FINALLY

I don't think there ever was any real danger of that passing, and least not under this congress (if control of the house changes in two years, all bets are off).

It's the bill that's left that should be the real concern. They scare everyone with some draconian legislation, then we feel like we got a victory when it's scaled back to some more incremental restrictions, like universal background checks and magazine bans.

It's like some gangsters coming to your store and saying they're going to rob you and trash the place. You freak out until they say they'll leave you alone if you give them a hundred bucks.

You celebrate because you just got off cheap, until you realize that you've still been robbed, they got what they came for in the first place, and they'll surely be back for more.

It looks like she may try to add her ban to the Universal Background Check bill still going through the process. As she couldn't muster 40 votes on her ban alone, let alone 60, I would think it would drag down Background Checks too if it was added there. Hope the House will have the balls to stand up and reject this mess when, and if, it reaches them.

Yeah, all kinds of guns to be had. Good luck finding reasonably priced ammo to shoot out of them...

Stop congratulating yourselves!

With the recent announcement of democrats NOT pressing forward with another AWB, the firearm industry seems awash in praises and congratulations. To these people and industry experts, I can only say "STOP CONGRATULATING YOURSELVES"!

The larger picture has been missed, and people are fat dumb and happy with having beaten the liberals. If you fall into that category, please stop. Seriously.

If I told you I was going to beat you to death, would you not feel more than slightly offended? Would you not be upset with the threat, especially if I tried to carry it out? Would you feel it was suddenly ok if I only broke your nose, or fractured your eye socket? Would you be good with that? Would you congratulate yourself, and would your friends think it was awesome?

Let us make no mistake that additional restrictions are about to be placed while people are dancing and congratulating themselves. The death of a thousand cuts is being carried out to the 2nd Amendment right in front of us, and the end is certainly near.

The idea of ending personal sales without a background check is simply the first step in logging, tracking, and eventual restriction of firearms. Remember that each and every "background check" is done via computer and logged. If you are still smug in having "blocked the libs", your heart might be in the right place, but your head is not in the game.

Stay safe,

Stick
