Looks like .GOV is trying to hoodwink us again while the media focus is on the election campaign.

Like HR1022, this is is a bugger.

Contact your REP ASAP and let them have an earful.

Tell them how you feel about HR 6257

Let's kill bill before he becomes the "law".

"A Right Unexercised is a Right Lost"

General apathy towards your rights, all of them, is the same as leaving them unexercised. Many natural born citizens tend to be apathetic to their rights, lets change that for the better.

[Slapshot68]

Here we go again. More feel good legislation that does nothing.

Worst Congress ever.

[B Knotts]

Introduced by a Republican, and co-sponsored by four Republicans.

[petro45acp]

Stock up on ammunition and duck tape!!!

[WayneS]

Republicrats.

I think the correct term is Republicrat, isn’t it?

[darkangel82]

Shays, Castle and Kirk are Republicans?

[TribalPrincess2U]

Oust the Republican traitors.

[garyhope]

The dim Dhims don’t want you to be able to defend yourself or resist the gubmint decrees. The dim Dhims want to own you. The dim Dhims hate and are afraid of anyone with a different opinon that what they decide is correct and in compliance with their commands.

The dim Dhims and the left want us all dead or subservient. The left and the Dhims are the end of the civilized world.

Keep your weapons, buy more ammo. Hide them well.

When does the armed revolution begin? How long before a military coup in America?

[TribalPrincess2U]

If they are, they have been bought off by dhim/libs.

[EdReform]

Looks like .GOV is trying to hoodwink us again...

Boy howdy:

* OFFICIAL TITLE AS INTRODUCED: To reinstate the Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act.

>>Introduced by a Republican, and co-sponsored by four Republicans.

Sir, them’s fightin’ words. How dare you refer to my Congress-critter as a Republican. Ain’t no such thing - he’s a dyed-in-the-wool RINO, tending to the left.

[B Knotts]

Shays, Castle and Kirk are Republicans?

Yep.

[TexasRepublic]

You’d think a politician would be smart enough to avoid anti-gun legislation during an election year.

[B Knotts]

It’s increasingly hard to tell the difference lately.

[Revelation 911]

I think the correct term is Republicrat, isn’t it?

I think the correct term is traitor

[rahbert]

GW Bush said he’d sign the last one that came up; wonder if thats the case now?

[Revelation 911]

IMO, its an election year posturing move

stupid fools will yet again alienate thier base for a moderate vote or two

[SVTCobra03]

The second amendment is the reset button on the Constitution.

[Sender]

I can't believe the stupidity at a time when Republicans are already being shunned by their conservative base and are having a hard time getting any donations, that five Republicans would dare to reintroduce this at this time.

I've never seen a stronger reason to never again send them a dime. This will be an election with no winner, and plenty of losers.

[556x45]

Lately...seems like a whole bunch longer than lately.

[darkangel82]

All three have ACU scores in the 30s or lower, well into ultra-RINO territory. Former conservatives Ros-Lehtinen and Freguson are headed there too.

[stevio]

Isn’t the big tent great? SOBs.

[Politicalmom]

PING!!

Please FReepmail to be added to the Congress Watch ping list.

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms. . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. . . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." -- Thomas Jefferson

[Emperor Palpatine]

The GOP needs to purge these RINOS from its ranks once and for all.

The sooner the Rockefeller wing of the GOP is smashed into a thousand pieces the better.

[Marauder]

I was going to say RINO, but “traitor” works.

What in God’s name is happening to this country?

[DuncanWaring]

Duck tape?

[MD_Willington_1976]

Are you able to contact the banglist too? if so contact them please.

I urge everyone to call up give their critters an earful!

[EdReform]

When does the armed revolution begin? How long before a military coup in America?

The seeds may be sown next week.

[andy58-in-nh]

In a nutshell: how are they choosing to define “assault weapon” for the purposes of this bill?

[EdReform]

BTTT!

[KoRn]

Looks like they are warming up for next year when we will have a far left legislative and executive branches.

[B Knotts]

The sooner the Rockefeller wing of the GOP is smashed into a thousand pieces the better.

Agreed. We may wander in the wilderness for a few years, but out of that, a stronger and more successful conservative movement will be built.

[G.Mason]

" ... When does the armed revolution begin? How long before a military coup in America?"

It seems coups are normally reserved for third world countries.

By my calendar we have a few more months to go before we get down there.

[LiveFree99]

By all means stock up on ammo while it’s available and the transportation system is still running. Be sure that your primary survival arms are in good operating condition and have an amply supply of spare parts. Stock up on high-capacity magazines while they’re still available and reasonably priced. Finally, don’t neglect accessories like cleaning supplies, slings, optical sights and the batteries to power them.

[G.Mason]

" ... I urge everyone to call up give their critters an earful!"

Of what buckshot?

They certainly don't listen to anything else.

[B Knotts]

"[The Constitution] Be never construed to authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the press, or the rights of conscience; or to prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping their own arms; or to raise standing armies, unless when necessary for the defence of the United States, or of some one or more of them; or to prevent the people from petitioning, in a peaceable and orderly manner, the federal legislature, for a redress of their grievances: or to subject the people to unreasonable searches and seizures."

-Samuel Adams, During the Massachusetts U.S. Constitution ratification convention, 1788

All the usual suspects...

Just pull-down your State and enter your zip.

[Sender]

Get all those things but don't forget about basic necessities such as lots of water, nonperishable food, lamps, fuel, batteries etc.

The ammo will be used rarely, the water and food a lot.

[Smokin' Joe]

What in God’s name is happening to this country?

The closer it gets to going down the pipe, the faster it swirls...

[Jack Black]

Your posting: Keep your weapons, buy more ammo. Hide them well. When does the armed revolution begin? How long before a military coup in America? requires a Civil War II ping. So here it is:

CW II PING !!!

[EdReform]

BTTT! Please add me to your ping list. Thanks!

[Blood of Tyrants]

The ‘Rats are trying to sneak it in before the Supreme Court rulse on the Heller case.

[stevio]

I’ve got concerns about how the USSC is going to rule.

[EdReform]

Worst Congress ever.

Indeed.

Confidence in Congress at record low

[MileHi]

rats didn’t do it, Benedict Arnolds in the Rep party did.

Heller will be done before this is even scheduled. It is what this says about the state of the republican party that fries my backside.

[PubliusMM]

My CongressCritter has generally been on the side of the Second Amendment, but I sent him a note on this one, too. Hopefully, enough interested folks will take action and we can get this one squashed before it becomes troublesome.

It’s all in the tag line...

[Noumenon]

No, the correct term is ‘traitor.’

These people are unfit to live in a free society.

[Dead Corpse]

We all do. Gonna be a nervous weekend. I'm betting a few folks will run out of Hoppes #9 cleaning and maintaining this weekend.

I plan on getting at least a couple hours worth of reloading done to top things off.
