Title: Hmm...I was just thinking...
Post by: graywolf on January 06, 2010, 07:51:05 AM
While I was elated to learn this morning that Chris Dodd will not be running this November, it occurred to me that with these Democratic resignations may come another tsunami of legislation including massive gun control measures.  I'm no politico, but common sense tells me that we may see another AWB attempt before they lose their control of the Senate and possibly the House in November.  So What Say You?  Oh by the way, The Second Amendment March is still on for April 19 in DC.  Check your State for your March Date.

Right on the money - this way they have nothing to lose, they already have their full salary as their retirement income, plus completely paid for (thank you again taxpayers) medical care - and not the crap they are shoving down our throats either, this will be good, high quality care. And maybe - for the good soldiers - a job on a Federal commission somewhere (more tax dollars) or an ambassadorship. In addition to  the "retirement" income.  >:(

So like MB said a week ago - nothing to lose, go all out for the whole game, wreak as much damage as you can before you leave.

There, that sounds much better.

Lots of people had that "OH SH!T" thought about the same time.  The next year is going to be INTERESTING.

Ram & Cram Legislation is not over... Keep stocking up.

Any weasel method will be attempted, buried in another "bill for the children", or just flat out rammed through. Damn the Constitutionality, (reference healthcare)...

Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence
-----------------------------

The Brady Campaign certainly isn't giving up.  Here's an excerpt from their latest missive.


Quote
ONLY A FEW DAYS LEFT: HELP US REACH 100 COSPONSORS TO CLOSE THE GUN SHOW LOOPHOLE.

Dear xxxxxxxxxx,

We are close to our goal of 100 cosponsors on H.R. 2324 by January 18, Martin Luther King Day.  We have just 16 cosponsors to go in less than two weeks!  But we need your immediate help.

Your U.S. Representative has not yet cosponsored H.R. 2324 to close the gun show loophole.  Please contact your Representative today to cosponsor this life-saving legislation.  Even if you have previously emailed your Representative to cosponsor, please do so again.

Gun control may well become a significant part of the health bill.  Guns can be hazardous.  Govt. has the authority to limit hazards (emmissions, transfats, etc.).  Therefore, govt. can/will limit guns/ammo under the pretext of making us all safer.  Makes me feel all fuzzy and warm inside.  Crap!

I mourn for my country. :'(
