Advocates hope that state-by-state progress eventually will lead to the national legislation that a year ago seemed inevitable.

Their goal is absolute disarmament as a path to absolute power. We have to fight the far left at every step, and more important take back freedom every chance we get. Fighting for a draw is a terrible strategy.

Look for another trip to the fed courts, the USSC in a special way for any future cases.

Unfortunately, our “representatives” are Republicans. We are lucky when they don’t give up ground.

Do these people have a problem with cars being sold in Newtown because of all of the car related deaths?

They can KMA.

“Reasonable Republican” = Quisling

The Bill of Rights is NOT negotiable!

The Left will not stop until the people of this country are disarmed. We cannot “work with them”, they must be Defeated.

“Their goal is absolute disarmament as a path to absolute power. We have to fight the far left at every step, and more important take back freedom every chance we get. Fighting for a draw is a terrible strategy.”

That’s a fact. I will expand on your last comment, though: Fighting for a draw is losing.

“Their goal is absolute disarmament as a path to absolute power.”

Nailed it! America’s own home grown fascism on display.

“The Left will not stop until the people of this country are disarmed. We cannot ‘work with them’, they must be Defeated.”

And they will not cease their tyranny until they are, in fact, defeated and destroyed. The utter destruction of leftist dogma and ideology must be our goal.

The problem is that the left controls the levers of power in that they own almost all of the media and all of the educational establishment. It’s an uphill fight on our part, that’s for sure.

I saw protestors at Sarah Palins address in Nashville several years ago. There were like 7 of them but they made national news feeds.

I have long thought and said there are only two kinds of people who support gun control. Those that are woefully, willfully ignorant of the facts; and powoer hungry fascists who want a disarmed populace that will be easier to control. To you lib lurkers out there, this is you. There is no third option, there is no middle ground.

Fortunately we have Romney, McCain, and Boehner to lead the way.

This thread has just added to the FreeRepublic "bang list" (firearms interest list) by adding the keyword "banglist".

Any time a firearms-related thread is created on FreeRepublic, please be sure to add the "banglist" keyword to it so that interested FReepers don't miss it. Just a suggestion.

Did you see any "Occupy" protesters? Many of them don't do socks, and almost none have any interest in soap. These people are not like us, and they are not clean in mind or body.
