I consider myself an advocate for individual freedom against a repressive government. But to the New York Times, the repressors are the "advocates" and those that love freedom are part of the "lobby". (emphasis mine)

Congress snarled itself into a frenzy of election-year politicking and bare-knuckle pressure from a gun lobby aided by President Bush [...]

Lawmakers whose votes against the bill were dictated by the National Rifle Association's display of raw power deserve no praise.

Democratic gun control advocates drew enough support from moderate Republicans to add those riders to the immunity bill despite Republicans' dominance of the chamber and the president's urging "no" votes. But once this level of compromise was achieved, the gun lobby flinched, putting out the word to kill the bill.

Gun grabbers are spending millions of dollars to seize freedom from Americans, but we're the ones who are considered a lobby.
