#1 Any senator that votes for this should be SKINNED.

#3 Any senator that votes for this should be SKINNED.

Being somewhat impulsive, I would have said shoot 'em and then skin 'em. But that would spoil the hide.

#5 This is the pattern of the left.

Unable to get what they want through plebiscite, they use autocratic methods like this.

I would hope that this failed in the senate, but if not, I would hope that the Supremes would throw this out. I also can't imagine that there is enough law enforcement in this country to stop handloading, which is done by millions of people (including millions of people IN law enforcement).

#6 I also can't imagine that there is enough law enforcement

That's where the new job creation program comes in.

#7 You carry a gun because it is lighter than carrying your own police officer.

#8 That's where the new job creation program comes in.

Given that much of the job hand out is patronage based upon loyalty and not competency, it won't be much of a problem. The one thing the Beltway can't afford is a Lexington Bridge event in the Redlands if they attempt such a stupid move.

#9 Well, P2K, you can't be President for Life unless you've a personally loyal & armed forces---but, of course, "it can't happen here".

#10 Well, we are just bitterly clinging to our guns you know. He is only helping us because he loves us.

#11 you can't be President for Life unless you've a personally loyal & armed forces--

"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; - Enlisted Oath

"I, _____ (SSAN), having been appointed an officer in the Army of the United States, as indicated above in the grade of _____ do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservations or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter; So help me God." - Commissioned Oath

The problem for 'President for Life' is that while he can probably compromise the senior leadership by promotions and selections, its the middle grades that in the end make the army [and more than enough historical revolts]. That is drawn largely from Redlands, either physically or culturally. Those take decades to grow and replace.

#13 But, but, but once elected, he'll be a centurist won't he?

The ONLY thing that needs "reloading" is the office of the President of the United States!

#14 and at what point is there a line crossed on the Lexington green? Sooner or later Atlas will shrug, hopefully it is the 2010 elections back to real conservatives and not something more kinetic.

#15 I'm not so sure anyone would consider reloading a bullet as manufacturing a firearm. Not only is a bullet not an actual weapon on its own, but refurbishing and restoring is generally not considered manufacturing.
