55. So what have you done in the real world for gun control?

Fourth or fifth time I've asked you, never get an answer. But I guess that is the answer.

No point in moving, we'll have CCW here in the next year or two and I can wait.

It's probably safe to assume that you really have made no real world contributions to gun control, aside from your online screeds. And since you primarily use other people's material, you can't even publish a collection of them without violating copyright law.

With no visible support, no grass roots organization, a dwindling number of supporters and no funding sources besides a handful of corporate foundations, how do you expect to ever achieve your political goals re: gun control?

Notice Henigan's backhanded acknowledgement of Heller's validity in that piece. friendly_iconoclast Jan 2012 #41

Yep, the judge be right. Heller was "quite narrow," despite what the NRA told their minions. Hoyt Jan 2012 #56

Unfortunately for those on the pro-gun control side, McDonald was not "quite narrow"... S_B_Jackson Feb 2012 #89

You better hold em tight. Hoyt Feb 2012 #90

Do you disagree that states and municipalities who are intent upon infringing S_B_Jackson Feb 2012 #94

Yep, Heller was narrow pipoman Feb 2012 #71

Just shows how easily precedent is reversed -- especially 5/4 decision on issues like guns. Hoyt Feb 2012 #95

What, pray tell, was reversed? pipoman Feb 2012 #97
