可以看出，大批控枪派其实是禁枪派伪装的，和这些人有什么好谈的呢？
How the Gun-Control Movement Got Smart
http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2013/02/how-the-gun
Here is how advocates of gun control used to talk about their cause: They
openly disputed that the Second Amendment conferred the right to own a gun.
Their major policy goals were to make handguns illegal and enroll all U.S.
gun owners in a federal database. The group now known as the Brady Campaign
to Prevent Gun Violence was once known as Handgun Control Inc.; a 2001 book
by the executive director of the Violence Policy Center was entitled Every
Handgun Is Aimed at You: The Case for Banning Handguns.
Contrast that with what you see today: Gun-control groups don't even use the
term "gun control," with its big-government implications, favoring "
preventing gun violence" instead. Democratic politicians preface every
appeal for reform with a paean to the rights enshrined in the Second
Amendment and bend over backwards to assure "law-abiding gun owners" they
mean them no ill will. Even the president, a Chicago liberal who once
derided rural voters' tendency to "cling to guns or religion," seeks to
assure gun enthusiasts he's one of them by citing a heretofore-unknown
enthusiasm for skeet shooting, adding, "I have a profound respect for the
traditions of hunting that trace back in this country for generations. And I
think those who dismiss that out of hand make a big mistake."
A frequent question in the current battle over gun control is why anyone
should expect reform to succeed now when it's failed repeatedly for the last
20 years. Maybe this is why: Between then and now, advocates of gun control
got smarter. They've radically changed their message into one that's more
appealing to Middle America and moderate voters. |
