They obviously don’t care that the “one life” which gets saved will be that of the criminal, because the law-abiding will have stripped of their protection.

The bad guys will still break the laws, the law-abiding will be defenseless, and the only life which will be saved will be that of the criminal. Instead of all the home owners and business owners who have protected themselves and others from injury, rape, and murder, only the criminal will have the ability to defend himself and inflict mayhem upon the innocent. I will never comply with these laws. The criminals kill you even if you give them what they want, and I’m not inclined to allow anyone to have power to degrade me before killing me and my loved ones just to comply with an unconstitutional law.

Here in Maryland its already over. No one coming to save us here. Many here (this site) just write off states that are not solid-Red as dead. Hold the line at TX and AL.

that does suck, but realistically, until it becomes a fed deal, the few who will actually stand for the BORs will continue to semi-patiently watch...

the fools in dc have no clue as to what can happen ...

That's their first mistake-there's no "rights" to this, there's only the right to keep and bear arms, period.

I promise you I don’t write off all you good folks who are stuck for whatever reason in a tyrannical state. Under the most used accusation “well they got what they voted for”, -the same could be said of all of us, since a large minority (probably a majority, if the cheating could be excluded), didn’t vote for the azz-kicking we’re all getting from Hussein and the fed gov.

No they didn’t. At best they put a little hot sauce in the Vaseline.

Dude, Cripplecreek, post of the year candidate!

The real test will be to see if this bill blows up and Dems start fleeing from it, looks like Schumer has already come out and condemned it. Grahamnesty and Rubio too.

Or if it passes to Os desk. That would be a disappointment,

I saw this post below earlier and it struck me that maybe these two got the word that this bill is going down and so they want to convince their cult(s) listeners or followers that it was they (the two) who were in front and were key in bringing it down. That is called ‘business’ , order your life lock-now.

Sarah Palin, Mark Levin vow to not support members of Congress who vote for gun-control laws

Did Obama blame the bombing on the sequester or gun check loopholes yet?
