A day when demagoguery failed and, amazingly, principles ruled in Washington.

Yes, the fight will go on, but here is what I believe… if our blood enemies couldn’t shove through their civilian disarmament agenda in this superheated, media-saturated, incredibly vicious environment, they can never<\/i> get it. The President lost his temper and those off-the-teleprompter remarks did even more damage to the civilian disarmament cause going forward. He truly hates us.<\/p>\n
It’s easy for the progressives to talk about how this will be a defining<\/i><\/b> issue for the Democrats in 2014 and beyond, but look at today’s Gallup poll… only 4% of Americans thank “gun control” is an important problem. Think that number is likely to rise<\/i> as we move toward 2014, with the evolving ObamaCare disaster, the emergence of new terrorist threats and the slow-motion economic train wreck? North Koreans are threatening to nuke us, the Boston marathon bombings have driven a spike of fear into everyday life in America, the real unemployment rate is a national disaster, on this anniversary week of the birth of our country people are profoundly afraid for the future…and they are voting with their wallets at gun stories around the country.<\/p>\n
I think the single deciding factor was that all these tired, rehashed civilian disarmament proposals wouldn’t do a DAMN THING<\/b> to protect us from spree killers, evil men and women or even criminals. They are nothing but the first steps that will inevitably, invariably lead to door-to-door confiscations of our firearms, and the people of America fundamentally understand this<\/i>! That has always been the end game, and nothing has changed.<\/p>\n
Today was a great victory for all of us, the much maligned “little people” who called and emailed and wrote and attended town hall meetings and made sure that OUR VOICES WERE HEARD!<\/p>\n
On a local note, if I was a Democrat in Colorado I might be thinking about a new line of work. Instead of leading the nation in a brave new world of gun control, Governor Hickenstoopid and his Bloomberg whores are out there all by their lonesomes…<\/p>\n
BTW, brace yourself for some executive orders… I think the most “at risk” are imported guns and magazines…and considering that Italy-based Mec-Gar supplies a large of end-user mags, this could have a big effect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
