In reply to the discussion: 1000s rally in Albany to oppose NY SAFE Act. [View all]apocalypsehow
(12,751 posts)64. What I find odd is that a supposed Democrat would invoke "1994" - the year the GOP took
back Congress for the first time since 1954 and a clear Republican victory - as some kind of triumphant mantra to argue against a law passed by the Democratic legislature of a majority Democratic state and signed by a Democratic governor on Democratic Underground against a fellow DU'er Democrat.
Yes, very odd, indeed....( )*
*Not really: I actually don't find it odd at all, since I'm well aware of what's going on here. And It's not really foolin' about no one else hereabouts, either.

I think the implication is that one is a teabagger IF one opposes the SAFE act.

I'd say to the tea-baggers in the rally: good luck with that, pro-NRA gun nuts!

This isn't "1994," and the GOP is not gonna be able to rescue the discredited "RKBA" cause again:
