NRA President David Keene believes President Barack Obama and other Democrats who want to expand gun control have been shocked by the outpouring of support for Second Amendment.
Speaking to Newsmax TV at CPAC 2013, Keene said former president Bill Clinton was right when he warned Obama around Christmas last year to tread carefully as he considered expanding gun restrictions.
“(Gun control proposals were) one of the main reason for Republicans seizing the House in 1994. Americans care about the Second Amendment and president is seeing that,” Keene said. Keene was in Albany recently following the passage of expanded gun control in New York. There, he witnessed more than 10,000 braving the rain to protest the expanded laws, which he believes sent a strong message to the president and Democrats.
“There are rallies like that all over the country. Members of Congress are receiving lots of letters. It’s clear the narrative that the president tried to construct was wrong. That’s the reason that a lot of what (Obama) proposed is being slowed down,” Keene said.

The other factor that changed since 1994 is women joined the ranks of gunowners. NRA did a good job getting women to understand guns and its ability to protect them. Now the NRA just recruited a talented black man from YouTube to make inroads into the black community why the need guns to take on crime in their gun control inner city communities. Hope the NRA makes effort so in ten years we have more women and blacks accept guns and own guns. This will make it even harder for the Dems to outlaw any type of guns.
What to kill any “gun control” bills. Attach a “Violent Entertainment Tax” to it. 10% of the gross of all movies, video games and actor’s salaries that promote the use “violence”.
Use the same crap that libs use against us — “its for the children”, use this money for “education”, “stop the 1% elitist Hollywood rich from profiting from the violence against our kids”, etc, etc.

New York State govt is full of criminals.
Clinton was right - it gave us Newt on the 104th congress
Give them time.
In 1965, 42.4% of the entire population smoked cigarettes and no one even complained about the smell.
They're shocked by 2nd amendment support, much like the democrat dominated kkk was shocked by support for the 13th and 14th amendments.
That's an excellent comparison, Impala64ssa.
If you wanted to join the Ku Klux Klan, you could find a klavern to join, though you might have to drive quite a distance to attend meetings, and would have to understand more than a few of your fellow Klansmen were actually FBI agents and informants.
You could probably find someone to say kind things about George Wallace, who stood in the school house door and proclaimed, "Segregation now! Segregation tomorrow! Segregation forever!" though its likely the kind words would pertain to his frankness and determination rather than the beliefs he was so frank and determined about. To be both realistic and fair, he was, indeed, a man with the courage of his convictions; further, late in life, he mustered enough additional courage publicly to recant segregationism. How far would you have to look to find anyone to speak up for Jim Crow laws? Quite some distance, I believe.
I submit, ladies and gentlemen, you couldn't find anyone in America to advocate leaving the question of slavery up to the states rather than the national government, nor anyone to advocate slavery at all.
Once in a great while, an issue is settled once and for all. It's done. It's finished. Easily or painfully, quickly or slowly, some issues are resolved. My father's mother remained a Women's Christian Temperance Union member all her life, but abandoned all thought of seeing Prohibition restored. She never once smoked a cigarette or drank a beer, nor passed up opportunities to needle my father and myself, but eventually accepted Prohibition's popularity had been lost forever.
I believe the time will come, probably much sooner than most of us believe, when the ideology that calls itself "liberalism" and "progressivism" will be every bit as solidly and utterly finished as slavery, Jim Crow, Prohibition, and the assumption it was constitutionally acceptable to inter American citizens of Japanese descent during World War II. Bad ideas do get crossed off the national list, though it often seems the worse the idea, the longer and more viciously it persists. I believe the time will come when America will once and for all turn its back on Marxism in all its numerous forms and guises and disguises. We, the people will look around, shake our heads in amazement, and tell one another, "Wow. That was really stupid, wasn't it?"
The only question in my mind is how many million Americans the leftist extremists will need to murder before the horror becomes apparent to one and all.
These Democrats are nothing but a bunch of fascist bastards everyone of them. The Clinton administration tried taking the 2nd. Amendment to court arguing that it didn’t allow the individual the right to own a firearm. John Ashcroft successfully argued on behalf of the people saying it did guarantee that right. I hate democrats, every stinking one of them.
What the dem bullies really fear is that individuals will use their 2nd Amendment rights to take back some of the power that has been stolen from them thru the years by the elitists who have controlled the politicians via the power of the pursestrings.
Which reminds me of a question. What kind of investigation was conducted into the Harvey Milk death and the other California politician? I seem to think a certain prominent anti-gun liberal Senator just happened to be in the right place at the right time to get a tremendous career growth opportunity from those unfortunate events. Coincidence?

I'm reasonably familiar with the case. A pal of mine who was on a tank crew with me in the army partnered with him as a San Francisco cop.
But you left out one other event worth close scrutiny, at which he was also present, on September 5, 1975.
In a lot of those rural enclaves, many households do not have internet, and the old radio stations are still controlled by Democrats.
I grew up in Northern Wisconsin. It is a very conservative, pro-Constitution area. I cannot get conservative talk radio. None of the local stations have it. Any conservative views have to come from the few conservative voices on Fox, and many do not have cable. Internet is harder to get in rural areas.
It is all about control of the information flow, and the MSM has controlled most of the information for decades.
I can't tell what I left out from your tease. Care to elucidate?
They don't seem to care much about the Article II natural born Citizen clause in the Constitution.
Yes, but we MUST get rid of the old. squishy RINOs like McConnell, Boehner, Cantor — the RINO leaders in the House and Senate. Otherwise these idiots will throw it all away as they have done repeatedly in the past. RINOs are Donkey-lite and they cannot be trusted. RINOs sellout in a New York minute.

I would believe it. I was listening to some ham radio operator a few years ago on my shortwave radio, and he was going down to the mat with another ham defending Democrats. It was that old tired “they’re fer the werk’n man!” argument. This guy was somewhere in Ohio. I cringed.
I knew there was something I forgot.
