NRA supported Harry Reid. Im sure he will help kill this treaty if it hits the Senate./
These UN twits can have my guns — right after I run out of ammo!
They also endorsed Chet Edwards, in Texas,, a man on Obamas short list for veep. The passed over solid repub Flores who had a good chance of winning and ultimately beat Edwards.
Bleating from the NRA annoys me now, as they use little press releases to fund raise, but then support the people who line up solidly behind Pelosi and Obama. Dingell is another NRA pick.
Not a dime from me until i see them utterly avoid the democrat party for an election. Promises are empty.
I’d be ok with them supporting Dems, because they should be impartial.
I’m not ok with them supporting Dems who push gun control.
To keep our firearms we will have to be mentally prepared to treat police as if they were enemy combatants (which of course by definition they will be) And anyone who foolishly thinks that the police won't enforce the most restrictive laws that get passed, just look at the history of the 20th century where gun bans and a lot worse were passed and implemented. Who implemented them? Why the governments' police forces of course. Ask the Russian peasants of Stalin's era, the German jews of the '30s and '40s, the educated cambodians of the '70s, the chinese middle class of the '50s and '60s about it. Oh wait you CAN'T ask them they were murdered by the police of their respective governments.
Unless anyone is stupid enough to say "It can't happen here." denying human nature is the same world wide, this is what we have to look forward to.
Since the rats took over the Congress in 2006, what gun grabbing bills moved through Congress besides the one about those deemed a threat to themselves or others, genuine head cases? I'm content with the NRA being a single issue organization backing incumbents when they an equal NRA rating compared to their challenger. Some RINOs have been awful regarding the Second Amendment.
I understand your point. But if we support a dem who is pro gun,,, and this pro gun dem then falls into line behind Obama, Pelosi, and Reid,, what did we get for our money?
No back bencher Congressman will be able to exert power over a Pelosi. NRA should not support the individual if they also belong to an organization that has a -proven- track record of dedication to eradicating the 2nd amendment. (ie,, the democrat party)
Yeah...whatever! I'll die clubbin them with mine.
The democrat party has not had success in their agenda,, but they are working as hard as they can within political reality. I am not aware of ANY democrat who has saved us from gun control because we supported them.
The democrat party gave us Fast and Furious. The Democrat party is pushing this Global arms treaty. The democrat party made efforts to brutalize us after the Giffords/Arizona shooting. Large numbers of vets get a diagnosis of PTSD if they saw any combat. The Democrat party directed the VA to include these vets as brady check fails.
The democrat party is trying to end gun shows. The democrat party is working to close vast areas of federal lands to guns.
A blind man can see that the dem party is fully dedicated to ultimately disarming America. Not all repubs deserve support, but anyone who is a dem is on a team that deserves to be shunned. If they want cash,, the NRA should advise them to swap parties with generous offers of cash.
Article II, Section 2, Paragraph 2: "He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur;"
Kindly note the second-to-last word of the quotation: "present." Obama could negotiate a treaty secretly, then call a session of the Senate with only a half-dozen or so gun-grabbing Senators in attendance and be home free.
This is only one of many reasons we won't be able to vote ourselves out of the mess we've voted ourselves into.
“Every time I see that picture I sigh in exasperation. It won’t be blue helmeted UN troops disarming us it will be your local friendly police working with the federal gun gestapo.
To keep our firearms we will have to be mentally prepared to treat police as if they were enemy combatants (which of course by definition they will be) And anyone who foolishly thinks that the police won’t enforce the most restrictive laws that get passed, just look at the history of the 20th century where gun bans and a lot worse were passed and implemented. Who implemented them? Why the governments’ police forces of course. Ask the Russian peasants of Stalin’s era, the German jews of the ‘30s and ‘40s, the educated cambodians of the ‘70s, the chinese middle class of the ‘50s and ‘60s about it. Oh wait you CAN’T ask them they were murdered by the police of their respective governments.

-You may have a point, unless all those law enforcement and military on an individual basis happen to remember that oath they took. They will then have a very important decision to make.
You’re not seeing my point.
When Holder said he wanted to renew the assault weapon ban in 2009, Pelosi and Reid said in effect to pound sand. Hence they proceded with Fast & Furious to phony up the stats. They know the Second Amendment is a losing issue for rats.
We know what’s the far left’s true agenda is since Obama became President, but the rats had to nominate so called moderates to take over Congress in 2006 and expand their majority in 2008. They had to run candidates who swore allegiance to the Second Amendment or be prolife, e.g. Bob Casey for Senator in PA in 2006.
One bit about how our own domestic police (and perhaps military) would be employed to conduct this particular brand of opression... From my experience, some would do as ordered and some would not. Enough, as far as I can tell, to lead to a good bit of "loss of unit cohesion".
I hope we don't have to find out. We live in interesting times.
The last that I read, they still need 60 votes to end debate. Do you think McConnell et al. are that stupid that no pubbie will be in attendance to object to a voice vote and demand a roll call vote.
Maybe this is why the US Homeland Security has placed an order for 450 million rounds of APC .40 as well as rifle rounds. Gearing up to enforce martial law and to disarm the nation??
