Well, at least it's on topic here. You also posted in Firearms, which is
a technical echo - but by now you should have received a message there
telling you to take it to the RTKBA echo or here.

Quoting Dingell convinces no one. Prior to 1994, he was a member of the
NRA's Board of Directors. Yes, he's liberal, but he isn't opposed to our
side.
These quotes were brought up way back in 1994 by various talk-show hosts
(Liddy, Limbaugh, etc.) and really shouldn't be new to anyone here. Of
more use to us, though, was the support of the ACLU in our drive for the
hearings into abuses of power. The hearings seem to have fallen pretty
flat, but the presence in the coalition calling for hearings of the ACLU
and others speaks volumes.
