The wishes and hopes
and fake Promises of a Presidential
campaign.

Nothing about if they can even get this
crap through Congress nothing about that at all.

The original is still up:

I mentioned it at Alphecca but didn’t see it at over at Rob’s, Tam’s or Josh’s. I don’t want to wait for Obama/Biden to move on this, I want to call them out on it now. And what about Tester and Manchin (and other Dem NRA folks) who said he wasn’t coming for our guns. Should we start hammering them too? (I don’t live in either of their states).

I am the most Pro-Gun Person
you could meet.

I am still very worried though.

But media analysts seem to think
Obamafraud’s political capital is going
to be used up on trying to rescue
the “economy”

“The Washington Post has thoughts about Obama’s first moves. They figure he’s got to do enough to suggest “change” without doing so much that he comes off as a lefty, or loses the blue dogs, or sets the stage for another 1994, and list a number of ideas. Guns don’t make the list; the priorities are mostly economic.”

And with the Super Liberal Obama Express
and then an AW ban they will lose it AGAIN.

About 60% of you were so sure it was going
to happen in 2007 after the 2006 election lol.

Rich only four co-sponsors in a Democratic-controlled
House of 233 Democratic members is not a large mandate.

H.R.1022
Title: To reauthorize the assault weapons ban, and for other purposes.
Sponsor: Rep McCarthy, Carolyn [NY-4] (introduced 2/13/2007) Cosponsors (67)
Latest Major Action: 3/19/2007 Referred to House subcommittee. Status: Referred to the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security.

Why only 67 co-sponsors if they actually
wanted to pass it?

The Democrats lost the House for 12 years after
1994 and the White House in 2000 and 2004 basically
because of Gore and Kerry’s anti-gun records.

Maybe I am wrong but do you think
they want to spend another 10-12 years
as the minority party clawing their way
back up?

Sportsmen
Barack Obama did not grow up hunting and fishing, but he recognizes the great conservation legacy of America’s hunters and anglers and has great respect for the passion that hunters and anglers have for their sport. Were it not for America’s hunters and anglers, including the great icons like Theodore Roosevelt and Aldo Leopold, our nation would not have the tradition of sound game management, a system of ethical, science-based game laws and an extensive public lands estate on which to pursue the sport. Barack Obama and Joe Biden recognize that we must forge a broad coalition if we are to address the great conservation challenges we face. America’s hunters and anglers are a key constituency that must take an active role and have a powerful voice in this coalition.

I did.

SO go flood their submission form and give them some common sense ideas. Spread it far and wide. Post screenshot too, so they can’t take credit. The time to preach to the choir is over.

All Obama’s election has done for me is accelerated plans I already had in flight.

I use the fact that a Democratic Congress renewed the Tiahrt Amendment. No matter how much lip service they pay to the idea of control, when the rubber has met the road in voting, Congress has not supported it. That gives me some hope.

Often the gun control zealots like Feinstein and McCarthy prove to be their own worst enemies because their venom on the issue shows them to be extremists and people don’t like extremists of either stripe. And we have history on our side since can point to the ineffectiveness of the last law to argue against a new one.

Our jobs have gotten harder but not much so.

Four years (as well as two years) is a long ways away. Republicans need to go back to the core principles that made it functional. This election did us a favor by purging out alot of the dead weight moderate douches who were merely fluffers for our opposition. If we run on our Conservative principles we can beat Obama in four years. Yet, if we consign ourselves to defeat and see this situation as hopeless (it isn’t) then we will fail and we deserve whatever we get.

The AWB will cost Obama nothing if we don’t make him pay for it. That is the bottom line…

I also believe he’s smart enough to know that a new AWB in the first term would cost a lot of seats in congress and possibly his reelection.

Guys/Gals remember this: They will need us if they want anything this election. They are not in a position to ignore us nor discount our voices. Remember the squeaky wheel gets the grease……
