Pic Of The Moment: So Dems Will Pay A Political Price For Supporting Background Checks, Huh?

[nonoyes]

29. You look at things in a rather simplistic singular way.

I wish I had your skill for platitudes, speculation, and coming to conclusions based upon only one or two facts, when the polling numbers have moved so far, so fast.

I also see that you have not been following the pulse of the American people much, since the last fall's election, when the will of the people, Republican, Democrat, and independent voter alike, was rather well-defined: they wanted Congres to work together to get things done. And then the Sandy Hook chlid massacre took place in December, after the Aurora, Colorado massacre in the summer, and after the Sikh massacre outside Minneapolis.

People can only take so much before they get fed up and want Congress to act responsibly on gun registration, including that 95% of PA gun owners in the most recent survery listed above shows. They all want background checks, Repbulican voters, Democratic Voters, Independent voters, gun owners and non-owners, 90+% of these people, nationwide.

People will vote for candidates in 2014 on other issues IF mandatory backgound checks are already in place 18 months from now.
People will NOT vote for a Republican because the Dem in office voted for background checks, they will vote for other reasons

This NRA mythology strategy of scaring Democractic voters to NOT support background checks in 2013, (as the NRA and LaPierre, himself supported ON TAPE in 1999), that mythical horse-manure the NRA is putting out there to scare some Dems away from supporting mandatory universal background checks, you seem to be eating it up that sh*T.

But keep your opinions steady, the events around the world From 1994 and up to 2004, (when the AWB was not renewed), were dramatically changed in 2001, on September 11, and under Bush's regime, everybody learned to fear anyone different from themselves. So the need for AWB was not very important in 2004, everybody that ever wanted a gun, wanted a bigger gun then, and America's NRA was only too eager to increase big gun sales, and paid Congress well for letting the law expire.

As someone said earlier today, the NRA was worried for a while that Congress might actually DO something on guns, but that fear is quickly subsiding, given the typical cowardly avoidance of action of our current Congress.

As Rachel says, 90% of Americans in a poll is a HUGE number, not even 90% of Americans like pizza or vacations!
