Proposed Assault Weapons Ban Dropped in Defeat

In another blow to anti-Second Amendment politicians, Harry Reid let extremist Dianne Feinstein know that her bill to ban assault weapons was being dropped from existing legislation. In the best-case-scenario the bill only had 40 supporters.

All this was was a giant waste of time apparently initiated for political theater which the liberal, mainstream media ate up. It was never going to happen. Period!

Feinstein is even trying to recoup some dignity after being publicly trounced by the electorate, which overwhelmingly oppose the liberal from California.

Even the media watching it die attempt to offer support to Feinstein, saying it could come up for a vote later. Who cares? It's dead. It's going to be voted down and trounced again if it is brought up.

The disingenuous Reid read the handwriting on the wall and knew the moderate Democrats being pressured to vote for the legislation would get hammered in the next election, which could result in a huge shift in power for the Republicans.

This happened with Obamacare, and will no doubt happen again if these draconian attempts at taking away the right of Americans to bear arms is passed.

The pathetic Feinstein is living in the ultimate state of denial by again blaming the NRA for all of this. It sounds like Hillary Clinton when talking about the "vast right-wing conspiracy."

Liberal nuts like these can't see that it's the American people that oppose all of this, not special interest groups that exist as a representative of that opposition. If there were no NRA there would still be just as much opposition to gun control as there is now.

While this is one victory we have to be careful, as this, in my estimation, has always been a set up to get other legislation passed which now appears to be less intrusive to Second Amendment advocates.

What is being proposed now is to combine the other bills together in order to put pressure on conservatives and moderate Democrats to vote for it. Unless they're totally blinded to the immense support they have, they would have to be politically suicidal to sign on to any of these ridiculous bills.

Just a little while ago sequestration was being presented as a disaster for Republicans. No one even cares about it in the aftermath, and things are going along just fine now.

Not only will that be the same with guns, but it will be even more beneficial for Republicans and conservatives going forward.

Feinstein's Attempt to Ban 157 Guns a Waste of Time

When thinking about Sen. Dianne Feinstein's sponsoring of the ban on 157 specific guns, which has zero chance of being passed, I realized there's something more to the sponsorship of the bill than meets the eye.

There is the usual use of the introduction of such a bill to garner media attention. That's a given. It makes her Utopian, liberal base feel good about her.

But that's irrelevant in the scheme of things. It's what comes afterwards that concerns me. Once this bill is completely rejected, it sets up people for a less ominous-appearing bill, which could appear reasonable to a larger number of people who reject this one outright.

Even her reference to the "...800-pound gorilla out there" battling the bill, referring to the National Rifle Association, totally, completely misses the reason why no bill like this, or others like it, should ever pass: it's the people that reject opposition to the Second Amendment and the right to bear arms. The NRA is only a focal point of that support, not the impetus behind the support.

So people rising up all across the nation to oppose gun control are not under the sway of the NRA, but are spontaneously showing their opposition to those attempting to further control their lives and strip away even more of their freedoms.

Feinstein and others like her know the NRA isn't her real enemy, it's the freedom-loving people of America that are her enemy. She can't admit that of course, so she continues to demonize the NRA so she doesn't have to directly attack the people of America with her bizarre and weird ideology.

Democrats appear to be getting more and more nervous over the out-of-touch politicians like Feinstein, who can't relate in any way, shape, or form with everyday Americans. She believes the polls that are skewed to return the wanted firearms narrative sought by those implementing them, but fails to even see the overwhelming opposition from the American people who adhere to and support the Second Amendment.

What is terrific about wackos like Feinstein is her desire and lust for media coverage and exposure is resulting in Americans buying more guns and ammo than any time in history, including those that have never acquired guns before. That means she is helping to create an even larger base of opposition, while influencing even more Americans to buy guns.

Feinstein is about as clueless as a politician can get, as evidenced by her nutty actions and assertions.

The fact is even calling firearms that include “no-thumb hammers” an assault weapon is statistically an outright lie. Less than 1 in 10 guns used in crimes are of that type. But repeating the mantra over and over again makes quacks like Feinstein think people will start to consider these types of guns as assault weapons.

While it's possible with someone as ignorant and mentally challenged as Feinstein is to seriously believe this type of legislation has any chance to pass at all, my feeling is it's a set up for later legislation that is less restrictive in look and tone, and which could curry favor among former opponents.

In the meantime, those that actually believe a bill like this could pass are running up and stocking up on guns and ammunition. In that sense we have a lot to thank Feinstein for.

As for the Democrats, they should have come out and opposed Feinstein and other radicals like her, because Americans are still furious and stinging over the forced implementation of Obamacare, which the majority rejected. Politicians paid for the crime against them, and it's likely they'll pay even more for the attempt to trash the Second Amendment and criminalize law-abiding citizens. It couldn't happen to a better group of thugs.

Democrat Senators Feeling Pro-Gun Heat

Whether you like former president Bill Clinton or not, he is as politically astute as a person can get, and when he saw the Democrats move towards gun control, he warned the party they shouldn't take that route. They didn't listen. It would cost them the Senate in 2014 if Democrat senators in gun rights states are pressured and cave.

The problem for the Democrats is they have gone all in on this, as the liberal media quickly and ferociously joined the cause, with the usual lack of understanding and interest in the millions of Americans whom don't line up with their ideology, and the media don't understand or care about.

That has raised the stakes for Democrats in states with a majority which resist the gun control efforts of the national Democrats, who are rightly perceived as being out of touch with them.

Vulnerable Democratic senators include Max Baucus of Montana, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Kay Hagan of North Carolina, Mark Pryor of Arkansas, Mark Begich of Alaska and Tim Johnson of South Dakota.

The big question lingering in the minds of many people is the career sacrifices forced on Democrats in the Obamacare fiasco, where those refusing to represent the states they were supposed to either refused to run because they were going to get slaughtered by their opponents, or they ran and got voted out.

Will the national, Obama Democrats force this upon there fellow Democrats again, even though it would no doubt cost them the Senate? That seems to be the real question people are waiting to have answered.

These Democrats especially, and others as well, know they don't have the luxury of being coy over time, as these decisions are being forced upon them now, not after the next elections.

For national, liberal Democrats, they will view them as traitors because they don't care at all about them or the people they serve. They are driven by ideology, and the people in mid-America, the south, and parts of the west know this.

Mainstream media are attempting to create the illusion of a consensus and overwhelming support for gun legislation, but that's a complete fabrication, other than in the obvious liberal bastions in parts of the country.
Because the extremist went all in, they now can't back down. This is a fight they will continue no matter what it costs their colleagues. In the end their overreach could be a good thing for freedom, as it would sweep Democrats out of power and a more conservative U.S. House and Senate would be the result.

Bill Clinton sees all this, but thankfully he wasn't heeded, as this is going to end badly for the Democrats, who are now locked into a battle they can no longer disengage from. Some of them are so delusional as to believe the media reports that Americans are behind their push to crush the Second Amendment and take away the right to bear arms.

They can say what they want, the majority of Americans know this is there end game, with so-called assault weapons and universal background checks the Trojan Horse to get them in.

Whatever happens, this will be a win/win for Second Amendment supporters, as either the Democrats will cave and they'll be voted out of office, or they'll decide to represent their constituents and vote against the draconian gun restrictions trying to be imposed on the American people.

Even if they vote for gun control, it's likely not to affect gun supporters, as it doesn't appear there are enough votes to get anything significant passed at the federal level. What it would do is open the door for Republican and/or Tea Party candidates to come into office. 

As far as it relates to the right to bear arms, that is a far better scenario than exists now.

Albany Stormed by Over 7,000 Gun Supporters

The sneaky passage of the (un) SAFE Act on January 19 in New York has resulted in outrage from thousands of New York residents, who came in thousands to Albany to express their anger at the thuggery of New York politicians.

According to a number of lawmakers in the state, they has about 20 minutes to review the bill before a vote was asked for. There was very little debate a literally zero input from the public. Liberals always go this route because the general population would never go along with their attacks on freedom and liberty.

It's the same tactic that brought us the disastrous Obamacare. Nonetheless, it is subject to legal challenges because the dictator of New York, Andrew Cuomo, pushed it in a manner where the New York constitution was ignored, which requires a 3-day debate period. The bill was forced through in several hours, raising questions as to whether it is even legitimate and legal.

A New York State Supreme Court Justice Judge - Gerald Connolly - has already ordered Cuomo and leaders of the state legislature to show why the passage of the gun control law was done so quickly.

Per a lawsuit, Connolly said Cuomo and lawmakers have until March 11 to give a satisfactory answer. Connolly is considering issuing a temporary injunction before the new law is put into effect.

It's unlikely this will be the only lawsuit filed challenging the outrageous law. New York voters are already saying those voting against the Second Amendment and the right to bear arms will pay in the next election. All of us eagerly wait for that to happen.
