"A campaign fueled by emotion. . . Hate."
Kurt Schlichter is onto something here, even if he is over-optimistic about the politics of it: "Dems Shoot Themselves in the Foot Again On Guns."
We need to understand that the motivation behind the gun grabbing campaign has always been more than just naked political calculation. Certainly, liberals think it will help motivate their base and maybe shore up the squishy suburban mom demographic for 2014, but this is really a campaign fueled by emotion.
That emotion is hate.
This isn’t about dead children. If saving kids was their real motivation, liberals would have long ago allowed the police to end the daily slaughter in Democrat-owned war zones like Chicago, Detroit and Washington, D.C. No, this campaign is driven by elitist hatred for regular Americans who refuse to bend to their will, who defiantly live life on their own terms, and who stubbornly resist accepting the moral supremacy of the urban liberals who would rule them.
They want to show us who is boss, to put us in our place, to take away the proud symbols of – and the tools that protect – our independence for one reason and one reason only. They want to show that they can. They want to demonstrate that what rights we have come not from our maker but from them, to be granted or withdrawn as they please.
They want us disarmed, demoralized and defeated. They are furious that we refuse to allow it.

LOL, the fact that we allow our government to spy on us at will, force us to get permits to peaceably assemble, go through government checks to own protected weapons, remove our ability to worship as we individually see fit (without forcing anyone else to participate) on government funded premises, engage in undeclared wars, tax us without apportioned taxes in direct violation of the Constitution, etc., etc. PROVES they give us our rights....and can take them away as they please.
We're the fools who've let them.

Very, very obviously Mr Sweeeny, et al, have concluded a "minority", ( i.e. NJ gun owners and sportspersons ) are the "real perps", committing the armed robberies, driveby shootings, and homicides. I say "obviously" because all, repeat all of these proposed laws Sweeny is touting target a small, (and shrinking) , minority of NJ residents . (Sorta gives emphasis to the "hot mike" reevaluations of committee members real opinions/objectives.)
Doubtless Sweeny and his fellow travelers know who the real shooters in urban NJ are. If they don't - or plead ignorance - perhaps its time for a citizens committee investigation into the background and day to day dealings of of our legislators ! >Jeff
Schlicter hits the bullseye ! >Jeff
