But then something unexpected happened. Some of the senators who’d voted “no” faced furious voters back home. Even before Erica Lafferty, the daughter of murdered Sandy Hook Elementary principal Dawn Hochsprung, confronted New Hampshire Republican Kelly Ayotte at a particularly tense town hall, Ayotte’s disapproval rating in the state had jumped from 35 to 46 percent—half the respondents said her “no” vote made them less likely to support her.

This is preparing the Senate for Reid to reintroduce the gun control bill this summer. They saw their weakness and we had better be prepared. They learned the NRA is still strong and was able to rally the grassroots and become involved. The author is using Alinsky tactics to make the case that the Senate should not fear the NRA and vote for gun control.
Here is how it develops:
Rule 8-keep the pressure on the Senators by declaring them the problem to achieving gun control and then by rule 13-Isolating the NRA as really not as powerful as the Senators may think and then using rule 5-ridiculing the NRA and their follower as just a minority of the population.
The author then revisits Newtown and brings in the victim stories trying to stay faithful to rule 2-stay within your expertise of making gun control seem sensible and those opposed on the fringe of society.
The author even tries to follow rule 1-that power is not what you really have, but what the enemy believes you may have by elevating Bloomberg's Mayors Against Illegal Guns group as being able to take on the Senators if they vote against gun control.
What the author fails to recognize is rule 7-a tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag. This kind of crap propaganda is now recognized for what it is and Senators know at the end of the day the BS polls will never replace the people from the districts/states that light up the phones, email accounts and town hall meetings when these guys fall prey to these Progressive Alinksy tactics.
Be Ready to fight the fight when Reid brings the gun control bill back up in the Senate around July 4th.

Right after some horrific shooting takes place at a school by a conservative looking white male wearing an NRA baseball cap and t-shirt who then flees the scene and is never captured though there are other shootings by a guy matching the same description only the guy will be bald and sporting Aryan Brotherhood tats...always the same old cap from 0. You really have to wonder how many schemes have been hatched to decieve the American people at the WH. It’s a real shame to even have to think thy way about a CIC but we ave plenty of ammo that suggests this very thing is occurring.
The NRA isn’t going to end this. What this is boiling down to is an irreconcilable difference between peoples of this country. Those for freedom and the protections and affirmations accorded to all under the US Constitutions and those that think the feelgoodism of liberalism that only seeks to control all aspects of everyones’ lives.
If they want, those liberals can browbeat their representatives into capitulating to ‘feelgoodism’ and take away all their guns. Only, when they try to expand this in a Federal manner that affects thoses states that still have sane citizens who value freedom, they will reap the whirlwind of true internal war.
Just because you can threaten, browbeat, wrongfully shame and stupidly give away YOUR freedom, doesn’t mean the rest of this country is going to accept it. Come and take them.
Brits overwhelmingly want repeal of handgun ban
May 27, 2013
Well, well.
It seems Her Royal Highness’ subjects are very keen on repealing their nation’s ban on handgun ownership, which came about as a knee-jerk reaction to a mass attack by an evil man.
Since the ban and confiscation of handguns in 1997, Britain has seen a steadily increasing rate of violent crime. Gun crimes increased nearly 100% in the decade from 1999 to 2009.
The royal subjects are, as we mentioned earlier, keen to end the prohibition on handgun ownership. Asked about some key issues facing Great Britain, the poll below shows an overwhelming majority want to be able to possess handguns once again.

Democrats hate the Constitution.
I bet some of the Brits surveillance cameras and red light / speeding cameras may feel the ping of a bullet soon. I guess they started figuring out why so many of our ancestors left their rock to come to the U.S after all...
Lawmakers facing recall bids over strict gun laws in Colorado

Toomey’s toast. Unfortunately for him the establishment Republicans in the Philly burbs are all Rockefeller RINOs while the actual registered voting Republicans are hard core conservatives. And the problem for him is that RINO Republican women aren’t going to vote for him even if grabs every gun in the country. Toomey is anti-abortion and they (the RINO women) are baby killers before they are gun grabbers.
If that ban is ever lifted, anybody with load of reasonably priced, serviceable handguns stands to make a fortune.
For instance, if the UK lifted their ban, how long do you think it would take to sell a 100k Ruger LCP9s?
Ever notice how much the left hates the NRA which gets the vast majority of its money from small donations and how much they love the anti-gun movement which gets its money from rich liberals?
I saw this reported on the gun control show, Joe and Mika this morning, however they also had it pointed to them that only the (vunerable ) Dems who voted against the bill are up for election next year, not GOP Senators who would be vunerable.
Their favorite punching bag New Hampshire Republican Kelly Ayotte is not, much to their frustration.
So all these polls would console them when Reid loses seats in 2014.
Every point in this article is demonstrably and provably wrong and/or a flat out lie.
They failed by pushing the 90% myth. In a country that is politicly divided 50/50 for each party, there is no way that number stands scrutiny, much less when one considers how many gun owners of a certain other party own guns and feel the government isn’t addressing the real problem and to them, it seems the government is attempting to look like they are accomplishing something but, are only making citizens who on day were not breaking the law and the next morning, by the stroke of a pen are now criminals.
Yeah, you hear it in the quiet whispers of deep concern, even from Democrats who support Barrack on almost anything, that this is too much.
It is interesting to hear such ardent supporters become opposition on this issue not just out of emotion but, they offer proof and wonder how the hell a guy could be arrested for having 9 rounds in his gun, just a few short weeks after The Empire State passed laws limiting “citizens” to no more than 7 rounds.
But hey, the legislature and many law enforcement heads they wouldn’t support that part of the law and yet this man is in severe jeopardy of not only jail and fines but, having his 2nd amendment right taken away for an idiotic law.
The rest of the article delves into a regurgitation of miserably inaccurate premises, to be generous, that are easily debunked but, suffice to say, the article itself is just so much bunk..
Punks...
The left is all about elitism, no matter how much they proclaim to care for the common man.
It would be nice if the truth would come out that the victims at Sandy Hook were not killed with an “assault” weapon at all!! There is video of a policeman taking an automatic weapon out of Lanza’s TRUNK.
This is another lie perpetuated by the obama thugs to advance their agenda of disarming law abiding citizens.
There was/is a website that has a photo gallery of UK traffic camera destruction, it's hilarious. Usually they're painted over or driven over. A few years back one of them was 'necklaced'.
Their local governments must be losing far more money on hardware than they're collecting in fines.
This article is a load of gibberish.
You can't fix stupid, but that doesn't make me dumb.

There were a couple Lefties out in front of the Thursday night food truck roundup in our suburb, collecting signatures in favor of the King background check bill.
These people don’t stop. We can’t, either.
