And they are off!

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.

Even Greg Craig, the fellow who invented political street theater in support of cases at law, has pretty much given up on this technique. In fact, I don't think he's used it since the Elian kidnapping.

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.

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...

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 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.

What does this have to do with preventing maniacs from committing atrocities? They are targeting law abiding citizens for further infringement. The NRA and other pro second amendment groups must inform people in regions where they have been brainwashed by gun confiscation leftists.

It’s possible to fight nonsense with actual facts.

We don’t have to convince skeptics that we’re all safer when law-abiding citizens are armed. All we have to do is recite the fact that gun crimes have gone down over the past decade while both concealed carry permits and overall gun ownership have gone up significantly. The facts refute the fears. Let them draw their own conclusions from the facts, but willingly supply the facts at every opportunity.

From such facts, it is easy to draw the conclusion that gun-free zones (like our schools) are a bad idea. A better policy would be to pay a cash stipend to any teacher or administrator in a building who agreed to carry and who met all of the school’s requirements for doing so. Allocate X thousand dollars per building and let those who agree to carry split it equally. If only one person is wlling, he or she will get the entire stipend that year. You’ll get takers.

When applying all those numbered rules, they keep forgetting Rule 308.

So the leftist aka progressive socialist claim households with guns are going down. Or are people just not claiming they have guns?

The Left has written of the impending demise and then also penned in eager anticipation an early obituary regarding the NRA too many times only to be (pardon me) shot down in flames each time for me to take this too seriously.
