    I don't think it will get to his desk and I don't think he will sign it if it does.

    I want to wake up and it is November 5, 2008. And why I was out, is because I was drinking too hard from partying because Ron Paul had just won the general election.

    Trump had fake people show up to his rallys and fake online supporters. He got billions of dollars in free tv during the Republican primaries. I bet his Primary polls were fake too, if they can fake the general election polls they can fake the primary polls. He cherry picked a single polling outlet during the debate and said that Rand doesn't belong in the debate even though he was polling higher then half the stage on the other polling outlets. Plus he ran against someone the democrat party didn't want to vote for.


    He won because Hillary was on the democrat ticket and the democrat party imploded when people found out that Clinton rigged the democrat party's nomination and got away with it because its not against the law to rig a private contest. He literally ran against someone the other party did not want to vote for. Or what Rand Paul said when he first announced he was running for president in spring 2015, anyone would beat Clinton, there's a new book coming out that says she is a criminal and when people found out what she was doing with charity money she won't be able to win.

    I think both parties have now seen the new definition of insanity: Nominating the primary candidate the MSM talks about the most and hoping that will lead to change.

    The National Rifle Association says any legislation aimed at raising the age requirement for rifle and shotgun purchases would deprive young Americans their constitutional right to self-protection.
    Federal law already prohibits those under the age of 21 from purchasing handguns from licensed gun dealers.
    But some have proposed a similar limit on rifles and shotguns in the wake of last week's Florida shooting.
    NRA spokeswoman Jennifer Baker says, "We need serious proposals to prevent violent criminals and the dangerously mentally ill from acquiring firearms," but says raising the age requirement on shotguns and rifles from 18 to 21 would punish "law-abiding citizens for the evil acts of criminals."

    I hope he sacrifices bump stocks as a ploy and leaves the other measures behind. Bump stocks are incredibly ineffective to boot. Give the anti-gunners a Pyrrhic victory.

    Report: Trump Open to Raising ‘Minimum Age for Owning Certain Firearms’

    http://www.breitbart.com/big-governm...tain-firearms/

    by AWR Hawkins21 Feb 2018

    A “White House source” informed Fox News that President Trump is open to raising the “minimum age for owning certain firearms.”

    The federal minimum age for purchasing a handgun is 21-years old while the minimum age for purchasing a long gun is 18. The ability to buy long guns at age 18 came under scrutiny after 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz carried an AR-15 into a gun-free zone in Florida and opened fire on students, killing 17.

    Fox News reports that Trump is “open to…a rise in the minimum age for owning certain firearms” in the wake of the Florida attack.

    This news emerged on the same day that Trump directed the DOJ to finalize plans to ban bump stocks amid the current gun control outcry. It also came on the day that NRP’s Mara Liasson asked White House Press Sarah Sanders if Trump would be willing to reinstate the 1994-2004 federal “assault weapons” ban. Sanders replied, “We haven’t close doors on any front.”

    The Washington Post reports that the idea of raising minimum age for gun purchases came up while Trump was having dinner with Geraldo Rivera.

    Riveria suggested “raising the minimum age at which a person could buy a semiautomatic weapon from 18 to 21.”

    The AP reports the White House confirmed “the idea of raising the age limit to buy an AR-15 was on the table for discussion.”
    The comments are funny. They don't really seem to have a problem with Trump doing this.

    I wish a gave enough a $#@! to dig it up and post the part of Lil' Marco's talk (that NBC was sure to play this morning on the Propaganda Show) where he says something along the lines of ".....if we need to take those rights away we will......."

Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” ― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

    Why?

    What possible good, in today's environment, would accrue from giving the Bolshevik left a "victory" of any sort?

    All you do is sent off waves of fear and capitulation, and the left is never going to see us as "rational" and "reasonable".

    This will just embolden them to push harder.

    $#@! that, no compromise, ever.

    Go down swinging, if that is what it comes to.
