re: #334 WindUpBird

the rhetoric is paranoid militia rhetoric.

For every actual creepy militia member who is out in the woods playing Turner Diaries LARP, there’s a hundred guys who fancy themselves that in their heads, but stay at home and never do anything. And that’s what the NRA does, it sells to column B.

aaand then some of column B is empowered over time to edge into column A, and then :(

Like being in a band, for every guy in a band. there’s a bunch who just play at home and dream

Never happened either. Obama barely said a peep about gun control even after the Giffords shooting. Obama is more conservative about gun ownership the average liberal.
