GOP victory could backfire if empowered and ignored voters revolt

Link to the madness

Short version: Common sense gun control voters, enraged at Obama's megaloss today on gun-grabbing, will rise up in unified, righteous fury and destroy the Republicans.

Ronnie, the clinic called. Take your meds.

Oh, and that Big Lie about 90% of the public wanting more gun control? LOL!

At least 95% of American adults have reasonably good access to a firearm if needed. Now that number isn't the number of owners ~ but it's about access.

Probably upwards of 2/3 own a firearm (looking at current sales figures).

People who own guns don't vote to turn themselves into criminals.

The voters are supposed to be empowered and in charge.

I’d say 115% of Americans are trained snipers and most of those park an Abrams tank in their garages.

Lefty friends on FB already going bonkers. They’re taking a brief pause from repeated posting variations on “I ‘heart’ Boston” to express their outrage.

The people who don't want weapons are going to "rise up" and "destroy" the ones who like or don't mind weapons.

I think I see a flaw in that plan....

we just watched the C-Span video. 14 outright lies. Seven clenches of the lips. eight finger-points. All with Bobble-Head at his right hand wondering when this would end. Typical performance by his highness. Oh: also a veiled threat to accomplish their goals by EO. Leatherness and I simultaneously yelled “Bring it, butthead!”

Something the GOP had better get on RIGHT NOW is publicizing the FACT when when Obama or his minions utter the words “common sense,” they’re actually meaning that you’re about to get screwed...

It might also be a good thing to remind people that the Obama regime was trafficking guns to the drug cartels in Mexico (without the knowledge of the Mexican government) in order to point to the victims of “gun violence.” And they would have done just that, had not some BATFE agents had a sense of decency and blown the whistle on that try.

Anybody remember “common sense health care reform?” “The Affordable Care Act” is anything but! When you hear “common sense,” you know it won’t be!

Revel in your schaedenfreude, I know that I am. Screw all of those statist SOBs that want to take our property, our means of self defense and our liberty teeth.

Oh, and I'll bet that the ammo and gun shortage continues for a while - and without any increase in crime. The statists showed their true faces, and the rest of us will contiue to arm up to prevent them from EVER being able to disarm and enslave us.

Just like when Democrats talk about “compromise” they’re actually meaning “let’s do it our way”. The pathetic GOP just can’t seem to understand this.

Ah yes. The old strategy of winning by losing. Not that the GOP hasn’t tried it before.

Well, what we posted last night might just be getting closer to reality.
OFA is the personal army Obama was talking about. Time to keep an eye on them, they’ll be a formidable force. Maybe a force patroits may not be able to repel.
