Has the GOP already caved?

(1/1)

Mudnrox:
Has anybody seen or heard about this?

I saw that yesterday.  All I'm getting from that is that one person is ok with caving, not necessarily the whole GOP.  And we don't even know if the person who wrote that is a Senator, Representative, a Congressional aide, or even someone's spouse. 

My .02, this letter changes nothing.  We still need to be hitting Congress HARD with letters, phone calls, and email.

Agreed

I'm cautiously optimistic about no Federal legislation. Komrade Feinstein's bill has 0 chance to pass as is, but might get watered-down enough to escape the Senate- but I doubt it. I think gun-control in any form passing the House is unlikely.

However, I fully expect the Buffoon in Chief to 'do something' about imports with Exec Orders and would bet the farm on several states (the usual suspects) implementing even more draconian 'Assault-Weapon' bans, Magazine restrictions, etc. The bad deal for those behind enemy lines in the Northeast & California is about to get worse.

ETA- I believe we MUST speak up to keep pressure on, even those that are pro 2A.

For once congressional gridlock could be a good thing for us.  It's hard to see the house and senate agreeing on much of anything these days.   ;D
