I understand that most Americans are connected to teh internets, and presumably that would make those online about evenly split between Conservative and Liberal. I ask, though, in reference to the Zumbo fiasco. He came out online on the side of gun grabbers and the response was swift and painful. Has a similar thing happened in the liberal camp? Have liberal forumites and bloggers united effectively for a liberal cause with similar results?
With the introduction of the new AWB, I would expect the liberals to be crowing and falling in line to support it. I don’t see it happening. When I google H.R. 1022 or assault weapon ban, the only relevant results are either conservative bloggers or forums like THR that are sounding the warning. The Brady blog has written about it, but there is no mention of the new AWB on their home page. I have been watching http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1022.html that shows the status of 1022 and comments about it. 99% of the votes and 100% of the comments are against it. Where are the gun grabbers?
Are guns an issue in which liberals have only a passing interest? Are we EBR owners the only ones for whom this is a hot button topic?
