USA Today Opinion - Pushing Mandatory Buybacks Will Hand Victory to the NRA, Again
The author of this opinion piece, appearing in this morning's USA Today posts is "a co-founder of Third Way, was director of communications for Americans for Gun Safety and sits on the Board of Directors of Sandy Hook Promise."
Gun control advocate: Pushing mandatory buybacks will hand victory to the NRA, again Quote:
Quote:
We need to make sure that voters remember what, in a moment of 'honesty,' the anti-civil rights agenda has now admitted. Moms Demand Action can deny it. They can try to hide behind technological innovation. They can release PSA's. They can put 'moderate' Democrats out there to deny it. They can have Booker push back against Buttigieg for doing the NRA's work for them by calling it confiscation, then have people such as this author push back, in part, against Booker. They can get Bernie to deny that he wants confiscation, just registration. They can get Biden to flip-flop. But, Alan Gottlieb was right... Quote:
We need to make sure that none of them can. The question is, how can we contribute to that besides just donating to the NRA/CRPA and talking among ourselves? By the way, you gotta love the NRA survey showing just above the article... Last edited by TrappedinCalifornia; 10-21-2019 at 4:37 AM.. |

Until the SCOTUS wakes up from it's slumber, we are facing government confiscation daily here with our red flag laws.
You don't need to "buy them back" when you can simply take them away for 5years. |

Even a busted clock is right at certain times...
The Dems got so full of themselves...they forgot what they were actually championing and what country they were in. Now, after they “polled” the positions they were advocating...they may have figured out that they got too far ahead of...well...the Constitution. The majority of these weenies are too afraid to pull back, slow the rhetoric down...or, gee golly, speak out to say that they went too far. They made their damn bed...they can go to sleep in it...forever.

The author is not wrong. If the anti-2A movement follows his advice, we are in for a world of hurt. Only of they win the White House.
BTW, there is no NRA poll for me. That is target marketing based on your cookies. If I allowed the USA Today site to save a cookie and allowed their scripts to run, I would have seen a Macy's ad, as that was the last site I logged into. I clear my cookies after every session and I use script and tracking blockers. |

How can/do we take advantage of that? Quote:
Script and tracking blockers work... up to a point. But, they can/do create their own issues at times. In other words, I realize that not everyone will see the NRA Survey ad; which is why I included it in the OP. I just thought it was an interesting addendum to the story for those who do see it. |

SCOUTS won't rule on anything until they grant cert on what they consider to be the 'right' case. Ultimately, we do need 'help' from SCOTUS. However, what do we do in the mean time? |

The other battlefield, Public Relations, is more their immediate concern in this case. The key is that they've gotten ahead of ("jumped the gun on") public opinion. Even the 'best' of polls, not simply those 'favoring' their side, show the public does not favor confiscation. As an example, take a National Review article from September... Quote:

Everything I type on my laptop, phone, and desktop is permanently logged with my company and I am sure their security periodically tries to hack me proactively. I just live with it. There is no privacy.
Despite my political leaning obviously not fitting here in California, I am reasonably sure they don’t care much. |

The problem is they are going after the wrong people and the wrong peoples guns ,the dems have no understanding or common sense to see where a convicted felon gets there guns or ammo, The bottom line that they do not understand is no matter how many gun laws they make or try to enforce the criminals will do what ever they want, to say that legal gun owners with ak47 variants or ar15 variants make up majority of gun violence crime is absolute bs

At best, many of their supporters are either naïve to an extreme, afflicted with "we've got to do something/anything," or are misinformed, but don't care to listen. In many respects, they are the definition of what many claim Lenin referred to as "useful idiots." These are the people the Left preys upon in their quest for power. It's also why legislation and the PR which goes with it often sounds so idiotic, lacking in common sense, bereft of facts, etc. It's not appealing to rational thinking, but to emotion. |
