When Minnesota passed shall-issue, we had a GOP House and a Democrat Senate. The leadership of the Democrat Senate played every underhanded, sneaky, and fundamentally unethical trick in the book, trying to keep the bill from coming to the floor.
Because they knew that when it came to a vote on the floor, there’d be enough pro-gun Democrats to pass it.
And there were.
Never underestimate how strongly the Democrat leadership opposes gun rights, as they oppose every other form of individual freedom and liberty.
But never underestimate the number of Democrats who strongly disagree with their leadership on these issues.
‘Duoc khong voi ong?
Translate, please? My Vietnamese is too stale, and Vietnamese can get lost in translation without those diacritical marks. If Obama loses, then “Xin loi minh oi” gets retired for a second time. It’s replacement will be, “Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, free at last”!’
However, that wasn't because Clinton was reasonable...that was because he was pressed to the wall by the Repubs and his scandals.
People forget...but we had scandal after scandal all throughout the 90's. And there was also real fear present because defense was weak and people knew something big was going to happen. And it did...largely due to the laxity under Clinton.
