We gun owners do a lot of chest thumping and have more than a little bit of tough talk when it comes to claiming our rights to have firearms, but what happens when there's a petition to make our feelings known about an "Executive Action" to prohibit the re-importation of U.S. military weapons?
ALMOST NOTHING!
Two weeks into a White House petition to retract that Executive Action we have just over 11,000 signatures. Worse yet, in most of the places where people have posted information about the petition, many of the same people who talk a big talk about not giving up their firearms have actually posted against signing the petition, claiming such ridiculous things as it will be ignored by Obama (of course it will ... that's not the point), or even that doing so will put you on a watch list (we're probably already on one, just for being members of this group).
Sorry, but what a bunch of cowardly PUSSIES we've turned into in this country. All hot air and no steam! Granted, 11,000 votes are more than nearly any other petition in the same time period has gotten, but it's still 89,000 short of being enough to require a response.

P.S. ... in case someone thinks this should be moved elsewhere, the Executive Action in question is specifically about collectible C&R firearms.
