    "They" got everything they wanted with FSA2013.

    But, since they got everything they wanted then, they figure they must not have wanted enough.

    It never is enough.

    So, now they want more.

    Until they have everything.

    Because that's who they are, and that's how they think.

    since none of the above named are the United States or its agencies, or are US (current or former) officials/employees acting in their official capacities, the time frame is 14 days

    Again, why should this come as newsworthy to anyone here? Haven't you been listening to them? They've been pretty consistent in touting Australian- or UK-style gun limits here. In other words, a disarmed (i.e., peaceful Utopian) society. And virtually every one of their actions support what they've been saying. When a loon makes a threat, take them at their word....and act accordingly. Otherwise, it's boiled frogs for din-din.

    Interesting, but I believe your analogy is based on a mistaken premise. That is, you presume progressive ideas are a finite thing (e.g., soup)—something you can hold, debate or improve upon. I suggest this is mistaken notion of the leftist view of the world.
    Progressive politics are like clouds—ever-changing, nearly impossible to predict and always more or less random in appearance and purpose. There's little to be gained in trying to decipher it today, because it'll be different tomorrow. The progressives, themselves, can't even tell you what their politics'll look like 10 years from now, because they, themselves, won't know 'til they get there (and focus-group-test the political winds). Trying to decipher progressives is akin to trying to figure out a two year-old with a full diaper. Can't be done.

    Progressive Politicians and two year olds with full diapers are easy to figure out... BOTH need to be changed. They are BOTH full of the same thing and demanding attention that SOMEONE ELSE works and pays for.

    Thank you for the analogy... :D:thumbsup:

    Thank you for saying this. You have just described me to a T. Registered Dem. testify in Annapolis, work with MSI, AGC, NRA in Annapolis. Work the gun shows. You said it better than I ever could.

    I have in my past postings tried to refrain from lumping Democrats and progressives together. I am aware there are still many Democrats who have no desire for Marxist or socialist policies, and still retain old American values. That said, progressives are not pro2A. I know of Democrats who are pro2A. Democrats belong to a political party. Progressives belong to a radical ideology, be it for social, economical, or political change. Unfortunately, these progressives have infiltrated the Democrat party, and many, if not most of them, are highly influenced by Marxist ideals. Progressivism at its core, by itself, can gain no mainstream traction in the US, wherefore they teamed up with their sympathizers in the Democrat party (which occurred decades ago). The lines have been blurred in a major way. The most recent evidence I can find of this is in a recent interview where Hillary couldn't explain the difference between a Democrat and a socialist.

    Plan D? Not worth the hassle.
    In MD. A vote for a Democrat is a vote for Mike and Mike and the Curran Machine. Period.

    You are free to do as you please... but you must own the result.

    After you break the machine you may go back to BAU, if you like,but my bet is you will be right back to failed policies within one generation.

    Your choice...

    But I don't go down with your ship.. that's on you.

    If Mike and Mike retain thier hold on power,Hogan will be an aberration on the march to perdition and I will soon be a refugee.

    With the passing of Scalia, there is NO chance any MD laws ever get repealed. The appeal WILL be heard by SCOTUS and it will be upheld. I called it a year ago I said another Conservative justice will be replaced by a Liberal hack under Obama. Only the cartridge box can save this country now.

    Insist the new President no matter from what party should make the appointment. Delay advice & consent, Bork if necessary. Rinse repeat for Ginsberg. Buy ear plugs to avoid the whine coming from Owe, Reid, and Washerhair-Schultz. Move on without reluctance or apologies - simply put grow some balls and manage the situation. Sacrifice all other interim agenda items if necessary. I know it's something we haven't seen much of from the Repubs but the stakes are now higher than ever.

    Exactly.

    There is absolutely no doubt that the Democrats would do exactly that if the positions were reversed. In fact, recent history and their record prove as much.

    Only need to ask yourself:
    What would Harry Reid do?
    Just what he's always done.

    If Obama whines, ask yourself:
    What would Barack Obama do?
    Just as he's always done.

    Go on down the list of Democrat leadership; Leahy, Schumer, Durbin, Feinstein, and the rest of them, and the answer would be unanimous. What would they do? Just as they've always done.

    No way to tell, until the Court makeup is settled.

    It could still be 2 years and up to 3 appointments away! All the more reason for the People to get involved in the electoral process.

    THIS IS THE MOST CONCISE AND REALISTIC COMMENT I'VE SEEN.

    There will be a lot of twists and turns in the road...it will NOT be a straight line from here to the future.

    Time for the Republican's to act like Democrats. The D's would let nothing happen until after the election then if the Democrats lose they would try to horse trade with Ginsberg's seat to insure they would not end up with two conservatives. The Republicans control the Senate so it is time to exercise that control just like the Democrats did when they were in control and shoved Obamacare down everyone's throat.

    But as it stands now, WE won in the appeals court. Assuming CA4 passes on en banc, a 4-4 tie at SCOTUS means we still win. The only thing that changes is that if we do lose en banc then we can't win unless/until a new conservative justice replaces Scalia.
