Good News, Obama not reinstating ban
ABC has wasted a lot of air time.
http://www.politicususa.com/en/Obama...lt-Weapons-Ban Looks like the anti's big push right now is going no where, at least I hope.

Oh. I feel so much better.
Remember, one of the anti's favorite tactics is lying. An interesting answer he gave though. |

exactly...law abiding owners all are in the guard position when it comes to this..only way to get some jabs in is to have us lower our gloves a little.

They're not going away but the momentum they were trying to build up has been a waste of their time as well as ABC's airtime. I'm glad they hit a wall and I'm sure many of them are ****** off right now.

Don't ever let your guard down. Especially when we are playing for keeps. I thought this was a revealing piece about how shifty the enemy can be:

Obama said he would never drop his support and relationship with the Rev. Wright - remember that? When the time was right that is just what he did.
Just look at his record - actions speak louder than words. He is just waiting for us to go to sleep. Really, wake up!!! |

Politics, which doesn't fit in the General Discussion Forum.

There is nothing "good" about this news. Pelosi and Holder will push for registration instead. They're just abandoning one plan for another. They know that the political will for a new AWB isn't there, so they are trying something else. The registration scheme that they want will encompass ALL firearms, not just the dreaded "evil black rifles". They will advertise this as a "compromise". But the gun grabbers DO NOT compromise, the incrementalize.
"You see? We respect the 2A, we're not talking about "bans" anymore, just tell us exactly what guns you have and where they all are, and that's it...we'll stop. We promise." It's just a precursor to confiscation, cloaked in the BS of "compromise" and "common sense". They love those terms. Once this gets rammed through Congress we can all look forward to begging the Feds for permission to keep Dad's old 12 gauge that we've got hanging on the wall in the den. How good will this news look then? |

They don't have to reinstate the "assault" weapons ban (they're REALLY tactical weapons...one of my big pet peeves). The ANTIs are already working on those "other strategies" - microstamping, powder tracing, regulated ammo sales, etc. - and the one making the most impact right now - scare tactics that make our fine hobby outrageously expensive to enjoy.
Trouble is, with all the recent shootings in the news, the ANTIs really don't hafta do much to swing the general US populous toward tighter/stricter gun control. Desperate times / desperate measures are running rampant. |

Assault? Tactical? All devices used in defense or offense or meat gathering is "TACTICAL"!
If a person has no intended tactic for defense, offense or hunting they will go unsuccessful! Tactical... adj. 1. Of, relating to, or using tactics. 2. 1. Of, relating to, used in, or involving military or naval operations that are smaller, closer to base, and of less long-term significance than strategic operations. 2. Carried out in support of military or naval operations: tactical bombing. 3. Characterized by adroitness, ingenuity, or skill. adroitness adroit Pronunciation: \ə-ˈdrȯit\ Function: adjective Etymology: French, from Old French, from a- (from Latin ad-) + droit right, droit Date: 1652 : having or showing skill, cleverness, or resourcefulness in handling situations <an adroit leader> <adroit maneuvers> But this is neither here nor there... I won't believe a politician! Heck they believe their own spin so bad they could pass a lie detector test. And they likely do shots of sodium pentothal like I do of unaged corn liquor!

Is it just me, or does the press secretary come across as not forceful enough when talking with reporters? Lots of "ah" and "um", looking down at the ground half the time.

Is that one website's view of an entire political party's historical past?

and anyone actually believes this
This is political speak. He is saying "I want to attack this problem in a different way." He means, "I really know what I want to do, get rid of all guns." He wants everyone to think he is going to try this approach and after a while will come back and say, "geez, we tried everything and the only solution left is to ban guns."

The average American wants the gov't to do everything for them...we've created a culture of entitlement. And, as absurd as it is, the biggest thing that everyone seems to think they're entitled to is safety. We beg for it. Safer cars, safer medicine bottles, and the pills that go in them. Safer this and safer that. No one will lift a finger themselves, they'll just scream about it until some "savior" with an expensive suit, a smile, a teleprompter, and most importantly a personal agenda, stands up and says..."I will provide the safety that you seek." They never deliver, because it's impossible, but that is irrelevant. The promise alone is enough to satisfy the typical voter. Results don't matter as long as everyone feels better. |
