If they can’t do it honest and legal they’ll do it dishonest and illegal.

So where is their list of wins?

[sauropod]

Shannon Watts sounds like a real winner.

[exnavy]

Shannon should choose Cuba.

[Vaduz]

Chicago gives finger to Watts.

Leftists are anti-constitution totalitarians at heart. They end up eliminating anyone with whom they disagree every time.

Enjoy your authoritarian state, America.

A) She is on the losing side of public opinion, especially trending public opinion.

B) Gun owners are perfectly happy to contribute heavily to political action on the issue.

C) Gun owners are organized, vocal, and focused, much to the consternation of the elites :)

I agree completely with Shannon. More gun control is needed.

That’s why I spend time at the range; learning how to control my gun. Practice makes perfect. One can never have too much gun control.

This is the mindset of my own mother. Extremely liberal and adores Obama. When there is something she doesn’t like her reaction is “someone should make that illegal.” Or one day, I brought up the name Rush Limbaugh and she said he should be arrested for opening his mouth despite NEVER listening to anything he said. But what can you expect from a liberal whose only source of news is The View.

In other words, they plan on using the election fraud machine of America's indigenous urban peoples to pass anti-gun initiatives at the state level.

The hallmark of the fraud machine of America's indigenous urban peoples is that black voting precincts wait until all the results from other precincts are in to gauge how many fraudulent votes they need to inject to win.

And when the state legislatures rebuff Moms Demand Action, Watts made clear that her group will try to bypass them, as well, via ballot initiatives like Washington state’s I-594.

IMO, those who mock them here are in a state of denial. Using the same tactics used in Washington, they will win - again and again.

Reasoned arguments will not work. All the majority of the voters hear, and believe, is the "gunshow loophole" and "it will make you safer" lies. "How the Hell can you be against checking if a gun buyer is a nutter or a criminal?" they will ask, and turn a deaf ear to any further argument against it. Even when apprised of the backdoor registration angle, most who are not gun owners don't give a crap about it.

I've been pounding this drum ever since I-594 went through - all of us have got to badger GOA, NRA and the whole alphabetical list of pro-gun organizations to pressure our legislators to pass a law allowing non-FFL citizens access to NICS to perform our own background checks without the 4473 connection. If that is done, and we promote that kind of background check, it will cut the antis off at the knees.

Defensive arguments, after-the-fact lawsuits, or counter initiatives that do not include some kind of BC are doomed to failure for the reasons mentioned above.

Weeks ago I wrote the GOA, the NRA, and the major gun orgs in the targeted states - Nevada, Oregon and Arizona proposing this.

To date I have heard only from the folks in AZ and NV vowing to fight this initiative tactic tooth and nail - but nothing about our own version of a BC. It is my firm belief that if we don't, the 4473-type of BC will spread rapidly and the antis' wet dream of a national gun registration will become a reality - soon followed by piecemeal confiscations as done in New York.

Shannon, like her dream lover Obola, is playing a live-aqction role-playing game pretending to be Hugo Chavez.
