Any bets on which states will or very likely will pass their own secession laws if an unconstitutional federal law is declared?
Texas for sure.
Reminds me of something that (I think) Edward Snowden said: “Democrats are the most pro-gun group there is. Except that they want only their military to have guns to be used against civilians”.
They will unleash their woke military on us. We couldn't win a war against a reasonably competent foreign military, but it will be used to send troops against American patriots to subdue or kill as many of us as they want to finish off the USA.
Yes, dems cheated and the GOP let them, but also too many GA voters boycotted the senate runoffs.
Everyone of my circle that lean or are progressive that pop out with that whenever the subject comes up, I just laugh and say “today...” with a wink. They get quiet after that.
So they didn’t learn from when Harry Reid exercised the nuclear option on judicial nominations.
Great reply. thank you!
True, but in the back of our minds we all knew they would cave.
Defending the 2A how ever will depend on "We The People", not a bunch of linguini spined politicos ...
I seriously doubt Sinema will vote to remove the filibuster to allow gun control. She wants to stay in the Senate a long time and doing that would get her thrown out of Arizona. And the Democrats cannot “punish” her for a no vote since she is their best best for holding a Senate seat from Arizona for decades to come.
Ari is a “Closet Democrat”.
One can only hope that the gun owner sleeping giant is awakened and Democrat gunowners stop supporting Democrats at ballot box.
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), who told CNN on Tuesday that he would still advocate against it even if removing the rule would allow the passage of his bipartisan bill with Republican Sen. Pat Toomey (Pa.), which requires background checks on armed sales at gun shows and over the internet.
Already the law you stupid sons of beotch’s. Can anyone call them out, publicly. I believe Dana Loesch did just that to Durbin
It still strikes me hard to believe that these two are in the Senate, writing and voting on laws(supposedly), like almost all but a few of the remaining 98.
Way to go West Virginia for believing your Snake Oil Salesman.
I tend to think if they had the votes they would have done it by now.
They want to get rid of the filibuster to move their agenda forward. Period.
As of right now, I think Ari is right and this is the most popular issue for them to accomplish their ultimate goal (absolute legislative power).
The left exercises power. The GOPe is still worried about established rules, bi-partisanship, and consensus.
They are winning. There are enough Trump voters who are lukewarm on “sensible background checks” (that is how they will frame it) that it is the best issue on the board for them. The polling is clear. You and I might not like it, but its true.
When they abolish the filibuster for “sensible background checks” they will immediately pass nationalized elections, mass amnesty, and the green new deal. They will go after “black guns” after that.
Watch how fast Nancy and Chuck proceed. They will pass legislation so fast our heads will spin.
they may omnibus the gun control, voting, and other non fiscal bills and have it as one bill to override the fillabuster.
Oh yeah now it is payment time
Gun go first no doubt
Exactly.
It is important to remember that EVERY political issue pushed by Democrat politicians and Leftist activists is completely insincere.
They say whatever they think their voting base wants to hear.
They say whatever they think will create divisiveness and contention.
They don’t push climate change because they care about the planet - they push it to discredit capitalism, individualism and the bill of rights.
Same with gun control, nationalized healthcare, social justice, wealth redistribution - and everything else.
In short, they want to govern us, so of course they don’t want our self-governing Republic to succeed. They will attack anything that is working.
That’s why they hated President Trump - because he was making America great again and that’s the opposite of what their true agenda is.
My understanding is that only about 33% of the population were favorable to rebellion against the King.
I’m willing to be corrected about that, if someone has a source for the correction.
If the Dims do pass gun control bills, they will lose their majority in 2022. The pubbies might even gain a veto proof majority. Probably not, but it’s possible.
