"Never let it be said that the gun prohibitionist lobby passes up an opportunity to exploit a crime victim to promote its political agenda, but in the case of slain Seattle Police Officer Timothy Q. Brenton, a new speed record for insensitivity may have been achieved." ...

| This is the basic shootout at McDonald's strategy. Capitalize on the immediate, if it bleeds, it leads mentality. These same people will NOT acknowledge the times firearms are used in self-defense against home invasions, armed carjackings and the like. It is an emotional response to a real problem, but misdirected. The result is usually the further restriction or denial of gun rights to residents, with little to no effect on crime. Using the same tactics and logic, pro gun forces could have likely armed 80% of Americans after 9/11 using similar pleas. Many Americans are smarter than that, and will respond with reason, common sense and an awareness of 2nd amendment rights and responsibilities. |
