A Looming Threat: A Major U.S. Vulnerability.

[pioneer]

Here comes the latest attempt to impose a so-called "assault weapon" ban.  Senator Frank Lautenberg, along with his willing accomplices in the Brady Campaign (AKA: Handgun Control), has released a "study" entitled "Firearms, Explosives and terrorists:  A Looming Threat:  A Major U.S. Vulnerability."

The recent Heller and McDonald Supreme Court rulings, confirmed our Second Amendment rights, but because of the necessary narrow focus, left the door open for restrictions on our rights.  We knew this fight was coming and here it is. 

The NRA, SAF, GOA, JPFO, etc needs your help.  If not already a member of one or more of the gun rights groups, please join.  We need your help.  These law suits to protect our rights are expensive. 

By the way, if Harry Reid looses his Senate seat on Tuesday, and IF the Democrats keep the Senate majority, Frank Lautenberg will be the Senate Majority Leader, able to call the shots in regards to legislation.

This means nothing.
If you want to find a truly frightening threat, consider a Dem majority in both houses and the White house with nothing to lose but their lives. Between election day and inauguration day they will try to cram through all sorts of stuff, Gun control is a maybe, but an amnesty for illegal aliens is almost guaranteed.

Nothing will happen except for a lot of licking of wounds, and a massive reorganization of the dems, which will take months, if not years. The last thing these people will do is stage a Rocky Balboa comeback.   Bill T.

I posted a reply in another thread that is covering the same subject.
It was a reply to you so I'm sure you'll find it

That doesn't add up for many reasons. First off, if they were going to do that, it would make sense to do it now, while they have the voted in majorities, not wait to piss off the people even further during a lame duck session after they just got they're clocks cleaned. The dems have admitted they don't have the support for Amnesty. They'll have far less after the election. If they then decide to adapt a "we've got nothing to lose" attitude they'll need the support of any and all dems who survive next Tuesday. No way they'll commit political suicide by joining the ones who were ousted. That would be like committing suicide after surviving a plane crash.

At the moment the dems are all but engaged in an inner party civil war. The far left factions of that party are destroying it from within. The moderates like Clinton don't have a strategic defense. They do have the votes, but this election that won't help them because the damage has already been done. If they continue to push for more liberal policies after they get pasted next Tuesday, it will further the separation within their own party. If you think about it the dems are far more divided between the far left and the moderates in their own party, than the Republicans are with the Tea Party. They can and will find common ground, while the dems will continue to unravel from within. Hussein will spearhead that movement because he doesn't care. He wants his agenda passed, but he has to fight his own party, along with the American people to do it. That is why nothing will happen. Especially with Reid and Pelosi gone. The lousy 2 1/2 months from defeat to swearing in will pass with nothing more than a lot of political infighting. They're, (the dems), are simply too disorganized. It will only get worse when they fall like dominoes and realize it was all because of Hussein and his policies. No one wanted them then, and they'll want them less after the election.  Bill T.

I would very much like to agree with you Bill, however I think Tom might be right on this one. My big fear is that the Dems will try and ram as much stuff through during the lame duck as they can. This will be in an attempt to overload the system. Don't make the mistake of thinking that these parasites don't know what they are doing to the economy and to American society. They have an agenda and they are not afraid to take one for the team, nor are they afraid to throw one another to the lions. I think that you mistake them for human, and that they have things that they care about other than power. Don't fall into the trap, politicians (and dems in particular) are leeches, no different from aunt petutie sitting around collecting welfare. These dirtbags just collect a lot more of it. They want absolute power, and they will use every opportunity to consolidate it. Even using a lame duck session to advance their agenda too far to be repealed.

[billt]

They, (the far left liberal democrats), may want to ram more of their liberal agenda through, but as I said they simply are not going to have the support. A great many people who put Hussein into the White House are now running scared because of how far left he is. The more moderate democrats are beginning to see him and his policies as the enemy. Regardless of what they want, they still need votes to pass it. This whole mess the dems are in is a direct result of them ramming through unwanted legislation. Those who get voted out are not going to be able to convince others to side with them. In short they won't have the votes, especially for any new gun control measures. If they try they will scar the democratic party in this country for many elections to come.   Bill T.

I have to agree with Billt, Those (dems) that are still around won't support anything that will make them look like they are helping Obama. If anything they will vote against him to save face in the next election. Whatever the polls show the people want, thats how they will vote. That's just my opinion, I just don't see the rest of them committing political suicide.

I don't think they will go after guns. The 2 big ones that I see them trying to sneak in are Cap & Trade and Immigration. I see Immigration being a priority because by making all of those illegals citizens they will have a better chance in 2012. Also, we are already seeing a lot of vote tampering going on. Voting machines in Nevada, and the military ballots in Illinois. I am expecting to see the Black Panthers out on election day. Since they have no fear of prosecution now.....

[billt]

Guns are a total no win situation for the democrats. Any democrats. They have absolutely nothing to win and a lot to lose by going after them. The only people they will appease with gun control are the people who already vote for them. The minorities could care less about it, and the conservatives hate it. They are in desperate need of votes. They are losing them left and right. They've already lost the independents and a lot of women. Even the hispanics are not so fond of the dems any longer. Sure they would come back into the fold if amnesty was passed, but that is simply not going to happen. If it did I think this nation would break out into civil war. Citizens have had enough of government doing what they don't want.  Bill T.
