This pretty much sums it up. A Congress controlled by demo's and a president demo = guns are pretty much screwed. Probably time to stock up on soon to be banned rifles if he gets in office. Maybe I can make a fortune reselling them

This is based on the assumption that Democrats are ALL anti-gun. Something that has not been demonstrated.

They don't all have to be anti-gun just enough of them to make a majority in Congress

What's the Dem majority in the House, 35 or so?
And the Senate is tied, isn't it?

51-49 I believe. One or two might be independants like Joe Leiberman who have aligned themselves with the Dems.

It's all academic really as Congressional majority could change hands again in November.

Anyone with half a brain can look up the Omens voting record and unless they are a complete fool then realise that responce is nothing but his team attempting to blow sunshine up your @ss.

Same deal with McCain. Both major US candidates are Tools for the anti's. This election is a major Sh|t sandwich.

Hope the Heller vs. DC case goes for favor of individual rights. That would make more "sensible" legislation look unsensible. Unless of course the SC gives a very narrow opinion.
