Democrats Divided On Gun Legislation

NPR ^ | May 14, 2009 | David Welna

[neverdem]

Coburn Amendment

Some rats got smart. What's with the GOP?

[MrB]

Unprecedented ammo and gun sales...

knowledge that this is a line in the sand...

equals timid gun grabbers.

[wastedyears]

What's with the GOP?

Temporary insanity

[ontap]

The republicans could do the same for immigration if they had the Cahonas.

[Squantos]

BTTT !

The last time that the RATs were aggressive against the 2nd Amendment was in 1993. Guess what happened in 1994?

I'm hopeful that they pull all the stops and go gonzo against the 2nd Amendment.

[STONEWALLS]

“Unprecedented ammo and gun sales...”

.....just stopped by Walmart to pick up some 9mm....all sold out with no idea when more will arrive...a notice on the ammo shelf says no more than 6 boxes per customer will be sold....I heard in Florida they have a 2 box limit.

....the Dems from areas where gun ownership is popular are scared to touch this...they know it is the kiss of death.

[MrB]

I haven’t seen a box of 9mm at Walmart since... October, maybe.

Lots of walmart employees are snagging the stuff as soon as it is unloaded then reselling it on the street for double.

“California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein says she’d also like to see the assault weapons ban restored but that the votes simply aren’t there in the Senate — and she blames the NRA.”

Its called a backbone and will to fight. I know when dealing w/ republicans on a daily basis its surprising to run into these types (true conservatives). I would only say ‘get used to it’ b/c more and more folks in fly over country are moving in that direction.

[Oldpuppymax]

Never underestimate the arrogance of the left. These people will overturn the 2nd amendment one day, whether by direct or indirect means. Our reaction will be what counts.

[TalonDJ]

Lots of walmart employees are snagging the stuff as soon as it is unloaded then reselling it on the street for double.

A lot of gun stores are slipping the walmart staff a few bucks on the side to let them know when the trucks come in. Then they show up and clean them out to resell in their store for twice the price. Other people are buying all they can and then selling it in online auctions and classifieds.

I renewed my membership last week. It’s very important to be a part of something that promotes individual rights against the onslaught of socialism. Individual gun ownership stands between you and tyranny! Join now if not a member! Even if you don’t own a gun, support the NRA!

And when a GOP-backed amendment came up this week on credit card legislation that would allow carrying concealed loaded weapons in national parks, 27 Democrats voted for it.

ABOUT FREAK'IN TIME that the pro-gun side starts attaching amendments to "must pass" legislation. The other side has only been doing that for a few decades.

So, now that our side has finally figured this out, when is some bright person going to slip in a repeal of Title 18, Section 922(o) into a piece of critical legislation? HMMMM?

[DTogo]

Tag-team with your like-minded friends and neighbors to make regular (and irregular) stops in Walmart and other stores to check inventory, and buy what you can for the group.

[Concho]

That is a good thought, but it is 110 miles to the closest Wally world from here.

[DTogo]

Got any friends who live closer?

[SampleMan]

Rat disagreement is not an IF, but a WHEN.

I am a life member and could not agree more with your advice. The NRA is all that stands between gun ownership and a totalitarian state.

[Concho]

They are looking out for number one. Employees are getting the stuff when they unload it off the truck. It doesnt make it to the counter.
