I would be the last to dissagree with you on the power (political) issue...I believe the next mid term election will be more like 2010, in some ways...The democrats need to gain 17 seats to take over the house, and there are indications that is almost an unrealistic expectation, but then again anything might happen...Something will have to upset the applecart (politically) to effect a rejection of the majority the republicans have in the US House of Representatives...chasfm11 wrote:While I agree with you to a point, politics is a game of power. I'm sure that Senator Reid and others would like nothing better than to break the power of the NRA. There are different political realities in 2013 than there were in 1994. If the Dems gain seats in the Senate and take back the House in 2014, there is no question in my mind but that some sort of gun control will be the first thing on the next Legislative session.stevie_d_64 wrote:Some of the old guard that survived the election in 1994, remember the price they paid with the last AWB...
That is a HUGE reminder, that is playing real hard on all of these knuckleheads...
Some will hopefully understand the legislating without virtue, and against unalienable rights is a losing proposition, anyway you look at it...
All that this has done is to have potentially delayed the inevitable unless the low information voter problem is corrected, at least somewhat.
The US Senate on the other hand, we are 6 seats short of taking that body back...
I believe the house and Senate will remain in the same hands...There will be a little creep towards a change, but the margins will shrink in both houses, but not enough for a change of party majorities in either...
2010 was not kind to the liberals, and the conservatives dumped a few Rino's along the way, and we still held the House...I believe there will be another purge, but not in too significant numbers to give both bodies over to the other party...
2nd term administrations in their midterm election cycle have historically lost ground on the legislative side, but in this case, I believe we are not going to make significant gains on either side of the aisle...
But we shall see...
Just look at it this way...If they decided to amend the Constitution, and get rid of the Second Amendment...What do you think you are going to do about it, for matter, any of us??? I'll bet you a Buffalo nickle that we'll hang onto our guns dispite their efforts to take them away...Have some courage, have a little faith, it's not going to be an easy road to hoe, but we will prevail...The burn is on those that want to remove this unalienable right...
I like our odds...
