But the Supes just affirmed the Lautenberg theft of rights.
Until the people revolt and re-write the constitution in absolutely unambiguous terms, there really are no rights.

Yeah that’s what I’d like to know. I gotta get the hell outta NY ASAP.
Nope, it got mentioned at CPAC tonight!
what about the rest of us that are around teh country now looking at Obama’s attempt to institute the ban again permanently?
It is coming and I am not happy about it at all.
limits on ammunition, guns, freedom to keep them .. it’s Nazi Germany in 2009
I know. I was referring to the “DC vote” being unconstitutional and Pelosi stripping the gun rights provision. Sorry if I wasn’t clear.
Did Spincter vote againt it?
They’re not going to tackle gun issues when they’re spending like drunken sailors. Give it a year or two, when they think we’re complacent and they’ll be grabbing our guns.
I’d be interested in a breakdown of the vote. I’d imagine anyone voting for this would oppose an “assault weapons” ban.
Obama’s gangsters will ban ammunition!
what about banning the assault weapons ban?
“Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? It is feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man against his own bosom. Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American. ...[T]he unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people.”
—A Pennsylvanian, The Pennsylvania Gazette, 20 February 1788
Everyone who is eligible should buy a gun and learn how to use it. Those who already own a gun should buy another one, or more. This will send a clear message to the Socialists (Democrats), RHINOs, terrorists, and other crooks. The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
Could it be that the Senators are about to go gunning for bo?

BUT....some experts say this is just cheap political posturing that will be stripped from the final bill - that it is nothing but a fig leaf for liberals.
LOL!
Completely unconstitutional.
I really doubt it. I think there is desire but no staying power.
Nancy may detect a big loss but BO will have so much destruction done by then a loss won’t matter.
My 2 Texas Senators voted the right way; the two assclowns from NJ, my former state, naturally voted to keep the citizens of DC serfs. Glad to be out of that schithole.
Glad to see that Sheets voted with us.
I think that this vote may, along with Pelosi’s statement, lead to the mature Dems saying “its just not worth it” regarding the AWB. Hopefully they realize that it is the 3rd rail. Of course, O and his crew of nutjobs think differently, and we may get the thing anyway. But I’m at least a bit encouraged by this vote, for whatever it is worth.
