[QUOTE="ConstitutionCowboy, post: 3312216, member: 745"] The Overton Window is a process whereby a person or group introduces something like gun confiscation, campaigns for it, pushes for it, gets some public support but not enough to get it passed and then "compromises" with the opposition and gets something passed that is less than the original goal - maybe background checks, or registration - that ends up being a step toward their goal. Then they rinse and repeat over time, and, step by step, sometimes make it to their goal, and only the alert and astute realize they have been had. The good thing about this process is that both sides can play it and lost freedom and liberty can be regained. It's not limited to the example I used that we are so familiar with. It could involve taxation, welfare, suffrage, or any other aspect of our lives. [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window']Joseph P. Overton[/URL] Woody [/QUOTE]
