Topgun,
Who is the current speaker of the House? Which party controls the House?
Send your money to the NRA, that is your choice. I find their tactics to be dishonest and in the end not in the best interest of all gun owners. 300,000,000 guns in the U.S. only 4,000,000 NRA members and you all are branding anyone who dares question the NRA as enemies, regardless of their actual beliefs on the issue.
I would say given the fact that that there are 300,000,000 guns and only 4,000,000 members that the VAST majority of gun owners are not NRA members.
Good luck marching with your 4 million members vs the remaining voting public. It shows again that once you join the NRA math no longer matters.
I am pro gun, and pro 2nd Amendment. I also understand that President Obama, who I didn't vote for, was not elected King. Nothing is going to happen that is radical. Even if Diane Feinstein got her entire bill through the Senate, which won't happen, it is DOA in the House.
Just a quick civics lesson, the reason Pelosi forced the Obama care bill through is because she didn't have the votes in House to get it through regular order. She had to have an up or down vote on the Senate version without debate. If you believe that Boehner is going to rubber stamp a gun control bill passed by the Senate without debate or amendments you need some real help.
Obama cannot reinstate the AWB without congressional action. In addition there are several red state democrats who know the control issue is kryponite to their political careers.
I will make a bet with you night now, there will not be an AWB, there may be a restriction on high capacity magazines and increased back ground checks. I will put up a 10 day hunt in North East Montana, I will host you at my house or hotel of your choice, buy all your ammo, booze and food, provide all the transportation and hunt with you for pheasants, huns, shaprtail, ducks, geese (I have all the equipment and access), deer and antelope (if you draw the tag) 90% of the access will be on private lands, that there will not be a renewed AWB. So put your money where your mouth is.
Nemont (aka the enemy)
