"... I hear this slippery slope crap all the time, enough already.
A, ‘Slippery Slope’, is a phrase that is most known for it’s relationship to firearms/laws/freedom.
Yet, ‘Slippery Slope’, Can and Has Been,
very successful,
in many other applications.
Now here is the the reason it is called, ‘Slippery Slope’.
Ever Been on one ? Ever Slid down one ?
Once you start, it is very hard to stop,
Very Hard.
So the term, ‘Slippery Slope’,
applying to gun laws.
A Liberal, pushes a Conservative,
To the ‘Slippery Slope’, and then they will
’Slide’ down rapidly.
Right down to the bottom, where the Liberal want’s them.
And that is accomplished with terms like:
‘Common Sense Gun Laws’
So when the Ultra-Librals, believe they have DUPED enough people.
With Their term, ‘Common Sense Gun Laws’,
Which WILL, Contain absolutely Draconian BAN ‘rules’.
If any one questions it, the Ultra-Liberls will Champion it,
calling it, ‘Common Sense Gun Laws’,
and add,
‘Just Pass it, and read it later”. (Because they KNOW, that Line Works)Just a tidbit for those that Don't know.
When Clinton First wrote the,
‘Common Sense Gun Law’
BANNING AR-15 and variants.
The First Bills, ALSO, Completely BANNED,
a 2 barrel Shotgun, with One trigger.
AND, ALL, Semi-Auto Shotguns.
But ya know, a ‘lobby’, stepped in,
and they had people that were firearm knowledgeable.
They, ‘Caught’, those ’ ‘Slippery Slope’ laws.
Just like a bunch of, ‘Excavator Business’,
Hired a, ‘Lobby’, so that a, ‘Mound’ system was required.
A mound system cost a homeowner 4 times more,
and it cost the Excavator Less than a ‘old style’ system to install.
(mound system treats backwater) So perhaps now, some may understand,
slippery slope, is NOT, crap
no it's crap. you like to believe it because it peaks those fear receptors in your brain releasing adrenaline and other endorphins that make you excited and happy.
There is a STRONG middle ground, but only the extreme sides have megaphones. And the more sensational something is, the more attention it gets, by YOU, by ME, by everyone, and did Clinton sign the revised bill?? I think he did.. so he wasn't hard nosed and uncompromising was he? meanwhile, many PRO GUN NUTS, are hard nosed and uncompromising. They are by their NATURE, paranoid lil sh!ts.
