The American gun owning public is being duped again, just like we were duped the two weeks before the election when we were convinced that Romney was ahead by several percentage points. The media, including our “friends” at Fox, Drudge, and other “conservative” outlets, are attempting to sell us the concept that the “assault weapon ban” legislation can’t pass, and this is a lie. We are told that Bill Clinton sternly warned his party that they will be punished in the mid-terms, and that the NRA is “too powerful” for any real legislation to make it through congress. This is also a lie. Behind our backs, the political machine is crafting public opinion in what have become the majority voting blocks to convince national and state legislators that they are safe for the next election… and they are safe. American gun owners didn’t show up in force for the last election, and we are not feared as a voting block any longer. Don’t be a fool and believe it when they tell us we can’t lose. We are going to get beaten again if we don’t act. And this time it isn’t a slippery slope. This time they are going to outlaw an entire class of guns with no loopholes.

This was exactly my concern when Fox News was making claims that Romney was ahead in the polls.  When you start pushing this information, people get lazy and don't vote because they figure it is in the bag.

Honestly, the polls were pretty accurate. There were just some who refused to believe the vast majority of the data.

I also think an AWB has less of a chance with Obama as President. Had one gotten to a President Romney's desk, he would sign it. With Republicans in Congress so opposed to the President, I don't think there is a chance of a bill getting to the White House. That, of course, is not a reason for complacency. We need to keep up the pressure.

Not to mention all the corrupt end around procedural tactics they'll invent in the next few months.

I don't believe this is true.  Now mind you, I am NOT a huge Romney fan.  However, Romney is a chameleon as are all the career politicians.  Once in office he would have towed the party line, for better or worse.
