The ground war over gun control after the Newtown, Conn. massacre has begun. Across the country, members of Congress are being hit with grassroots campaigns and ads aimed at pushing them to one side or the other in the current debate over gun violence.
On Friday, the remnants of President Obamas reelection campaign will hold its first Day Of Action since the November election, rallying its millions of supporters to join the call for gun control legislation at grassroots events nationwide

Here is a new Free Republic thread featuring a new essay and 5-minute YouTube video titled Democide: Socialism, Tyranny, Guns and Freedom. The video has had 16,000 views in the first two days. Now the commie rat bastards have discovered it, and they are NOT happy.

I helped to produce the video. Its an effort to lift the debate from Newtown small ball to the big leagues of state democide, where these efforts at reasonable and commonsense gun control laws always lead to death by the million in the end.
I think this is going to be like the “gay marriage” paradigm, where the public does not want it, but legislators, governors and judges do, so defy the public will, create it anyway, forcing the public to expend great effort to overturn it, if they can. While being fought every inch of the way by the minority that wants it.
“...Our forefathers would have been shooting by now.”
I don’t think so, but soon. Our forefathers started shooting when they were shot at when the British were trying to disarm them.
It is my belief that they will just issue felony warrants on all known gun owners and depend upon the state troopers, et al to bring you in. Once you drive to work or take a Sunday drive with the family, all the police have to do is run your plate, see the outstanding warrant, and pull you over or call for backup.
You gonna risk a firefight with your family in the car? You wanna get out of jail? Turn in turn in your gun.
Proffessional calligrapher here:
it has to do with the fact the document in question was hand written and double “s” - ss - was writen so it appeared as - ff - but was actually the double long version of “s”. Double “ff” has a cross bar but the double “ss” does not. So, Cletus darling...you misspelled the word when you used “f”.
Some letters written in that particular letter style, sometimes called ‘Italic’, have different versions: “g” has two styles; the combination of “ts” has a connection that makes it appear tall, as does the double “tt”.
The dims here in Colorado are doing a pretty good job of disarming us all by themselves...
I cant believe how far this western used to be deep red state has fallen in such a short period of time.
As I've ranted in similar threads concerning amending the Constitution, please consider the following.
Constitution-ignoring Democrats have to keep the Constitution's Article V amendment process out of the public agenda. This is because they cannot afford for Constitution-ignorant voters to be made aware that only the states, not the federal government, can ratify proposed amendments to the Constitution, the states thus having absolute control over the federal government. After all, if such knowledge became widespread then it would undoubtedly throw a monkey wrench into the Democratic agenda to unconstitutionally centralize government power in DC.
I looked-can find only one law in the Constitution about them guns......all the rest are repugnant to the Constitution therefore null and void.
Forgot who said “DEATH TO TYRANTS”, guess its back to the library.
When Odumbo sends his first crew to take away guns and those who try doing so are shot at or worse, killed, all hell will break loose

According to the lib logic, if you disarm lawful gun owners in the suburbs, inner city feral drug dealing yutes in the inner city will stop killing each other.
Yeah, right.
What will happen after lawful gun owners are disarmed is that the inner city drug dealing feral yutes will now be free to roam the untapped suburbs with impunity and kill you.
This will make the gun violence stats more diverse and fair.
Dead right. This is about their anger.
I am convinced of that.
Years ago I read an article someone wrote laying out his opinion that "gun control" was not about safety/violence/guns or anything like that. It was about punishment.
It was simply an easy way for the left to severely punish the right for their being so wrongheaded and refusing to correct their thinking. They knew it was something we cared very deeply about, so that made it the perfect thing to attack.
Nor can I. I lived in Colorado for 5 years as a kid, (1955-60) and it was a very western sort of place. I had a blast doing stuff that is probably very illegal there now.
I get the impression it is the decay of Denver that is the root of it all. Read about the Amish mobs targeting people downtown, the illegals running amok, etc.
Other otherwise normal states like Oregon have similar issues where one large city dominates the political climate in spite of the nature of the people.
What did you know about Ruby Ridge or Waco while it was happening?
All you knew then was what the news media fed you. That Randy Weaver was a member of a neo nazi racist organization that sold illegal weapons and was holed up in his compound after shooting and killing federal agents sent to legally arrest him for his crimes.
The news media during Waco told us that Koresh was an extremist religious cult leader that manufactured drugs, sold illegal weapons, had a harem of young girls and abused children. He and his cult members opened fire on government agents sent to legally arrest him for his crimes and killed them in an ambush.
In response to these actions we held hearings and the facts came out. The hearings didn't come to the conclusions that some of us thought they should, but in the end the public was satisfied that the problems with the government were solved.
The federal government declaring that every one in the state of Texas, Idaho or Pennsylvania that owns a gun is now a felon and can now be arrested or shot is a whole different can of worms. There won't be any waiting...waiting... waiting. It will be tick, tick, tick.
unfortunately I think it is not only the denver/boulder influence, but the influx of illegals. I hardly recognize the place sometimes. The southern burbs are still deep blue though. Sheriff Weaver of douglas county ( where I live) is one of the sheriffs pledging to fight illegal limitation of second amendment rights.
Yikes! should proof read. Make that the southern burbs are still deep RED.
congress critters watch msnbc.
they have all seemed to side with background check PERMANENT registration (vs the current 90 day only record rule)
and 10 round limits.
lets not get Mccained.
No. I know what you mean. We are red, white and blue.
Commie bastards are RED!
