"As our midterm election season approaches, the traditional, hard-left, anti-gun stance of the Democrat Party is being ruthlessly enforced upon all Democrat candidates."

Humans never choose evil over good. Sen. Schumer and his ilk rationalize that they are doing good by protecting the "lesser people", who lack the wisdom to realize what dangers they place themselves in by the exercise of their liberty, or the inherent rights that are so distressing to such control freaks.
As a nation, we had a previous experience with such sanctimonious, self-appointed guardians of all that American society should be, from their superior viewpoint. We endured 13 years of Prohibition, which totally corrupted our society, because a group of self-appointed elite social thinkers had a vision of a "safe, sober society".

CPL Sean Grogan - Thank you for those kind words. I don't think I come close to C. S. Lewis's observation on the "do-gooders" we have to deal with. What did you think of his quote?

CW3 Harvey K. Do not forget that Prohibition is what also spawned the Democrat abomination called the National Firearms Act of 1934.

SSG Robert Webster - "Indeed, my lord, it followed hard upon." The lawless violence spawned by Prohibition did indeed lead to the rather late NFA as a Democrat "solution" to the problem they themselves caused.
Then they made narcotics illegal, perhaps to replace the cash-cow of bootleg booze to appease organized crime. The result, another black market with the same sort of violence, and the same "solution" offered by the gun-grabbers to solve the problem they themselves have caused.
( Missed seeing your posts. Hope you are well.)

CW3 Harvey K. - C.S. Lewis, speaking to 'do-gooders' knew that this cancer in society has been plaguing human-kind and will continue to be a blight on society. An ever growing blight if left unchecked. I think it is clear he understood that the force of tyranny under arms would be less likely used and that the soft approach of comfort, care, and safety would allow for tyranny to be draped upon society like an iron shawl in winter. He was right! We allow others to decide what is right for us without thinking things through. We give up so much to 'make us safe' that in the end we welcome our own demise. I know this may come off as dark, but it is a fact.
"Do-gooders" today, in common vernacular, in my humble opinion, translates to 'social justice warriors'.
I think Thoreau was much more subtle, "If I knew for a certainty that a man was coming to my house with the conscious design of doing me good, I should run for my life." Thoreau, Henry D., (1854), Walden

Yep. Just helping out all us of lesser intelligence. It's a burden the self-declared "better people" have taken upon themselves.
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. Their very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be ‘cured’ against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals."
—C. S. Lewis, “God in the Dock”
