Senators Introduce Assault Weapons Ban

Guys, girls, people - NES is OUR echo chamber.

Politicians are scumbags for the most part. Their allegiance is to themselves, to getting elected and staying elected. That means that they need votes. A less cynical view and the one that they present is that they CARE what the voters in their district want. Either way you slice it, they take polls to find out what their voters want so that their voters continue to put them in office.

I've read some articles over the years that show incredible numbers of voters behind every single person that contacts their senator / congress-critter. IOW, for every letter/email that they receive, there are X number of voters who feel the same way as the person who reached out to them. That's why an organized campaign can have a disproportionate affect - and that's why Bloomturd's winning.

So - take five minutes out of your gdmn busy schedule and WRITE your senator. Even if you feel it's pointless. It isn't pointless, and later on you're not saying "I could have and I didn't". It's five minutes, if that - and doesn't even cost you the price of a stamp.

Here's your starting link: U.S. Senate: Senators
You obviously don't live in Ma., waste of time contacting these socialists. They laugh at us and I'm sure the aides that take the calls or read the emails delete them instantly.
 
Lame, at best.

Put the blame where it belongs. The RINO's who pissed on Trumps leg for 2 years and then losing the House. And the 150 Million Gun Owners in America who do little, if anything, to support gun rights and the 2A.

Trump is surrounded by enemies within the RINO Party. Without his shock election many of these controls would have already been enacted. To the Leftists and the RINOS Trump is merely a hic-up. Mueller is fixing that for them.

When the majority of gun rights are lost, and it will happen, I hope history records it correctly that the 150 Million gun owners in America could have wielded a big stick. But for reasons I will never comprehend they failed to seize the day and do so.
YUP, complacency and laziness.
 
All the "will not comply" chest pumping is meaningless. Existing guns will get grandfathered in but dealers won't sell new ones.

I don't understand this thought process. Earlier in this thread, you stated that it doesn't affect us in MA because we already have a ban. Now, you're saying existing guns will be grandfathered. Big f**king deal! What don't you understand about another ban that would most likely not have a sunset clause?
 
Anyone know a link (or can type it here) of something I can cut and paste into an email and send off to senators and others on a daily basis?

That’s the part that stops me from writing to them - I suck at wording things like that in a civil way.

You're absolutely right that I don't live in Massachusetts. I lived in Connecticut, I moved to Georgia. I still summer in CT and the difference in the gun laws between the two states is simply incredible. Worse than that, it's changes that have come about within the last decade. These are changes that I've seen personally.

I write my senators and congressmen. I call their offices. I send the emails. I send checks to CCDL, I send the occasional check to GOAL and to COMM2A even though I never lived in MA. I send regular checks to SAF and I'm a lifetime member of the NRA. These gungrabbing politicians are affecting our futures, and the futures of generations to come.

If you say that there's nothing you can do - and you do nothing - then you're allowing them to have their way.
 
Why is it meaningless? and why is it considered chest pumping? I get a f***ing kick outta some of you people and your fantasy's how you think we are all good little sheep and must follow the sheep off the cliff...Some of us truly dont give a f***, live, online or in person..But don't let me get in the way of the herd mentality the podium is yours.

Who's boots do I have to lick around here for a glass of water?
You missed the point entirely. There won't be anything for us to not comply with unless you're a dealer who will keep selling banned guns. Otherwise there's no "complying" with anything - we just won't have "assault weapons" available for us to purchase anymore. Dems are just turning the heat up underneath the frog with this and there won't be much we'll be able to do to resist this crap, which is why it's vital to get ahead of it now and hammer our pols (well, maybe not in Mass...).
 
I honestly don't believe this will make it out of the Senate. There are too many Rs, and some Ds, that live in very red pro gun states that would be committing political suicide to vote for this.

Even if you don't believe that you have to wonder if Trump will veto this bill if it makes it to his desk. I think he does. I'll still call and write, but believe this is DOA. We go through this every year and as long as we keep up the resistance I don't see it going very far.

Noted, and if I came across as huffy my apologies, there are times when I say something and it might come across as anger but its really not... I get into more argument with my own ( Adult ) kids the way I text at times lol..
 

McClatchy takes their bylines from Fusion GPS. They are a cuck operation taking money from the other side. Just like the Weekly Standard was. They've been running baloney hatchet jobs on "NRA collusion with Russia" lately.

With republicans in control it won't even get a committee hearing.
 
If this bill was introduced in 1790, 1800's, pre ww2, even 1950's, it would be considered treason...? yes? So what has happened?
Treason? Got a cite for this law, its definitions and what it consists of? When was this last used?

Don't be so sure about this.


Senate would never approve it.
Again, don't be so sure of yourself.


SO, why doesn't Trump's son or sons, who are allegedly SO pro-2A, have a talk with him? Has anyone thought to get them into the same room with someone willing to bridge this gap?
 
For those keeping score, the sponsors of this travesty include:

-- Both Massachusetts senators
-- Both Connecticut senators
-- Both Rhode Island senators
-- Both New Hampshire senators
-- Half of the Vermont senators
-- Neither of the Maine senators (yet)

Advantage, Maine.

actually, advantage Utah, Wyoming, Montana, and other such places. New England and the west coast suck ass regarding freedom.

and isn't blumenthal the lying faker who made up a story about being a combat vet? what a piece of human excrement who should be called out and voted out of office!

And he was elected anyway. And re-elected.

Maybe we can get eric holder to run some of these back into the US.
