The lack of a motive and the division, distrust, and fear it causes is exactly my point. The best wedge. I am looking at the long run. The End Game.
The end game is more gun control. Anything, but they want to ban SOMEthing.
Unfortunately, in its rush to throw a bone to the antis, the NRA has screwed up and blamed a THING instead of leaving the blame with the criminal, a point they had campaigned on for years. OOPS. (And being a lifelong NRA member, a stupid move that needs clarification, and if they blame the device, one that pisses me off.)
Once an inert piece of plastic becomes inherently evil in the minds of people, how much more so will they present the device that actually fires bullets? Stupid, stupid, stupid. If that wasn't the impression the NRA intended to give, it would be really nice to see a strong clarifying statement to that effect.
