GOP victory could backfire if empowered and ignored voters revolt
National Journal ^ | 4/17/13 | Fournier

Link to the madness

Short version: Common sense gun control voters, enraged at Obama's megaloss today on gun-grabbing, will rise up in unified, righteous fury and destroy the Republicans.

Revolting? Yes, that aptly describes Obama supporters.

"In an era of voter empowerment and surprise, the GOP’s opposition to a popular gun regulation could backfire."

"Popular" only according to leftwing's phony gun polls, gun groups & grass-root gun-control campaign supporters.

Ron Fournier, the man who carried leftwing water with AP for 20 years including 8 years in the Bill Clinton's White House "press" corp doing the journalistic equivalent of what Lewinsky did in the Oval Office.

HIRED GRASSROOTS SUPPORTERS:

FAKE HUNTING GROUPS:
"Democrats Use Fake Hunters Group to Push Gun Control" Excerpts:

"Co-Founder Gaspar Perricone... is a former staffer for Sen. Mark Udall, Colorado Democrat."

"The other co-founder of Bull Moose, Tim Mauck, was Mr. Udall’s finance director."

"Bull Moose Sportsmen is a fringe organization run by Democratic activists that has been rejected from membership into the major gun and hunting groups’ umbrella organization because it refuses to reveal its funding sources."

AND OF COURSE THE FAKE "JOURNALISTS" OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY MEDIA:
.......An Obama Press Conference:

Go ahead and finish the GOP off. Do us a favor! When it comes to civilian disarmament the GOP got nuthin' to do with it. We are most definitely talking about THEM protecting us. We will do just fine, thank you.

Don’t bet on it.

Gun sales through the roof should tell you something.

The writers of the article have it backward. The revolt will come against those that voted FOR the law, not against—read McCain, Collins, etc.

You can bet that when we have another mass shooting, Obama and the lefties will blame the right for defeating common sense gun control.

The people who don't want weapons are going to "rise up" and "destroy" the ones who like or don't mind weapons. I think I see a flaw in that plan...

I post a reply there, in a varying theme I use all the time when the liberals complain about the “all powerful NRA”.

(Quoting one of their paragraphs) “The gun lobby. The National Rifle Association and other groups funded by the gun industry “

Fournire is just another sock puppet for the Left, as with this usual lie. He also displays their usual hypocrisy, for they are complaining about the very creature they created. Shades of Mary Shelley!

I have been a Life member of the NRA since 1957. Back then the NRA was only interested in promoting gun safety and target shooting. When the Jihad against firearms ownership began in the ‘60s, they were slow to react, saying it was “ungentlemanly” to get involved in “that kind of politics”.

After getting suckered into supporting the “one time” 1968 Gun Control Act, they finally realized what kind of odious people they were up against, rolled up their sleeves - and the rest is history.

If this crap had passed the Senate, the blame would have been placed on House republicans for shooting it down. It was a bad bill and never had a chance of passing. Toomey and any other Republican that voted for it needs to be voted out of office. Kissing the libs butt is not a resume’ enhancer

I AM enjoying immensely the exploding heads at dumpsterunderground.com. They are already saying Obama’s bitter, childish tirade tonight promised gun control by EO. THAT will be some dust-up.
