Of course, I doubt we will ever know, and continue to be demonized, but I guess that is life. As for Ricker, he is waging one hell of a public relations campaign, that seems to be yielding few, if any, results - their enrollment is still low, the reality of their anti-gun stance is still obvious, and everyone knows it. Poor Bob. It certainly would be interesting if we simply provided the excuse… Of course, I doubt we will ever know, and continue to be demonized, but I guess that is life.

We may have been the proverbial straw that simply broke the already injured camel's back.

In fact, he's counting on it. This is all a carefully orchestrated image his organization is trying to sell. Bob knows that. In fact, he’s counting on it.

And so the NRA has been able to use that very effectively to keep everybody in lockstep so that nobody breaks rank.

If he knew gun owners, he’d know they herd about as well as cats.

Ricker says the president-elect proved his support of the Second Amendment in 2005, when Obama voted in favor of an amendment … preventing local and state government from seizing personal firearms during a national emergency. “We saw Obama stand up and support the Second Amendment and say ‘government can’t take our guns away,’ ” he said. “Law-abiding gun owners have nothing to fear.”

I suppose that if Nero or Hitler or Stalin each just pardoned one along the way, that would prove they were not a murderous tyrant?

Ricker is “out to lunch” but quite unfortunately, has quite a platform now.
