2. Ummm, backlash suggests something actually happened

I know your regular Google dumps gets you all excited and such, but a few articles in typically anti gun media about gun control people whining again isn't really much of a backlash.

Now if they could actually point to a few examples of places where "Stricter gun-control legislation would decrease violent crime" actually happened, they might be taken a bit more seriously. But your other "google dump post 'o the day" refers to the shootings in Chicago, where you already have your ideal stricter gun control utopia and deaths are up 60% over last year.

Sure, by actually writing a letter to the editor or drafting a POV editorial, they've done far more than you and your little friends here, who just sit on your ass and post angry, poorly informed screeds, but still - it's not much of a backlash.

I'm just guessin' here, but I don't think Wayne LaPierre is losing sleep over your efforts and Castle and SYG laws will stay in place when it's all said and done.
