But WildBIll, where the "livelihood of industry workers" directly affects hundreds of thousands (millions?) of people directly-and-immediately, the loss of our freedoms is more subtlely felt, indeed many gun-grabbers don't get it at all, which is why I argue that they consider the direct impact on the [otherwise completely innocent] populace.

To them I say: [Stupidly,unthinkingly] revile the NRA all you want, but your friends, relatives, and neighbors would all be affected by even a partial shutdown of the firearms industry.

Well, didn't many mob bosses that got away with so much eventually get imprisoned for simply tax evasion? So, wouldn't it be ironic if BO were finally taken down by something like this? Okay, maybe not taken down, but still.

Could something like this be considered insider trading?
