Is the NRA Up to the Job?

Yesterday was Obama's big day. He presented 23 proposals that, by executive order, are going to become the law of the land. Gun sales were already up after this tragic incident in Connecticut. Sales spiked again yesterday and today, with people now purchasing hordes of ammunition. High capacity magazines and AR type rifles are long gone, with some sellers asking double, and sometimes triple their original cost.

The action the Obaminator has taken has been shoved down the throats of citizens by way of the guilt factor. Yes, it's all in the best interest of the children. It's best to disarm everyone and that is supposed to make it all better - that it will help prevent more tragic shootings by mentally ill persons. IT WILL NOT. I'd like to say that people are outraged enough that something will be done to prevent this blatant attack on our Constitutional rights.

Interestingly enough, this chain of events has not only caused record gun and ammo sales, it has had a direct result on NRA membership. The NRA now boasts that membership has increased by 250,000 in just one month.

 I certainly hope that they are up to the task at hand. We must not surrender to the whims of the liberal idiots who find guns so offensive. The President's actions are reprehensible and he should not be allowed to force his socialist beliefs upon our free thinking society.  I'm tired of kissing ass in an effort to be more politically correct.

Pro gun politicians have already made it clear their intent to bar Obama's little foray down this road. While I say that I agree to some of their proposals, others are a joke and an insult to the intelligence of responsible gun owners. Some are just good in theory, but difficult to piece together and make work.

Meanwhile, law enforcement officers are now taking a stance. Linn County, OR, Sheriff Tom Mueller
wrote a letter to the Vice President essentially telling old Joe that he wasn't going to enforce something that was a direct violation of Constitutional rights, rights that he is sworn to uphold.
One of my favorite Sheriffs, J. Al Cannon, Esq., of Charleston County, SC also made a press statement  concerning his take on the matter.

I foresee a long hard fight ahead.
