I think you are implying that the NRA is sponsoring paranoia. Since I am not a member and not privvy to its tactics, does that sponsorship extend to DU?

Actually, "gun rights" is a sloppy, sometimes mis-leading expression (like "assault weapon&quot . Do you mean the RKBA? If so, that right IS a foundational component of liberal philosophy. It may not jibe with some peoples' notion of " progressivism" (a latter-day outlook), but the right to self-defense, and the recognition of that right (and possession of weaponry to effect defense) is within the liberal tradition even before the founding of this country.
