But CA renter, where is the evidence? Do you have a notarized copy indicating the intent of the moneyed class with respect to arms control?
SK has direct mind control line with Bloomberg, so he obviously needs to make no effort to back up his “assertions” about Bloomberg’s intent or provide any “conclusive evidence”.
SK is right though that there is a lot of public pressure to bear arms and it is also channeled well in terms of numbers and resources by the lobby groups. A bunch of “little people” putting in their $35 is the only thing standing between the moneyed class and their objective of control.[/quote]
I’m not sure exactly where the sarcasm begins and ends here. Who are the little people putting in their $35? Is that the pro-gun lobby funded by gun manufacturers and right-wing groups like Crossroads GPS and the Koch brothers? Or is it the citizens of Newtown who saw the damage caused by guns first hand?
My point is, there is some big money moving hands on both sides of this issue, but by far the biggest chunks of money come in on the pro-gun side. My own feelings are pretty much in alignment with Allan’s, maybe with only a few tiny tweaks. But I certainly don’t see any evidence that there’s any kind of conspiracy among the monied or the government supporting either side of this issue. If there was, we’d see movement, at very least consistent with popular opinion. We haven’t. Actual movement (or lack thereof) has gone contrary to popular opinion, even though, according to the theory of “they want to take away our guns” it should go the other way.
