Every election counts and we need to get our conservative leaders elected. The day for compromise is long gone. LET THE ULTRA LEFT COMPROMISE.

There are absolutes in our world and we need to stand up for these absolutes, be counted, and hold firm to our principles. If the left sees us as "the enemy," then we are probably doing the right thing.
The American gun owning public is being duped again, just like we were duped the two weeks before the election when we were convinced that Romney was ahead by several percentage points. The media, including our “friends” at Fox, Drudge, and other “conservative” outlets, are attempting to sell us the concept that the “assault weapon ban” legislation can’t pass, and this is a lie.

Don’t be a fool and believe it when they tell us we can’t lose. We are going to get beaten again if we don’t act. CONTACT your Senators and Congressmen... constanly! Call, Email, Fax... then do it again! Our voices NEED to be heard and be polite, yet aggressive!!

Currently there are 53 Democratic Senators, 2 Independents Senators and 45 Republican Senators. Of which there are 20 currently held Democtatic seats up for re-election in 2014.

Ten of which are reported as very close races and possible wins by the Republicans, they are:
Mark Begich, Alaska
Mark Pryor, Arkansas
Mark Udell, Colorado
Tom Harkin, Iowa
Mary Landrieu, Louisiana
Al Frankenstein, Minnesota
Jeanne Shaheen, New Hampshire
Kay Hagen, North Carolina
Tim Johnson, South Dakota
Jay Rockerfeller, West Virginia

And the possibility of John Kerry's seat being open due to being nominated for Secetery of State.

Taking these numbers into account, how do you think the vote on this bill will go? I see at least 6 Senators from states that are very pro-hunters/guns.

By my math, 53-6 (of the 10 up for re-election)=47 possible Senators voting for the bill. Then take the other side, 45+2+6=53 against the bill.

Even if it did somehow get past the Senate, do you believe the Republican Party will vote for it?
From what I have seen from the Republican party... I just don't know for sure.

I call bull Andy.

The President (and all his minions that are using the same talking points) have clearly stated that the majority of gun owners are with him and for "common sense" gun laws and compromise. I myself have not been surveyed, but apparently the President and Vice President are both very sure of this.

I would have to assume that is why so many people have joined the NRA in the past month, just so they can get there vote counted as being a firearm owner that supports the President's plan.


(/sarcasm)

I joined the NRA... I thought it was the National RESTAURANT Association...

They won't be available to purchase correct? So I don't see how it's possible.


Not that it's going to happen or anything..
Her bill has grandfathering of banned weapons, except you will have to REGISTER them to keep them.

no bueno

You also see what they WANTED to do in NEW YORK?... They wanted confiscation of all "assault" rifles.

Registering is bad news.
