For the most part gun control legislation is dead for the foreseeable future. While the nation was watching the horrific events happening in Boston the U.S. Senate failed to pass anything. President Obama was quick to hold a press conference but it was more like a public temper tantrum, hardly anyone noticed.
Could it be that because while he was holding this press conference Boston was in lock down? I have a few friends that live in Watertown and I know they were locked and loaded. Protecting family members should this guy have tried to get in their house. He was captured only a hundred yards down the road. Watertown is much like Cambridge in the sense that they pretend that the bubble they live in will never burst, a "safe haven" if you will. I predict guns sales in Watertown will skyrocket in the coming months.
It's noticeably absent from the news media what kind of guns these two radicals extremist were carrying. I know they had at least two hand guns and a rifle. What kind of rifle? I guess that's not important enough for us to know. In other words, it wasn't an assault rifle. In any case neither terrorist was licensed to have any of the weapons or bombs. Imagine that! How could that be, don't we have laws? This is exactly why people like me feel that restricting free people's rights only limits what law abiding citizens can do, not terrorists or criminals and we are right.
Correctly, our rights should not be subject to public opinion and enough Senators understand that. The rest will have to answer to the voters in their states. Unfortunately for Massachusetts voters our two senators voted in lock step with Diane Feinstein. Two more useful idiots.
This is what bothers me the most. While many people celebrate the defeat of that bastardization of law, they fail to recall that 45% of the communist bastards supported it (along with vaguely similar public support), and that is 45% too much. 50 years ago, that would have been 20%. 150 years ago and there would have been a rope swinging from a tree and the one guy who proposed such legislation would be hanging from it. It’s only a matter of time and that troubles me deeply.
Times have really changed, and the media is 100% against the 2nd Amendment and in 0scumbag’s pocket. They’re going to get this done, one way or another. CWII is a distinct event.
gun control is far from dead. It can be killed but it will require time and constant vigilance. Keep on birthing brand new assault rifles, paying attention, staying in touch with your represenatives, supporting the NRA, GOA, and pro gun politicians, and TAKE SOME KIDS TO THE RANGE WITH YOU AND GET THEM INTERESTED IN SHOOTING.
And 4 CO Dems are now being recalled.
I knew one form Colorado Springs was being recalled but have not heard bout the other three. Time to recall Chickenpooper also.
Those who believe we can keep electing Democrats, and avoid gun control are sadly mistaken.
“There is, however, nothing stopping Der Fuehrer from issuing some executive orders....”
Exactly! Obummer is toying with a comprehensive import ban on not only guns but ammo, parts, or anything gun related.
Bush Sr. did it in 1989, Clinton did it in 1994. The Commerce Department is part of the executive branch & the Prezz’s to do with as he pleases.
A quote from Bertolt Brecht comes to mind:
Do not rejoice in his defeat, you men.
For though the bastard is dead,
the bitch that bore him is again in heat.
***It’s noticeably absent from the news media what kind of guns these two radicals extremist were carrying.***
Precisely what I have been saying for the last few days. A news blackout on the types of firearms they were using.
Ordinarily the police come out and give the press a photo op with the seized firearms, call for new gun control laws, but in this case....nada.
Massachusetts’ nasty firearms laws were pushed through under the watchful eye of the left of Rino Mitt Romney, and he signed off on them.
Colorado was supposed to be a test case so that the Bambi Muzzie could point to Kolorado, and see, a western state has done this, and what they have done is good for the whole country. The Leftist legislature/gov in Kolorado listened to the dictation coming from DC on how to write the legislation.
FAIL...FAIL...FAIL...and if gun-grabber Mitt were POTUS today, we might have been ‘blessed’ /s with serious gun control legislation...
