The facts are that nothing which had been in the 1994 ban which sunsetted in 2004 would have prevented what happened at Sandy Hook.
If anything it shows the total hypocrisy of the liberal gun control argument.
So we all know we had darned well better prepare for a more onorous attack heading our way, because the Power in charge knows full well what worked and what did not last time around and I assure you they are not resting and taking a deep breath to celebrate a Saturnalia Miracle. Or maybe they are. Maybe Fast and Furious was just a well thought out exercise of seeing how low to fly under the radar. You notice many heads rolling on that one did you? I didn't see any rats give up the ship. I saw re-election and now (knuckling aside a faux tear) renewed resolve w/ F&F forgotten by everyone. Some people's hypocrisy, not to mention hubris, knows no bounds, to coin a phrase
Enjoy the Holiday to be sure.
But do plan ahead because I truly don't think we want to imagine the worst case scenario that late January will bring us. Roll into one big ball, tax revenue generation, UN Treaty written as US Law, AWB, no FTF sales, limitation of numbers and/or new tax as licensed collectors, more ATF inspectors, ammunition limits,... if you can think of it, so will the opposition, all common sense... for the children, with no willingness to compromise or to back off.
But be sure to enjoy your remaining few freedoms while they last and take a week or two off while others work out the issue. Better to give than to receive eh?
Stay safe, take a deep breath. Relax. Enjoy.
