EDITORIAL: A good day for the Second Amendment


The president raged. The mayor of New York frothed. Joe Biden cried. But at the end of the day, common sense prevailed. The Senate killed the effort to unreasonably expand background checks for buyers of guns.

The measure is not quite graveyard dead; it can be brought up again, but prospects for that are remote. The vote was a bone-jarring setback for the gun-control lobby, and a decisive victory for the National Rifle Association (NRA), which led the fight to protect the rights of all. It was most of all a resounding victory for the plain and simple language of the Second Amendment to the Constitution, “A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”

Chris Cox, speaking plain and simple after the vote for the NRA, observed that the proposal “would have criminalized certain private transfers of firearms between honest citizens, requiring lifelong friends, neighbors and some family members to get federal government permission to exercise a fundamental right or face prosecution.”

President Obama seemed stunned at the result and Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg of New York City, who has spent millions of his own billions to impose his version of the Second Amendment on everyone, was fairly besotted with rage......

I guess I cannot help but smile that we pissed these people off.. Today is a good day, tomorrow will bring another fight.
 
That's why I like the Washington Times they are but a few conservative views that are way ahead of news. Unlike like Fox, that tends to flip-flop.:cool:
 
"besotted with rage"... LOL, now that's a term you don't hear in the South every day.
 
I am a Happy Conservative right now, and being a Happy Conservative is considered a sin here in California.

That makes me even happier. And it makes my ancestors, who came to Santa Barbara California in 1690 that much happier, too!
 
Happy to see the editor using the term "gun-control lobby". I've been using it for a couple of years but it just hasn't gotten into wide-spread usage.

I love it. The statists were saying that the NRA was just a big money, special interest group. Well, too bad the Bloomberg, and Soros money didn't win. The citizens have spoken, and the poll they don't talk about is the one that says only 4% of U.S. citizens think more gun control laws is an important issue. I believe that poll not the 90% and 40% ones they made up.

I hate liars.

Kudos to the NRA , but. the reality of this is a victory for US, the people !!
 
The NRA gets its money from the American people. When the NRA wins, Americans win.

The Brady Bunch et. al get their money from 2 or 3 very rich men (Bloomers, etc) when they 'win' everyone else loses.
 
I was so happy yesterday and still am today. I can't stop smiling. I sent 'atta boy letters to my senators Ted Cruz and John Cornyn, and basked in the schadenfreude of Bloomberg, Feinstein, Biden, and Obama's rage. It's good to know the thousands of dollars I personally and millions of others like me donated to SAF, GOA, and the NRA over the past few months weren't wasted. Happy days are here again! But I know it's not over, we need to stay vigilant especially as long as the current crop of nanny staters remain in office.
 
Excellent news, but if you live in an anti-gun state with a super majority, it already is, or will soon be, not good...
 
Gonna send thank you.....

...........emails to all the Reps who voted against the gun control lobby. Unfortunately my own senators aren't on that list ( Casey and Toomey :fire: ). Hopefully I can finally find a Saiga .410 10 rounder for a reasonable price in a week or two or three.
 
If another Garand were not my next gun objective, I might consider buying an AR-15 after the price bubble continues to collapse, and telling Bloomberg/Dianne 'Frankenstein' about it.

And will Bloomberg's investment in his power-hungry gun control crusade only benefit him during the next election? Or was it only an ego trip to broadcast his photo over the last few months?
 
Always a good day to see Obama and his anti-america henchmen get ousted. Also nice to see an article without the blatant left propaganda.
