Mark the date, it isnt gonna be long before moderate Republicans start going on television to push the notion that guns are hurting Republicans with independent voters and women. Just like abortion, just like the pro-lifers are hurting Republicans with independents. Just like immigration. The moderate linguine-spined Republicans, it isnt gonna be long as this controversy heats up, you know, they wilt with a little heat. It doesnt take the moderate Republicans long to slink away. They dont like having to stand up and defend what they believe. Theyd rather give away a core belief. Theyd rather annunciate something that would make them friends with their enemies."

This is about way more than guns. The kenayn will use this as a test EO.
There is are a lot other items on the marxist wet dream list that they can’t get through Congress. Barry would be happy to EO them but first he needs to measure how the courts and the GOP will respond.

Q. Can anything less than a military force carry the Stamp Act into execution?
A. I do not see how a military force can be applied to that purpose.
Q. Why may it not?
A. Suppose a military force sent into America; they will find nobody in arms; what are they then to do? They cannot force a man to take stamps who chooses to do without them. They will not find a rebellion; they may indeed make one.

If we do not retain our 2nd Amendment Rights, then all of the other Rights are just words written in ink on paper (or parchment) by “a bunch of old, dead, slave-owning white guys” which have no relevance in the modern world.
Which Right will disappear next? Or will the rest go one immediately after the other?
Domino Theory anyone?

My prediction - None of the legislation being discussed will ever make it the floor for a vote in either chamber. If you are a Democrat Senator from a flyover state, voting for an anti-2A bill is going to get you primaried faster than a pizza disappears at a Weight Watchers meeting.
Ultimately, I believe Obama will try to EO away ammunition. He will go through the EPA (lead), HHS (public safety) and/or Homeland Security (anti-terrorism.)

I am VERY pleased to see the action the state of Wyoming has taken... an absolute refusal to carry out the federales’ attempts to suppress 2A rights, including arrest of BATFE agents. Hopefully many others will follow suit.

If you care to read a few words out of that “little book”, as Piers Morgan described it, you will find the Constitution was written to form a government so that we might enjoy the blessings of liberty. That government was designed from the bottom up with limited powers in order to protect the rights that the Creator gives to all humans by right of birth, rights that exist outside of any government.
A free press is essential to preserve liberty and protect the country from a government run amok. This was seen the the famous reporting of Woodward and Burstein in the Watergate coverup. The right of free expression in speech, media and in internet commentary is so precious that it is my duty to preserve the First Amendment so that my grandchildren can fully exercise it should some future crisis necessitate it.
Similarly, just because I don’t need to fully exercise the pre-existing rights recognized in Second Amendment today doesn’t relieve me of the duty and obligation to pass those rights uninfringed and unencumbered to those same grandchildren just in case they must exercise them to protect their liberty.
The truth is that nobody can know what future crisis will give some future government an excuse to break free of the powers this same Constitution limits it to, nor how it may abuse the enumerated powers it has. So while I may not really need this style of rifle today anymore than I really need 30 pages of Husler Magazine. I am obligated to make sure my children and grandchildren can freely exercise their right to them or else I have not been a good citizen.

I am not sure what to make of this idea from the leftards...
History tells us that some people are designed to war, and to fight. Especially when they believe that there is an innocence or a right to protect. (Feminism hasn’t killed off all of the testosterone yet)
I saw a bumper sticker, on a big black SUV driven by 35 something male, the other day that both gave me chills and made me laugh out loud:
“The only bad thing about the Zombie Apocalypse is pretending like I am not excited”
I think Obama wants a war, and I really wonder if he knows that there seem to be people who would love to give it to him, personally.
Reading comments on news sites, people out in the open are reveling in the idea of killing him!
They must really believe it is just talk- or they really want this communism in a very big way.
I am afraid the democrats are going to push people too far. I really am.

And why not, America just reflected the Leftist President America has ever had, and considering Jimmy Carter, LbJ and a hand full of others, that's saying something.
Obama wasn't just elected by non-gun owners, though many of his voters had Saturday Nite Specials.

"The Left Is Convinced Americans Wont Fight For 2nd Amendment Rights.
... And its a safe bet neither Democrats nor RINOs will expect anything different from the majority of Americans this time around
as Feinstein and Company legislate last rites and a funeral for the Second Amendment.
We know what the Left believe.
Well soon find out if they are right."
I'm willing to be their [the left's] LIFE on it, that they're WRONG!
The United States Citizens KNOW that they're going to have to fight TYRANTS in their own government.
You cannot protect life, without the ability to take life.
While you are WAITING for the police to respond, someone could be losing their life.
All people of a responsible age should be armed.
As
EternalVigilance reminded us:
The Second Amendment IS Pro-Life.
"Among the natural rights of the Colonists are these: First, a right to life;
Secondly, to liberty;
Thirdly, to property;together with the right to support and defend them in the best manner they can.
These are evident branches of, rather than deductions from, the duty of self-preservation,commonly called the first law of nature...In short, it is the greatest absurdity to suppose it in the power of one, or any number of men, at the entering into society,
to renounce their essential natural rights, or the means of preserving those rights; when the grand end of civil government, from the very nature of its institution, is for the support, protection, and defence of those very rights;
the principal of which, as is before observed, are Life, Liberty, and Property.
If men, through fear, fraud, or mistake, should in terms renounce or give up any essential natural right, the eternal law of reason and the grand end of society would absolutely vacate such renunciation.
The right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty,it is not in the power of man to alienate this gift
and voluntarily become a slave."

Let us NEVER FORGET THAT !
Let's subjugate them to OUR end game, DUST!
"COMPROMISE" is
a DIRTY word!
People who study the Bible know that
COMPROMISE almost always leads to destruction.
It's time to mock the "Gun Control" Zombies!
"Gun Control" is
a firm grip, steady breathing, accurate aim (developed by lots of practice), and a slow trigger pull.
The Swiss have got it CORRECT !
We need to learn
from the Swiss and implement their
"gun control measures" here in the United States right now, today!
These laws are the ones we should shove into the
"2nd Amendment Haters" faces.
" Today, military service for Swiss males is universal. At about age 20, every Swiss male goes through 118 consecutive days of recruit training in the Rekrutenschule. ...
Even before required training begins, young men and women may take optional courses with the Swiss army's M57 assault rifle.
They keep that gun at home for three months and receive six half-day training sessions.
From age 21 to 32, a Swiss man serves as a "frontline" troop in the Auszug, and devotes three weeks a year (in eight of the 12 years) to continued training.
From age 33 to 42, he serves in the Landwehr (like America's National Guard); every few years, he reports for two-week training periods.
Finally, from ages 43, to 50, he serves in the Landsturm; in this period, he only spends 13 days total in "home guard courses."
Over a soldier's career he also spends scattered days on mandatory equipment inspections and required target practice.
Thus, in a 30-year mandatory military career, a Swiss man only spends about one year in direct military service.
Following discharge from the regular army, men serve on reserve status until age 50 (55 for officers).
By the Federal Constitution of 1874, military servicemen are given their first equipment, clothing and arms.
After the first training period, conscripts must keep gun, ammunition and equipment an ihrem Wohnort ("in their homes") until the end of their term of service.
Today, enlisted men are issued M57 AUTOMATIC assault rifles and officers are given pistol.
Each reservist is issued 24 rounds of ammunition in sealed packs for emergency use.(Contrary to Handgun Control's claim that "all ammunition must be accounted for," the emergency ammunition is the only ammo that requires accounting.)
After discharge from service, the man is given a bolt rifle free from registration or obligation.
Starting in the 1994, the government will GIVE ex-reservists assault rifles. Officers carry pistols rather than rifles and are given their pistols the end of their service.
When the government adopts a new infantry rifle, it sells the old ones to the public.
Reservists are encouraged to buy MILITARY ammunition(7.5 and 5.6mm-5.56 mm in other countries-for rifles and 9 and 7.65 mm Luger for pistols)
which is sold AT COST by the government, for target practice .
Non-military ammunition for long-gun hunting and .22 Long Rifle (LR) ammo are not subsidised, but are subiect to NO sales controls.
Non-military non-hunting ammunition more powerful than .22 LR (such as .38 Spl.) is registered at the time of sale.
Swiss military ammo must be registered IF bought at a private store, BUT NEED NOT BE REGISTERED IF bought at a range.
The nation's 3,000 shooting ranges sell the overwhelming majority of ammunition.
Technically, ammunition bought at the range must be used at the range, but the rule is barely known and almost never obeyed.
The army SELLS a variety of machine guns, submachine guns, anti-tank weapons, anti-aircraft guns, howitzers and cannons.
Purchasers of these weapons require an EASILY OBTAINED cantonal license, and the weapons are registered.
In a nation of six million people, there are at least two million guns, including 600,000 FULLY AUTOMATIC assault rifles, half a million pistols, and numerous machine guns.
Virtually every home has a gun.
Besides SUBSIDIZED military surplus, the Swiss can buy other firearms easily too.
While long guns require NO special purchase procedures, handguns are sold only to those with a Waffenerwerbsschien (purchase certificate) issued by a cantonal authority.
A certificate is issued to every applicant over 18 who is not a criminal or mentally infirm.
There are NO restrictions on the carrying of long guns.
About half the cantons have strict permit procedures for carrying handguns, and the other half have NO rules at all.
There is NO discernible difference in the crime rate between the cantons as a result of the different policies.
Thanks to a lawsuit brought by the Swiss gun lobby, semi-automatic rifles require NO PURCHASE PERMIT and are NOT registered by the government.
Thus, the ONLY long guns registered by the government are FULL AUTOMATICS."
The Swiss have got it CORRECT !
Let's adopt THEIR LAWS !
Remember:
The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they TRY to take it.
