So, now you're sounding like the NRA?

For about twenty-five pages you've commenting about how the time has come. Remember, progunners gunners have a huge image problem, remember R's have to provide 'good' ideas, something HAS to be done. Careful what you you wish for, huh? But wait, manchin likes this one so it's bipartisan. We'll just pretend fienstine-n-company doesn't ratchet up any traction they can get on negative image front.

What does slippery slope mean? Some slippery slopes are real and some slippery slopes can be excused away with enthusiasm? A tiny few dems will score a reelection win for 'taking action', while the majority will have media fire up the base antigun rhetoric on steroids. And every now and then, they'll tone it down, appear reasonable and calmly say, look even gun folks are criticizing the NRA, and the President, and Ryan, and ole Mitch.

If you really think we're on a slippery slope, maybe next time, don't give 'em public sentiment ammo to grab that next increment and certainly anti tool that will be aggressively tweeked by the next narcissist with a regulatory pen that happen to be a progressive. If you really think we reached a slippery slope point, was it worth taking the 'high road', and criticizing and pressuring the only folks in the entire world that could've helped you. If there is no lopsided outcry, there would be no slippery slope.
