...“the answer will have to come from the voters.”

Well, all righty then. It's going to.

This is the first sign that Obama has lost his Mojo! He is heading for a crushing defeat in 2014. The Democrats are heading for a disaster in the mid-term election. They will lose. The Senate, governorships, state houses, lose more seats in the House. Obama will gut the Party the way Jimmy Carter did. People(save for the few fanatic followers) have lost interest in the “historic” black President. The Ricin dude —a leftist Democrat is a good example. He over played his hand and showed his incompetence. Hillary was wise to leave the ship before it started taking on water. Watch the scandals start to come out—by summer —Obama will be a stale joke (he already is to the right) In time Piers Morgan will be better thought of than the President.

The 2nd Amendment is a “wedge issue”? How can the Constitution be a wedge issue? Am I still living in America?

Behold the long awaited overreach by the all too confident fool in the White House.

Actually, his loss on the sequester was a big sign. And that was after him barnstorming the country with major demogoguery.

Then last week he produced a budget with NO support from either left or right.

Obama's political capital is fast slipping through his fingers.

There's a good chance Hillary won't be exempt from any coming storms.

Benghazi whistleblowers are talking.

Holder’s law firm was not based in Chicago, but rather was Covington & Burling, which was once the largest firm in DC (now they are #2 behind Hogan Lovells). Covington has the entire building at 1201 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW. You could call it a liberal cesspool, but that would be unfair to cesspools.

The enemy, as described by Obama, is the "gun lobby".

That's funny, I've never seen Gun Lobby on any ballot before. If Obama is going to "freeze and personalize the enemy" as dictated by his Alinski mantra, isn't he going to have to find an enemy that someone recognizes?

I wanted this Bill to be defeated because it would be completly ineffective in stopping a repeat of Aurora or Newtown. But it begs the question, is there any practical way of stopping a person from committing such an act without infringing on the rights of lawful gun owners? I have thought this over and over and I really can’t come up with any satisfactory answer. Perhaps it comes down to one of two solutions. Either take everyone’s gun away (not very likely to happen) have guns everywhere. Allow lawful gun owners to carry their guns everywhere. So long as we have areas, such as schools, where no guns are allowed, then that is where a person bent on taking as many lives as they can are going to go. I would like to see as many gun free zones as possible, removed.
