[QUOTE="Antigonus, post: 1850488, member: 19664"] Again - you're taking one fine and turning it into a vast conspiracy to "erode" gun rights when you personally have felt literally zero effects of such an effort. It makes you sound really, really paranoid. The fact that someone pointing these facts out to you results in you instantly calling them a "lib water carrier" for the President only makes it worse. I'm a huge gun rights advocate. I don't agree with Obama's stated personal views on gun control. But the FACT is that his administration has undertaken no action against gun rights in the United States, contrary to all the hyperbole that was thrown around in 2007-8. Instead of admitting that such expectations turned out to be false, I've noticed some people in the 2nd Amendment community have just doubled down and are resorting to conspiracy theories based on incredibly shaky or non-existent evidence as above. It makes sense - some people just can't admit that they were wrong. [/QUOTE]
