    If you read the bit I wrote in response to your WHY U LIKE 2A question, you will see that I believe absolutism is bad for our rights in the long run. You win battles with fanaticism, but you lose wars.

    Ever read King Lear? "I loved her not wisely, but too well." In the case of the NRA, I'd amend it to, "I loved guns not wisely, but too well."
    I read it. You don't have to tell me. I wanted background checks enough that I was willing to just take the Manchin-Toomey agreement and be done with it. I still think it can work if it originates in the House. Why are you against this plan? If it comes from the House and expands gun rights at the same time as it closes up sales loopholes, why are you ideologically opposed to the point of wrath? Would you prefer to wait 2 more years in case the Democrats take the House? The blood will be on your hands for the lives lost in the interim!... How does that feel?

    "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).
