All the outrage I've seen on this thread is a day late and a dollar short, I'm afraid. The whole "assault weapons are evil" mindset has become burned into our national psyche, and at this point, I don't know if there is anything that can be done to dislodge it. Even within the RKBA community, many "purists" (aka those who say "you don't need an 'assault rifle' to go deer hunting", or "as long as they don't come for my Winchester '93 .30-30, I don't care what they do") refuse to stand beside those of us who realize what's happening.
How many will show up on Lexington Green this time? We're losing the "soft war", as Fred from Fred's Stocks calls it, and I'm not sure how many of us will have the cajones to fight the "hard war" to come.
Buy ammo now, while you can, folks.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
He's more fun to listen to than O'Reilley. Almost as fun as Savage or Ingram.
And we know the border crossing isn't much of a challenge either.
Socialists all. Let their constituents vote on a referendum (politician free vote), then compel them to represent their constiuents or be impeached.
Did anyone else catch this!?
Yes, I did. I was watching Dick Cheney as the chaplain said that,
and I swear that I saw Cheney sort of wince .....
I heard about it earlier.
"I heard about it earlier."
Thanks. That confirms it was said at least three times.
(All eyes on George W. Bush.)
And the Kofi pot.
To: snopercodAs soon as the wall came down, the 3rd way were out in force like flies on spilled ice cream. It's amazing how fast we went from Reagan's hard core conservatism to tepidness and globalony PC garbage.

Funny, the boiler-plate letter I received from KBH regarding the AWB did not state whether she would support or oppose it, merely that she would take my comments into consideration.
Whoops ! Whatever the phrase, Cheney did react as I said. Sorry.
New World Order any way you look at it.
Global is the scope they have in mind. Most Americans can't see beyond their city limits so they aren't concerned.
bump !
I didn't watch but that is scary!
