This is more truth then you realize, we are after all the enemy. You know the taxpaying law abiding gun owners that is.
Did it stop Obamacare?
I have a few “Mosquito’s” that should find it. :^)
From what I understand, any modifications to the National Firearms Act, for example, re-defining those “eeeeevil assault weapons”;) as Class III, will necessitate scrapping the entire Act and re-writing it completely, then sending it back to Congress for ratification.
>>I think Solzhenitsyn kind of addressed that subject.
I keep the operative quote on my FR profile page, along with a number of others.
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

LOL; that’ll work, too.
We could play that game for awhile.
No.But the Dems held the House, Senate and Oval Office. And AWB1 cost them the House in ‘95. That got through a Dem House by 3 votes, and it needed a sunset provision. I think Obama wants the R’s to squash it, or get something so watered down as to be nearly meaningless, so he can campaign on getting rid of them in 2014. His best case scenario...and America’s worst...is another 2 years of House, Senate and Presidency.
