“...this one isn’t going to slide. there will be political consequences in 2014 for allowing this bill to pass in 2013.”
No there won’t. No politician will want to be connected to guns - guns are not cool now as of last Friday. A stand up figure in a dept. store in Dallas of Chuck Norris holding two guns was taken down due to complaints by customers. One good word about a gun and you are toast.
I have already informed my congressman that I appreciate all his past support for the second amendment and look forward to his future support for the second amendment. I can absolutely guarantee you that he will not be voting for this BS. We haven’t spent the last 20 years packing our local, state, and federal governments with pro-second amendment legislators for no reason. Betray us at your own peril.
