I'm sad to say I lost a lot of faith in our system after all the e-mails sent and phone calls made and watching both the House and Senate proceedings.Minds and legislation were already made up and they just went through the motions to appear to be listening. Don't take this for waving a white flag, I'm far from being done and I know I'm not alone. Thanks to every one who went in person yesterday and let's not give up the good fight. [Beer]

I watched this state's demise in the 1990s and 2000s...it is really sad.Quote:

Typical Statist.
Progressives are progressively destroying the Republic. We are suffering the "death of a thousand cuts", and every one of their so-called "common sense" actions and their unceasing calls for "compromise" is another cut. Progressivism is a disease. You don't compromise with cancer. You either get rid of it, or it gets rid of you.
The Democrat party is being led by a person who was raised by both Marxist & Muslim families; how could a person make a mistake and vote for these people? After what happened in '94, there is no mistake in voting for a Democrat; they are gun grabbing sacks of shit that will destroy your freedoms as fast as they can. It does not matter whether one or two are any good or not; as a collective, this is what happens.Quote:

Once people are FULLY INFORMED about what these ill proposed laws entail (in the small print) and what the lasting implications are, they quickly realize it is a bad thing that will cause far more problems than it will solve. It will not prevent mass shootings or keep guns out of the hands of criminals . . . it will simply oppress gun owners with the threat of prison for failing to abide by the new rules.Quote:

She joins a long list of "victims" of gun violence who have made it their crusade in life (no I didn't mince words) to ban guns, with the seedy likes of Brady, Giffords, and fellow grabbers. I don't care if you lost someone to gang bangers, you don't have the right to go after law abiding citizens who just wish to live their lives and practice the rights endowed by our creator (whoever you choose to believe that is) and protected from low-lifes like you government types by the US Constitution. ARG! These demonazis piss me off and they all need to be brought to justice! [Mad]
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm fucking sick of these ignorant, weak-kneed, emotional PMS cases like Brady and Giffords, taking out all of their passive-aggressive, bleeding-heart emotional baggage on the rest of the populace who DIDN'T shoot them. All because they can't stick it to the person that affected their lives negatively. We're easy targets because we obey the laws to begin with. Or at least until we reach THAT point we all keep alluding to, and which seems to be edging closer in the background of our minds with each new draconian oppression.........Quote:
