I think that most here would be quite satisfied if that did happen. A bit more “mud on the face” of the Pravda—and demons.

If this atrocity had been committed in January 2010...Who knows what they might have shoved through? If in late October/early November 2010....I don't even want to think about it. But as it is, with the failure of their meme plus the loss of their supermajority, I think any anti First Amendment/anti Second amendment bills will go to committee 'for further study" and be quietly shelved.
But it does behoove us to watch them closely, and to protest the current proposed measures and any subsequent ones vociferously. Let them know that no, we WON'T sit down, shut up, pay our taxes and vote as they tell us to.
The sickening thing is, it worked. And Amerika frighteningly resembles Germany during that time. They were in an economic/financial upheaval, their moral fiber was gone and their people (public opinion) were completely controlled by the Reich Media Propaganda machine.
So, who the hell do you think you are newbie/Troll? Some kind of opinion police? The poster of this thread is spot on and has a valid point. Which is well above and beyond your track record on this forum.
The vitriol from the Left, that started immediately after the massacre, was to be expected. This will backfire on them. The hypocrisy of the leftists' alertist rantings alone will nullify it amongst the normal thinking peoples of America (i.e. those who changed the face of the House of Reps in November). Only the stalwart supporters on the left will except the diatribe we've heard spewed forth from liberal media. This will pass, just like gall stones or kidney stones...but nonetheless, pass.

Woah, relax man. I didn’t say his opinion was invalid, just that his way of expressing it hindered clarity. If anything I’m a grammar nazi, not the opinion police.
As far as my disagreements, I think he (and possibly you) are overreacting to the Tucson shooting. It’s not the Reichstag Fire, it’s not going to have any kind of lasting impact. A crazy guy shot a politician, that’s something that hasn’t happened in America in a generation, and hasn’t happened since the advent of the “24-hour news cycle” or the internet.
You just watch, I bet the only thing that comes of this is both sides pay lip-service to toning down “vitriol” while being savagely vitriolic towards each other, and maybe Congresspeople get a security budget, but I doubt that.
So far....it looks like my 1st scenario is not going to come to pass..praise the Lord!! The second my not either, unfortuantely...but that third scenario someone else mentioned—where the msm just “burns itself out” on the constant drumbeat—and is rebutted by our side, and such—and the truth is then obvious—resulting in some people”opening their eyes” may just be coming to pass.
And no “bad bills” getting passed either, just “withering on the vine”.
I would be satisfied with that one!!
