Gun Control & RKBA
Showing Original Post only (View all)The Battle this year for Gun Control in Virginia is OVER and some broader thoughts..... [View all]
Guess what side won a conclusive victory..
Not a single thing the Gun Control advocates wanted ever really got near to the floor for a vote.... Lots of things the Gun Rights supporters wanted, got passed out of committee... The defensive battle in VA, is over till next year, now to turn our focus to DC.
I keep hearing about the public demanding for Gun Control, but the effects in Richmond are the opposite , even the same Anti-Gun advocates are still sneaking around (they really do), their numbers actually seem to be DOWN this year. They are down from a dozen or so, to less than ten.... While their is usually several hundred gun rights advocates... The numbers of Pro gun rights folk has spiked up for this season... Somethings got them stirred up, and ready to take action.
I am afraid, their may be terrible consequences for the "big push" for gun control when the mid terms roll around, I like many others, sounded the warning, so don't blame us...Some loudmouths on TV, and in the MSM gave them their rallying cry, and they are heeding the "call to action"....But to the exact opposite effect to what was intended.
O well... i have long posted about the effects of "call for action on gun control" In the end, you may get New York, and a couple of other places to pass strict gun control, but the rest of the nation will move the OTHER way. Due in large part to what the gun owners see happening in the gun ban utopias. I posted this several months ago, and so far it seems to be holding true, yet again..
Problem is, it tends to be the REPUBLICANS that stand to gain from the calls, and we all pay the price.
What will be the effect, that because of the call for gun control, a few Democrats in red states loose in the midterms?? What would be the effect if the senate flips to Repuke hands?? Will it be worth it, even if no gun control legislation gets passed into law?
What is the price YOU are willing to pay, What is the price YOUR willing to have the rest of us pay? No one asked themselves that back in 1993 when Gun Control was a "hot issue" and it burned us BAD. The same people responsible for that, are at it again..Are you willing to have the Democrats become a regional party over this, only controlling parts of the Northeast, California, and Illinois? Was the failed fight for gun control worth helping elect Bushco, and keep Al Gore out of office?
Those are the HARD questions our leaders need to ask themselves. History is crystal clear on this.
And before some of you try to rip me to shreds, realize that I am agreement with you on virtually all other issues
