NEVER let any of the contrarians who post here with the intent to disrupt or muddle the current political situation influence you. Their goal is to make the far left appear "reasonable" and willing to "compromise" if we would only "work" with them.
We are in fact locked in a deadly battle for the very soul and essence of the United States no matter who tells you we have to "compromise" with progressives.(socialists)
Their version of "compromise" can be readily seen in the area of "gun control". The progressives claimed at that time that the passage of the Gun Control Acts of 1968 and then again in 1986 gave the government all the power and authority to regulate firearms that would ever be necessary.
Conservatives along with the NRA caved in here and "compromised" with the socialists thinking that this would be the end of the line on "gun control".
Obama has demonstrated the duplicity of socialists with his "lines"(Syria for example) that just keep moving. This has been the same case with the line on gun control. The socialists demands will end when every firearm has been surrendered and destroyed.
At that point in time since we will be disarmed no capability will remain to protest any and all actions to remove what remaining freedoms we may still have.
If the NRA and the rest of us who value our 2nd Amendment right had heeded the "advice" of the likes of King Brown we would now have Universal Background Checks which is the prelude to Universal Registration and ultimately confiscation.
If you don't believe this look at what's happening in States such as NY and Conn right now where the government has followed this exact blueprint.
It would behoove ALL of you to NEVER forget this Quote from the California socialist Diane Feinstein:
"Discussing why the 1994 act only prohibited the manufacture or import of "assault weapons",*** instead of the possession and sale of them, Feinstein said on CBS-TV's 60 Minutes, February 5, 1995, "If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an outright ban, picking up every one of them . . . Mr. and Mrs. America, turn 'em all in, I would have done it. I could not do that. The votes weren't here."[29]
***As an additional point: States like California have expanded and convoluted the term "assault weapon" so that at some point in time the only non assault weapons will be cap pistols.
