If you’ve put Joe Biden in charge of anything, it’s destined to fail by design or through Biden’s incompetence.

Representative Thompson (D) of California remembers where he was on Dec. 14, the day of the Newtown, Conn., school shooting. He was in a duck blind, back home in his Napa Valley district.

Fascinating. Please note however, that the topic under discussion isn't hunting. The topic is the Right To Keep and Bear Arms. Because sometimes people need to rise up against tyranny. Like when political elites try to take our guns. That's when the guns become really important. Anyway, Mr Representative -- you were saying ...?

“Get” to yes? These are practically fighting words for me. “Getting To Yes” is Cass Sunstein’s second or third book, I think, on manipulation & exploitation. I detest this SOB. I don’t know if he coined the term “get” or not, but I will always associate it with him now.

If they pass this it is going to be SOOOOOO much fun watching all the anguish and the Monday morning quarterbacking after they get their heads handed to them in the ‘14 midterms.

If memory serves, the guy who shot up Sandy Hook was not a duck.

“Federal law prohibits me from having more than three shells in my shotgun,”

Wrong! Law restricts you to 3 rounds for HUNTING and there needs to be a block in the tube to keep you down to 3.

My Remington 870 tactical doesn’t even have a plug and it has an extended tube, allowing me to lord with one on the chamber and 6 in the tube. If I ever want to hunt with it, I’ll put a wooden dowel in the tube.

Did you mean, "in a basket" ?

I guess I shouldn’t have used the word “wrong”. But hunting shouldn’t even have a place in this conversation.

“....federal law provides more protection for the ducks than it does for people, he said”

It’s not to protect the ducks, you nitwit, it’s to minimize skyblasting.

The logic of his nitwittery is that limiting magazine capacity will help protect the lives of crooks!

What a maROON!!!

“Because sometimes people need to rise up against tyranny.”

Obama supports the people of Libya, Egypt, and Syria right to own and use assault weapons, but not his own citizens.

How Democrats might get to 'yes' on gun control

I would like to print this out on a baseball bat and beat my gun owning friends that voted democrat and swore up and down that democrats were now pro-gun and the gun grabbers were a small minority who had "learned their lesson" after the 1994 AWB. This was all too well planned out, all these gun control bill just happening to be written and ready to go for just the right "crisis". This has been in the works for a long, long time. If we survive this with a majority of our gun rights intact I hope these people NEVER FORGET.

How Democrats might get to 'yes' on gun control

Dear Mr./Ms. Democrat: How many law-abiding American citizens are you willing to kill, by yourself, up close and personal, to achieve your gun control objectives?

Both Thompson and Mr. Biden, the leader of the president’s own task force, are lifelong gun owners who are quick to point out that no, the federal government is absolutely not coming to seize your arms.

Cough...Cough...where have I been lied too like that recently (under Obamacare you will absolutely NOT lose your current health insurance plan). Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

“Federal law prohibits me from having more than three shells in my shotgun,” Thompson said Monday at the liberal Center for American Progress (CAP). “So federal law provides more protection for the ducks than it does” for people, he said, referring to ammunition magazines that can hold 30 or more bullets.

So you are being assaulted by four thugs but can only legally have three rounds in your shotgun? Remind me again who the law is protecting?

That is correct. The law is if you are hunting that ridiculous dowel must be in the tube to limit the number rounds in the tube to three.

You can have all the shells you want in it if you are not hunting.

I don’t understand that retarded law at all.

And he was shot with a Röhm 6 shot .22 revolver....

No high capacity mag...No "assault" weapon.
