    I have to wonder how much of the “criminals have easy access to guns” rhetoric is actually cooked up by the gun lobby, because the subtext feels like “so shouldn’t you, too?” I’m also seeing a fair bit of noise about Castle Doctrine around the place and it all just feels astroturfed.

      Especially after the recent Sovereign Cooker situation in Porepunkah, you would think that they would pull their heads in.

      Unfortunately, they have already invested in their Astroturfing advertising campaign and unlike “honest” advertising campaigns, you can’t just pull it for a more opportune time.
