Chuck Schumer: The Numbers Aren't There For Major Gun Control Legislation

Sunday, January 16, 2011


Apparently the Bush years taught Schumer nothing.  He missed the reality that anyone can sell anything to Americans, if you're stolid and relentless in your sales pitch and tactics. If you keep at it, escalate your attacks,  don't take 'no' for an answer, never back away, you will wear the opposition down.  

Bush-Chene­y-R0ve they didn't invent this strategy, nor did they employ new techniques than those that have been used to sell soap or were used in WWII to convince a nation to turn against their neighbors and commit genoc!de against all of one religion.  All that's different is the will to do it.

What Bush-Chene­y-Rove showed us, though, was that there was no need to be even be subtle. If you want it, you do it.  You put it on the table, you keep it on the table until there is change.  Like Bush-Chene­y and their refusal to be daunted in their intention of taking the nation to war in Iraq, a nation wholly unconnecte­d to nine-eleve­n, but due to the Bush-Chene­y tactics even today close to half of us think S@ddam Husse!n was behind it.  By having their surrogates fan out all over the air waves, overwhelmi­ng opponents and critics through sheer numbers, there was little room or air time or oxygen for Bush's and Cheney's opponents to be able to get any traction.  

Obama and Democrats know how to do it -- They don't want to do it.  They're courting the corporatio­ns, the NRA and its supporters­, just as Republican­s are.

Until Americans realize that and demand action, these corporate t00Ls will get away with inaction and the next Tucson could be you or someone you love.  

So right now, anyone who accepts Schumer's excuses is the problem.  Because even the gvn-lovers in Arizona are asking in every corner, "How is it that L0ughner (mentally ill) was able to legally purchase a gvn?"
