Although the NRA and I have certainly had our disagreements over the years, I hope that we can agree that the gun violence prevention debate should be based upon an open and honest exchange of ideas, not on underhanded tactics.

Sen. Frank Lautenberg

In a letter to John Sigler, the president of the NRA in regards to an alleged informant, allegedly paid by the NRA, who allegedly infiltrated various gun control groups.
[Isn't that a hoot! Notice that Lautenberg does not say he would ever be "open and honest" or avoid "underhanded tactics". Just that "we can agree" it should be based upon that. Does anyone remember how the infamous Lautenberg Amendment got passed? That's just one very small example of their tactics. Lautenberg's statement reminds me of the old white man, crying like a baby, in this post of mine.
