I'd like to see a list of the 20 peope who have the most influence on bringing down our gun rights. Maybe if we could concentrate on just them, we could suck the wind out of their movement? The easiest would be politicians, they can be voted into obscurity. I don't know the best way to bring down the others. But, I do know the main problem with "our side" is we are always reactive and defensive.

The list should be in order of most future influence & categorized. Keep in mind that the one on TV is not always the one who is most influential.
Something like this:


"Top 20 Most Influential Anti-Gun People"

George Sorros
Financial
George Sorrow contributes hundreds of millions of dollars to groups such as MoveOn.org
He has been quoted as "...."
Without his money, many, many others would not be heard from or able to do their mailers, etc.

Diane Feinstein
Politician - US Senator
Co-Sponsored Assault Weapons Ban, and many others. Her bills have been successful and she keeps getting re-elected. She has been a very successful politician.

Charles Schumer
Politician - US Senator
Co-Sponsored Assault Weapons Ban, and many others. His bills have been successful and he keeps getting re-elected.

Michael Moore
Activist - Film Producer
Propagandist who makes speaches, writes articles and has produced movies like "Bowling for Columbine". He makes the list because his films actually get rented & because the ignorant believe such are truthful.



** Add some of your own and I'll add them here...

Hmmmmmmm.

If I were making a California list, there'd only be about 15 - 20 names total, in terms of "major players". And that's BOTH activists and politicians!

A lot of Dem legislators go along with gun-grabbing but don't "instigate".

There's really not a lot of these clowns. Not out in front public anyways. I think a LOT of what happens occurs in "smoky back rooms" where Dem party strategists get arm-twisted by the hardcore grabbers like DiFi, Schumer, etc. Same as in some states (NJ, IL, CA).

There's probably major back-room players we don't know at all.

Anyways. To do this right we'd have to break this down to activists and politicians.
 
Put John McCain on the list, and his maybe-running mate John Kerry too.

McCain is an all-around, equal opportunity oathbreaker and domestic enemy of the United States Constitution. Remember the *McCain*-Feingold "campaign finance reform" Act, which criminalizes political speech? And one of McCain's pet hobbyhorses is "closing the gun show loophole." (McCain never saw a liberty he couldn't call a "loophole.")

I'm just as sick of hearing about what a big war hero McCain was as I am of hearing about what a big war hero his maybe-running mate Kerry was. I just don't give a hoot. That was a long time ago, and this election is not going to be a referendum on Vietnam (or even Iraq) for me. Now that I think of it, Benedict Arnold was a big war hero too -- right up until the time he turned traitor.

MCB:cuss:
 
Yeah, That carpetbagging shrew clinton is rising up there with schumer and fienstein, Let's not forget deep sea diver Ted either.:fire:
 
There are politicians and then there are hardcore gun grabbers. Politicians who are philosophically predisposed to ban firearms will cease those efforts if unpopular with their constituencies. Remaining in power is the ultimate goal, and anything that gets in the way goes by the wayside. Politicians, however, are the tools of the hardcore gun grabbers, the 'activists', who offer up constituencies in exchange for the politicians anti-gun vote(s). Groups such as "People for the American Way" and other Marxist organizations can produce and deliver a significant amount of public opinion by way of their broad anti-American stance on a wide variety of issues. When they advocate gun control in the mix, they have more to offer to the politicians. Does that make sense?
 
Ted Kennedy - bloated leftover from the Kennedy era. Reminds us not to feed the animals at the zoo. Potentially dangerous so remember the rule: guns, ahem, cars and alcohol don't mix.
 
Making a list ?

Let this list never lead the prosecuter to us. Ah ah
I want to add the prosecuter and my lawyer.
Results may vary.
 
Please let me add...

Al Capone
Bugsy Siegel
Bonnie Parker & Clyde Barrow
Pretty Boy Floyd

And all the other gangsters whose irresponsible use of guns gave rise to so much seminal anti legislation.
 
RileyMC: Yes, much valid stuff. But, howabout names. This is why I specifically am thinking about those who actually get stuff done. Like Soros & Moore.

ghobrien: ;) This is a "Tribute" list to the "Most Influential".


** Ourselves, we are really bad about grumbling and talking and not accomplishing anything. We came close with the recent primary for Arlen Specter. We need to become active and go on the offensive rather than always just grumbling or being defensive
 
Benedict Arnold was a big war hero too -- right up until the time he turned traitor.
Click to expand...

When I get people asking me how I can question Kerry's patriotism even though he served and was decorated during Vietnam, I like to point out that after WWI, General Henri-Philippe Pétain was considered one of Frances biggest war hero's, but 27 years later in 1945 (after WWII) he was tried and convicted for treason because of the part he played in the Vichy/French government during German occupation.
 
Lets not be to PC

My stomach turns at the PC. Also the thought of tribute to the treasonous. Lists of the blissfully ignorant would be safer to handle on an open and public site.
Laws of the land are the laws of the people. Until the right guardians and caretakers are in the right places will this countries laws revert or be restored to younger version. Life for most Americans may be to fast to think or even wonder what built this country.
 
Richard J daley Jr.
Henry Waxman
Diane Feinstein
Carolyn McCarthy
Edward M Kennedy Jr.
Charles Shumer
Don Perta


Josh Sugarman
Sarah Brady
Tom Diaz
George Soros
The owner of Monster.com
 
Mikey Moore definitely deserves a place on the list. His work doesn't stand up to serious scrutiny, but it definitely has the power to influence fence-sitters.

edit: D'oh! Shouldn't have just skimmed it!
 
Funny how you don't see real men of peace like Jesus, Mohandas Gandhi, or the Dali Lama on that list. They all in one way or another affirmed the fundamental human right to keep arms for self defense.

All you see on the anti side are the cheap leftist politicians (Charles Schumer, John Kerry, Diane Finestein) and wealthy sociopathic control freaks (George Soros, Theresa Heinz-Kerry).

Well, a lot of these names are prominent anti-gun people; but only a very few of them that I have seen represent real dangers. The MMM and Brady people have done little but drive their organizations into the ground. I'd actually like to see them stay at the helm.

The ones that concern me are the politicians who can make their foolish whims into the law of the land, the judges who can do the same with bad rulings and the men who can finance such movements.

I'd have to give Feinstein, Schumer, Kennedy, Soros, and McKelvey the nod for those reasons.
