It’s silly even paying attention to these guys. There is NO WAY IN HELL the Republicans in the House are going to pass ANYTHING further restricting guns. Pelosi had a huge majority of Dems in the House and the only thing that she was able to pass was a bill ALLOWING concealed carry in National Park (consistent with that state’s laws). She worked with the NRA to get it right.
We conservatives have a lot more to do than worry about any restrictive gun legislation at the federal level EVER passing in this Congress.
I agree...but I've always been interested in the point of view of the other side. When they say there were 34 murders by gun in the lkast week in neighborhood "X", why does no one ever ask the question "how many of the shooters carried gun permits. They say, we must prevent unqualified people from obtaining firearms, as if liscensing restrictions would do anything at all to alleviate the situation. If the state issues drivers licenses, it does not prevent those who flaunt the law from driving....that is so plain to see that I can't believe that anyone would be so naive as to think any different.
I doubt it. She got her majority in part by recruiting Second Amendment friendly candidates in 2006 & 2008. She had bigger fish to fry, e.g. Obamacare, Cap & Tax, etc. The lefty true believers hated working with the "Blue Dogs."
They won't be a majority in the House until they can retake most of what seats that they lost in 2010, plus their upcoming losses from reapportionment and redistricting, maybe another 15 - 20 seats swing to the GOP. They lost about half of the "Blue Dogs," about 27 of the 50 or so, IIRC.
