Until we address the real problem plaguing our country, things are going to keep getting worse.

There was time I would get calls fromt he NRA to give a donation to help keep gun banning politicians from passing anti-gun laws through Congress and I would give one. But now I am tired of giving money because like anything else they keep kicking the can down the road until one day they can get their bill passed. I told the last person who called from money that Washington can pass anti-gun laws, but it will be a cold day in hell before I follow any law I felt and believed to be unconstitutional and pray to God for those who might have to try to enforce them. I said I was done. I was drawing a line in the sand this time. I as well hope and pray our elected representatives uphold thier oath and do their jobs and not make laws based on the passing feelings of the day. I guess we will have to see.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06771962212883634130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-31866545912351870272013-01-16T14:03:40.095-06:002013-01-16T14:03:40.095-06:00We are watching the slow disintegration of our Con...We are watching the slow disintegration of our Constitution. It is this result we are trying to avert. We also know that the ultimate goal of this WH and supporters is total personal disarmament. Surely a true disaster for US. <br />The gap in this country is slowly widening, with one section not fully realizing what is at stake, being led by the nose down the garden path by dedicated Destructionists.

Wyoming, Texas, now Missouri have bills on the floor of their legislatures making enforcement of any EOs and regulations on more gun control a felony.<br /><br />I watch the trends, cultural and political and the resulting split in the country. The last election proved "they" have more votes than we do. What is next? A flying squad of Federal agents falling on some gunowner who refused to comply with some new edict? Inevitably there will be deaths and the split will broaden.<br /><br />I don't know what will happen. Our remaining time is dwindling and I'm coming to believe we only have months, not years, to resolve the issue peacefully...if we can.Crucishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15441911110953212619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-75846355850125000792013-01-16T10:54:22.864-06:002013-01-16T10:54:22.864-06:00Personally, I believe the first 'shot' wil...Personally, I believe the first 'shot' will be a negligent discharge...Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-62499390965513519312013-01-16T08:38:26.301-06:002013-01-16T08:38:26.301-06:00I like the example set by our founding fathers: En...I like the example set by our founding fathers: Endure until endurance is no longer possible, and only then fight. The founders endured countless insults to their liberty. They fought the political fight as hard as it could possibly be fought. Only when there was no alternative did they go to arms.<br /><br />No matter how awful politics is, how expensive, how time consuming, how disagreeable, how difficult, war is much worse in every way. I think it was you, Peter, who once said that war is a dead baby lying the gutter. It ain't "Red Dawn." It ain't a Fourth of July parade. Anyone calling for war who is not also playing full press politics is a mere agitator, not a patriot.<br /><br />The only question for any man is how much can be endured before even the awfulness of war seems better.<br />Wayne Conradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10595005905880642013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-48612162128309437642013-01-16T06:23:26.758-06:002013-01-16T06:23:26.758-06:00I think the debate is over.

How this is settled will soon be known. <br /><br />Personally, I think the progressive power play was a huge mistake and they'll pay dearly, which is good.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15969361446367636746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-83511973017356639822013-01-16T04:46:22.883-06:002013-01-16T04:46:22.883-06:00Well, if there is even one functional “ball” left ...Well, if there is even one functional “ball” left on all of the Republicans in congress or even a semi-hard backbone one of them will stand up and cry foul. They should be the first to run to the nearest court and cry infringement of the separation of powers. I will not be holding my breath. <br /><br />One other tactic that should have been applied that could very well have tamped down the administration’s efforts in this arena (and most likely over the Budget deal and Debit talks) would be a full court press on Benghazi and Fast and Furious. Maybe if Watergate style hearings were happening the Administration would be too busy dodging subpoenas and excusing officials from testimony to be out stealing our rights. But then again, it means you have to have Republicans with a set hanging or a stiff back. I have not seen any of those so far this term.<br /><br />BT: Jimmy T sends (from the CZ)JimmyThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00595473108896212170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-56724885257523675532013-01-16T01:22:38.865-06:002013-01-16T01:22:38.865-06:00Regardless of who wins, many will lose.
