Not gonna happen
Via ACK, comes word of Bredesen saying the anti-gun steam will pick up next year:
“I think an awful lot of people who didn’t really engage on this issue but felt very strongly on the other side might get engaged the next time,” Bredesen said. “This is an issue being driven by a few thousand people who are very passionate.” He credited recent press coverage with informing people [incorrectly – ed.] on the issue.
“I think an awful lot of people who didn’t really engage on this issue but felt very strongly on the other side might get engaged the next time,”
Yup, I’m sure the Brady Campaign will activate their Nashville division and spring into action. Oh, that’s right, they don’t have one. They exist on paper, in some folks’ minds, and in an office suite in DC. Whereas the gun rights folks have lots of grassroots activists who get stuff done. The other thing about it is, and it illustrates why we win, people are passionate about rights. People, other than tyrants, are very seldom passionate about restricting others.

In the last 90 days, the American people have bought and paid for enough arms and ammo to arm the entir Chinese and Indian armies. I think they have already spoken about GUN CONTROL:)-

Isn’t next year an election year? Anti-gunners coming out of their holes right before we conduct job continuation reviews would be a good thing.
Or was Bredesen talking about the anti-gunner anger increasing next year?

Anger, definitely. Violence, maybe.
Bans?
Well, I’d have said Americans would never elect a Socialist, so . . .
