I don't like how you pieced that reply together and I don't much like how you admitted you may have been unclear in your original criticisms of politicians after five giant paragraphs. The ENTIRE purpose of my original replies were in that you were misplacing blame.

You can't blame the politician for doing what the public or the Lobbyist groups tell them to, because as you've stated it yourself, they're being funded & supported by them. They exist politically solely because of them. That's basically the point I've been illustrating from the start--the politicians are puppets for the public, and to blame the public and what influences the lobbyists/public instead of the politicians. While I agree it's somewhat ridiculous to push for something you know little to nothing about, that doesn't change the fact that they're in the public eye ONLY to represent another entity or group.

This post has turned into a bit of a text-wall, but I genuinely hope you'll read it all, and that it will clarify what I meant a bit. Hopefully it will at least make it clear that there is really no parallel between my views and this "fuck tha police" business. I also hope that you, too, find it at least a little disturbing that we have politicians who can be told "ban these things and we'll support your campaign" and will actually try to do it without even bothering to find out what they're being asked to ban. You may not care about barrel shrouds in particular, but it's not like these politicians have some strict personal conviction that legislating from ignorance is only okay for gun laws, and not for any other type of laws.
I don't feel disturbed that we have politicians who act as puppets, as this has been going on since the conception of government. It's scummy, granted, but it's reality and is a large part of how government works if not on such an obvious scale as the example you posted. If anything, you and me both should place our concern into the public's interest.

I will concede that after your elaboration, you don't share the same "f da p" mentality as mentioned earlier.
