The best bet here is to launch a recall drive of the weakest of the Democrat state legislators. The Democrats got control with in their house with five freshmen who are likely very nervous about keeping their seats.
So those are the first five to challenge in a recall drive. Then select several others who won only by slim margins.
If five of them defect and refuse to support anti-gun laws, then the whole ball of wax melts.

The LEO in this story could have turned and walked away, but instead charged the guy with 5 felonies. Don’t be too comfortable in your belief.
According to some I’ve talked to, they “don’t care about morality.” They “only enforce the law.” Not like the police of the past. Quite a few of their political organizations, BTW, are much of the influence behind gun control, but they do like to appear to political conservatives to be conservative. Some of them even like to ask veterans if those veterans are “like Tim McVeigh.” Our country has changed.
If this is signed into law, before the ink is dry the gun banners will be back demanding a tougher law.
AW laws are just an attempt to get their anti-gun foot in the door so they can go after their real target. The same target they have been after for the last fifty years, handguns.

“I’m convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We’re going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily given the political realities going to be very modest.
Of course, it’s true that politicians will then go home and say, ‘This is a great law. The problem is solved.’ And it’s also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time.
So then we’ll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we’d be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal total control of handguns in the United States is going to take time.
My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered.
And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors totally illegal.”

Latinos by and large embrace socialism. I don’t know why, but they do, and it is an historical reality. And they are not going to change.
Let’s face it, folks: the United States is fast becoming Venezuela. So, “let ‘er rip,” and let the chips fall where they may.
In exactly three words: nullification and secession.
Too many Catholic priests embrace socialistic views.

I just say to Colorado: Go ahead, pass it, and watch what happens.
Hispanics are a strongly leftist voting block and one that is growing at an astounding pace. These are people that largely supported collectivist government in Mexico (returning the socialist PRI to power for 70+ years straight) and are simply voting the same way here.
If (or I should perhaps say when) the STHF, based on the demographics described above not only in CO but also in TX, AZ, and a number of other state, I predict that civil unrest & violence will be along both ideological lines (libs/socialists versus conservatives/patriots) AND along ethnic lines.....Black liberals/NAACP types/leftist Hispanics/Muslims versus Whites/Asians.
As Thomas Jefferson so accurately predicted, the tree of liberty will be watered with the blood of tyrants & their supporters, along with the blood of patriots. Who will win in this epic battle is still uncertain.
Good to know. Everyone’s going to have to choose sides. Whether they want to or not.
“There are just not enough white people moving to the GOP fast enough to offset the explosive growth of minority populations. We see the result in Colorado, and we will soon be locked out of Nevada, Virginia and even North Carolina because of this.”
The Incredible Shrinking Party...
As I’ve mentioned in a few other posts, the Republican party has now become a “regional” party rather than a national one. There are some states that are “forever lost” to the Pubbies, and others “on the verge”, such as the ones you mentioned above.
Republicans will continue to have influence in D.C. for a while longer — enough to block some legislation, but not enough to again assume the reigns of power. Kind of like the Republicans fared in California for the last 15-20 years before last November’s election which all-but wiped them out.
The best hope for conservatives is to congregate themselves into the remaining red states, in enough numbers so that their strength therein will be secure, at least for the next few decades.
After that...?
“Too many Catholic priests embrace socialistic views.”
There is much truth in that statement.
The best hope for conservatives is to congregate themselves into the remaining red states, in enough numbers so that their strength therein will be secure, at least for the next few decades.
Sadly, this is about how I suspect things will play out.
After that...?
I think if this scenario plays out it spells the decline of America. The country will remain, but the great experiment will be over. Asia would likely be the future - China and India in particular. Who knows, they may copy some of what America did right and continue to shed the socialist polices that kept those countries down for so long.
In many ways the best hope is that the left oversteps sooner rather than later and causes an uprising of traditional and conservative people. Maybe such a thing would capture the imagination of the greater public and change the course of history. I doubt that will happen though.
