The political problem with gun control...I disagree. The political problem with gun control is that the 2nd Amendment Rights advocates (of whom I include myself) are well organized. They pretty much define grass roots. Further, while there is a definite right tilt to the group, advocacy for the right to bear arms stretches all the way across the political spectrum.<br /><br />The Bradyites are largely astro-turf. And the Washington pols have come to understand that. They may try to slip some form of gun control through (To a certain extent you can hide anything in a 1,000+ page appropriations bill), but I don't see a straight up proposal with debate and all the other goodies happening.<br /><br />From the lefty view point, Gun Control doesn't put money in the pols coffers and it doesn't draw voters to the polls. A fair number of people support it, but they are not passionate about it.<br /><br />So you have an issue that fires up your opposition and diminishes your supporters. Unless you're MAxine Waters or John Lewis and a congresscritter for life, you do not want gun control even mentioned. <br /><br />A representative may be for or agaianst any number of issues. But there is one issue they are unanimous on. They are all against unemployment.mousestalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07640977915382623244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839722827888249291.post-48351336742637670782009-07-28T16:26:29.097-05:002009-07-28T16:26:29.097-05:00Just a matter of time, just a matter of time.
