Won’t pass the House. Senate is irrelevant.

Who’s the speaker of the House? What passed on his watch?

House and senate are irrelevant. Zero will use EO. No one will stop him.

“Won’t pass the House. Senate is irrelevant.”

I wouldn’t count on that.

It -will- pass the Senate. We’re seeing the beginning of a cave and capitulation by Senate Republicans, and it won’t matter because if the filibuster is removed, it will pass the Senate easily (even if Republicans there were united against it).

By the time it gets that far, the momentum will be established and the pressure will be on in the House. I would reckon that so much heat is going to be applied to House democrats, that we may see 95% or more of them vote for passage, irregardless of their previous “NRA ratings”. Once that becomes clear, there may be enough pressure brought to bear upon the weaker House Republicans, that Obama may pick off enough of them to eke out a bare majority.

I’d give gun control a 50-50 chance of getting through Congress right now. If the ‘rats and the media can maintain the barrage, those odds may tip in their favor.

Not the best scenario, but that’s how I see it. I’ll happily eat the crow if things go the other way.

A side note: went to a gun shop on Rt. 15 near Berlin, Connecticut today, and the parking lot was so jammed we couldn’t even get into the driveway — they had a cop there directing traffic inside the parking lot!

If the owner didn't get an NFA license, he could expect the SWAT teams to descend on his house. etc...

Won’t pass the House. Senate is irrelevant.

And what sort of trickery was involved when parts of ObamaCare were "deemed" to have passed in the House?

How this plays out over the next month or two will be telling in how far Zero and his minions are prepared to go with their agenda and whether or not they think they can get away with killing the People into submission. What was the real fallout from Waco and Ruby Ridge?
