(5,191 posts)You are among those who are empowering the gun lobby and ensuring that ten senators willing to entertain serious discussion of responsible gun control measures are hard to find. If the gun lobby had no supporters, it could not exert the pressure upon legislatures that it does to keep gun control off their dockets. If the gun community, of which you are a part, did not fight to prevent the election of any candidate favoring responsible gun control, if gun proponents would at least consider listening to proposals to regulate gun ownership, instead of reactionarily declaring war upon anyone who even thinks about trying to pass gun control legislation, in other words, if you guys were amenable to any sort of compromise at all, the discussion of gun issues in this country would be very, very different.
