Just read a front page article in our local paper that was taken from one of the larger news agency.
It seems, according to one Democrat congressman, that some members of his party are not willing to stick out their necks to inact any new anti-firearms laws for fear of the political backlash they may receive.
To give credit where it is due, this is not just the result of the NRA and GOP congressmembers, but in conjuction with recently elected "MODERATE" members of congress that are in the Democrat party and oppose any laws that effect lawful ownership of firearms.
It seems some of these new members are from areas where hunting is a strong tradition, or owning firearms for defensive purposes is strongy supported by the citizens who elected the congressman.
Of course the Brady anti gunners consider this only a temporary setback and will continue to push their anti gun agenda to anyone that will listen. It was stated that the recent Washington D.C. case in the Supreme Court had also effected how far some of the liberal members of congress will go in the future on supporting these anti gun bills.
Might be the reason why Obama has also changed course recently on his anti gun stance of the past.
Just a ray of sunshine on these doom and gloom posts we normally see in this forum.
