Our biggest fear is because of the power of the gun lobby in Canada, we are going to see gun control dismantled.

It would be like a shooting outside Macy's. It was so public, most of the victims were bystanders and that of course makes people much more fearful than with other forms of crime. It's not to minimize the importance, but it's not that common.

In general we have to be very attentive to the fact that hunting rifles and shotguns in the wrong hands are as lethal or more lethal than the handguns that seem to be attracting all of the attention lately.

I'm just so exhausted that it's hard to be jubilant.

And that has significant implications for the unfolding of all this.

Since the 2004 election and the advent of 'values voters,' the abortion lobby has redefined, but not changed, its goal.
