WSB Radio Atlanta GA ^ | 06/15/16 | NeverGore

Posted on 06/15/2016 6:05:00 AM PDT by nevergore

WSB radio announced that Mitch McConnell is expected to change his position on gun control this afternoon after his meeting with the FBI Director. This is all they stated and it was via McConnell's office.

He is expected to remove his blocking of legislation.

Time to make our objections known to this RINO....

Nothing on their website yet per this post but other websites at link are reporting....

Why this flip flop? Money and personal security. Bribery and blackmail.

He is permitting the liberal republican senators up for vote this year an opportunity to go on the record.

It is extremely dangerous given the republicans have only a 4 senator lead.

I imagine that Kirk, Ayotte, Johnson, Portman, and Toomey are suspect. Portman would cut his throat to vote for gun control in Ohio.

Also, I’m assuming this has not yet gone to the House but has originated in the Senate.

Except that Paul Ryan is a democrat and will use the democrats to get a majority in the House, I would normally say that such a bill would be DOA in the House.

Calling his office will do no good whatsoever unless you live in Kentucky and are registered to vote. Call your own state senators and let them know how you will vote if they vote with B!tch McConnell.

The club probably had security. There was an off duty cop there who returned fire and induced Mateen to retreat to the bathroom which probably limited the carnage. News reports mention the cop and talk about a doorman. My surmise is that the cop was the doorman. Clubs like that like to hire off duty cops for bouncers and security.

False flag is entirely unnecessary to their goals. Just ignore the Moslems and their plans which are often fairly obvious to neighbors and others but when they report suspicions they are called bigots or just ignored. You don’t even have to encorage the paynim, just don’t interfere.

The responsibility for it lies squarely on Obama.

Well, that ain’t going to past muster is it? So we must suffer instead of he.

If this gun control stuff goes through this time the lines have been drawn. I don’t see anything good on the horizon if the Republican’s act like we know they will, that is the backstabbing socialists and lying dogs we know they are.

What they mean is deny White Christians guns, while deliberately leaving them in the hands of violent criminals and terrorists.

“If immigration, homeland security and FBI were able to do their job, the Islamic terror attack woul not have happened in Orlando.”

Most importantly, IMHO, is that Islamic leaders come out and say, unequivocally: 1. ISIS, the clerics who back them, and all those who kill in the name of Islam are not doing God's work, and will not go to paradise because of their actions. They are not Muslims, do not represent Islam, and are definitely not martyrs. 2. Sharia was written during a different time in a different culture. It is not the definitive law of Allah, and does not and should not supplant the laws of modern society. Islamic clerics who disagree and push for Sharia literalism are wrong and not acting in accordance to God's will.

I don't expect this to happen, but it's the ideology that is being used as justification, and this is what has to be definitively discredited. If the clerics say that can't do this, because Sharia ‘is’ the definitive law of God, then we need to have the open discussion about how this belief system is compatible with Western society.

Thanks for the very valuable additional details!
Coincidences and accidents seldom are that, in politics of this scale.
Also note, that in California there are a dozen strict gun bills being rushed thru the legislature.
Registering ammo purchases is one of them.
Expect that initiative to sweep westward thru the country to DC.
Unfortunately, CA sets the trends more often than not.

RE: “Given the current US political administration’s affinity for limiting, if not, repealing the second amendment, here are a few more ‘not-so-easy-to-dismiss’ coincidences occurring conveniently along the same time line as the Orlando massacre and CA rainbow Pride parade threat of mass assault - both of which have been contorted by ‘journos’& ‘anti-2A pols’ as ‘weapons issues’ :

6-10 June 2016, NY “The UN Programme of Action (PoA) on small arms and light weapons envisages the convening of Biennial Meetings of States “to consider the national, regional and global implementation of the Programme of Action.” BMS6 will be the last meeting before the 2018 3rd Review Conference (RevCon3).

Americans for Responsible Solutions announced on Friday prior to Orlando shootings...

MARK KELLY, DAVID PETRAEUS, STANLEY MCCHRYSTAL, MICHAEL HAYDEN, THAD ALLEN, WESLEY CLARK AND OTHER VETERAN LEADERS LAUNCH NEW “VETERANS COALITION FOR COMMON SENSE” TO URGE ELECTED LEADERS TO DO MORE TO PREVENT GUN TRAGEDIES

The coalition is focused on engaging other veterans and elected leaders by:
Urging our elected leaders to close the loopholes in our background check laws that let felons, domestic abusers and the dangerously mentally ill buy guns without a criminal background check.
Strengthening existing laws and ensuring lawmakers and stakeholders have the resources and training they need to prevent gun tragedies.
Partnering with other groups in the veterans community on suicide prevention and mental health.

***** Tying the Orlando massacre to this issue...

Five suspects involved in planned attacks

Twitter videoABCNews EXCLUSIVE/#ABC2020 visible on video clip....”Man says he played dead to keep Orlando shooter from killing him.”2:15 length video interview reveals the shooter made calls during massacre...ff:0:43

“...then he called somebody else that he knew and he mentioned that he was the 4th shooter and there was three others and he mentioned, I believe, a female name and was playing dead...he’s saying she has a bombing vest and he has one too.”

Recall also, the Orlando shooter’s father Visited Congress, the State Department and met political leaders during a trip to Washington, DC, in April
He also attended a hearing on Afghanistan security while in the capital

There is a town in Alberta, Canada with the evocative name of Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump. It takes its name from a geologic feature that North American Indians used to hunt bison. The Indians would stealthily arrange themselves around a herd of bison and, at a signal, jump up and alarm the herd into a stampede. By their strategic positioning, the Indians would cause the herd to stampede over a cliff (the buffalo jump) thus killing or sufficiently injuring the animals so that they’d be short work for Indians waiting below the cliff.

The Obama administration has been using buffalo jump hunting on the Congress and the American people. It is at the root of Rahm Emmanuel’s now notorious comment that “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.” The Cloward-Piven strategy of revolution prescribes a method for fomenting crises that can serve as predicates for buffalo jump hunts that advance the left. The “Stimulus” was one such stampede — Congress didn’t even take the time to read the bill before running [us] over the buffalo jump. Another one was the “Health Care Crisis”.

Everyone run in fear! Obama will show us the “escape route”; in our rush to “safety” we won’t heed the fatal drop in front of us. Next will come the “Carbon Crisis”. And then a gun crisis. And then...well, save something for next time.

If the American people don’t stop stupidly rushing headlong from every phoney buffalo jump crisis their first awareness of impending doom will be on the ride down to disaster.

He is not even up for election. Why this flip flop


It’s a favor for blue state GOPers like Ayotte up for reelection. McConnell is all about personal power. The country be damned.

“Wondering what Obama has in ole Mitch?”
At first I thought ‘in’ was a typo for ‘on’ but upon reflection, decided that ‘in’ is probably correct.
