Don’t understand the timing here.

It’s almost as if all these bills are timed so they will never really pass, but drum up talking points during election cycles…
The beginning of every Congress is just a barrage of bills of every kind from everywhere. Most will never go any further.
They do it just to say they did something.
Knowing it doesn’t have a chance in hell of getting anywhere.

Never pass with Pelosi as Sphincter of the House. Pure theater at this point.
But it looks good when they send out fundraising letters for their re-election campaign, don’tcha know?
So for all you guys that waited on the HPA to pass before you bought cans three years ago - how did that work out for ya?
Everyone complains that we aren’t going on the offensive, then when we do, half of them talk about timing.
They rolled out their shit, we rolled out our. Would anyone really be happier if we were sitting on our hands. More importantly we should roll out this shit, and more, every damn year because we just might catch them sleeping one time.
It’s maddening that NOBODY from the pro-2A camp puts forth any effort unless they KNOW they can win. It’s like everyone is too busy trying to prove how much they know about politics and meanwhile anti-2A people are throwing shit against the wall and I’ll be damned if some of it doesn’t stick every now and then and we’re just looking around like “I’ll be damned, they got that passed.” With that mindset it’s a wonder we haven’t lost even more of our freedoms to this point.
It would have been nicer if they did this a month ago
They had 2 years to roll it out when Republicans had both houses.
Seems they want to say “we tried” without actually trying.
Its like walking and shooting one handed through a uspsa course. “I tried”
No you didnt.
These rollouts are to show who in the GOP is trying. When you have Republicans like Ryan killing bills, you can’t blame everyone for it.
This is theater, yes. I’d like to see some more cretics theatre that can garner bipartisan support, like tax credits for gun safes. The gun community care about safety as much as anyone. To create incentives for it without dictating everyone lock em up is good for everyone.
But no, we swing for the fences and complain it doesn’t work.
So we shouldn’t do it now at all because it doesn’t seem like a slam dunk? I agree it should have been done every single year, but here we are and this is what it is. Start sending emails, everyone should know the drill.
I personally wish that we went after the sporter clause when we had the majority, but we didn’t. I’d be thrilled with any effort to get rid of it at any time, even now.
I think they should just propose a bill to put Trump on Mt. Rushmore while they are proposing “bills we propose to stir up the base that we have no intention of passing.”
Presumably, all the democrats can vote against so all the republicans can now vote in favor without worry.
They’re not trying, if they were trying they would have done this when it could pass. I don’t believe for one second the GOP as a whole (some exceptions) want these bills to pass. This is a half-assed attempt to make the “base” happy.
Ya know…if we bundled Trump Rushmore with HPA and national reciprocity…we might get something.
Do you think that is how the Dems view the AW Ban every time Feinstein trots it out?
How many calls did each of you make to your reps and how many emails did you send pushing to pass this?
Don’t lose hope. Don’t pussy out.
The more you push, the better.
If we get on the same team and quit this “poor us, woe is me” shit and exert our will we can make shit happen.
Spend as much time getting involved as bitching online and we may just win some for a change…
Guys this is very simple. It’s done in an attempt to kill the new assault weapons ban bill. If the GOP can attach this bill to the AWB then the left will usually kill their own bill. Has been done before!
Sure would be nice if we could get representatives that actually represent their base…
It’s all our fault this hasn’t happened. I know every time I go to a restaurant and learn the staff has spit in my food I don’t just stop going there. I keep going back over and over until I win them over to doing what they were getting paid to do in the first place.
