” There are millions of would be despots waiting in line for the day guns are outlawed.”
“I can think of one...Hillary.”
And Obama is even more stridently anti-second amendment. I wonder if people will rally like they’ve done in the recent past and think of their gun rights on election day?
I think Fred Thompson paired with someone (Ron Paul?) could take them down because he’s also popular with independents and a lot of dems, too. Paul could pick up the libertarians. I’ve heard from fence-sitters that they fear losing their RKBA and are putting aside a lot of the other issues that would normally energize them.
Imagine this scenario: SCOTUS rules DC ban unconstitutional (but for a convoluted reason, not citizen rights), then Hillary/Obama run for the White House minimizing any gun control efforts, citing the recent SCOTUS decision.
Gun owners stay home....Hillary/Obama get elected...the new President sends her Attorney General out to find 'loopholes' that need to be closed in existing gun laws.
Oh, she’s certainly more stridently so.
She’s just smart enough to not hint at it until her time to act has come.
