Hedging His Bet

So convinced am I of this that during several email exchanges, online and offline, with gun nuts, I bet them no gun bill would get through Congress any time during the next four years.
I see, "Fudd" offends Comrade Schnieder, but "gun nut" is OK.

Why not make it as many terms as he servess, Bill, and include presidential directives/emergency actions/BATFU "interpretations"? And I notice you're not saying the incoming administration won't try...

Forget narrowing the criteria. How about if we cut to the essentials? I bet during Obama's tenure as president, the right of the people to keep and bear arms will be subjected to further infringements. After all, that's what it's all about.

And let's all pray another mass shooting in a victim disarmament zone doesn't accelerate the schedule.

Staging an event is precisely what they will do. Afterwards, the tearful news conference, declaring that "this changes things", "we need to make sure this never happens again", "for the children", "common sense", "gun show loophole", "madman with a gun","make the streets/schools/malls/sporting event/homes/public places/parks/country/world/blah/ safe again". Then turn neighbor against neighbor/brother/son/daughter/blah. Then amnesty, then turn-in, then warnings, then last minute warnings, then seizures, then house by house searches, then martial law, then chaos. Thus, those who didn't do anything will be scapegoated as those that did, and when that boot heads for our faces, the only thing that will matter will be, if we can do anything about it, before it does. The prags and the fudds will be getting fitted for new boots. III.

I will say this, they at least had one (self declared) liberal that get's it posting in the comments on the site. There are a couple of other posters over there that seem get it but jlbraun definately does when it comes to guns, the 2nd, etc. He seems to understand it better than some conservative gun owners do.

Since when do the antis need to get a law passed before they use them to violate our rights? I seem to remember "executive orders" and ATF actions that have no basis in "law" at all.
