The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has been pushing gun control and has opposed gun rights since 1967. It is not over the top to say their money has big influence of Congress too. I'm not just saying it, they proudly say it. http://www.adl.org/PresRele/Extremism_72/3401_72.asp

There is no more liberal anti gun view than the Harvard / Ivy League / NYC ADL crowd, most of which have never had a job that actually put dirt under their fingernails, and they have a big time "In" with the Obama administration.

Suggestion for cynics: Google the background on the "Obama Czars" and especially his Elena Kagan appointment to the Supreme Court. Most are Northeast USA, NYC, Harvard grads with Goldman Sachs somewhere on their resume, and who have no connection whatsoever with 99% of the USA.

I will predict if she is appointed/anointed as a justice on the Supreme Court that challenges to the 2nd Amendment will immediately be forthcoming and they will come in droves and there will be weakening of our rights. Our country is run by elitists from NYC, not by Americans and graduates that represent universities and Americans from all the 50 states.
