AWB Lacks Dem Votes to Pass Senate-I don't believe it

[LSUTiger]

If this is true its a very thin margin, but don't be lulled into a false sense of security. Continue the conversation with all who will listen to contact your reps and senators, governers and etc.

If this is like all the other things that have been passed it just means that this will pass soon. Oh look we might win one this time, (hold your breath), aw gosh darn lost another one.

I am sure as we speak the holdouts are being threatened, I mean persuaded to change their minds.

Remind your democrat friends that the Communist Party absolutely agrees with Obama on gun control, saying that getting rid of guns will improve democracy:

Fight to end gun violence is key to defending democracy

In the wake of the Newtown massacre, polls show the great majority of Americans are now insisting that the ability to live free from the fear or threat of gun violence is a fundamental democratic right - one that far supercedes any so-called personal gun rights allegedly contained in the Second Amendment.

In fact, the right-wing extremists opposing all efforts to curb gun violence are the same forces that rallied behind Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, hoping to undermine every other democratic right as well as the living standards of workers and ordinary Americans. It is for that reason, as well as the need to protect public safety, that the same coalition of labor and its allies that worked so hard and effectively to re-elect President Barack Obama must now go all-out to back his common sense proposals for gun law reform.

There it is. The only good commie is a dead commie.

I have a question.

They claim to represent the 99%?

I honestly think that the 3% theory of us that will seriously resist exists and that there is actually a larger percentage. For clarity's sake let's go with 3%.

99% plus 3% = 102%.

I know we all like to say that we give 110% to a task but in reality there is only 100%.

Commies can't do math.

While the statement above is undoubtably correct, I don't think it will have much of an effect on those pushing or supporting AWB. What might help is to remind them that the Democrats lost control of congress in the 1994 mid term largely as backlash to the 1994 AWB. Many think it cost Al Gore the White House. 2014 mid term elections are coming up and 20 Democrats are up. 20 Democrats up for re-election in 2014 Wonder how many of them have the stomach for a 2A fight.

They will actually need sixty votes to stop a filibuster.

At that event, Feinstein said it’s unclear whether the fight is winnable. “We don’t know, it’s so uphill,” she said. “It depends on the courage of Americans.”
She pronounced "ignorance" wrong.
