I really don't like people using any tragic event especially 9/11 to foward their cause. I mean c'mon fight you own political war without using the unfourtunate events that obviously affect so many people and polarize them. Just because americans are on a new patriotic high doesn't mean we forget where we stand on other issues.
Tying gun contro issues to terrorists is cheap.
The anti-gun lobby often heralds Australia and Great Britain as ideal examples of gun control despite the lack of crime reduction in those nations. Indeed, the two now top the industrialized world in crime. These were and are failed endeavors with deadly consequences for many innocent citizens. This knowledge, then, reveals what could happen if the NRA's opponents were successful in using the terrorist threat to their advantage.
the nra should not have to defend it's position with regards to terrorism. Gun control issues were here before 9/11 and will continue to be here untill the pry the gun from my cold dead hands.
There is a local morning radio host that jokes about every change discussed, wether good or bad, by saying "we can't do that the terrorists win" well changes have to be made some because of 9/11 and others inspite of, and still others even if it never happened still need to be made.
