Democrats say they’ll oppose pro gun laws
WSJ:
Peter Ambler, executive director of Americans for Responsible Solutions, a gun control super PAC, said his organization plans to fight national reciprocity “tooth and nail,” threatening a Democratic filibuster of the legislation in the Senate. Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal, a Democrat and ardent gun-control advocate, said he believes any version of a national reciprocity bill would be “dead on arrival” in the Senate, due to strong Democratic opposition.

The used the nuclear option, I doubt they have the votes to stop a simple majority.
Shoes on the other foot now, fuckers.

Like that’s earth shaking news and surprises anyone?

Those Democrats up in 2018 — I believe there are eight in states Trump won — might want to reconsider.

Note that the PAC spokesman threatened a Senate filibuster.
Who is in charge in the Dem party?

The Democrats oppose a Constitutionally enumerated right being exercised everywhere in the U.S. It hearkens back to the Dred Scott decision by SCOTUS in 1857 keeping slavery legal in the United States:
“[If black people were] entitled to the privileges and immunities of citizens, it would exempt them from the operation of the special laws and from the police regulations which [Southern states] considered to be necessary for their own safety. It would give the persons of the negro race, who were recognized as citizens in any one State of the Union…the full liberty of speech in public and in private upon all subjects upon which its own citizens might speak; to hold public meetings upon political affairs, and to keep and carry arms wherever they went. And all of this would be done in the face of the subject race of the same color, both free and slaves, inevitably producing discontent and insubordination among them, and endangering the peace and safety of the State.”

Fine. Let Them kill reciprocity. It’s a smelly pig of an idea anyway– Licensing a fundamental human right is in itself a violation of that right. Constitutional carry would be vastly preferable.

The 1857 Dred Scott decision was written by Chief Justice Roger Taney, a Southern Democrat.
The Democrat party is a criminal organization masquerading as a political party, and has been so though its entire history.
Republicans ended slavery in these United States, defeating the Democrat run Confederacy on the field of battle and in the marketplace of ideas.
Gun control is an ancient Democrat strategy, first directed towards emancipated blacks in the South and eventually towards anyone not in their ranks.
Come and take them, Democrats.

@BDubya, disarming people and keeping them unarmed has always been the basis of slavery and tyranny down through history.
ONLY YOUR ENEMY WANTS YOU DISARMED
