I would not bet on that ...I doubt McConnell is shaking in his boots.
"Universal background checks" are going to be the least of our worries, when a ban on all semiautomatic rifles is on the horizon.
Time for a summer break and let things cool down

Pete is King of the RINOs. He makes Susan Collins look like a rabid rightwing lunatic. I doubt McConnell is shaking in his boots.

This ban will not happen, Pilgrim!
I wish it was that simple. Do we have the votes? The Democrats are doing a lot of internal polling and focus-group testing, and they think gun control is a winning issue for them. Otherwise, they wouldn't be pushing so hard on it.All we have to do is organize and say no. Its that simple.
Nobody is going to go house to house scooping up the guns. The gun-banners are a little more sophisticated than that. They'll use other, more subtle methods. By the same token, gun owners are not going to engage in armed resistance. They are (1) sticklers for legality, and (2) most of them have a lot to lose. Therefore, they'll simply hide their guns and refuse to comply in nonviolent ways. Their guns will be useless for all practical purposes, and then disappear through attrition over the coming several generations.At the end of the day, we are still the ones with most of the guns. Wait, cue up everyone coming to tell me the military will come and take them. Laughable. Stand on your own and you won’t stand, stand together and we are a formidable opponent.

Virginia is going to be the test case, this coming November. If the Dems sweep the legislature, running on a platform of draconian gun control, it's not going to look good for gun owners nationwide.

Remember the Bundy standoff? That seemed to work well.All we have to do is organize and say no. Its that simple. At the end of the day, we are still the ones with most of the guns.

These are also my views of how it'll happen, whenever it does happen. After the door is open, they'll eventually make the penalty (whatever form it takes) too high for a law-abiding citizen or a parent who is responsible to their kids, etc., to risk. Millions of otherwise law-abiding citizens may keep some or all of their guns, but for what purpose? If they are ever used, then you're toast. At that point, only the criminals and the government will have guns, and the law-abiding citizens who are the backbone of the country will be at the mercy of both groups.Nobody is going to go house to house scooping up the guns.

- Without REGISTRATION, so-called "universal background checks" are an utter nullity.
- Registration has NO purpose beyond facilitation of future CONFISCATION.
- Without REGISTRATION, it will be widely IGNORED.
