Hickenlooper to Gunowners: "I will take your guns"

[Irving]

Well, I don't want to get into the abortion issue either way, as I don't think it is an appropriate parallel to guns. I guess that was the point I was making.

Regardless, it doesn't matter how things are perceived in the battle over abortion, because that has nothing to do with guns and is totally irrelevant. I guess that's what I'm trying to say.

Agree completely, let's not bring abortion into this discussion. It has nothing to do with guns.

Agreed.
Yet I stand by my post: MAIG is anti-gun.

Moviestar says "yes there is a middle ground".

The big problem with the "middle ground" or compromise is assumes that the opposition will honor a compromise. The words incrementalism, progressive and slippery slope come to mind.

I compromised in 1934 with the National Firearms Act .

I compromised in 1968 with the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 and the Gun Control Act of 1968.

I compromised in1986 with the Firearms Owner's Protection Act.

I compromised in 1993 with the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act.

I compromised in 1994 with the Assault Weapons Ban which fortunately self repealed in 2004.

I'm not inclined to compromise and meet someone half way when they come back and want to take more time after time after time. They keep moving the middle ground.

No more. You want them come and get them.

I agree! Any more into the "middle ground", and we will be rolling downhill towards total gun control.
