Mar 2012

you go about dragging someone to a position they truly do not believe.

I do not believe I demonize anyone. Per the Brady Campaign:

4 star states- 1, CA
3 star states- 5
2 star states- 5 (even with Chicago, IL falls here)
1 star states- 8

that leaves 31 states graded with 0 stars...

Legislation they are promoting: Background checks (which the NRA strongly supports), assault weapons (made up term to describe cosmetic differences- automatic weapons, now that is a horse of a different color), micro stamping (doesn't work yet, questionable usefulness if it did), CCW (want reversed. Note my comment about the hypocrisy for the elite earlier), Hi-cap mags (I would be willing to negotiate on this one although I do believe when it was imposed before the complaint was people were buying larger "more lethal" calibers)
We are told Chicago, NYC, DC(formerly) and England are models we should emulate. It makes that slope look awfully slippery.

Shall Issue was the foot in the door and it was pushed as a response to the capricious May Issue that most states had. In CA where it is may issue we STILL see capriciousness in action. Well connected, rich, famous get permits easily; everyone else take your chances...
