Making activists unhappy as a rule of thumb for political actions isn't exactly the right thing. If it's a group opposing child sex slavery, I should think you wouldn't mind if they were as happy as pigs in mud. Unless, of course, they go after offenders with vigilante justice rather than the real kind. But this is the way activist groups gone amok tend to have gone awry to begin with.

Activists will often call attention to things that we, the general public, only recognize later as problems. This is because they are inordinately focused on a single issue. Lack of balance doesn't always make one wrong.

For any new readers out there, I don't particularly like the NRA's leadership, but the members I know are a good bunch of people -- well, a good collection of individuals. I don't think that gun ownership should be outlawed or restricted any more than it already is, with the exception of these bozos.
