    Never trust a politician...especially your political friends. You know your political opponents are out to shaft you...you expect your allies not to but it happens for political expediency. When backroom deals are made you never know what will happen. What if the Democrats offer Trump everything he wants for a border wall but the catch is they get onerous gun control laws in trade? While it might mean Trump is a one term President the damage would be done.

    Keep their feet to the fire...they need to know they will pay a price should they fail to follow through with what we elected them to do or not do. Take every anti-gun and anti-freedom proposal seriously and stop it before it can gain traction. The Democrats are experts at that...we should be as well.

    Meh won't get passed through the senate nor will Trump sign if it was...move along :)

    I wouldn't count on either of those stopping this bill. He gave away bump stocks. If he thinks this will buy him votes he will support it. He is not our friend. Very few of them are our friends.

    Even the NRA backed away from us on that. This is more obvious and overt, sure, but it's no less intrusive and no less a violation of our rights.

    Even in all the craziness and political hail, I still have very little concern that anything like this will pass out of the Senate.

    Honestly, I think Feinschwein screwed the pooch on this.

    If she'd had someone new introduce it in the House (AOC??), it would dominate the news, and also provide cover for Chancy to reach a border compromise... and it might even pass over to the Senate. It would still die there, but it would have been a net plus for the Ds, rather than another dead rat.

    Cardin & Van Holland co-sponsoring. I really hope that Maryland's gerrymandering districts get changed. Maybe someday we can get rid of these darned Democrats "representing" us.

    This what I sent to Senator Ben Cardin:

    I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery" is a translation of a Latin phrase that Thomas Jefferson used: "Malo periculosam, libertatem quam quietam servitutem." It has also been translated as, "I prefer the tumult of liberty to the quiet of servitude."
    Jefferson used the Latin phrase in the following letter to James Madison:
    Societies exist under three forms sufficiently distinguishable.
    1. Without government, as among our Indians.
    2. Under governments wherein the will of every one has a just influence, as is the case in England in a slight degree, and in our states in a great one.
    3. Under governments of force: as is the case in all other monarchies and in most of the other republics. To have an idea of the curse of existence under these last, they must be seen.
    It is a government of wolves over sheep. It is a problem, not clear in my mind, that the 1st. condition is not the best. But I believe it to be inconsistent with any great degree of population. The second state has a great deal of good in it. The mass of mankind under that enjoys a precious degree of liberty and happiness. It has it's evils too: the principal of which is the turbulence to which it is subject. But weigh this against the oppressions of monarchy, and it becomes nothing. Malo periculosam, libertatem quam quietam servitutem. Even this evil is productive of good. It prevents the degeneracy of government, and nourishes a general attention to the public affairs. I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical. - Jefferson to Madison, January 30, 1787
