"We cannot go backwards"

Says mayor DeBlasio on the lessening of gun banning measures in NY State.

Oh, we aren't, silly.  We are going forwards.  The 2013 gun control measures were a blip in history, and the momentum is toward liberty.  A minor setback.  If it wasn't thus, the gun bans then would have been much more sever and widespread.   If you didn't get MORE people on board with gun bans in 2013, you aren't going to get them now.  Good people want a chance to shoot back at the bad guys that always can get guns.  Our American culture still has that kind of confidence in itself.

People have more freedom on who they marry now, more freedom on what drugs they take without legal consequence, even Social Conservatives are onboard for making birth control pills OTC, and the people are certainly gaining freedoms on what was always a recognized and enumerated right to defend ourselves against outrage and deprivation, your 'honor'.

No, we are going forwards, Mayor.  And your side is losing.  And that is a good thing.  You are a dinosaur looking at the sky and cursing the approaching asteroid.   You'll feel better if you get used to this reality sooner rather than later.  But who are we kidding? You are still a commie 25 years after it all crumbled away into the ashcan of history.
