Its far from over. Ms. FS is still trying to make a deal to have AWB attached as an amendment. Sorry Capt. Jim... hope enough folks are tired of her by next election.

Good news for now but I also agree it isn't over. We are only one more mass shooting tragedy away from this regaining all the momentum that it currently seems to be losing.
Now can I PLEASE buy some ammo??

One of the things I worry about is corruption of Judges that are appointed. If they have honor and integrity...or are they loyal to the man that appointed them?
James Madison wrote Article 2 of the Bill of rights to protect us from a corrupt government....not to be regulated by them and "Not to be Infringed" was to protect the people from the government. It is written simply and I do not see how it can be interpeted any other way. there has been enough corruption in Government so many people have lost faith in their integrity and believe little of what they say.
Defending our rights may come down to Sheriffs and LE honoring their Oaths (I am not sure what Oath leo's take) to defend the Constitution ......but I know I will never surrender my firearms or my freedom and if the Government is willing to kill me to get them.....thats what it will take....and thats a government that needs to be checked.
It is going to take people standing up for what they believe in and having the courage to stand against having our rights trampled by elected officals that have lost their moral compass, integrity, and serving themselves instead of following the oath they took and serving the people that elected them.
History has shown us what can happen in places like Sierra Leon, Cambodia and many other places. Many think...that can never happen here in the Good Ol USA....but I believe that it can...and it only takes us doing nothing to see that happen.
When I look at Afghanistan...I see villages that are disarmed and the Taliban can come in and do what ever they want because the people do not have the means to resist them....and many Politicions here would like to put us in the same position. We can not let this stand. I am doing what i can to organize with others and contact our Sheriffs and police and see where they stand so we will know who is with us and who is not. We also do have some honest politicions that do "get it" and see the Constitution and Bill of Rights for what they are. I believe that it is going to take "We the People" to defend our rights if our elected politicions try to overstep the Constitution....The Second Amendment is pretty simple to understand and "Not to be Infringed" is easy to understand. Because not to be infringed is a protection from corrupt government...I do not accept any "Government" interpertation of that...it was cleary defined and needs no interpertation from the source it was ment to protect us from.
Thank you for pointing out the interpetations the govt has of the first amendment. I am trying to learn as much as I can about something I should have known a long time ago. I hope we will teach the constitution and what it stands for in schools as it is so important to out freedom and we need to be vigilent....forever. we will see an attack on our semi automatic rifles again and soon.

The Democrats awakened to political reality, it was a no-win for them, in the Senate and at the ballot box.. but I am sure they will be back.

Well said everyone. Sad to say, but I didn't retain a whole lot of what was lectured in college back in the 70's, but one thing has stuck in my head after all these years was a comment by an economics prof who said the government in Texas would never have a chance of being led by anything other than the party that begins with the letter D. Not to be political, but now years later we see how wrong this fellow was. That said, it doesn't matter who is in office the debt goes up, spending increases, nothing gets cut (except our freedom and liberties) and the freebies still flow no matter state or federal. The most bothersome thing to me is $16.7 trillion in debt and $220 trillion in unfunded liabilities. Folks that is alot of geetus and a man would have to pick up alot of empty cans to pay that off. Eventually somebody will want those debts paid and then what? The solution is going to be ugly and the can has been kicked down the road, through the pasture and off the cliff. Any way I look at it my kids and grandkids future is bleak in my opinion. This didn't happen in the last 5 years, or 15 years or 20 years. Where the heck has the outrage been for the last 30 years. Now even Texas is turning purple with people pouring in here by the thousands bringing their backward ideology with them. As long as the choice is a lesser of 2 evils, then good folks will continue to tune out. It's not politics, it's dollars and cents/sense. I hope I'm wrong on this one but I just don't have any confidence the good 'ol USA can pull it off and I'm to dang old to learn any foreign language. God bless us all. Over and out.
