Come on, any NRA backed legislation is toxic for the next few months. It would be idiotic to push something like this right now. All they did was shelve it - set it aside for a better time.
Why? Because some idiot late night talk show host says so?
Exactly. The pearl-clutching on FreeRepublic has gotten nauseating.
Yes, but the point is it should have been passed in the first 60 days along with repealing bammycare, tax cuts, defunding planned murderhood, etc.
They will say “we’ll get to it later”, but later never comes!
Please. No attempts at reason. This is the FR. Just think how smart it would be to put this up to a vote this week. Real genius. /s
Then say NOTHING. But that's not the Putz Ryno way ... No, instead he bowed and groveled and made his obeisance to Hildebeeste.
Agree.
Wait till all the drumbeats stop and pass it at a later date.
The strangest argument I heard was that “silencers” were needed so as not to annoy the neighbors. Where are these people so close that shooting would annoy the neighbors? I sure don’t want anyone using a silencer when shooting in my vacinity.
Funny how these times of chaos work for the left (Rahm Emmanuel says never let a crisis go to waste) but they always work against the right. They use these opportunities to advance their agenda, while the right is expected to lay low (assuming they can get any lower now). These things, far from slowing the left’s agenda, are used by them to double down. Why can’t the policians putatively on the right do the same thing?
