Except that the dims always ask for much more than they actually want. That is how they get what they want.
It will be interesting to watch this unfold.
Obama curiously left out any mention of gun control from his inauguration speech while doubling down on all his other pet agenda, yet Diane Finestein is set to unveil new gun control legislation in the Senate tomorrow.
Meanwhile the masses are snapping up guns and ammo at a never before seen rate.
The gun grabbers probably won’t do well at the federal level, but at the state level, they will have some gains. Look at NY, they just gutted the 2a.
I keep hoping overextension will start to apply to homo “marriage,” the health care omnibus, abortion laws. . .
still waiting. . .
I know, it could always be worse.
Absolutely.
We need to go on the offensive and push for pro-second amendment legislation (permit-free federal concealed carry, get rid of gun free zones, etc.).
It takes work, though. Write your legislators, even if they are leftists and you don't think it will do any good.
I just sent letters to my two democrat senators tonight. Don't leave me hanging.

... Australia’s Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research acknowledges that the gun ban had no significant impact on the amount of gun-involved crime:
In 2006, assault rose 49.2 percent and robbery 6.2 percent.
Sexual assault — Australia’s equivalent term for rape — increased 29.9 percent.
Overall, Australia’s violent crime rate rose 42.2 percent.
The reference adds that an Australian woman is three times as likely as an American one to be a rape victim.

They haven’t lost yet.
And I don’t think they will on this one.
I thought Obamacare was an “over reach” .........
The leftist elites have to know that many millions of Republican-hating average Dems own firearms and are as disagreeable to the idea of giving up their guns as the average conservative Republican. If they don’t know, then they’re dumber than they look.
I live in NYS - tell me about it!

It ain’t a “Bridge to Far” until to you cut them off to prevent retreat and slaughter the bridgehead. Don’t see that happening.
Need to keep the Democrats from retreating, cut them off from any support, then use their anti-freedom stance to destroy them. The ‘Pubbies, esp. Senate ‘Pubbies, don’t have the guts.
