"Their inability to reach a consensus notwithstanding, it’s evident that those who would eliminate private ownership of firearms all agree on one thing: they mean to leave us no choice."
"Weapons of Choice" is my Rights Watch column for the June issue of GUNS Magazine, on sale now at preferred newsstands throughout the Republic.

Triggerfinger is Learning...
...something we in Southern California's South Bay have known for some time--that columnist John Bogert of The Daily Breeze is an anti-defense zealot.
Matthew Hunter writes:
"The problem, as far as I can tell, is that he wasn't serious. He wanted to make some cheap points to readers who may not realize that gun rights organizations generally support all our Constitutional freedoms (while primarily focused on firearms issues, of course). He didn't want to actually support gun rights, but if he could dredge up some support for his own favored freedom, no problem. Sorry; alliances go both ways."
That about pegs the guy's MO.
He holds out some hopes that Bogert will correct himself, and that emails can help persuade him.
Sorry, Matthew. It just ain't gonna happen. But you made a valiant effort, and you got some great points across to an audience that has never heard them before, so your efforts were worth it.
