You sure can when the tactics are the same.

They should have made the second amendment the first. Then I think you'd get it.

Then any movement == any movement, by that logic. That's just the essence of politics.

Pro-gun does fit the comparison much better, because there are obvious industry profits behind the lobbies - at the cost of violence and death.

i think you're confusing the massive and well-funded military lobby (the people who make 40mm autocannon) with the mixed civilian/military/police small arms industry (who make your everyday .223 AR-15). it's much harder to make it in the latter as a small businessman due to massively onerous regulation.

edit: tired of this. i own lots of guns and have never killed anybody. i had this same argument with somebody else yesterday over financial KYC: we do not fight crime by stripping law-abiding Americans of their freedoms and subjecting them to increased state control.

Well, anyway, this pro-gun stuff has nothing to do with piracy freedom. Piracy hurts some millionaire CEOs bank accounts, and guns literally kill people.
