I assume you know about the “prt scr” aka print screen. button.
I can wish he does.
The page you requested is not available right now.
As my Hero once said from my cold dead hands.
Yes but unfortunately I had not used it when I did a refresh... the laptop had bee on since yesterday and it was still open in the old version on a EE tab...
Has Obama become ashamed of his own agenda so much he won’t share it. The entire set of agenda pages won’t come up for me.
Probably a good idea, I would be ashamed if those were my ideas too.
This has been viral on the gun boards... someone may have a screen shot... maybe the NRA does...
That has been the way it works every since the first Bully took over the school yard. Unless good men do something about it that is the way things are going to continue.
This is a nightmare for America. Obama won’t listen to conservatives, but he will listen to the ACLU, who filed an amicus brief on at least one gun case because gun ownership was the cheapest form of self protection. I wish I knew how to find it.
Just joined NRA, GOA, 2nd Amendment Foundation.
Hubby is lifetime member of NRA also.
I think my kids might sign up also.
The pertinent part:
Address Gun Violence in Cities: As president, Barack Obama would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals who shouldn't have them. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent, as such weapons belong on foreign battlefields and not on our streets.
H.R. 1022: Assault Weapons Ban and Law Enforcement Protection Act of 2007
You have summed up the situation perfectly. While I’m sure President-Elect Obama would love to pass several gun bans, that simply will not happen.
The only reason the democrats have a majority in the house is because they ran a bunch of pro-gun and pro-life candidates in conservative leaning districts. Any move towards a revived assault weapons ban would be political suicide for the “Blue Dog” democrats and simply won’t happen.
While the Obama administration will probably do what it can administratively to harass gun owners, any legislation would get fierce opposition from the Republicans and the Blue Dogs in the Congress. It would go nowhere and cost Obama a lot of his political capital. Obama is many things, but he’s not an idiot and is not going to give the Republicans ammunition for the 2010 mid-term elections. He could lose the Senate and maybe the house over this.
This nation is a pro-gun nation and that is not going to change in the near future.
But I just had a freeper tell me all is well.
No need to snap up ammo. /s
I wonder what my two thirty round M-1 Carbine mags will be worth on the black market, and my eight twenty round Mini 14 mags. Between 1989 and 1991, those Mini-14 mags each cost about $10. I recently saw a Ruger P85/89 15 round mag for $50; I bought two in 1990 for about $8 each. However, I passed on buying two 30 rd Mini 14 mags for $15 each in 1989.
Bingo
BTW once you get you CHL, FFL’s no longer have to call in sales to you to the feds.
You just fill in a 4473 ant the POS and they file it there. at the local shop.
They will raid gun shops before they raid private citizens homes.
Going door-to-door is unlikely. They will hit one place, then another elsewhere in town, then come back later. Resisters will be dealt with violently and possibly WACO'd to provide examples of what happens to those who defy the state and cow all but the most ardent resister into submission.
Searches (they won't take an "I sold it" at face value) will destroy the homes and property of those who do not hand over arms, and anything of value will be looted as well.
Mark my words. This is an illegal and unConstitutional act.
