Unprecedented ammo and gun sales...

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

equals timid gun grabbers.

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

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.

“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.

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.

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?

Rat disagreement is not an IF, but a WHEN.

'Oh, you gotta watch out for big oil, big labor.' I found it was big guns, and that's just a fact of life here."

It's not "Big Guns" it's over 4 Million members, plus a whole bunch more who follow what the NRA has to say, even if they aren't dues paying members. Most of 'em vote too. That's what gets the attention of the CongressCritters.

BTW, how many dues paying members, or any sort of members, does the Brady Bunch have?

Schumer talks tough,but in his miserable little cowardly,un- American heart,he’s scared.
Boxer is too stupid to be afraid-she thinks the water under the ice is warm,and only 6” deep.

"What's with the GOP?"

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!
