Gee - just seeing Turbin* and Finegold* on that lists fills me with a sense of ease.
After all, they're just looking out for the working man, right? 
*Sp. intentional - Turbin to reflect Dickie loathing of our troops, and Finegold as in "all gold, from any source, donated to my campaign is OK by me" |

I don't see anything coming from this before the election and after the election this committee will look a little different, methinks.
Feingold could be gone, Specter is out, and if there is a 50/50 senate split the chairmanship is gone too.

The ATF cannot fine wayward dealers; its only tool at the moment involves revoking a miscreant's license. And that happens only about 100 times annually. ONLY!?! Only 100 times a year? That's a ridiculous number of FFLs revoked. |

Pretty good behavior, I'd say. There used to be over 300,000, and that was within the last 15-20 years. An 80% decrease in licensed firearms dealers in less than 20 years is not just markets or coincidence, especially when firearms sales have been climbing. |

Ill bet a lot of money on that one. The problem here is whether the dems give a fuck what kyl has to say. I doubt now is the time for them to bring gun restrictions to the vote though. They would get slaughtered in november. Lame duck might be another story but doing something like that in the lame duck would absolutely embolden the republicans in fighting Obama. They aren't going to fuck with guns because they don't have to. Nobody has decided to shoot at them yet. |

That said I don't think the Dems want to piss off the gunowners in what is already going to be quite the pounding they're going to take come November. It would turn an already bad (For the Dems) situation into the worst possible atmosphere they've ever ran in and give us twelve more years of Republican rule. Remember that even Bill Clinton specifically cited the 1994 AWB as the #1 reason his party got slammed in '94 and again blamed that single piece of legislation for Gore's defeat. Regardless of who we're talking about gun control is *WILDLY* unpopular even, dare I say, less popular than the Healthcare bill. There is no single legislation that so drives people specifically against everything Democrats stand for quite like Gun Control, and they know it. Just them hinting at gun control gets the people pissed, causes panic buying, etc. Example: Eric Holder came out and started talking about how they were going to re-instate the AWB. Not even ten minutes elapsed between the time that moron uttered those words and Nanci Pelosi said exactly the opposite, that she not only did not see any chance of gun control happening, but then parroted the NRA's line that we've already got enough laws on the books and we should look at enforcing the ones we've got. While I agree with everyone that viligiance is direly needed, and we need to continuously hold their feet to the fire so they never forget, I don't think anything like this is going to happen. It took them more than a year the last time around ('93-'94) to get the crap through and they've only got a couple more months, in addition to them not wanting to commit political suicide for the forseeable future. |

I hope feinswine, schumer and franken start talking about banning everything. Ban rifles with the shoulder thing that go up. Ban rifles that don't have the shoulder thing. Ban handguns. Ban lead shot. Ban steel shot. Ban muzzleloaders. Ban airsoft. Ban BB guns. Ban hunting. Ban Olympic trap shooting. Even though it's a senate hearing I hope obunga weighs in too, with eric holder at his side. Talk about mexico and their drug war and repeat the bullshit that 3000 firearms traced to the US somehow equals 95% of the 30,000 firearms confiscated from the drug cartels.
Do it, I know you want to. If they started ranting and raving about gun bans on C-Span this close to Nov 2, it'd be the best thing to ever happen for the Tea Parties. Triage for congress?? More like trying to identify the carcasses of congressional democrats' political careers through dental records. |

Even if you buy mail order through a large dealer, you still have to transfer through a local FFL, unless you have a CR. Some of the local shops will transfer cheap, some not so cheap. I'd say the Internet has definetly hurt the profit margin though. I find the cheap guy to do the transfer, and make sure I buy stuff in his store (primers, powder) when I pick up the gun. Heck, I never knew some shops existed until I looked for a transferring dealer. Back on topic- -the more a dem talks about guns, the more people they fire up, and the more votes they lose. The dem voters don't come out, and the conservatives make sure they vote. Let them keep talking.... I bet the EPA got a boat load of comments in a hurry on their proposal to ban lead, which was why they rethought the issue in short order. Once the news got out, I'm sure their mailroom was overflowing. |
