The lamestream media told you:
Guns were not much of an issue in the midterm elections, few politicians brought up the subject, Democrats know its a loser for them, and the new Congress will have other fish to fry.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
The Brady campaign released their gun agenda for the next Congress by direct mail on Nov. 22, absolutely giddy about changes the elections made in Congress. We won more than 95% of the races where we endorsed a candidate, they gushed, and now propose to:
- Re-enact the assault weapon ban
- Federalize all private gun sales
- Criminalize gun-show activity
- Strengthen the Brady law*
- Curb illegal gun sales*
- Pass life-saving gun laws*
- Repeal the Lawful Commerce in Firearms Act (the frivolous lawsuit ban)
- Limit the number of guns people can buy
*No details provided on what these goals might actually mean.
In addition, they plan to continue to fight for their successes while Republicans were in power:
- Block national concealed carry
- Maintain the gun-ban for Wash., D.C.
- Ban gun sales across state lines
- Continue gun-lock sales requirements
- Fight anything the sleazy (their word) NRA proposes
- Limit available military-style firearms
- Restrict faster-firing, bigger clip guns
After Katrina: This will be a gun-free zone. We are going to confiscate every gun… Is that unreasonable? –Illinois Democrat Senator Dick Durbin on the floor of Congress, July 13, 2006.
The Uninvited Ombudsman asks: should politicians who violate their oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution be removed from office or imprisoned?
