Last November's elections show that. We must keep up the political pressure. Real soldiering is not fun. It is grueling, tedious grunt work interspersed with moments of abject terror and hideous destruction. Political campaigning is tiring, monotonous work interspersed with raucous parties and wild rallies.
Parties are more fun than devastation.
Last, the anti-gun factions have historically made progress by frightening the American public. We have entered an era when much of the security forces of the Federal Government are without a stated reason to exist. That is what happened at Waco. They are an easy target to malign. They are an easy target to make appear radical.
