…is “neo-Confederate“? Really?
Someone should explain a little history to Ms. Reid. It is gun control itself that is “neo-Confederate.” It was used in the South after Reconstruction to disarm blacks, the better to lynch them. In fact, it was the Klan’s favorite law.
Idiot.
I think of the pro-freedom, anti-statist side of the gun-control debate as being more “Neo-Whig” (using the terminology of the American Revolution) than “Neo-Confederate.”

We have tried almost unlimited guns in the United States and now it is time for gun control.

From Mr. Vanderbuilt’s website:
Here you will find powerful opinions that can change your world.
Here you will find more tedious bits of data demonstrating that the defining characteristic of modern progressivism is limitless and baseless self-regard.
“We have tried almost unlimited guns in the United States and now it is time for gun control.”
Because if there’s one gang we can trust with a monopoly on weaponry, it’s Der Staat!
What we need to try is a society without coercion. But “liberals” (i.e., tax-happy, coercion-addicted, State-fellating power-junkies) wouldn’t like that, because no coercion=no statism.
