2. The opponent is large and rich...

This is why we get nowhere...our politicians are bought and sold...

3. Just a quick glance at the list and J.C. Higgins caught my eye.

Quick Wikipedia search tells me that they have been gone since 1962 and it was only an in house brand for Sears-Roebuck and the guns were made by others. Makes me wonder about the accuracy of the list, though I suspect it should be longer.

4. Addenda.
