I would think that any self-described progressive would tie gun control (whatever that might entail) to repeal of the Patriot Act. The irony is that those who do want unfettered access to guns of any kind are the very people who voted in the administration that brought us said act. Contrary to the National Rifle Association's claim that we need the Second Amendment to arm the revolution, they want guns to put down a revolution.

Either way, I fear gun control will most likely be a lot of smoke and mirrors while massacres in America, in concert with an ever increasing police state, will continue.
