    Ah, they're just postponing the likely inevitability (if they have their way). I think it is much more likely we won't really see any new or significant gun control of any form this year or next. I think they are waiting until the 2010 elections, and if they gain an even larger majority then I think the end of 2010 and after could quite possibly turn into a living hell. That's why we need to make sure the anti-gun nuts don't win. ;)

    They may wait longer than 2010. Obama does want a second term, after all. If him/his party push gun control after the midterms, he risks people remembering it for his next election. Plus, it's no less a risk to Congress, since they'll have elections at the same time.

    IMO, wait until after 2012. If Obama wins and the Dems keep their majority, they'll push shortly after the inauguration.

    Feinstein actually said on 60 Minutes that they did not have the votes or public opinion to push for gun control right now. After the last time around, I actually think they are trying to play it a little safe and protect/expand their majority control to the point that they don't have to worry about opposition or public backlash before they try again.

    But then again, THE SKY IS FALLING!

    I believe that Osama is going to wait until we are all broke and desperate. Then offer a government buy back of some kind. Then for those of us who cant be broken, he will have the "global poverty act" instated. When the "GPA" is instated NATO will have full control and ban small arms under the GPA laws. That way when TSHTF he can point the finger at NATO and pass the blame. NATO will be our NWO leader!!!

    I think it may have something to do with the millions of new gun owners.

    Banning the most popular rifles, handgun, and magaines used by over 90 million, and growing, Americans would not be the smartest thing to do. Black, white, rich, and poor all have guns, and we all love them. Most of the intelligent ones will vote for them.

    When there were dangerous idiots about capable of doing you damage, the old timers used to say, "Keep your mouth shut, your ears and eyes wide open and both hands over your "hiney". I don't think the mouth shut fits, we need to raise cain but the rest might be good advice with the socialists trying to steal power and kill freedom at every move......

    They're simply picking their battles. Incrementalism. While they gut the economy and slowly make ammo harder and harder to come by, they're planning their big move on our right to keep and bear arms. They have a plan, and timing is crucial. If they went for the guns right now, there would be such a backlash that none of their other communist programs would see the light of day.

    I am so glad to see someone saying this. So many of the people here are so very passionate about their beliefs that they react very emotionally. Understandable, but it's a losing tactic against folks who are so anti 2nd Amendment.

    We need to be very deliberate about how we go about stopping this. As gun owners we need to present an extremely calm image. We need to reinforce the view that we are sane, rational, law abiding citizens.

    It's tough to keep from losing your temper and ranting with some of the things that are being said, but that's exactly what is needed.

    Yeah, I think I'm preaching. Sorry about that.

    After watching the coverage of the Tea Parties, I can tell you Tech, it's going to be a tough battle. It's a shame that our country has allowed the left wing loons to run wild while moderates and the right wing are held to a different standard.


    The treatment by the MSM, and the Obama administration, of the average law abiding, tax paying, patriotic, and peaceful American was despicable at best.
