Maybe it would take a stadium sniper, and mass casualties, after all.
I wouldn't put it past the Obama/Holder team, if they thought they could get away with it. They didn't mind 100s of Mexicans and a few U.S. federal agents being killed by Fast and Furious weapons gunwalked into Mexico.
I think you only got the year wrong.
If they could have they would have.
The way they see it is they're by G-d gonna get away with it. They haven't given up on anything, they're just biding their time.
All they gotta do is have more votes counted for them than for Gingrich (what it's lookin like now, anyway) and in their next term they'll do it by executive order, using Ms. Giffords and her husband as props.
Guys, guys, listen...
They don’t need to take away our rights via federal restrictions anymore. Technology is moving beyond the need for this.

The new battleground is technology. They will soon be able to see everything everywhere...from the sky! They will soon have control of all elements of the economy from bank accounts to credit cards to loans to every conceivable transaction. SOPA/PIPA is as big a deal or bigger than any gun law ever considered by any tyrant anywhere. A high cap mag is not going to be enough to keep your freedom. Not even close.
Thanks for the ping!
We seem to have won for a while the idea that ANY anti-firearm regulations are to be taken to the polling booth.
