The intimation-only came in the line "There’s no reason to buy Congesspeople when there’s nothing to lobby for or against."<br /><br />Nothing will change, however, until someone walks into a crowded room and shoots it up with a plastic assault weapon. <br /><br />This is certainly going to be fascinating to watch.

Wayne LaPierre and his ilk notwithstanding, can you not imagine the chill that went up and down the spines of every gun manufacturing executive, stockholder and lobbyist in the country? Think about it. They are not going to make their numbers if people can simply PRINT their guns and then not have the hassles of background checks, registration and everything else that currently exists. As the printing technology improves and the plans improve, so will the sophistication of the printed weapons. That sucking sound we hear is the gun manufacturers' profits going down the toilet. The distributors and resellers are going to have to find other things to sell, since guns won't be as profitable for them, either.<br /><br />This being the inevitable case, the NRA is going to have to lobby AGAINST the very thing it now says it's behind -- the right of the people to bear arms without infringement. And why? Because without the financial backing of the manufacturers, the NRA can't afford to buy congressional representatives.<br /><br />Talking out of both sides of one's mouth is supremely difficult when the orifice is shaped into a shocked "OH!"<br /><br />I love it that LaPierre didn't think through the possibilities and consequences of his bombastic, gun-totin' rhetoric.-mbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06546809160309345118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7465072391199760560.post-65967587906319627392013-05-07T10:11:39.869-05:002013-05-07T10:11:39.869-05:00America is crumbling.

It doesn't get any better, folks, so hang on to your hats! *Or guns.<br /><br /> We need our pharamaceuticals (and I'd say THEIR lobby is doing a much better job staying out of the lime light). Criminals await our gun laws, so they can get in compliance. <br /><br />=doug=Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7465072391199760560.post-54747638412699024692013-05-07T09:51:24.051-05:002013-05-07T09:51:24.051-05:00'we’re gonna have to do some serious thinking ...'we’re gonna have to do some serious thinking about what we actually want to regulate'<br />>>>>>>>>>>AGREED<<<<<<<<<<<br /><br />Trazadone, Topomax, Xanax, Prozac, Ambien, Zoloft, Celexa... <br /><br />--doug--Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7465072391199760560.post-61861188065974051012013-05-06T23:15:29.640-05:002013-05-06T23:15:29.640-05:00Fuck the fucked up gun lobby, they are serious fuc...Fuck the fucked up gun lobby, they are serious fucked up shit, and this element of America sucks ass.
