So a thought crossed my mind last week... what if some of the anti-gun whacko's who are so passionate about their cause "enlisted" crazies, those with suicidal or homocidal tendancies to commit the sort of public gun crimes that help them slowly get more and more leverage to take away our right to arm ourselves?
These sort of crimes certainly also happen on their own, but sprinkle in a handful of public shootings like the one in Colorado (or the one today at a mall in Portland) and they get more and more media airtime and more and more of the uniformed public's support. I can pretty easily see that some of the extremely radical liberals could rationalize a few innocent lives lost for the greater cause of national gun bans/control... Australians lost their rights after a single, high profile mass public shooting.
Just a thought, interested to see what everyone else thinks.
