Whatever the case, those who attack the freedom of innocent, law abiding Americans are tyrants.

As I implied in my post, I don’t know if it will be a victory or an albatross. It’ll let the wind out of their sails somewhat. And anger a lot of Republican voters.

And an overreaching, corrupt central government.


Yep. That’s why I’d like it seriously reduced in size and scope. It exists for a very limited list of reasons:

1. Protect the member states from enemies (our borders and war).
2. Protect the member countries from each other. Louisville can’t attack Cincinnati.
3. Get involved when someone violates the laws of one state and then flees to another.

That’s it.

After the Democrat government assault at Waco that killed children.....

No gun control.

Never.

The Democrats want to commit politicide against us.

The only thing preventing it is that they are afraid of our weapons.

Which of the last 20 mass shootings in the U.S. would your proposed law have stopped?

When the answer is "ZERO", SHUT UP ABOUT YOUR PROPOSED LAW!!!

“..Notice he didn’t say they will pass any laws. He just said it will be front and center...”

I’d prefer him to say it would be “DOA”, instead of word games.

We’re too far gone for word games.

- -

Congress is all about word games. If Mitch flat out said it’s DOA, he gives the Rats in the DNC/MSM exactly the sound bite they want to both hammer Republicans as soulless bastards and gin up their base to take over the Senate. Instead he gives them a statement they can’t propagandize on and yet nothing is actually promised.

And that's the kicker. They intend to take everything. Even that old single shot 22 that belonged to your granddad. They want it all. Then, they come for you.

Make sure, to begin with, that there is a clear and defined identification of what makes up an “assault weapon”.

I do not presume, I do not assume, that everybody even agrees what an “assault weapon” is. Is it fists? Is it a club resembling a baseball bat? Is it a switchblade knife? Is it a box cutter? It is a motor vehicle with some off-road capability and a reinforced frontal brush bars? Is it an aircraft piloted by someone on a suicide mission? Is it a bomb vest? Is it an “improvised explosive device” (IED)? None of these in any way, shape, form, or manner resembles a device that fires a projectile from a barrel with sometimes considerable kinetic force, of size and conformation that it may be held in the grip of a hand.

Settle the definitions first. THEN we will consider means of making rules for the care, feeding, grooming, storage, and properly acceptable use for these various devices, products of the ingenuity of man.

Wow. Got a lot of responses.

I didn’t think about what you said and it would make sense.

Politics is a nasty game.

I don’t have the temperament for it and I wouldn’t want all of the temptations that go with it.

We need to put cell phones “front and center”! Tired of playing dodgeball on America’s freeways/highways/roads with those texting and riding (they are not driving!

Yes, cuban leaf posted a similar thought.

I hope you’re both right.
