Without doubt, these people will overreach.

So what does all this mean? The Democrats still have a super majority. They do not need a single Republican vote to pass any of these bills, and except for the permit to purchase bill, they have been trying to pass all this stuff for years. So they are determined.

Walking out is very costly and subjects Republicans to arrest.[More]

I received a very nice and supportive email over the weekend from Dennis Dullea, a Second Amendment supporter and FFL in Fort Worth who is also an accomplished blues guitarist. I've always had an affinity for patriots who are also musicians. Not only can they help advance freedom in novel ways, in troubled times they help us mentally and emotionally regroup, and realize that life is also about enjoying it when the opportunity offers itself.
This guy is good. Take a break for a few minutes and recharge:
