speaking of hypocrisy, i love how the NRA claims that their first and foremost goal is "protecting the constitution" (then the second amendment), and of course these are the same people who rip into the ACLU on a constant basis
by the way, what's the attack against the ACLU from these right-wingers who claim to be constitution lovers? do they say the ACLU is misinterpreting the first amendment, or are they just not concerned at all with blatant hypocrisy (ala, anti-abortion, pro-death)?
i used to be a gun control activist (interned at handgun control, inc, etc), until i sobered up and realized what a futile cause it is ... NRA / gun industry just has too much $$$ and too many voters who make it a #1 issue and a litmus test for candidates ... 80%+ people in this country support common sense gun control, but barely any of them would make it a litmus test, hardly any make it their #1 issue, and even less donate $$$ to the cause.
