"The Public Safety and Second Amendment Rights Protection Act." The NRA weeniewagon is out of the Fairfax garage again. "Background checks" are not a part of "gun control." Really?

ABC reports on the upcoming great dead elephant party/NRA sellout: Senators Crack Impasse on Gun Background Check

“I’ve got to tell you candidly, I don’t consider background checks to be gun control. I think it’s just commonsense,” Toomey said. “If you pass a criminal background check, you get to buy a gun, no problem. It’s the people who fail a criminal or a mental health background check that we don’t want to have a gun.”

The name of the agreement underscores its goal to try to appeal to both sides of the gun debate: The Public Safety and Second Amendment Rights Protection Act. The bill would not require record-keeping of guns for private citizens, which is a key sticking point for critics.

The NRA was advised of the compromise and has been a part of the discussions. It remained an open question how forcefully the group would oppose the measure. A statement from the organization called it “a positive development” that the universal background checks that were part of President Obama’s gun bill would be replaced.

"The Public Safety and Second Amendment Rights Protection Act?!?" These assholes believe in the Second Amendment about like Adolf Hitler believed in the Constitution of the Weimar Republic or Joseph Stalin believed in individual liberty. Who do these collectivist mokes think they're fooling?

The phrase "not require" leaves the door open for monumental abuse. My interpretation is exactly the one that will be adopted by the FBI. Make no mistake, Toomey and the other sleaze bags were well aware of this throughout the negotiations. Why they are so hell bent to give Obama a victory is beyond me; especially after he has savaged them in the MSM. Screw 'em all!; April 11, 2013 at 6:47 AM

Basically Chris Cox says that NRA is now "unequivocally opposed to S.649" and will be scoring cloture vote on the bill.

This is what happens when you shine the light of truth on their backroom deals.

I hope you don't read anything past gunshow loophole, if you do you will see how you got taken for a ride.; April 11, 2013 at 10:29 AM
Anonymous said...: Actually, they're fooling quite a few people. That's the root of the problem. It pays to remember what Herr Goebbels said about truth. The truth is never as important as what people believe. He also said it is not in the interest of the state to spread the truth. He may have been one of the worst examples of humanity to ever walk the planet, but he was an expert at shaping public opinion, and leaders since the fall of the Third Reich, including our current crop, have used his ideas on us.; April 11, 2013 at 10:34 AM
Anonymous said...: Remember it was the "Firearm owner Protection Act" that prohibited civilian ownership of any full auto or select fire weapons made after 1986. If I recall the NRA was OK with that one as well.; April 11, 2013 at 10:37 AM
Anonymous said...: Can someone please tell me HOW this "background check" is supposed to work? Exactly WHERE do they get this so called "background" from? And WHERE do the go to "check it"?
Thanks; April 11, 2013 at 10:55 AM
ebola131 said...: So Toomey turns out to be the latest version of Arlen Specter, a traitor to the Constitution if there ever was one.
And that guy promoted himself as a true Constitutionalist.
We may as well face reality. They're coming for the guns and ammo....one way or another, this version of Government will run everything.
Picture the giant steamroller, racing downhill, crushing everyone in voting booths...reality.
They will not change course without an outside impetus to do so.
When?

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
