The rightful cry of Second Amendment advocates has long been that laws should keep guns out of the hands of criminals or those who are bent on violence, and refrain from broadly punishing law-abiding Americans who do not pose a risk to themselves or others. [More]No, that's been the cry of preemptive surrenderers like Amy Swearer. That she is being given a prominent seat at the table speaks more to manipulation by connected sellouts than anything else. I'd never even heard of her until recently-- now she's the go-to authority for congressional testimony and supposedly representing gun owner interests? Who made that call?
There are no "good" Intolerable Acts. And how would one go about narrowly "punishing law-abiding Americans who do not pose a risk"?
More to the point, what's she going to talk Republicans into surrendering next?
Anyone too dangerous to be trusted with a gun is too dangerous to be trusted without a custodian. And making that determination will require real due process.
Noting who fills her feed bag, I'm with Mr. Jinx.
