Middle Age Russ wrote:This is an interesting little essay. It seems to be poking fun at the gun-control crowd -- not taking them or their efforts seriously. From what I see around us, though, the folks it is addressed to are engaged in exactly what the author proposes, but the methods are a bit different. The gun-control crowd uses the same playbook as the Progressive element -- they understand fully that dramatic change cannot be suddenly forced but can come about by LONG, sustained efforts. These folks are idealists but they fully understand that the only path to their goal is incremental in nature and are systematically working their plan. Today they will ask for more than they can expect to get. Tomorrow they'll receive some concession based on their request and again ask for more. The next day the cycle repeats... Over time, rights are eroded to the point of being as thin as the paper they were once printed on.
