Sadly, there is ample evidence that our elections may well be going the way of Venezuela and other bastions of freedom. When politicians know that however they legistate will not affect the (already decided) election outcome, the end has arrived.Bruce S.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-17223408492900746542012-12-29T12:30:08.513-05:002012-12-29T12:30:08.513-05:00B, the House that passed Obamacare had a Democrat ...B, the House that passed Obamacare had a Democrat majority, which they lost in 2010. <br /><br />Obamacare cost the Democrats the House in 2010 and extended the Republican majority 2012. Just as Gun Control cost them the House in 1994 and the White House in 2000. <br /><br />BP, you've done the number crunching that supports my seat of the pants analysis. <br /><br />Someone commented that Obama signaled that there would be no serious gun control effort when he appointed Joe Biden to head the commission. Nothing that his commission comes up will make it out of committee. <br /><br />TOTWTYTRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17221321904364051792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-39292360861332649332012-12-28T15:42:10.192-05:002012-12-28T15:42:10.192-05:00"The whole gun control conversation is about ..."The whole gun control conversation is about class."<br /><br />Absolutely!Broken Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01562569871940946226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-38050290466050641922012-12-28T09:27:40.852-05:002012-12-28T09:27:40.852-05:00Borepatch, I agree that this is unlikely to happen...Borepatch, I agree that this is unlikely to happen (hey, we agree :-D ) but that is no reason to be lazy about it.<br /><br />Write your congress critters, write them all. show them that a vote for Dian Fein's bill is a vote to put themselves out of office.<br /><br />Political critters exist to get themselves reelected, show them that gun control doesn't help their cause no matter their party.<br /><br />Dear God, PLEASE don't read all the articles that support your view, see what the other side is saying, or you may be as caught off guard as you were by Mittens on November 7th <br />abnormalisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10326834806578868133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-56677967911130692612012-12-26T20:31:40.211-05:002012-12-26T20:31:40.211-05:00Despite Obamacare being positioned as being for th...Despite Obamacare being positioned as being for the poor, the polls always showed that the majority of the country was against it. A majority of the country was against the bailouts, that didn't stop them. But let's say you are right and the house Republicans find a backbone to share, what is to stop Obama from using executive orders to interpret existing legislation to enforce gun control. We have federal licenses for automatic weapons, etc., why not high capacity magazines, etc.?Ragnarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-67437790501281349972012-12-26T19:06:53.761-05:002012-12-26T19:06:53.761-05:00Dave, come to America.
