Missteps and setbacks impacting gun ban momentum as gun owners start to advance
Examiner ^ | David Codrea

Posted on 01/09/2013 3:49:21 PM PST by philetus

n spite of Vice President Joe Biden’s threat in this morning’s gun grab task force meeting that “executive actions” are on the way, the legitimacy and survivability of such a move is by no means assured, as the gun ban juggernaut, reanimated following Sandy Hook, has encountered some unforeseen bumps in the road that have the potential of halting it in its tracks with no place to go that isn’t blocked.

I’ve heard rumors that the response to gun grabbers will be targeted and surgical. Has anyone else heard this?

We didn’t have the internet to work with back in 1993-94 either. Talk radio and that was essentially it.

Libs pass laws creating gun free zones, then blame lawful gun owners & NRA when it doesn’t work. Turn it around & put the blame on them.

It's hard to believe anyone who owns a gun would vote for Obama, but since he won the election and since we are told he won it decisively, there must be a bunch of such folks. So we have the following conundrum, 88% of the households in the USA own guns and 51% of the people voted for Obama. I just can't make this work in my mind.

"Too bad more people didn't respond before this a-hole was elected and reelected!"

The roll call votes of each and every single politician, name by name, Republican and Democrat, Senate and House, Assembly of every state with gun control bills, will be adequately revealed and repeated. There will be no successful distraction, bait and switch with empty repeal promises.

Start by repealing the idiotic portions of the NFA ‘34 and GCA ‘68.

I am at a loss as to know what parts of either of those two misbegotten unconstitutional congressional brain-farts aren't idiotic.

“... the realistic odds of a new ban passing this Congress is unlikely IMPO....”

Who said anything about Congress? This EMERGENCY is too DIRE, too CRITICAL to wait for congress. The ENTIRE country is in an uproar over all of these school shootings - I saw it on ABCNBCCBSALJEZERA. Dear Leader must stop the guns NOW! I mean - they already held a panel discussion on it - that should be enough. (Heck - Congress never reads any of the bills they vote on anyway!)

Gun owners are genuinely PO’ed at these idiot wannabe dictators. We’re ticked at the entire leftist notion that you must punish the many for the wrongful actions of the few. Tens of millions of gun owners in the US did NOT go on a shooting spree in a school in CT - ever!

Seeing how this government wants to destroy our freedoms, our God-given rights, should there be anything BUT backlash against these fascist/communist punks?

I am in Mississippi also... born and raised here and proud of it and know it well. We will have Voter ID in the next election... holder protected his kenyan with his ruling in 2012. I “know” several obama voters... two black and two white. The blasck are self evident. Both whites are teachers... one at USM and one at LSU. I am a business man and have been for 40 years... I know many people... four of them are dims. I DO NOT ASSOCIATE WITH THEM. :-)

The ONLY gun law this country should have is a simple background check.

At work yesterday everyone was asking who would be the best person to be our local militia leader. We are still looking for the right person as we don’t have a veteran from the sandbox. We might have to just wing it with aan education of what is required to basically teach new recruits on how to take orders, how to orchestrate maneuvers and marksmanship.

Plus a staging area for supplies. We have some connex containers and a parking lot, plus the internet for boot camp procedures.

The good news is all of us are arguably better armed than anyone could understand, seriously armed, we prepped for the last ten years.

I hope that jug-eared, herpes infected, satan worshiping, lying, scheming, communist evilcrat, anal leaking fagot tries an EO. Like a oozing boil on the arse of America... he has festered long enough. We need a Constitutional crisis... one that we can win... and this time IT WILL BE PATRIOTS THAT WILL NOT LET IT GO TO WASTE!

Does this nation have a rule of law or not?

Is that a serious question?

I worked on the Voter ID petition drive in Northwest Ms., DeSoto county and the Delta, as well as on the Gulf Coast. I don’t believe the DOJ will approve it anywhere they have the power to deny it as long as the democrats hold the Presidency. They are now talking about mandated early voting in all federal elections and no one standing in line over an hour. I’m sure before their through the’ll get around to no ID required, register when you vote, etc. The brennan justice Center at NYU fights any effort to eliminate ant voter or election fraud, one of their anti-VoterID papers concluded with “Voter ID only makes a difference in the close elections anyway” Look at the “close elections” in the swing states that tipped the last election. I no longer have faith in our electorial process and can’t really see it getting much better.

Yes, with NO records kept. Persons who have lost or otherwise forfeit their right to own or carry should be placed on a national list and that would be checked first. This list should be kept in a way that a person would have access to know if they’re on the list and why and a procedure to appeal, un-like the no-fly list.

If you are correct, I suggest you buy guns and ammo. I have prepared for what you say for 30 years. I pray that you are wrong but I prepare for the worst.
