I don't think we have to worry unless the Libs “Jujutsu” the subject the way they did civil rights. Up until the 60’s, civil rights was about just that; Civil Rights. Then when the Lib Dems - especially JFK and Johnson - saw that they could add government expansion to the Acts, they became more about just that; government expansion. I don't see the Lib Dems turning around on their positions on guns and coming out with a “Arms Rights” Act with government expansion written in it. Who knows, they’re crazy enough to try, but I can't see it working.

I’ve been reading the history and considering what did happen 50 years ago.

JFK really wanted a go slow approach on the race issue to hold the Democrat Party together.

After the assassination, President Johnson used his experience as Senate Majority Leader to push the civil rights and welfare laws through Congress.

Bull Connor’s dogs and hoses were used with emotional effect to promote new civil rights laws just like school shootings get used to promote gun control.
