The left is using every ploy they can find to destroy the 2nd Amendment and take firearms away from law-abiding American citizens.

The liberal DAs also drop weapons/gun charges they demanded be put on the books, all the time.

A lawsuit isn’t an amendment to the Constitution.

Mexico had their chance to indict and extradite the ATF agents and their superiors during the Fast & Furious hearings… but wasted that opportunity.

And this nonsense will eventually be stopped. The only question is how far it will progress before being dismissed.

Soon slimy lawyers will be suing Ford/GM/Toyota for drunk driving fatalities.

Even when states muster the political will to enact reasonable restrictions, for example as California did recently, they get blocked in federal court.

It's not the federal courts fool, it's the US constitution blocking your illegal gun grabs. Go a head, waste your donors money I'm sure you are pocketing most of it.

I am awaiting the joyous headlines that greet the Cartels’ turning in their guns at the border.

Maybe they should demand Eric Holder’s extradition.

That’d be a hoot.

Russian gun makers would be happy to not have American competition.

Russian President Putin would be happy to not have American gun makers.

“Whether you measure in blood or treasure, the IED also proved the costliest feature of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan for American forces. 60 percent of all American fatalities in Iraq and half of all American fatalities in Afghanistan, more than 3,500 in total, were caused by IEDs. The same proportion holds for Americans who were wounded, totaling more than 30,000 service members.”

“Among the insurgent’s standard complement of arms — bullets, mortars, grenades — the IED provides unique advantages. The IED, after all, is a weapon that waits. It does not require the insurgent to expose himself to employ it, balancing risk in favor of the bomber.”

What do you do?

I make gun parts. I used to work for X, but they were sued out of business. Life goes on.

You don’t happen to make extra parts the ATF doesn’t know about and can’t track?

My son died, let me see, in I think, no....

“U.S. gun laws are broken....”
The gun laws are working the way the democrats wanted them to work.

“Today we begin to disarm the criminal and the careless and the insane. All of our people who are deeply concerned in this country about law and order should hail this day.”-— Lyndon Johnson signing the 1968 gun control act into law.

And Thomas J. Dodd, who wrote the 1968 gun control act using the 1938 Nazi weapons law as a pattern...

“No one can predict how many lives will be spared because of this bill, but, if the bloody record of our yesterdays is any measure, millions of future Americans will live to enjoy the promise of many peaceful tomorrows.

I am grateful to have had the opportunity to play a part in this great moment in our time.”— Thomas J. Dodd on passage of the 1968 Gun control act.

****

No wonder that in 1941, just days before the Pearl Harbor attack, Congress reaffirmed Second Amendment rights and prohibited gun registration. In 1968, bills to register guns were debated, with opponents recalling the Nazi experience and supporters denying that the Nazis ever used registration records to confiscate guns. The bills were defeated, as every such proposal has been ever since, including recent “universal background check” bills.

The lies we have been told over the years...

1962 We ONLY want to register handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
1964, We ONLY want to register ALL firearms, not ban them.

1968 We ONLY want to register all guns, and ban the import of foreign Saturday Night Specials, and 5-shot bolt action army surplus rifles! (they got the ban).

1970, We ONLY want to ban small American handguns. Rifles will not be affected!

1976 We ONLY want to ban ALL handguns! Rifles will not be affected!

1981, Actress Lee Grant on Good Morning America (ABC) screams...”THE NRA IS A RIFLE ORGANIZATION! THEY SHOULD GIVE UP THEIR HANDGUNS AND THEY CAN KEEP THEIR RIFLES!”

1984, they came for the rifles.

1994..When they thought they had banned “As-s-s-ault rifles they did not shut off the lights and go home. they immediately went after their next target, .50 cal single shot rifles “THAT CAN TAKE DOWN AN AIRPLANE!”

They will never be satisfied till they have an unarmed population.

Only 3 countries in the world protect the right to bear arms in their constitutions: the US, Mexico, and Guatemala
