Team POTUS will make a feeble attempt at regulating ammo just as the PRC(people’s republic of CA) is doing.

I've heard there have been a lot of older hunters who are mostly sane, except they support gun control against hand guns, tactical rifles and shotguns because they are scared of laws coming against their hunting guns.

I do not think it is limited to older people or any single group, just short-sighted people who allow liberals to divide us.

You see, there are some who think that if we throw some gun enthusiasts under the bus, the liberals will stop their calls for bans. It is the same thinking that if we give them the Brady Bill, they will not go for complete bans.

Liberals never stop. Each restriction of our rights is just another step towards their ultimate goal of total disarmament of everyone except the elites.

In the bigger cities, you will hear that police found a cache of weapons including "sniper rifles". Those "sniper rifles" are nothing more than hunting rifles with optics. It demonstrates that liberals will never leave hunters alone, even if everything else is banned first.

We either stand together as firearm owners or we allow the liberals to divide and conquer us.

Let the damned fool push for Gun Control.

He may as well walk to the Metro station and sit down on the third rail.

More drivel from Newsweak.

The core problem was the sheriff’s dereliction of duty.

Graham AND McCain will probably go along with it. You know they’d strain every muscle in their back to bend over in the name of bipartisanship.

When are people going to learn that this is how they roll...

Nothing is ever off the table...Things like this require a great amount of patience, mis-direction and disregard of personal freedom...

Lets hope we destroy this effort with a full accounting of where our elected officials fall on this...

NO MATTER WHAT!!! THERE IS NO COMMON SENSE TO TAKING AWAY OUR RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS!!!

What is your definition of “older generation”? I’m 58. Most hunters I know of my generation are sane, own hunting rifles, handguns, shotguns and tactical rifles. Heck, most of us have been stocking up on new weapons, magazines and ammo for the last couple of years now! Vast majority of ones I know have concealed handgun licenses and support state and national gun rights groups, too. I’m not “scared of laws coming against hunting guns”. What I fear is rise of younger generations who seem to lack a clear understanding of the foundations of our Liberty and the fact that God Almighty grants our Rights - not government. Government is suppose to secure them. My dad fought in WWII and I was drafted and served honorably during Viet Nam. My father's grandparents were legal immigrants from Germany and did not refer to themselves as hyphenated German-Americans after they became U.S. citizens. On my mother's side of family, I have an old family Bible from the Civil War Era that lists many of my distant relatives who fought and died for the cause of freedom. I Thank the Lord we have young brave people who serve in the military today. I have no fear of these leftist idiots in office because the “older generation” I look up to wrote the following:

“...We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. ...”

The Second Amendment helps guarantee we have a few tools at hand to deal with the above situation should things get totally out of hand. And, I hope it does not. Let’s just say, I don’t intend to get into the FEMA van if one ever pulls up to my front door!

“So it’s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." - 0

Yeah well, it’s not surprising, liars and… Photobucket Ain’t gonna happen in the USA, Jack.

I still think this is wishful thinking on the part of the gun controllers and their Marxist media friends who are trying to push this issue in the press.

Gun control is a major loser for the DimRats and no new gun control is going to pass the House, so all they’ll do is expose themselves as the gun controllers they really are, and yet not manage to pass any actual legislation.

The consummate Obama "Never waste a good crisis!!"

How very low, crass and Machiavellian the man is, is beyond what we have come to expect or observed in American politics.
Indeed he is a disciple of all that are the evils that marks a communist.
