Gun control

Monday’s fatal shooting of 32 students on a Virginia college campus has thrust the issue of gun control back towards the top of the political agenda and put the country’s powerful gun lobby on the defensive.

But it is far from certain that the Democrats will seriously challenge the gun lobby even after this week’s tragedy. Scarred by the role that gun politics played in the defeats of Al Gore and John Kerry in the past two presidential elections, analysts say many Democrats would be reluctant to support draconian laws that risk alienating gun-owners.

We can never let down our guard. Gun control is always lurking in and around the liberal agenda.

So the same government that allows millions of illegal people to arrive in the country undetected, is going to prevent illegal guns from being in the hands of evil people? Really.

It is all part of the liberal agenda to exert more government control over peoples' lives and foster dependence upon big government.

Liberals never pass up a chance to exploit America's misery so that liberals can advance the cause of liberalism.
