While reading this thread, I saw several iterations of "I know it won't pass" or "I am hoping it won't pass" or "If it passes, which I don't think it will...". I don't worry (too much) that a ban will pass in this legislative session. I do worry about the next. If the Republican and Tea Party base don't get their acts together and come up with some concise plans to get a hold of their base memberships and come together, the House will be lost, and then it won't be a matter of if, but when.

About 4 years ago, the day of the first election of the annointed one, I look at my husband and said, "Secede". He looked at me kind of funny. I have felt that way every day since. I was in a Facebook conversation with an anti-gun woman, and she said something to the effect that I don't need high capacity, automatic weapons because the 2A was written so that civilians could protect themselves from their government, and that she knew that would never happen in America today. I promptly informed her that I would take up arms at any time, against anyone or any group, that infringed on my Constitutional rights. Try me. Again, we have to get our like-minded people re-united instead of divided, lest DiFi get her wish in the next session.

She sounds like a real student of history (sarcasm alert). Would I be likely to lose if I bet this woman has never read a non-fiction book since her last day in a classroom? My son recently graduated from UT Austin and according to him, at least 50% of the students there were completely ignorant of any historical event that happened before they were born, and a lot of them that happened after (and saying 50% is being generous). And let's not forget, UT is where a large number of those who graduated in the top 10% of their high school classes choose to go to college. That's how the Socialists are winning....they got control of the educational system and eliminated all content that doesn't serve their agenda, which obviously includes thinking.

It's been working for almost 80 years as far as I can tell. Look, I don't like it, but the reality is if the NFA is Constitutional then adding semiautomatics to the list of NFA firearms doesn't change that. Say what you want but that's reality.

That depends on how you define working.

anygunanywhere specifically asked about Americans being able to keep firearms that are registered.

That was the question asked and answered truthfully. I have been able to keep everything I have on the national registry. His response to that dose of reality was ad hominem attacks. I thought there was a forum rule against that but maybe I should thank him for the reminder why I spend my online time in other venues.

Good luck to all of you. With friend like him, you're going to need it.[Signature block: Better, not bitter]
