...making any real changes. There are a number of folks on both sides (Chuck is one) that posture as if this issue is a struggle between the good guys and the bad guys. Both sides characterize their fellows as the good guys and their opposition as the bad guys. This is all a sham. Many of the politicians and public figures use the RKBA issue for the attention they gain from it. They are all just media whores.

Chuck and Nancy, Wayne and Ted; four folks looking for donations to their causes for the actual purpose of staying employed. When was last time you saw any of these folks work toward a bipartisan goal resolving anything? They are the very antithesis of progress.
