    Mark My Words, Major Push To Pass Gun Control Before Christmas

    I don’t like to make definitive predictions on what is going to happen in politics. Such a dynamic environment is hard to gauge properly outside of more broaden statements. As of now, information has crossed my path that leads me to put my name up with this assertion. In simple terms, they are going to try and get a fast one in right around Christmas. I might be wrong, they could opt to push immigration, but I feel we should be on high alert going into this holiday season. Each thing by itself is not that big of a deal, but combined, it could be dangerous.

    The first thing coming our way is the Sandy Hook Police Report is finally due out soon.

    Second, is the Virginia gubernatorial election is Nov 5. In short, the Dems want to claim this as a gun control victory. Their candidate has recently started to push real hard on the issue, even have it in his ads. They want to show that gun control support is not an automatic death sentence. http://virginiashootingsportsassocia...en-on-how.html http://www.thedailybeast.com/article...un-safety.html

    Third, is that they are openly planning an assault on our rights to begin in Nov. The big name gun control groups are having regular meetings with the W house to organize a lobbying effort next month. http://gunfreezone.net/wordpress/ind...h-of-the-year/ They are not messing around this time, they even benched the VP. http://www.politico.com/story/2013/1...ate-98966.html

    Forth is that the one year anniversary of the Sandy Hook Incident. The antis have been busy pissing all over the place trying to claim it as their own.

    Fifth, if there is one thing worst about the SH anniversary, it’s that it happens on Dec 14. December is the time they try and force things through because they think people are so busy with the holidays. Anyone remember when the senate passed Ocare?

    The Six thing is just how the MSM has been/is acting. I get this vibe from them, the same one they gave off after O got his second term. It’s hard to explain, but it’s like they are just chomping at the chance to go full retard again. More than their standard propaganda, with a scornful undertone of self-righteous. Propaganda is now legal BTW.

    Hopefully this all turns into nothing, and we can have a merry Christmas. To be safe, we should prepare for firearmageddon part two. We should get ahead of this thing, and write and call state and national legislators. http://nraila.org and http://www.house.gov and http://www.senate.gov/general/contac...nators_cfm.cfm and for bills https://www.popvox.com

    What do you think? Am I over reacting, or is this the perfect storm?

    Intel is always needed. How to interpret that intel is the hard part. Not a bad interpretation. Now, we need a contingency plan.

    Mcauliffe isn't running any anti-gun ads here in VA. In fact none of his ads in my area even mention firearms at all. His big lead over Cucinelli dropped from 11% to 4% in the last week (2.9% margin or error) and that's with 9% of those polled saying they were voting for the Libertarian candidate. VA elected Obama by a 6% margin in 2008 and a 4% margin in 2012. Since the late 40's VA has voted Republican almost every election so the last two aren't a huge indicator yet though northern VA is mostly liberal and growing compared to the rest of the state.

    Not sure how they can claim a referendum on gun control if the Democrat isn't running on that as his platform but with liberals I guess anything is possible. If we don't screw up our state legislature we should still be able to prevent any new anti-gun legislation from even getting on the floor for a vote let alone reaching the governors desk should McAuliffe win.

    Democrats learned a long time ago that the campaign trail is not the place to talk about gun control. Keep it secret until after the election, then once in office, all bets are off.

    Nothing's going to happen at the Federal level. Even when the Democrats had full control of Congress in 2007-2011, there were enough pro-gun Dems from rural states (including Harry Reid) in the Senate to shut that noise down. I don't see that political calculus changing any time soon on the national level, even if the Democrats do win the House back next year.

    If anything, a few more populous states might crack down at the local level like California and New York have.

    But we've already seen what happens when they try in more rural states like Colorado -- they get recalled. And that was even after Sandy Hook.

    What we need is to go a full year without any more high-profile "incidents" so that ammo prices come back down.

    Obummer may make a push just to take the public's eyes off of the obummercare debacle. But it will go nowhere - The House will never pass a GC bill and there are too many Senators up for re election.

    Nope.

    Where are you guys getting your confidence from? Reliability of “blue dog” dems, one word, Manchin. Reliability of RINOs, three words, McCain, Gram, and Toomey. That bill almost sent us down the road of registration, and was only defeated by freemen striking fear in the hearts of DC scum. Don’t you guys remember how enraged supposed allies had gotten when this POS fell through? Yelling at people who voted against their big government power grab.

    Faith is for God, not politics. When it comes to DC, expect they are trying to screw you. Normal logic does not apply here.

    Focused - A good analysis. And NO, I don't think you are "over-reacting". Things are so convoluted that trying to analyze them isn't easy. Considering the antics of the anti's and many politicians over the last 8-10 years, being somewhat pessimistic, like "situational awareness", can be a good thing! SYG!

    You may be right but I hope not! The biggest (and saddest) problem with that feeling is that most of the people that feel that way are no longer capable, mentally OR physically, of acting on those feelings!

    Gunner - first line very true!
    With the second line - what were you thinking?!?

    They're finally going to admit that it was a hoax? I seriously doubt it.

    Grabbing our guns and finally putting an end to perverted liberal rulers is a BIG step, and one from which there is no return (at least to any sense of normality).

    Things need to get quite a bit worse before a "lot" of people decide to toss away their old life and fight for a new one.

    I seriously doubt that "they" will push things so far as to send the Country over the edge. Things are going just fine for them as it is.

    Those of us who know that America is supposed to be a FREE Country are getting older and dying off as the years go by. The younger ones are indoctrinated at an early age to accept surveillance, militarized cops, probing, x-raying, spying, suspicion and rats everywhere, and at the same time clueless about their history, their rights, their Constitution and their Country.

    All the libs need to do is wait for the last of the old guard to die off. The next generation will accept their chains gladly... because they won't know any better.

    Not a shot needs to be fired. The LAST thing the libs want is for the "Average American" to be awakened before it's too late!

    I was going to write this. All the adds seem to be that Cucinelli will oppress women and now there is a group of women doing adds correcting this. I have heard nothing about gun control except in the middle of articles that talk about how liberal McAullife is and how that would be something he works on. It is definitely not something he is touting as a strong point.

    Mcalliffe had Kelly, the bimbo's husband who got shot in AZ, at a rally in VA some time a few days ago and both got shouted off the stage when they brought up gun control. I don't remember where I saw this because I was on the road back to TX. I saw it on the tv in the motel.....chris3

    Somebody's not doing their job as parents. None of my kids accept any of that shit. Further, I'm only 52 - far from dead. Hell, my Dad's still kicking and able to tote a gun at 82.
