But this time, things might be different. Not because of the record number of people killed in Orlando or because this heinous act was a terrorist attack, a hate crime and a mass shooting. It’s because the victims were part of a social movement with deep organizational infrastructure and political know-how largely unmatched within the gun-control movement. It’s because the attack targeted gays, and their community is organized. |

If you have read the news, interest in guns within the gay community is skyrocketing in the wake of the massacre. They're not taking on the NRA so much as joining it.
Welcome, new friends! |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
