Far fetched? It couldn’t happen here? Maybe and maybe not. [More]Mark Epstein speculates on potentials. While no one can predict with certainty the way specific actions and events might unfold, I can think of less likely things that could happen.

and that's a good demonstration of just how mentally incapacitated the opposition is, to boot. how can an anti-gun-rights social democrat argue that any one gun owner or "class" of gun owner should sit this one out? they fail to realize those distinctions we jibe each other with -- fudd, tacticool, etc. -- are our own inside jokes. they don't seem to get that there is essentially zero marginal cost to join the fray once the means to freedom is outlawed, and that we'd immediately close ranks for the sake of disposing ourselves of the nuisance.
we can solve our own problems later.
