Yeah? How about preventing REAL tyranny?

[Darksheare]

He’s suffering from mad cow disease.
His brain is a sponge.

What was the opinion of the founders, Harry?

Did they “imagine” tyranny when they set up Constitutional safeguards for the rights of the people AGAINST GOVERNMENT INTRUSION (tyranny)?

[glock rocks]

Infringe much Harry?

[Truth29]

Harry is not an imagined tyrant, himself.

[Texas Eagle]

I think Hairy is being a little short-sighted.

What if America loses its collective mind and votes for (gasp!) Sarah Palin or Ted Cruz one day?

How are we going to stop them from imposing their demonic right-wing agenda on us?

Huh, Harry, huh?! Every think about that!!?

Oops. Sorry. Coffee's running low. I get cranky when the coffee runs low.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Dingy Harry is in over his head. He’s too old for that job.

[William Tell]

Reid denies that there is need for concern, but he seems to at least imply that we are doing the right thing to address this “imaginary” problem.

[fruser1]

I guess he hasn’t heard of the EPA.

Or maybe tyrants are just ignorant of their own tyranny.

[Red in Blue PA]

So there will never be another tyrant? Not tomorrow or a thousand years hence? And he can guarantee this? Thought not.

[brownsfan]

Harry Reid is an evil man. Pure evil. Harry is every bit as evil as Obama, perhaps even worse.

That’s the go to move of a juvenile mind when caught doing something. Mockery.

Harry Reid: "I will vote for assault weapons ban because maintaining law and order and saving lives is more important than preventing imagined tyranny."

So, National Rifle Association... still going to grade this guy high?

[Sacajaweau]

Man...They're stuck on stupid.

That's why the right to bear arms is in the constitution...to make sure we are able to defend ourselves HERE IN THE USA.

The Federal Government supports a whole different kind of army.

[circlecity]

"law and order and saving lives is more important than preventing imagined tyranny."

Pretty much exactly what Hitler said in the 1930's. Right before he built the imagined concentration camps.

[Pollster1]

Please tell me the apparent tyranny is just a nightmare. I was afraid that the anti-American communist in our White House was real, that the trampling of the First Amendment rights to freedom of religion and free speech was real, that the trampling of our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms was real, that the IRS probing private emails without a warrant was a real violation of the Fourth Amendment, and that so much of what I see from the druggie I thought was in our White House was real. Is this all just a nightmare that seems to be lasting eight years, and we'll wake up to find that a decent American like Palin has been the president all along while we dreamed of what would have happened if we made the worst imaginable mistake?

[vpintheak]

I’m getting real sick of these smarmy SOB’s!

[cotton1706]

Maybey Harry should read an “imaginary” history book.

[Da Coyote]

Should not one wear a gas mask designed to absorb loathsome odors whenever one sees Whorehouse Harry’s name?

Should not we be warned if anyone is to print the name of “he who must not be mentioned”?

I hope that I live long enough to have the opportunity to take a bodacious Obama on that slimeball’s grave.

Nevada reporter Jon Ralston is live Tweeting Reid speaking:

Reid: "Protect your home and your family, to hunt, to target practice..you do not need an assault weapon to defend yourself or..property."

Reid: "We do not need to arm ourself against the army or the police. The United States is not out to get us." Wow. This will get blowback.

Reid talks about living in "the real world, not the conspiratorial world." I think his NRA grade is going down.

Reid talks about "keeping weapons of war off the streets." He is making a passionate (for him) defense of weapons ban.

Reid: "That's why I will vote 4 Dianne Feinstein's assault weapons ban." Derides those who "believe in conspiracy theories and false flags."

Reid also a YES on banning large magazines.

Reid says "when went bird-hunting you gave birds a sporting chance....don't people deserve as much protection as birds?" Um....

Reid: "I believe if we can save the life of a single American, we owe it to ourselves to try."

Reid talks of courage. "Today I choose to vote my conscience...." What about other days? #tooeasy

Reid appears emotional at end of speech. Very unusual for him, as was intensity and language of that speech on guns.

[Texas Eagle]

Funny how Harry doesn’t fear tyranny but whenever a Republican wants to do something he acts like it will lead to tyranny.....
