"Exactly what do you mean by “corrupt industry”?"
Tell us, how many gun factories does the Reverend Sun Myung Moon own? How many NRA board members have criminal convictions? How many have ties to white supremacist or militia groups?

Frank Lautenberg has spelled out many instances of scummy practices by the gun industry. And you might look at this for further evidence:

"your opinions with respect to gun ownership are based on emotions"
No, they're based on facts.
--The courts HAVE ruled again and again and again that the --Second Amendment grants no individual right to gun ownership.
--The gun rights movement DID arise in the 1970s when extreme right wingers could no longer flaunt their racism in public and needed code words.
--The majority of voters DOES support gun control.
--Gun control DOES work to cut gun crime and bloodshed.
--John Kerry was NOT "anti-gun" and the gun lobby DID lie about him.

Now show me anything about the pro-gun movement that isn't based on right wing extremist idiocy or paranoia.

"It is impossible to apply logic and reason to Madison’s Federalist # 46 and not realize that Madison believed in the right to keep and bear arms."
And even more impossible to read it and pretend that Madison doesn't do so in the context of a well-regulated millitia such as the state National Guard...unless one wishes to be totally dishonest. In fact, the title of Federalist 46 is "The Influence of the State and Federal Governments Compared" not "Why every oaf ought to have a gun".

"So, it’s not about the Constitution, it’s about how you feel—isn’t it, sir?"
Not even close to true. Now tell us what about this claim by chinless gumps that Democrats are going to take their guns that's not based on what they feel....and what about that feeling isn't simple-minded, dishonest and neurotic.
