If I wanted to hide the fact that I owned firearms, I wouldn't be on a site called AR15.com. Meh, when I had the opportunity to legally obtain a gun FTF where I can use it to replace a like model 4473-ed gun I did so. Of course I make sure the newly acquired gun matches the quality/function/accuracy of the one it will replace. It's a slow process and not something I obsessed over. It took me some time (years) to do. It's just a thing I always kept in the back of my mind when trading. 
I suspect this will all blow-over but in these odd times we live in it just seems the prudent thing to do if you can do so legally in your state. |

You all need to calm down. Congress isn't going to do shit in an election year. This is all political theater because the Liberals are screaming for gun control. No matter how much they say they want more gun laws, they want to keep their jobs more. I'm not saying don't call and write your reps, but the panic is stupid and does more harm than good. Yup. Give it a week or two and it'll blow over. As someone else here said, if Sandy Hook couldn't get anything meaningful passed, this won't. (not to speak ill of those children) |

I am not a big fan of Donald Trump, but his ascension to the apparent nominee of the GOP is DIRECTLY traceable to this sort of wishy-washy "make everyone happy" behavior of the GOP over the past 20 years. Traditional Republican voters are pissed at the GOP leadership, and are looking for an alternative. They think they see one in Trump. Whether that is true or not is immaterial, as long as the traditional GOP leadership continues to do shit like Mitch McConnel's behavior. |

Did anyone actually read the linked article? They're saying that the democrats are going to flood all bills with gun control amendments, and they're going to cut them off while still in committee.
The crackdown on amendments came after the House overwhelmingly rejected an energy and water appropriations bill in late May. Many Republicans cited an amendment offered by New York Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, a Democrat, to prevent federal contractors from discriminating against LGBT employees, as their reason for voting against the bill . But they blamed Democrats for also voting against it after pushing for the amendment.
Maloney offered his amendment again on a defense spending bill. The Rules Committee met Tuesday to decide what amendments would be made in order. Sessions said he'd look at the Maloney measure with fresh eyes and didn't automatically rule it a poison pill. "I’m not going to look favorably upon people who bring an amendment, vote for it, pass it, and then kill the bill because of it," Sessions said. "And that’s the problem. It has nothing to do with the LGBT issue, gun issue, no-fly issue, flag issue. It has to do with people who want to take down the appropriations bills. That’s the point." But reading is for suckers and the 15channers would rather have paid democrat schills and their dozen troll accounts tell them what to think. |

You can't trust either party to do what is right for the country. They will only do what benefits themselves. If the RINOs in congress look at it rationally, it is entirely safe for them to vote to confiscate guns. With no way to vote them out of office without even worse socialists taking their place, we can be well and truly fucked. When the RINOs cave, as they have been doing over and over, what are we going to do about it this election? Vote for the democrat? |

Normally, that is sage advice, and I agree. But there is something else brewing in the air. I don't think they are afraid of this election cycle, because the fix is in for Clinton. They have at least five more years, if not the rest of America's future, with left-wing leadership in place. There is no more "conservative side" in Washington, as has been demonstrated by Trump, and their contempt for the heartland/traditional American is now naked. As a people, our liberty has never been so dim. |

Versus Closeted gay islamist with islamist political connections that was on the FBIs radar goes jihad and kills a bunch of gay people. Second one has a whole bunch of different dynamics at play. It calls the administrations constant insistence that muslims are our friends into question, shows the LGBT community that the left isn't protecting them, shows that PC has hamstrung a bunch of government agencies that are tasked with ferreting these shitbags out. I could go on and on about how this is a different animal altogether. Unlike Sandy Hook, this makes our political class look very, very bad on many levels. They got caught out publically, mired in a sea of PC and incompetence. They may knee jerk and do it harshly. This WA re-legalized title 2 SBR last yr. The bill was even written by a state-D. |

The only thing that will get through - and this WILL get through - is connecting the No-Fly list to NICS. And it won't look like the Dems want - it will have an appeal process and perhaps, if Cornyn's version makes it, judicial input. Remember after Sandy hook, you heard AWB and whatnot but the big mantra was UBC's. The big mantra this time is the terror watch list - and unless you're a constitutionalist, most won't blink at the concept. May as well accept it and push for it to be some transparency, process, and appealable. |

Quoted:
You all need to calm down. Congress isn't going to do shit in an election year. This is all political theater because the Liberals are screaming for gun control. No matter how much they say they want more gun laws, they want to keep their jobs more. I'm not saying don't call and write your reps, but the panic is stupid and does more harm than good. I just called one of my Senators, (Roy Blunt...claire mccaskill is a leftist sock puppet for hillary and obama), and my Rep. Both stated they are getting calls on both sides of this matter, however, among those who are verified constituents, calls are Pro 2A. Roy Blunt's staffer stated they are getting alot of calls from a number routed through a state number so they cannot verify if the caller is a constituent or not. The Blunt staffer went on to say that calls are about 50/50 split on this right now and the Anti's keep repeating the same circular leftist talking points about gun show loopholes and military assault weapons....She stated logic is useless with those people so she lets them rant and then thanks them for their time. |

I'm taking bets now. I'll bet Ryan, Cruz and Rubio support the measure. No way in hell Cruz supports anything like that. |
