OleCowboy I share your feelings. Unfortunately the frog boils slowly and many do not think we are in
serious danger of a VERY different America.
The time to use the pen, emails, and phone calls to representatives is NOW! Before it's too late. Sadly, many think we are far from serious problems even as some Politian’s have called for the repeal of the 22nd amendment thus allowing Obama to remain in office and continue destroying America. This IS really happening!

I do not think Americans should take up arms but one cannot deny the mass purchasing of firearms by citizens nor the mass ramping up of the government with the purchase of 1.6 BILLION rounds of ammo, 15,000 new IRS agents, 7000 AR 15's. Police departments are becoming militarized with armored vehicles, and the posse comatatus act, while not repealed, can virtually be over ridden by the president. The NDAA allows for the holding of US citizens without a lawyer and other unthinkable issues.
THESE LAWS HAVE PASSED!
Those that think the government would not fire on US citizens need to reexamine history. Waco, Ruby ridge, Kent State, and many more government attacks on citizens have occurred. I do not think we're looking at a revolution but returning veterans have been called possible terrorist right wing extreamists. REALLY? The very guys the government trained to protect America?
I do not mean to be an alarmist and advocate a “panic OMG let’s lock n load” mentality. But the time is right now to get Politian’s concerned about their next election.
Remember that's all that drives them is another term.
The AWB is doomed in the Senate and the House due to 1994 when the Democrats lost control of both the House and Senate. They were shellacked and didn’t recover for years! They understand their vulnerability on the 2nd amendment.
However small incremental changes are being made that slowly turn up the heat on the frog in the pot of water. The AWB is nothing more than a smoke and mirrors play to get you to avoid paying attention to a national database dressed up as a universal background check. What exactly is that? To buy a firearm they already run an NCIC background check. That's federal and universal!
I’m not much of a betting man but I’d wager less then 20% of the folks on these boards have written, called, or emailed their representatives.
Remain silent and the sheep will be lead to slaughter. 70% of America does not want Obamacare. No one thought the Supreme court would uphold it. No one thought Obama would get reelected, in short….no one is thinking!
We do not want a federal database under the guise of a universal background check. Our current background check system works fine. Nothing will stop nut jobs like the guy that shot Chris Kyle or the mass school shooters other than more CHL carriers and armed teachers.
We do not want our country to collapse economically, yet there has been no budget in four years. Did you know there is a law requiring a budget? Did you write your representatives about it? Do not wait until we are
at the line in the sand.
Fast and Furious, Obamacare, Solyndra, Benghazi, Assault weapons ban, Sandra Fluke., Buffett rule, F16's and Abrams tanks to Egypt along with 150 BILLION of your tax dollars all FREE. The list could go on and on. Think Bush could have done all this?
The left is very active. Are you?
Call, write, email, complain, threatened Politian’s with their jobs. Tell them to vote the way their constituents demand or you'll support their opponent. They ALL only want one thing…reelection!

What I see is the most corrupt and secrecy administration I have seen in my life. A trampling of the Constitution by a narcissistic ego driven, radical muslim who is not an American by any standard of the definition...and I do not care if he was born on the steps of the White House. His political outlook is derived from Marxism, his economic views are based upon the Central Planning model of Socialism and his implementation is right off the pages of Saul Alinsky's rules for radicals, and as my mother told me many times 'see your friends, see you'...he has surrounded himself with some of the most radical, corrupt people one could find, Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, Bernadine Dohm, George Soros and the list of communist marxist socialists is as long as a NYC phone book. He is a racist who bears a hatred for America. We know more about G Washington than we do him in fact we know less about our current President than any of the 40 plus before him. His records and life is sealed.
I FIRMLY believe he is planning he will become our first dictator (sidebar: there are about 45 current dictators in the world today, most were elected and most gave themselves the title of PRESIDENT).
Whitehouse.gov: According to the budget on the site, our nat debt will approach $23 TRILLION at the end of his term, that is about $200,000 per man, woman and child in the US. Impossible to payback and will result in the collapse of our economy...
