USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- James Eayrs. “History may not repeat itself. But it rhymes.”
Let’s summarize this one quickly. Bill Clinton came to power and promptly pushed gun control, giving us an assault weapons ban and the Brady Bill.
In the next mid-term elections, the following happens.
- In the Senate, a 54-46 Republican Majority.
- In the House, the GOP gained 54 seats, and Newt Gingrich became the speaker.
Al Gore’s call to ban hand-guns cost him his home state of Tennessee and the 2000 election for the Presidency. This article from CNN shows how Gore was once pro-2A until he moved onto the National scene.
So let’s ask some questions, shall we? Since Colorado has universal background checks and a hi-capacity magazine ban, why didn’t these laws prevent the shooting in Boulder, CO?
Here is a list of all laws democrat politicians have pushed through, a dream list for the gun control advocates, and they all failed!
- HB 19-1177 – Extreme Risk Protection Order
- SB 13-197 – Domestic Violence Firearm Relinquishment
- HB 13-1224 – Large Capacity Magazine Ban
- Technical Guidance on the Interpretation and Application of House Bill 13-1224 Large Capacity Magazine Ban
- Additional Technical Guidance on the Interpretation and Application of House Bill 13-1224 Large Capacity Magazine Ban
- HB 13-1229 – Private Firearm Transfers
What makes any rational person think these laws would be any more effective nationally than in Colorado?
So for every democrat congressperson, let me ask you this question.
Are you going to vote for a gun control bill that will not save a single life and cost yourself and your party your seat?
Biden didn’t have any coattails in 2020, and he carried only½ as many counties as Obama did. So dear democrat, if you’re not in a blue county (And that’s 30 of you) and you follow these votes for gun control… well.. all I can say is.. Don’t let the door hit you in the ass as you lose your seat!
Let’s change the narrative. Make gun grabbing democrats answer these questions;
Why are you passing laws that you know will not work?
Why are you taking away our rights?
Colorado already has the gun control laws you say you want, yet Boulder still happened; how is that possible?
We will remember how you vote on this issue in 2022.
So what can you do to save our 2A rights?

I’m not asking a lot of you, just that you spend five minutes and help change the liberals’ spin on this issue with a grassroots campaign. We have a republic to save.

“All political power comes from the barrel of a gun. The communist party must command all the guns, that way, no guns can ever be used to command the party.” – Mao Tze Tung, Nov 6, 1938 Mass murderer Adolf Hitler at a dinner talk on April 11, 1942 said: “The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of… Read more »
Excellent!
Gun control is a failure and Democrats are idiots for thinking they can write laws that criminals will follow. Democrats are delusional and are pushing anti American values and appear to be using Hilers play book . Nobody will be safe in a society that relies on the government to provide safety . Ideology is not reality .
By this point in history prominent progressives and leftists have figured out that more law does not equal more progress nor does more law equal more social peace. You cannot legislate or litigate your way our of a failing culture. And it is a failing culture that 140 years of progressive public policy has delivered. Not progress, not social peace. Failed culture. So now the few who have wised up realize that passing Jim Crow types of laws against the rights of vilified minorities no longer works save in one arena: gaining power. Passing these laws rakes in the cash… Read more »
The flaw in this reasoning, unfortunately, is that in the 1994 election we did not have Silly Corn Valley and computers controlling the election. Until such time as we reinstate voter ID and in person voting we will never win another election.
Pretty much this right here.
Until ballot counting is done 50-50 between parties nothing will be fixed. No mail in ballots besides absentee with strict rules. And adjudication needs to go. If ballot is not identifiable it needs tossed. https://www.westernjournal.com/game-changing-video-shows-blank-ga-ballots-turned-votes-using-dominion-machine/
“Why are you taking away our rights?” No, those Leftist/Progressive assholes cannot rescind our rights,… they can only “take away” our practical ability to exercise those rights without having to deal with potential legal consequences…
My rights are exactly what they are [no more, no less]… and I will exercise those rights (all of them – natural, human, and civil). I cheerfully invite anyone who disagrees to go straight to hell… and, on the way down, to commit at least one act of auto-erotocism. Are we crystal clear about this? We’d better be.
Excellent fundamental argument against gun control laws and regulations. This is precisely why gun control does not work: it literally only effects the law abiding. If we create an environment where only law and criminals have guns it will be the Wild West all over again and bring about several hundred years of organized crime and require a great reset or police state to protect citizens. Regardless to the fantasy of the Democrats and their allies, citizens are not subjects and we have the guaranteed right to carry a gun open or concealed in every corner and capital of the… Read more »

DUH….A politician with a law never stops a bad guy with a gun.
He only controls the good guys which is his true agenda.
