Our enemies are getting bolder--they're no longer calling them "buybacks." They're calling them what they are--a surrender.
I guess they don't need to mask their contempt with "sportsmen" like Frank Hollis leading the charge to wave the white flag.
Mr. Hollis, I believe Mr. Adams would like to have a word with you.

Analogies
GunShowOnTheNet compares the rights thieves to termites:
That works. I've also seen them compared to a cancer.
Me, I've taken to thinking of them as AIDS--interfering with the body politic's ability to defend itself against infection.
No analogy will be perfect, but their use may be helpful. You wouldn't think about compromising goals with an insect infestation, or with a deadly infection.
They are an infestation that works unceasingly at nibbling away valuable structures. Causing untold damage and harm.

Machine-Gun Toting Pirates Attack Ship
And the cruise ship got lucky--they were able to outrun their pursuers.
What about repelling attackers?
Sorry.
Per the International Maritime Organization:
I wrote about this obscene situation years ago in my GUNS & AMMO article "A Pirate's Life For Me."
UPDATE: Publicola also has something to say.

Per the International Maritime Organization:
Firearms
45 The carrying and use of firearms for personal protection or protection of a ship is strongly discouraged.
46 Carriage of arms on board ship may encourage attackers to carry firearms thereby escalating an already dangerous situation, and any firearms on board may themselves become an attractive target for an attacker. The use of firearms requires special training and aptitudes and the risk of accidents with firearms carried on board ship is great. In some jurisdictions, killing a national may have unforeseen consequences even for a person who believes he has acted in self defence.

All in the Line of Duty
As mentioned in the post below, attorney Gary W. Gorski is looking for plaintiffs against the San Francisco gun ban, which will probably pass on Tuesday.
One of the cases Gary is currently working on involves police brutality at Sacramento County Jail. The Sacramento Bee article this post links to contains graphic photos, as well as links to videos demonstrating tactics employed to ensure obedience.
Watch the videos and look at the pictures, and imagine that instead of being arested for alleged drinking, the victims were gun owners caught in possession of banned firearms.
