I dunno. This seems different somehow. I can't put my finger on it, but people on the right seem more riled up, more angry, more itching for a fight. I mean, when in the recent past did you have people shouting out town hall meetings or bringing guns to presidential rallies? It seems to me that the right is trying to intimidate people that disagree. And if intimidating doesn't work, what's next?
I'm not sure about your original post.. I'm with Ikari on this one, there is no stomach here for revolt / real change.
The bringing of firearms to the rallies was a way of protest, by gun owners against anti-gun sentiments that Obama's staff has. While Obama has continually stated he'll never take our guns away but that he believes in common sense gun control.... His staff (Eric Holder, Hilary Clinton, and various others) have all insisted that they renew the AWB that Clinton passed in '94.
While this likely won't happen, considering gun sales are through the roof.. (over 1m purchased last month)... It's still a very real possibility once the dems keep power in the 2010 elections. I don't know what's going to happen, but I do remember the liberals losing all of their power in '96, because of the Assault Weapons Ban they imposed... So I think they're treading very lightly on the subject... with intent on re-visiting it sometime.
Keeping in mind, this is all speculation on my part.
That they are idiots?
Neat, exercise your rights in this country and you're an "idiot". I love liberal double-talk.
maybe I'm just a bit paranoid of the militia types.
Being a firearms enthusiast, I am not part of the militia... If I were called on by my State Govenor to serve in the State Militia in a time of Crisis.. then I would dutifully serve... until then, I'm just a ordinary citizen who likes firearms, and precision long range shooting.
What proof have you offered that he is destroying the 2nd Amendment? Please link me to the legislation.
How come conservatives aren't protesting that? Will they bring thermometers and stethoscopes to those protests when they do?
You're just being facetious, it's been all over the news for the last year with Eric Holder and Hilary both talking about our "gun problem" in light of violence in Mexico... and they're both angling to impose a second AWB. While the likeliness of it actually happening is slim... there still exists that possibility.
