We are like a roomful of mousetraps each capable of launching a ping-pong ball.
Thanks NRA.

(5,046 posts)I am more concerned about "The Patriot act II" or something like it. Just think of how the TSA is already out of control, just think if they start operating road blocks. The push to expand Bushco's secret lists even more with people that cannot buy (enter anything that was used in such an attack here). Heaven forbid they use a gasoline bomb, you need to have your papers checked when filling up your car, to make certain your not on the "no buy" lists.
Knee Jerk political reactions tend to be regretted by all.

(27,993 posts)Perhaps some leadership types, but not the Left. As Chris Hedges points out again and again, the Left are now ineffectual types who, when greatly provoked, write scathing Letters to the Editor. Fringe elements of the Left might chain themselves to some corporation's front door.
It's the heavly armed Right that what you describe will attempt to stop. And no one fans those flames more than the NRA:

If you want a glimpse of a genuine nightmare for America, just look at whats headed our way.
But unlike a nightmare, this isnt some fantasy. Its a very real, very dangerous conspiracy of public deception intended to destroy your Right to Keep and Bear Arms. Its targeted directly at you.

Over the past three years, the Obama administration and its anti-gun allies have been engaged in a silent but sophisticated long-term conspiracy to:
1. Neutralize gun owners and NRA voters as a political force in national elections, and thereby:
2. Win re-election to a second term in the White House, where they then will be immune to the will of voters and free to continue consolidating and misusing their ever-increasing power to:
3. Prosecute a full-scale, sustained, all-out campaign to excise the Second Amendment from our Bill of Rights through legislation, litigation, regulation, executive orders, judicial fiat, international treatiesin short, all the levers of power of all three branches of government.
...
But thats just a diversion to distract you from their true beliefs and objectives.
Think about it: Before moving into the White House, Barack Obama spent his entire career proudly, publicly advancing the most radical anti-gun positions you can imagine.
He endorsed a total ban on the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns. He opposed Right- to-Carry laws. He voted to ban nearly all common hunting-rifle ammunition.
In short, Obama never met a gun he liked, and never met a gun ban he didnt like. The same was true of his running mate, then U.S. Senator Joe Biden, D-Del.
...
Yet so far, President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder have done nothing but shrug their shoulders, shirk responsibility and stonewall the investigations at every turn, as if Americans shouldnt care that a massive criminal enterprise seems to have been run right out of our own Justice Department, just to set the stage for a future Obama gun ban.
