Why push for gun control has stalled

Support for stricter gun laws hasn’t jumped as fast or as far in recent weeks as many liberals had hoped and expected. If you’re wondering why, maybe the reason is the shakiness of the public’s trust in government itself.

Then on Nov 06, 2012, those same knuckleheads voted for more government. I don’t trust or respect my fellow Americans anymore. In fact, I find most of them are fools.

I’m pretty sure most feminazis would support that policy.

Yes. And only hunger and suffering will cause them to re-evaluate their situation.

There is no way that the current spending can continue much longer. There will be dire consequences.

My optometrist confided to me that he had bought a Sig Sauer and acted like he was admitting to something naughty.

Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Lions and tigers and big Viking kittens.
ARs and AKs and metal that rings,
These are a few of my favorite things.

America is holding a referendum on the matter as we speak, and we're voting with our pocketbooks. Guns are absolutely flying off the shelves all across the nation. We're not buying them to turn them in, either.

0bama's people will try it, though, they can't help themselves, moths to a flame. They're hoping if they can get something in place by hook or by crook quickly that the media have until 2014 to make people forget. What they will face is not a million people in the streets, nor a fusillade of lead for the enforcers, although I'd be glad to be wrong there. What they will face is widespread civil disobedience. Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

May I add, I only Fear a Government that doesn't Fear me.

The Good Germans Voted for their Fuhrer on November 6th, but unlike the German People of 1935, we remain an Armed Society where our RIGHTS come from God Almighty, not from a bunch of slimy Politicians, Tyrants in Black Robes or a skinny Kenyan Marxist with a Mussolini Complex.

It strikes me that the NY Post has a total grasp of the obvious! Give them the Captain Obvious award.

I think it’s because more people than leftists expected spent five minutes or so thinking about the situation and concluded that the only person responsible for the killings shot himself afterwards.

Don’t think for one minute that the Gov’t isn’t working day and night on a way to take control of all guns and ammo. This has been their mission for years. I light of the Sandy hook crisis (”Never let a crisis go to waste”), their iron is hot and it is time to strike. As I see it, it is a timing issue of “when” to strike. Our government is very handy at keeping things from the people and this is one time they are doing a good job of it. Don’t be too egar for the sh@@ to hit the fan, just be prpared.
