Although this is just pandering, (after all, Obamalama ding dong could do the same thing with a stroke of his Koran) the highlighted part is what their key thought is.

I did not know that I could legally purchase a grenade launcher.. and since when does a .22 make a list for a assault rifle ban? This looks like the California bill.

Unconstitutional and traitorous

You can if you can find a Destructive Device FFL dealer in your state and don't mind paying the $200 NFA tax on the launcher and each grenade.

The GOP will save us.

On this they might, but only because they realize Republicans throughout the United States, along with some Independents and Liberals, are extremely fed up with the status quo. Republican lawmakers are going to be forced (again, but barely) to do what's right with regards to the lefts attempts at gun control.

Otherwise, the GOP is too busy trying to find a way to keep their trough full of bribes filled while they watch Trump and Cruz leading most polls. Apparently, lawmakers CAN legally make laws which enrich themselves financially. If you're a lawmaker, it looks as if insider trading is NOT unlawful. Regular citizens have no such loophole. RINO's know that if Trump and especially Cruz (or both!) take the White House, that all that graft will most likely come to a screeching halt. Cruz (and hopefully Trump) would then force lawmakers to live by ALL the same rules and laws they impose on American citizens. I'd guess alot less people will be willing to run for office at that time, unless they really actually had intentions to SERVE THE PEOPLE in the first place, instead of serving themselves at the peoples' expense.

Then again, none of this makes a difference if Iran nukes us! But I digress!

The GOP is soon to be dead if they can't find a way to get a little more modern on social issues. As much as social conservatism appeals to a good portion of their base, that base is aging and declining in numbers while the US population grows in diversity every year. We can argue about it all we want, but those are the statistical facts. Jeb Bush has figured it out - perhaps inadvertently, which is a large part of why he's been successful in Florida. Unfortunately he's not as good as Trump in terms of taking advantage of the media circus.

The fact that someone like Trump is running what appears to be a successful platform should be a wake up call. He'd be a disastrous president - not because he speaks his mind plainly and is unencumbered from the traditional financial bribery (which I applaud), but because a president that is that confrontational isn't going to be good on the world stage with other nuclear based powers. His conservative pandering is interesting - but it lacks any real-word view of how he'd accomplish the ideas that he throws out there (let's build a wall and deport everyone)... He has a serious "filter" issue - and that's appreciated in front of the media, but I don't want him in a world-power meeting representing the united states.

I think he knows which social buttons to push and how to stir up a crowd. I think he knows very little about how to fund or how to accomplish what he's talking about. Likely he'd gridlock with congress (worse than it is already) and the associated lawsuits would last for decades.

A viable 3rd party would make things interesting. Too bad it doesn't exist yet.

On top of this, congress is a train wreck and can't get anything passed without internal pandering to business interests behind closed doors. One way to fix that might be to make the private negotiations public and send the cockroaches running from the light....

Another thing we need to fix is no more spending without a pay-it-down business plan in place on every bill. Spending our way out of a deficit might have some merit in terms of economic stimulation, but it's not a very good way to manage a government.

Excellent post - two thumbs up!

Social issues like gun confiscation?

Good video from Wild Bill.

Doesn't matter to me what Washington or Obama does as I wont be complying. Ever. I'm in no hurry to meet my maker but I will not exist at the sturdiness of whatever wall or door is my sole defense against thug's in Society or thug's from Washington. If this fight is not peaceful so be it. It will lay at the feet of Washington and lead directly to it's destruction. I doubt Texas and many other Free States will comply with this garbage.
