Not sure why people have their heads in the sand and are glossing over the significance of this. Not only did the Republicans have a solid hold of the House when Sandy Hook happened, but the willingness of the left to embrace extremism has increased since then. We will almost certainly see an AWB in the Biden/Harris presidency, and if there’s a timely mass-shooting it will be inevitable and draconian.
Lots of things were left for lady clinton to do. There was no rush, because they couldn't lose in 2016.Jesus Christ guys. Relax.
Obama was POTUS for 8 years and everyone was sure it was the end of private gun ownership in America.
Yes. Why in that order?If Biden wins I think I might just get a divorce, head for Florida, go Galt, pay less taxes, play with airplanes, die.
Any questions?

This time it's a brass ring grab, and it's international in scope. I discussed this here:Jesus Christ guys. Relax.

The problem is that enemy advances are rarely rolled back. The outrage over the Colorado mag ban was so great a couple of legislators faced recall. Two were recalled and one resigned so that a D could be appointed to replace her and not have one of those pesky election things.Jesus Christ guys. Relax.

And Mr. Trump has not moved the ball down the field to our advantage.
It will be a great day for America and freedom when this phony, childish menatlly ill person is defeated on 11-03-20.
We tried, we thought he was good in 2016. We were wrong. Not the end of the world, but soon the end of him!
it was still the time of political death for anyone to utter gun confiscation in the senate. no so much now.Jesus Christ guys. Relax.

Who’s “we”?
Whats the diff? They taxed Social,Security as well....I expect them to expect me to keep working and paying higher taxes.
"Most projections" We should know better by now.Most projections have the Democrats taking the Senate. If they do, and Trump loses, it may very well have rendered yesterday's swearing in of ACB meaningless.
That's the nightmare scenario. Democrats then have the House, the Senate, the White House, and the Supreme Court. The results will make FDR look conservative.
Right, we're talking "if the liberals win." If the polls are wrong again and Trump wins, the "down ballot" voting could quite likely be enough for Republicans to keep the Senate. As long as the Senate or White House stays Republican, there can be deadlock. Trump can veto pretty much anything since an override of the veto is virtually impossible. Or, the Senate with a Republican majority makes it so the bills don't make it to Biden's desk."Most projections" We should know better by now.
A Biden Harris administration will have a difficult time doing much. Every law he signs will end up in court. If they go too far, there will be STRONG civil disobedience. And the pissed off group will not be jobless and young babes. The pissed off group will be the men and women who shovel the fuel into the boiler of this freight train called the United States.
It is a different group of people, when you take something away, than a group of people who want something in the first place.
Calling elected officials is not everyone's cup of tea, and also not always effective. But, to your point, i agree that coworkers and others largely believe and privately speak diferent opinions, and at the very least stand silently in a more public forum.I don't know ben. I can't get my like minded coworkers to even call their elected officials. Civil disobedience does not exist among the right

Hard to say, depends on Republicans coming up with a strategy to stop the nation's leftward shift in places like Texas, Arizona, and Georgia. Depends on how many gerrymandering measures and other laws a united Congress and President can pass.big IF that happens, but do you think it has a 2 year shelf life?
Possibly a strong resurgent right in 2022?
They may be smarter, if in power, to wait until midterms have passed, meanwhile building behind the scenes for a post 2022 onslaught en route to 2024.Hard to say, depends on Republicans coming up with a strategy to stop the nation's leftward shift in places like Texas, Arizona, and Georgia.

I don't think they'd be able to abolish the Electoral College, since 2/3rds of states would never go for it, but I'm sure they'd look at every possible way to stack the deck.
Forgive my skepticism, but as long as people here are paying $275 for Glock mags I don’t expect much effective civil disobedience resulting from the inevitable AWB.A Biden Harris administration will have a difficult time doing much.

I think paying 275 for a glock mag is a form of civil disobedience. May suck. But nonetheless it is a way to get what you want.Forgive my skepticism, but as long as people here are paying $275 for Glock mags I don’t expect much effective civil disobedience resulting from the inevitable AWB.
