[QUOTE="DS-11B, post: 1873947, member: 19627"] NY Times is useful for SOME things, just not American politics. The primary audience they attract wants an anti-conservative tone to it. Other areas of the paper are pretty good though. International Politics stuff is good. They are one of the best papers for news on China for example. Fortunately the United States is a representative democracy with a federal system where states and federal govts have different powers and can balance against each other as well as separation of powers at the federal level. McDonald vs. Chicago decision by the supreme court pretty much destroyed a lot of future firearms legislation. Also, beings that it is not a direct democracy, New York, Chicago, Massachusetts, NJ and California can be as crazy as they want about gun laws and it has absolutely no effect on us. In general though we are really seeing a roll back of gun legislation across the board and popularity for gun laws is waning. The gun has reestablished its legacy in American culture and I don't see it going anywhere anytime soon. Especially with so many people (however mistaken they might be) thinking that some sort of "collapse" is imminent. That, plus the history of gun culture we have, plus the contempt for the 94 AWB, combined with the power of the NRA, people REALLY need to stop worrying about something happening and STOP letting Firearm dealers manipulate them. Its so ironic that people see them as the good guys when in reality they are perpetuating a large portion of all of this fear. Its ridiculous that regular people will listen irrationally to the guy trying to freak them out to make a buck off them. Its like if someone said "Hey you need to buy my water because all the water is going to dry up soon." Rather than laugh in their face like they would with that, with guns, they say "ok how much do you want? I don't care about the cost." It would be a smart business move if it wasn't so unethical... I literally had a gun dealer the other day try to refuse to sell me a part I needed to build a new AR the other day because he was debating whether or not he wanted to pull ALL of his components and just wait until after the election to sell them so he could jack up the prices. These are a prime example of wolves in sheep's clothing... [/QUOTE]
