The safe ones are in anti gun districts. The ones at risk are those from pro gun constituencies and those are the ones to hammer on from now til 2012.
Except in AK and VT. Last year WY considered but rejected such a measure. Obama’s presence might tip them over the edge. And we can hope about MT, TX, ID and maybe some others. CO is unfortunately a true-blue state now; no hope here.
They're too busy having a hissy fit over the Conservatives in the party, so they're shooting themselves in the foot for spite.
I almost wish that we could leave them so that they would see exactly how few they are. We are their base, and they hate us. Go figure.

Notice the byline of this story; David Welna of National Public Radio. A big part of the Leftwing pro-DNC press.
The article once again makes it seem like it’s the will of the people versus the evil NRA, AKA the gun lobby.
Notice how the story quotes the Brady-ite “Paul Helmke of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence...” while the NRA-er “NRA spokesperson Rachel Parsons counters...”.
Subtle but important wording that attempts to dehumanize the NRA position and make it seem overly aggresive.
How is it the the NPR can continue to exist when they are so dismissive of the greater half of the country that actually pays they way?
The greater threat is not the NRA but the NPR. Now there’s a lobby!
Thanks for the ping!
I love that map. Absolute proof that “incrementalism” works.
Progressing quite nicely too.
That's debatable. Alaska has joined Vermont on the the right to concealed carry. One house of Wyoming's legislature voted to do the same. The 9th Circuit just incorporated the Second Amendment as an individual right. Paying fees for a right seems quite suspect. Remember when states had poll taxes?
OUTSTANDING graphic in post #35, neverdem. Thanks.
Well there's six senate seats, maybe. So you're at most 20% of the way to being right.
The 9th Circuit just incorporated the Second Amendment as an individual right.
If a treaty passes, it won't matter.

We all agree on where this should go. My point is that the architecture to enforce tyranny is in place and we should fight like hell to get it lifted. Remember FIST? If Holder gets his way, it will soon be worse.
For far too long the gun grabbers have acted with impunity. They OUGHT to be afraid.
