In addition to surrendering to the Democrat instinct to tax Americans into oblivion, Republicans in Congress are prepared to go along with knee-jerk legislation rolling back the Second Amendment in the coming year. “Put guns on the table. Also, put video games on the table. Put mental health on the table,” Rep. Jack Kingston of Georgia said last week as the Republican leadership signaled it is ready to chip away at the right to own firearms. Kingston said Republicans are likely to move on more anti-gun legislation after a “grief stage” in response to the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting. “In the coming days and weeks, we will engage in a meaningful conversation and thoughtful debate about how to change laws and culture that allow violence to grow,” said formerly pro-Second Amendment Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. “And every idea should be on the table as we discuss how best to do just that.” Sens. Marco Rubio of Florida and Chuck Grassley of Iowa are ready to trade off the Second Amendment in order to make a political deal with Democrats. “You’ve got to take all these things into consideration,” Grassley said. Grassley also believes the federal government should legislate on societal issues. He said Congress needs to discuss a culture that “tends to be less civil now than it has been for a long period of time.” Arguing that Republicans must abandon libertarian principles in order “to remain relevant in a country whose views are changing,” the Associated Press cites a Washington Post/ABC News poll published last week in the wake of the Connecticut shooting that shows 54 percent of Americans surveyed want restrictions placed on the Second Amendment. For statist Republicans, relevance is all the rage. Following the shooting in Connecticut, former Republican congressman from Florida, Joe Scarborough, easily betrayed the Constitution. “I knew that day that the ideologies of my past career were no longer relevant to the future that I want, that I demand, for my children,” he said. “The party is at a point where it wants to have those discussions in public, where people feel comfortable differing from what is perceived as the party orthodoxy,” said Republican consultant Dan Hazelwood, revealing the sad fact that Republican fealty to the Second Amendment and thus the Constitution at large is waning. Retiring Republican Ron Paul responded to this sudden political sea change on the part of his colleagues. “Predictably, the political left responded to the tragedy with emotional calls for increased gun control. This is understandable, but misguided,” Paul said after the massacre. “The impulse to have government ‘do something’ to protect us in the wake of national tragedies is reflexive and often well intentioned. Many Americans believe that if we simply pass the right laws, future horrors like the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting can be prevented. But this impulse ignores the self evident truth that criminals don’t obey laws. The political right, unfortunately, has fallen into the same trap in its calls for quick legislative solutions to gun violence. If only we put armed police or armed teachers in schools, we’re told, would-be school shooters would be dissuaded or stopped. While I certainly agree that more guns equals less crime and that private gun ownership prevents many shootings. I don’t agree that conservatives and libertarians should view government legislation, especially at the federal level, as the solution to violence.” Ron Paul criticized reaction to the shooting by the NRA. Following the shooting, NRA boss Wayne LaPierre said the state should respond by placing more armed cops and guards in public education schools. Paul rightly saw this as an excuse to expand an already bloated police state: Furthermore, do we really want to live in a world of police checkpoints, surveillance cameras, metal detectors, X-ray scanners, and warrantless physical searches? We see this culture in our airports: witness the shabby spectacle of once proud, happy Americans shuffling through long lines while uniformed TSA agents bark orders. This is the world of government provided “security,” a world far too many Americans now seem to accept or even endorse. School shootings, no matter how horrific, do not justify creating an Orwellian surveillance state in America. Republicans in Congress will vote with Democrats to further erode the Second Amendment. The establishment is now exploiting the Sandy Hook shooting to accomplish its long-term objective of disarming the American people. No state can strip its citizens of their natural rights if they are armed and if a large number of them understand the principles behind the Constitution and the real reason for the Second Amendment.
Poster Comment: Add in the rest of the liberal congress-critters who endorsed John "Trigger Lock" McCain, and Willard "Semiauto Ban" Romney, and some form of so called gun control seems likely to get passed.

LOL! You think Massachusetts socialist Mitt Romney wouldn't be willing to sign gun control legislation right now? Surely you aren't that stupid.

Samuel Adams, Rights of the Colonists, 1772
I stopped in to my local firearms establishment last weekend to find the shelves bare of assault style weapons. When I asked why, they said they can't stock them fast enough to keep them on the shelves. One guy came in and bought 25 at once!

Samuel Adams, Rights of the Colonists, 1772
You made your bed...now go lie in it and stfu. It wasn't like you weren't WARNED what would happen if the R party ran a fucking liberal AGAIN! But, they conned you in 2008 too, so they already knew that you were a dumbass. Who will you throw your 'conservative' support to in 2016... Lieberman??? LMAO!

YOU made this bed, you fucking retard. You and every other so called conservative who trotted out and supported a Massachusetts socialist and actually thought that conservatives would vote for him! Wow, that was really a brainfart, wasn't it Einstein? You made this bed retard, now you can't stop pissing in it.

Lol..rabid old coots like you should be more concerned about new MENTAL HEALTH laws stemming from OBAMACARE rather than new gun laws. Get your priorities in order retard, or you'll end up in a group home chained to the bedpost wearing a diaper.
Waah...stop cying like a little girl. Just imagine its a 30 round magazine Obama is shoving up your "conservative" anus Oh wait..it is!
Just imagine its a 30 round magazine Obama is shoving up your "conservative" anus Oh wait..it is! WTF does any of that even mean and how is it relevant to anything that I posted to you? FOCUS Einstooge! Try to talk about things like FACTS, instead of just ranting on like Cindy Sheehan. FACT: I supported conservatives and voted for a conservative. FACT: You supported anyone that the R party told you to, and voted for a Massachusetts socialist. FACT: YOU are now trying to blame those that voted for conservatives for the fact that we have a socialist in the WH. Start there, if you're not too fucking stupid to comprehend what you read.

One thing that never ceases to amaze me, is the sheer number of you fucking idiots on the internet who want to engage others on a political discussion forum, who first of all, call yourselves conservatives when its obvious to even the dumbest SOB on here that you are NOT conservatives. But secondly that you idiots would even attempt to engage in discussion or debate when you're so F'ing bad at it that it's laughable.

Lol..snot nosed whiners like you who vote turd party then complain about getting ass-raped by liberal/socialists are the "dumb" ones. Now kindly FUCK OFF and enjoy the Mac10 strap-on Diane Feinstein has prepared for you.
Judging from your repeated references to male anal rape, one might think you are LP's Grand Island.
And if that ever happens,I know it will be because you voted for whatever Globalist that it was that demolished the Constitution because he had a R behind his name.
Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
I was thinking the same thing. He has no set a pattern. I do believe it is Fire Island,back again with a new screen name. Either him/her or it's sweetie,Yu-Tard.
Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
In what way? Please be specific. So what? Does that mean he didn't get it? What do you want from me? I'm not the one who decides who wins the frigging award. Who did you vote for the last two presidential elections? You asked me this already. Why can't you remember? Obama in 2008, Jill Stein last month.
In what way? Please be specific. In every way possible,starting with picking Cyrus Vance as Sec of State. No,I am not going to spend a bunch of time looking up the obvious and then giving you links. Do it yourself. Obama in 2008, Jill Stein last month. Supported by Noam Chomsky and Chris Hedges? Castro and Pol Pot weren't available? Shit,Obummer is a right-winger compared to those loons.

The ultimate copout. Boteye would be proud of you. Shit,Obummer is a right-winger compared to those loons. Yup. Obama is hardly a leftist. Much more a centrist actually, even a bit to the right. Just not falling off the right end of the spectrum like today's average Republican.
Yeah,because it is such a big deep,dark secret that Jim-Mah was a bumbling fool and anti-American globalist asshole,right? Yup. Obama is hardly a leftist. Much more a centrist actually, even a bit to the right. Close,but no cigar. If it wasn't for your indoctrination that has you blindly believing fascism is a right-wing political movement,you would be there. Fascism is a ultra-LEFT political movement. It's the adult form of communism.

To you rightwinguts he was. Close,but no cigar. If it wasn't for your indoctrination that has you blindly believing fascism is a right- wing political movement,you would be there. What about your indoctrination? Fascism is a ultra-LEFT political movement. It's the adult form of communism. So what to you is ultra-RIGHT?
WHAT indoctrination? The one that makes me a free-thinker? Don't worry. There seems to be no danger of you becoming infected with that "disease",comrade.

Don't worry. There seems to be no danger of you becoming infected with that "disease",comrade. Yeah, because anyone who doesn't think exactly like you is "indoctrinated," eh old geezer?
Since I believe doctrine MUST be challenged and that the best system is the one with the maximum individual freedoms and the least amount of government power,the only sensible answer to your thoughtless challenge is, "Of course,comrade."

Your admission that you are a leftist. It is impossible to be a leftist without supporting a police state that will give you all the freedom they think you need.

Lol..graphic metaphors are needed to make an impression on you dimwitted turd party losers. Repetition was given in response to the moron who couldn't understand the more oblique comments. -btw nobody ever said any of you whiney cunts were men.
When have I ever said I supported a police state? What specific measures do I support that leads you to believe this? By all means, list them.
Yup,it's either Fire Island or Yu-Tard.
Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
You are a leftist. There is no such thing as a leftist nation that isn't a police state. You,BY DEFINITION believe the state should have more power than the individual.

He ducks, he dodges, he bobs, he weaves, he squirms, he slivers away... He blows off the question! By whose definition? You rightists'? I have no doubt you've been indoctrinated to believe that.
Some believe Thunderbird is Boofer.
Yes,you do. Or is it possible your education is so flawed you actually believe leftism is about individual freedoms? What I stated is a ABSOLUTE FACT. There is not a leftist nation on the planet that has a Bill of Rights. Therefor,since you want America to be a leftist nation,YOU want to see the Bill of Rights nullified and the government to be the master of the people instead of the people being the master of the government. You can't have it both ways. You are either for individual freedoms or an oppressive government. Make up your mind. By whose definition? You rightists'? Yup. Clearly the victim of a PC education or a inferior mind. Which is it?

I don't know who Boofer is,but the language sure sounds like one of the Non-dynamic Duo.

Where's that list of things I said that supports my belief in a police state? In fact, can you name just ONE thing? C'mon, out with it! Incidentally, do you consider yourself a rightist?
Boteye
I've already told you at least 3 times right here on this thread. You are a leftist. I don't know how to dumb it down any further to help you understand it. "Incidentally, do you consider yourself a rightist?" Of course. Despite the propaganda you have been programed to believe,a right-winger is someone who has conservative values,and that in turn means you MUST have strong Libertarian beliefs because the people who formed our country and who wrote and voted on our Constitution with a Bill of Rights were Libertarians.

Now why do you think the Left is constantly re-writing history to make themselves look like the good guys when the truth is just the opposite!! Heck just the last century alone should tell them something about what lies ahead of them... Their masters killed about 200 million people all in the name of Leftardism, many of them were supporters who had outlived their usefulness...
“We have four boxes with which to defend our freedom: the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and the ammunition box.”
Not even close Pete. They were liberty lovers yes. But libertarians no way. They weren't for open borders like libertarians. They were a moral people. Libertarians can be summed up with the same doctrine as satanists. Do what thou wilt.
Read the thread you're posting in, dumbass. YOU are the one crying like a little girl because some wouldn't vote for your Massachusetts socialist. Now kindly FUCK OFF LOL! No, I think I'll stay, as long as it pleases me, and make you cry some more. If you're too big a pussy to handle it, use the filter.

That would certainly explain some things.

Good God man! You can't be serious?!? You and I have always been on different sides but at least your comments have made some sort of sense... until this one.

I see that thrown around a lot. Mitt may not have been perfect. But calling him a socialist isn't honest.

No,it was you shithead Party People that made this bed when you decided to back globalist traitors like Boy Jorge Bush,John McLunatic and Massachusetts Mitt. Why would any Dim vote for them when they had a formal Dim to vote for,and why would any conservative vote for them when their Dim opponents looked like right-wingers by comparison? Hey! Don't worry about it though,comrade! Just keep your mouth shut next time when the alleged Republicans run a candidate to the left of Obummer,and keep those contributions pouring in so "OUR evil candidate wins instead of THEIR evil candidate!" You will be permitted to mumble a humble "Yowsah,massa,yowsa! to your masters,though.
