The Obama administration's current warpath against so-called "gun violence" -- which is Newspeak for non-violence committed by non-criminals with their non-illegal private property -- is a brazen challenge to America's manhood. The progressives have apparently decided that this is the moment when they can play their ultimate authoritarian hand, and let the chips fall where they may. They believe, in other words, that this is the moment when they may be able to break America at last, one way or another.
Through Obama's forceful, smug insistence on taking action in defiance of Congress, along with the aggressive urging to do so from his sycophants in the progressive elite -- from the vice president and the senate majority leader on down -- the leftists are engaging in a game of chicken with the American spirit that is disturbing both for its immediate intentions and for its revelation of their thought process and game plan.
In light of the well-known fact that their proposals and trial balloons will be judged by millions of Americans to be an outright violation of constitutionally protected liberties -- and liberties of the most emotionally trenchant nature, namely those related to the very foundations of limited government -- the progressives' deliberate projection of haste and intransigence on gun control must not merely be taken at face value, and judged on its "merits." It must also be interpreted -- in other words, one must ask precisely what they are hoping to achieve by attacking the most deeply held principles of so many Americans in such a heavy-handed fashion.
It seems to me that there are two plausible interpretations of their open chastisement of "all this debate" over Second Amendment concerns, i.e., their boisterous spitting upon the U.S. Constitution.

“Have you forgotten WACO?”
Nope. I see Waco as a giant cluster flock by incompetent and gutless worms who were defeated and lost the initial battle. Most people forget that the ATF surrendered to the women and children guarding the church. The ATF tough guys walked away with their hands in the air 15 minutes into the firefight.
Because the ATF fat slobs had to call in tanks, snipers and criminals with poison gas to defeat women and children, some people are equating that with how tough the ATF is.
For me, Waco showed that the ATF is a clown posse that knows squat about combat. It also tells me that the ATF is nothing more than a neo-gestapo terrorist organization with a mission to terrorize and murder women and children.
Ditto that, Sarge.
Bttt.
