Great Minds think alike--
1. Standing Wolf must have read my mind--both for who "HHH" was (probably the last Democrat from the postwar era worth voting for), and for doing the "Jews and Hitler" comment.
For the life of me, I don't see how people don't understand political compromise in this political area (gun control) will not result in total confiscation. Look at the current history elsewhere--e.g., UK and Australia--blah, blah, blah.
2. Otherwise, gc70 covered comments from me, too.
FWIW, I am 60; I have both an AB degree from one of the better private Liberal Arts Colleges in the country, and an MAT degree from a state college as well. I started out as a HS English Teacher, and I considered myself a liberal for some time--until I wised up to what political liberalism had become, peddling vote-buying and victimology.
I have been an active pro-gun force for pushing fifteen years now, politically aware for twenty, and I have found that, in the long run, no compromise on this topic is possible if we are to have even minimal firearms ownership twenty or thirty years from now.
"Compromise" on this subject will get us the AWB as a minimum, and Metzenbaum and Feinstein crowing about the "camel's nose under the tent" and "Mr.& Mrs. American, turn 'em all in."
