The Elephant in the Room

 VCDL goals for the future? [More]

Enjoy the temporary respite, fellas. The "massive growth" talked about here neglects to mention a major factor even The New York Times recognized and crowed about a few years back:

“Guns, that is the most pressing issue for me,” said Vijay Katkuri, 38, a software engineer from southern India, explaining why he voted for a Democratic challenger in Tuesday’s elections... Mr. Katkuri’s vote — the first of his life — helped flip a longtime Republican State Senate district and deliver the Virginia statehouse to the Democratic Party for the first time in a generation... Once the heart of the confederacy, Virginia is now the land of Indian grocery stores, Korean churches and Diwali festivals... One in 10 people eligible to vote in the state were born outside the United States, up from one in 28 in 1990.

As long as "gun rights leaders" are afraid to say one word about the greatest threat, the long game will catch up with their followers -- and by then it will be too late, at least to contest things legislatively or through the courts.

It will be too late for we hayseeds in the hustings, but those grandees who speak only of the 'one issue' will be well and happy drinking and dining with their pals in the CONgress and the EXECUTive branch.

How can you let people like this out on the street to exercise such a dangerous "right" without thorough training, and rigorous testing to ensure they will not endanger all the rest of us?!
