“Newtown was, to sort of use that old cliche, the straw that that broke the camel’s back,” Biden said, according to the Arizona Republic. “There was a fundamental change, in my opinion, in public attitudes about guns. It wasn’t marginal — it was real.”

If Biden and McCain had any interest in the truth, they would look at the number of background checks per month (pushing 3 million) and the levels of firearms and ammo sales. The "fundamental change" is that, while we still value the Second Amendment, we no longer trust the ruling class elite to respect the rule of law. We're getting a lifetime supply of guns and ammo, and few armed Americans would pay 2-10 times the previous rates for ARs and for ammo if they were willing to then give them away in a forced buyback or official confiscation. I really don't want another civil war. Unfortunately, McCain is siding with Biden, Obama, Schummer, Pelosi, Reid, and others who are willing to force that option on us.

To put this into simple reasoning.....two hundred-ninety-nine million-nine-hundred-and ninety-seven thousand Americans (and illegals) are obeying not only federal, state and local law, but also any words handed down by the Almighty. That’s an enormous number of people who control themselves, their weapons, and don’t need anymore laws written.

So we basically need a law which covers roughly three thousand Americans (and illegals). You’d think after a while....that roughly seven-hundred folks die from swimming, boating, or water-related deaths each year, and we’d want to fix this problem too. But it’s not a priority.

You’d think after a while....that roughly seven-hundred folks die from blunt object situations (hammers, bats, 2x4 lumber) each year. We ought to have some reasoning to fight this statistic, but it’s not a priority.

So we’ve become a ‘Hollywood-nation’, which jumps off at the theater, gets hyper over some great theater show, and two weeks later figure out that half of the show was drama-acting and not much to get the nation into a uproar.
