TRT bang!

[MagnusMaximus1]

RKBA bump!

[Travis McGee]

I'm still waiting for a well-timed Columbine, right before the election.

[TC Rider]

Is that all they've got?

I feel more confident every day that the AWB will sunset in September.

Soon, there just won't be time for the process.

Congress recesses in August, plus the Dem convention costs them another week.

Barring a huge Columbine type incident, it's just not in the cards for the Dems to stick there necks out on this.

[coloradan]

... or right before consideration of the AWB renewal.

Do you suppose we could kill the AWB renewal with a bunch of poison pill amendments, like nationwide Vermont carry, repeal of NFA 34 (machine guns yes, AWs no), gun industry immunity, Brady sunset, etc. ?

[HarleyD]

I've long ago lost my respect for the Bradys. This doesn't surprise me.

[Lijahsbubbe]

Katie Braun is an evil little troll.

[King Prout]

It occurs to me that we might be able to use statistical analysis of precursors to predict the general location, timing, and scale of the rampage we both expect.

precursors of some prior rampages include concentrated publicity of "gun violence" and media coverage of "gun control" fights.
There may be others.
I have not done a study, but the data for one is almost certainly available.

[MagnusMaximus1]

Given the increasing coverage of "gun related" murders by the lamestream media recently, I wouldn't be surprised if either real "terrorists", other criminals or genuine nutcases instigate a Columbine type incident between now and November 2nd.

[demkicker]

I didn't see the clip, but was under the impression that Jim Brady isn't "all there". Are his mental faculties intact, or is Sarah parading him around like a prop for her anti-gun rhetoric?

[Lijahsbubbe]

I saw this one coming when one of the lamestream news channels had Brady on the other nite giving his remembrance of President Reagan.

The whores never miss an opportunity.

[AngryJawa]

Gee. I don't recall President Reagan getting shot with a high capacity automatic rifle with a flash supressor, folding stock, and bayonet lug. He was shot by a mental case who, after being locked up for 20 some odd years, just recently got sprung from the looney bin.

Yep. Very logical.

[imintrouble]

Anything - I mean ANYTHING with Couric in it - I cannot stomach.

Even her "eastern snarl" or whatever she seems to think is cool sets me on edge and I have to slide away from that channel (which I rarely have on anyway). I think she is too stupid to worry about such flagrant crudity of horning in on the traditional farewells.

I feel badly about the Brady family and admire their courage in getting an issue in front of the public but:

NOT THIS WEEK PLEASE!



Let Reagan have his deserved goodbye with those who loved him.

[TigersEye]

Just say "No" to gun control.

Before the election? Don't you mean before Sept.13th? (the sunset date.)

[Blood of Tyrants]

Don't get too complacent. They sneaked the 1986 MG ban in the middle of a gazillion page spending bill and I guarantee you that they plan on doing the EXACT same thing this time.

[Gefreiter]

And was Hinckley's weapon registered? Was he licensed to possess, transport, or carry it? Had he ever taken an NRA-sponsored safety program?

I kinda doubt it.

[rhombus]

It's impossible that Reagan was shot. Handguns are illegal in DC. :-)
