Gun control was an uphill climb in Congress well before Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election.
But now that Trump is less than a month away from taking the oath of office, that climb arguably has turned into vertical scaling of a sheer rock face with rope and harness.
Trump benefited from the National Rifle Association’s endorsement and airing of televised ads that characterized Democrat Hillary Clinton as a threat to Second Amendment rights.
Ed.: Inauguration is actually January 20th, almost two months away. |

"But now that Trump is less than a month away from taking the oath of office .... "
Has inaugaration day been moved from Jan. 20th until Dec. 20th? Or has someone forgot how to count?
Are the other facts in the story equally questionable?
Our vaunted press in action ........... *sigh*. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
