I'm not sure it really matters.
Fine, let folks have that perspective.
One of the emphasis of study in political science are interest groups and stake holders.
The theory here, is that for every interest group, there will be a counteracting, and equally powerful group lobbying in D.C.
SO? Folks can blitz propaganda, whining about the undue influence of the NRA. . . And? Folks that support the right to bear arms, can just whine back. . .
Does anyone seriously think if the opposing interest group gets their way, that Mikey is going to give up the guns on his security detail?
He doesn't care about the lower and middle class rights to self-defense, only his own. Any gun laws, will still make room for the elites to have private security firms to be able to own guns, you can bet on that. . .
All this talk about "gun control," by these folks opposed to the NRA? COMPLETE BULLSHIT AND HYPOCRISY.
