I highly recommend you read through this research study. It was performed by an independent research group, paid for by some of the usual suspect gun control organizations. In case the link goes down, just Google "Preventing Gun Violence Through Effective Messaging" and you'll find dozens of places to download it.
In this 80 page e-book, laid out are the tactics for engaging the American people with what could be accurately described as techniques that are effectively psychological warfare. Strategically, arguments are crafted to play to people's emotional and logical weaknesses, working towards convincing the layman or uninformed opponent to support their various positions and arguments. This is an important look into the mindset of those we face. And make no mistake, they are the enemy of the American people. As far as I'm concerned, it's also good proof as to why we really can't afford to "compromise", as they will always make it to our disadvantage.
Frankly, this stuff makes me sick. Worse yet, that the research study was performed and funded by Americans, ultimately towards the aim of disarming and decreasing the safety of Americans. I honestly have to wonder if there is a case that could one day be made, that such actions could potentially be violations of various sections of 18 USC Chapter 115 (Treason, Sedition, and Subversive Activities). I'm not a lawyer by any means but, there has to be a line in the sand somewhere, where actively pursuing certain things that decrease the safety of our country are actually illegal. Enough mindless ranting from me tonight. Discuss.
