More democrats and guns
Good read entitledWhy I’m no longer anti-gun. Key quote:
The gun control lobby is to the left what the anti-stem-cell-research mob is to the right. They’re all anti-fact radicals who drive more people away from their party than they bring in
Ayup. And GLN brings us the Firearms Coalition Alert:
Pro-gun Democrats face many challenges that make it difficult for them to live up to their campaign promises to gun-voters. Not only do they often have Party Leadership breathing down their necks and their peers pressuring them to double cross us, they typically have dedicated, dyed-in-the-wool, anti-gun Democrats making up their staff. These staffers hold a lot of power and can make a huge difference in how a member of Congress performs.

Even if the Democrats are starting to get serious about giving up on gun-control, it’ll take a long time for the party to really change. The rot in this case runs pretty deep, and the Democrats have a long way to go before I start trusting them on this issue.

False comparison. Gun controllers distort facts; stem-cell opponents at least can accurately claim that embryonic stem cell research hasn’t led to a single cure so far.
Embryonic stem cell research is the modern Laetrile: Lots of hype, not much substance.

I thought the stem cell issue was all about abortion and had nothing to do with the actual research. Pro-lifers don’t want it to legitimize abortions while pro-choicers do.
