The grabbers are moving to the states, sort of giving up on the Federal level for now.
They've always been at the state level. What's changed? If you are willing to live in a progressive state, (Illinois, New York, California), your going to get all the anti crap that goes along with it, period. It's been like that for decades. When did New York pass the Sullivan Law?
The CO wankers may have been outed but the law still stands and Magpul is still in WY and TX. So how did that work out well for the people in CO?
This is what happens when you allow liberals into what once was a conservative state. California is your best example. In the 60's when the Republicans ran it, it wasn't bad. Now it's a disaster zone. You are right that it's easier for a state to turn over before the Feds do. But even then it's not easy.
Did anyone actually think we would get through 6 years of Hussein without ANY gun control? Yet here we are. The first 2 years from 2008 to 2010 he had both Houses and accomplished nothing gun control wise. Do you actually think he will in the next 2? I'm not saying anyone should, "let their guard down". But we can stop living in a panic mode, and people are. Gun control has been very toxic for the Dems. Don't think they don't look at Colorado and pause. Those people train wrecked what could have been lucrative political careers by pushing gun control. It's been all risk with no reward. Feinstein couldn't even get her Assault Weapons Ban brought up for a vote in the Democratic controlled House. Do you think anything will happen with the Republicans in charge? It won't.
Democrats are the party of gun banning. The Republicans are not. Yes, we have a few bad apples in the Republican Party. But gun control is not a plank in the Republican platform. Never was, isn't now, and for sure won't be in the future. Look at every major gun control law presently on the books going all the way back to the National Firearms Act of 1934. Every one was introduced by, passed in committee by, and voted into law by....
Democrats. The fact is they now control nothing but the current lame duck Presidency.
As far as his Executive Orders, where did that go? Remember when he made Biden his "Point Man" for gun control after Newtown? More nothing. Six years ago like many, I thought we were doomed. It all amounted to nothing. This with the most communistic President in this nations history. Now with his approval rating in the toilet, and Republicans in control of both Houses, there is little to worry about. In 2016 that could change, but not for the time being.
I'm sorry, but what kind of moron trusts the Pubbies in kongress these days? About anything? Even with the influx of Tea Party types, the jackasses in power will control the agenda.
Anti Second Amendment legislation is not in the Republican agenda. Never has been. Anti gun Republicans don't last long. I'm not saying we should "drop our guard". But I'm through worrying about things that aren't going to happen.
The tide is turning on gun control. More people approve of gun ownership than ever before in modern times. Democrats don't like this tide, but you can bet they respect it. It's why nothing was passed. They aren't stupid. They saw what happened in Colorado, and after the passage of the Assault Weapons Ban of 1994. They don't want that taste in their mouths again. It's too hard and costly to wash out. I honestly don't think this President cares about anything any more. He wants out more than we want him out.
