Knocking down the talking points, one by one

The 'talking point' to justify not enacting gun background check legislation that 92% of Americans support is that, "if we allow this to be passed it's just the camel's nose under the tent. The liberals will just want more when it doesn't work..."

The problem with this 'thinking' is that if reasonable legislation can be stopped by democracy, wouldn't it be really easy to stop future legislation when this failed to preform? Isn't obvious that what they really fear is that it would work, and that gun sales would plummet as the 'irrational fear' that they've created subsides?

1. Why can't the just take their billions

and call it a day.... then let the majority of the human race have what it wants instead of holding it hostage for more plunder?

2. Because they don't do it for the money itself.

The money is just how they keep score.
