Pretty much the only thing I can find that's positive for 2A by Trump.

I would say that it's interesting to see the list of promises he made vs delivered on. According to politifact, he's at:
24% kept
20% compromise
5% stalled
49% broken

I've seen more favorable lists, but none that have been quite as vetted. This seems to be a decent estimate. It seems to me that Trump focuses a lot more on symbolism rather than effectiveness. Take that how you will, voting either way in OR/WA won't change the outcome of the election. All we can do at this point is focus on making our local communities and states better. Hopefully that will help on a cultural level.

I may be one of the few on these boards who actually believes that Oregon and Washington can be flipped to Trump this election cycle, despite Trump's lack of appearances in the PNW. The riots have woken a lot of people up.

Someone in Portland needs to mount a massive write-in campaign for mayor. I don't think it would take much when you consider the two nutjobs currently on the ballot.

I've got $100 toward the campaign of anyone who'll take a serious stab at it. Much publicity is needed.

Scotch? You meant Fireball cinnamon whiskey, right?

Flip the House and it will happen.

You mean the last time the house was flipped it happened? Because they had the house, senate and presidency and all we got was a bumpstock ban.

 

[Lasers]

He's scared.

He's afraid he is losing this election and he's grasping to appease any groups he might be able to sway in the last few weeks.

Had he cared one bit about gun rights, if any of them truly did, they could have tried to do it when all 3 stars were aligned...


"but give us another chance! We'll do it this time! Promise!"

I think the SCOTUS had to be rebalanced before a reciprocity law would have had a shot - now that's done.

The constitution is valid in all 50 states whether their governors believe in it or not. Reciprocity is a trojan horse; pretending the government has the right to "license" you in the first place.

 

[cbenware]

Never going to reach his desk.

Gross

 

[po18guy]

So, we'll have a better chance with Biden? Time for a reality check.

Honestly, I think the illegal progressive/Marxist conspiracy to steal the election has bumped reciprocity to the back burner.

Gross

Indeed.

Not really. anti-gun laws get pushed through by the hundreds regardless of their level of ability to survive a supreme court challenge. Even then it does not matter. It is still illegal to own a tazer in Hawaii despite the supreme court saying it is legal. They dont care.

the lack of pro-gun laws being passed means there is no pro-gun politician. If there were, they would not care about the supreme court.

There are anti-gun politicians and those that wait around long enough to be replaced by an anti-gun politician.

Great but it won't reach his desk.

Office politics in action! Why is it called 'office politics' in the so-called private sector? Does anyone really believe that 'political' is solely a 'government' entity?
The most brutal political behavior I have witnessed was in the corporate world!
There are no white knights that wear suits!

From poofy coffee to poofy whiskey! Really?

However, once struck down there is a precedent. Do we really want to risk a precedent like this? It's also why the court has (reportedly) not heard any 2A cases of note recently. Now, perhaps they can.

 

[Aero Denezol]

Nothing but a political carrot.

^^Yup.

I'm pulling for Orange Man and praying for a miracle, but that dude is done. He went to the well too many times.

In theory yes but I dont trust any of them. I dont expect any 2A case to hit the supreme court even with this confirmation going through. Right now, every politician is anti-gun until proven otherwise. They can say what ever they want but until they do something substantial, my confidence in them is zero.

I'll predict right now that no substantial 2A case will be heard by the supreme court in the next 4 years.

You'll definitely see some cases up there, and likely SOON. 2A proponents on the court are chomping at the bit to set some precedent. You can believe ACB will constitutionally be on their side.

80,000 cases are presented to SCOTUS each year. Only 80 ever make it before the court in a given year. A SINGLE CASE can upset the apple cart as far as the eye can see.

Yeah I started shooting with a 1907 7mm Mauser as a teen.

Now I shoot sporting rifles.

Jack Daniels, Ezra Brooks, Evan Williams, and others work as well, but Fireball is addictive. I won't even let Anne buy it because it's so damned addictive!
