More Problems For The Gun-Ban Lobby
While still a considerable threat to the Second Amendment, the
gun ban lobby formally known as HCI has fallen on hard times. Not
only has mainstream America consistently rejected its anti-gun
agenda, but now it seems its supporters are losing interest as
well.
The group announced this week that it had to lay off nearly
20% of its staff, apparently due to the fact that contributions
are rapidly drying up. Could this mean that many in the anti-gun
community are starting to realize that attacking law-abiding gun
owners is not the answer to addressing crime - or terrorism?
A front page article in the September 27 issue of Roll
Call may
give this theory some support. The article relates how many on
Capitol Hill are responding to the recent terrorist attacks, and
the possibility that more attacks may be in the future, and
states, "Several lawmakers described colleagues-including some
advocates of strict controls on handguns - who are now seeking
firearms training in hopes of protecting themselves if the need
should arise."

"What am I doing?"

Even film maker Michael Moore, who helped pressure
Kmart into pulling handgun ammunition from its shelves earlier
this year, seems to have changed some of his views. Writing about
his experience while visiting the site of the attacks on the
World Trade Center, Moore commented, "This started out as a
documentary on gun violence in America, but the largest mass
murder in our history was just committed-without the use of a
single gun! Not a single bullet fired! No bomb was set off, no
missile was fired, no weapon . . . was used. A boxcutter! - I can`t
stop thinking about this. A thousand gun control laws would not
have prevented this massacre. What am I doing?"
Unfortunately, even as HCI and the gun-ban movement continue to
lose support, they remain credible threats to our Right to Keep
and Bear Arms. Anti-gun elitists such as AGS`s billionare Andrew
McKelvey can still funnel incredible amounts of financial support
into anti-gun efforts. And while most in the mainstream media
have currently turned their focus to America`s response to
terrorism, it is likely only a matter of time before America`s
return to normalcy includes a return to the mainstream media`s
biased support of gun control.
