You're the funny one. 5 million dues paying hobbyists called the National Rifle Association took on the law enforcement trade associations (not the street cops) and a relatively small number of hard core gun control advocates. The NRA also cost Al Gore the election in 2000. You made a VERY BAD choice of example. The gun lobby is actually an example of the raw political power of hobbyists. Now I need qxygen, I am so breathless .Take a Poli- Sci class.

Recently the assault weapons ban expired despite the support of nearly every law enforcement organization in the US, demonstrations and lobbying by officers, letters, phone calls & emails from many hundreds of thousands of citizens and a promise by President Bu***o sign an extension. Congress didn't even consider it. I bring this up to point out the naive assertion that a few model railroaders will somehow pressure Congress to restrict a single company or industry from enjoying the rights to their legally held property since it may not appear to be in current commercial use. The sky is not falling. Data has not been offered to support anyone is killing the model train industry . As to the assertion that people are coordinating to attack anyone, that also is too funny.
