All of us who watched the Presidential campaign at all heard Obama repeat a certain phrase over and over. I'm talking about his constant references to "eight years of George W. Bush's failed policies" or some version thereof. He used this, of course, as a derogatory statement, to paint McCain as a continuation of a series of failed policies.
Now, one of my favorite debate tactics is to turn an opponent's words against him. Beyond being generally effective, it's also just plain fun.
Anyway, I got to thinking- there are a lot more than eight years of failed gun control policies. And they've all failed. They've failed to keep guns out of the hands of criminals, they've failed to reduce crime, they've failed do anything constructive.
So, I suggest that if/when we see Obama, or any of his supporters, bring gun control into the picture, it's time to turn his words against him. He wanted to reverse the damage of failed policies, well, here's a failed policy he's supporting.
Just an interesting way of looking at it that just occurred to me. Hopefully this is resemblant enough to some kind of plan to live in this forum; if not, lock away and please accept my apologies.
