BTW, this guy is arguably to the left of Michael Moore, Gnome Chomsky, Cindy Sheehan, Gary Younge and Mr. Obama, just for reference.

Desperate screeching due to the fact that reality is intruding on their fantasy.

If anything, RINO Senators like mine (Chambliss) caught hell for their vote for it. Got my obligatory form letter from him after I called him a traitor. It said, “I support gun rights blah blah blah....I support the second amendment blah blah blah, but I voted for universal background checks to stop crazy people from getting guns....blah blah blah.

One big ass effing traitor. Isakson, too. Chambliss is already gone (retired in place and will do a lot of damage). Isakson follows lock step. I’m gonna primary him when he’s up for re-election, or vote for his opponent in the general. NO MORE EFFING RINOs.

The same reality that makes Mooch-elle think her ass is slender and that Kenyan-born goofus she married is a Christian.

They live in parallel universes . . . incredibly out of touch.

I admire the fact that the Left does not abandon their wounded comrades, and they do not accept defeat.

In the case of “gun control”, they had a very expensive AstroTurf operation all ready to go, targeting Senators who voted “no” on Manchin-Toomey. It’s very impressive how they have deployed OFA drones all over New Hampshire (accompanied by NYT reporters, of course) to harass Kelly Ayotte everywhere she goes.

We have nothing like this.

Well if you tell a big enough lie long enough people might start believing it.

To our defense, we aren’t despicable enough to pay relatives of those killed by gun violence to fly around the country to heckle senators.

With the huge amount of guns and ammo sold in the past year I kinda think those who want to protect their Second Amendment rights will continue to win. Those who go after them will be unemployed.

Make no mistake, they are pushing to have the government in control of our basic civil rights such as the right of self-defense.

As usual, the Proppressives are playing with words and lies to disguise what they are doing – Schumer came out and said his goal was the precursor to Confiscation – Universal Registration.

With Universal Registration, the government will be in control of the second amendment and the rest of your civil rights.

After they attain that control they can move on to pushing their ‘Assault Weapon’ Scam and any other disarmament schemes they can hatch at their leisure.

This is why they continue to push this – it’s the whole enchilada for them.

We don't need to create an illusion. In fact, that's part of the problem for the left. They spend so much time creating illusions that they begin to believe their own lies and when they collapse they can't accept reality.

Just last week one of our local left leaning moderate newspaper columnists warned that the left was making a big mistake in pursuing the 90% lie.

He pointed out that plenty of liberals own guns including himself and he knows the facts don’t match the rhetoric coming from the left. He called it insulting to be treated like he was too stupid to recognize the lie.

Someone please show me how they are going to round-up and confiscate 500 million firearms and trillions of rounds of ammunition from 330 million people. All the armies, law enforcement personnel and paramilitary forces in the world, even if they were magically transported to America and given rudimentary, pidgin English lessons, couldn't do it in a determined effort of 100 years. PERIOD. The only way that the democrats, squishes and other gun-grabbers could get those guns is for the public to voluntarily turn them in, en masse such as happened in Australia and England. Do you really see Americans complying with that, to any degree?
