Don't let a little thing like controversy get in the way of Progress! It's actually really inspiring to see 2a debate become the high school civics class that they cancelled so many years ago. There are so many people walking around who have no idea about the constitution, never mind why we have checks and balances and three branches of government,, etc. The idea is to build a stable republic, because tyranny has a short shelf life and tends to drag the population back into the dark ages.
Thanks to everyone who took the time to attend the meeting and stand up for our rights.

Besides Pelosi's infamous absurd line line of having to pass Obamacare in order to find out what's in it (that worked out well...), is the equally infamous Carolyn McCarthy's "thing that goes up" answer when asked "What is a barrel shroud?". That was her bill (an "assault weapons" ban) that she introduced, and she didn't know what the language of the bill was describing, but she knew she wanted it banned. That's the level of knowledge of these politicians as they pass laws that diminish our rights and freedom. They're all just following orders. I've mentioned before that my state senator believed that anyone could walk in to any gun store and buy a "machine gun". He voted FOR every civilian disarmament bill even after I attempted to educate him about reality. I'm disgusted, disheartened, and, in a way, frightened.
Speaking of ignorance. Is it any wonder that ignorant politicians can get elected in the first place and then get re-elected for essentially their entire lifetime when we have an electorate like this?
Great news from WaPo/ABC poll: 13% of Americans understand due processhttp://hotair.com/archives/2016/06/28/great-news-from-wapoabc-poll-13-of-americans-understand-due-process/By an 86/13 split, Americans support the use of secret watch lists to block the exercise of the Second Amendment — and another 72% may have no issue with infringing on the Fourth Amendment, either.
[The "good" news (though the politicians can do whatever they want independent of the electorate's desires...)]
Let’s start with the assault-weapons ban response. A look at the raw data from pollster Langer Associates shows this to be the second-lowest level of support in the past 22 years.
