    The rally in Albany brought approx 2000 people. It was impressive and freezing. I heard that turnout around the country was pretty good. I live in NY, I have had luck pushing this plan on the liberals in my state. My plan is to have them approach us with this plan, rather than have us approach them with it. If this is their starting point, compromise is a much better scenario. If I were the G.O.P. House and a tightly locked Senate, I wouldn't give an inch. We will wait until we have either both houses or House the executive. At that point we'll be able to push for a national carry law along with any reforms and the middle ground will be decided more on our terms.

    Here is a neat graph, illustrating the drop in homicides over the past few years while the ownership of high powered firearms has hit record levels. Notice the level of deaths caused by rifles and what direction they are moving in spite of record numbers of AR/AK buyers.

    "That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's cottage is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there."
    -Eric "George Orwell" Blair

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
    (Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).
