"What's behind the shift? A budding relationship between the gun lobby and Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill. After Holder mentioned the ban, the National Rifle Association sent out action alerts to its members and bombarded Hill offices with calls. Sixty-five House Dems dashed off a letter to Holder opposing such a ban, while Speaker Nancy Pelosi—echoing the NRA's mantra on all gun-control issues—said she backed "enforcing the laws we have now."
NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre told NEWSWEEK that Hill Democrats have "learned their lesson" from 1994, when they enacted the ban and subsequently lost control of Congress. They've also learned that cozying up to the NRA can pay big dividends. Last year Democrats received 20 percent of the nearly $1.2 million that the NRA pumped into congressional campaign coffers—more than twice what it gave to Dems just six years earlier. The way things are going, this could be more than a shotgun wedding".



Just another reason for everyone to be an NRA member!

If it were me I wouldn't have used the dancing banana avatar for this thread. The dancing banana is sacred in the opencarry.org community.

This country is a powder keg. If they know what's good for them (politically) they will leave it alone.They have to ignore the bozo's request to ban our freedom. This is our right. Not just throwing a dog a bone. This is how it's supposed to be.



Use the dancing banana for a victory, not just digging in and taking the defensive and hoping for the best.

Its too bad, nothing ignites the political right like a good old fashioned gun ban.

T Dubya,


Sorry, but I believe it is the Dancing Monkey (Bob-Cav's?) that is the most "sacred" animated gif here.
