Native Floridian, you are just wrong. Not trying to take away guns? Let me give you 3 names to contact and you can ask them what their goals are:
1. Diane Feinstein
2. Michael Bloomberg
3. Barack and Michelle Obama
If you think your security, democracy and freedom are secure in this country, you are dead wrong. When the Constitution is attacked, we are all attacked. I have stated before that I was a hippy and a liberal, but I love this country and know how fragile freedom is. And I promise you that these "liberal democrats" today are nothing more than socialists that want this country under their control. If universal background checks would have passed, gun registration would have started when Obama signed the bill. There would have been a listing from that day forward with every bit of info that the government needed. One more simple bill would have ordered all guns to be turned in or registered. What you say? Well, let's see. Don't turn in your gun and IRS comes after you, you never get a refund check, if you have a gov't. job it's gone, you are charged with contempt and jailed, a court order then let's them in to take your weapons, your mortgage is overdue and you can go begging on the streets. One step at a time. It's just that easy...
Well, that's four people but who's counting right? HAHAHA!!!! Just had to say that!
So you know, not ex hippie, politically just right of center. Though relative to this group i look like an ultra liberal!! HAHAHA!!!!
Couple things - the good thing about living in a republic is that 3 ( or4) people can't do anything.
if i used the word try or trying let me retract that and say it this way - the government isn't going to take your guns. Just not happening!
if i say to you that you are misinformed or that you've been sold a bill of goods, you, naturally, would be insulted. Yet this entire "The Government is trying to take our guns away movement" is orchestrated by the pro gun lobby. They are mobilizing the forces! And will do whatever it takes to achieve their goal of no new gun legislation. it's what they get paid to do!
One example:
You state had the background check law passed that universal gun registration would have started. You have lots of company as that is a universal belief among the Pro gun folks i know. HMM, a lot of people with exactly the same concern? Where are they getting this from? Could there be a single source of information? or in this case misinformation? Read on...
Are you aware that the Bill as written was called the Manchin-Toomey Compromise Bill? it was deal struck between opposing sides to come to agreement. Our constitution working as it should. Give and take to deliver a solution everyone could live with. Well, everyone except the NRA. They were not happy.
Did you know that the Manchin - Toomey Compromise BIll prohibited gun registration? I'm gonna bet that you didn't know that. Prohibited! That's a strong word. A word that leaves no room for misinterpretation.
And, Im gonna bet that that you don't believe me. Look at my post #46 and read where it says the special interest group gives talking points to the representatives. The talking point the NRA gave was that gun registration would take place with the passage of the BIll. This, even though the Bill expressly prohibited it. This is how U.S. Senators could vote against the will of the people and save their own hides. it was their out.
The NRA knows that the faithful will take them at their word. Even if that word isn't true.
Doing so, the NRA got what it wanted. So the truth took a little hit. hey, it's politics, not like that's a sacred cow!
But for the staunch anti socialist, anti communist, protectors of the constitution in this crowd, you might want to do a gut check on what you really beleive. because this was truly an example of the "The end justifies the means." Something to ponder.
Believe what you will and do so at your own risk!
with her!
