You, sir, are a master of understatement.
Quote of the week material right there. It's a damn shame, too.
you think that only 47% are entitled and dependent on the nanny state in Canada? I would say more like 60%.80 years? Try 230+ years.

Yeah, but they've only been dancing in everyone's Cheerios for the last 80 - before that they weren't interested in the rest of the world. Frankly, I wish they'd go back to the America of the '50's and 60's - they were right, they knew it, and there was no need to apologize. If the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbour with Obama as president, he probably would have apologized and offered to lease them Hawaii.
Yeah, but if I want nice stuff that could get pricey, vs buying a spare bolt, LPK, etc.
How much would the AWB affect us though? Wouldn't it basically just screw over Americans? Would American manufacturers really go out of business? I assume it wouldn't change their export laws any so after a shortage of people buying crap before it took affect wouldn't it be business as usual here?

I agree very strongly with your post. I have said this in several threads so far and people always tell me I don't know what I am talking about... despite the fact that Obama has not verbally committed to, nor has he endorsed a renewal of the AWB since his election even after several high incident shootings.
Don't get me wrong, I am NOT ENDORSING OBAMA, I am just saying he has not made any moves to increase gun control in the USA. I believe the AWB renewal is a myth perpetuated by the gun industry for increased sales as well as the republicans for increased votes.
Gun stores blatantly state that Obama sells more guns for them than any spokesperson could, and the hilarious part about that statement is that the sales are all based on speculation that sometime in the future Obama will decide to tank his career by endorsing another AWB. Believe me, the Democrats know that the AWB played a big role in their decline after Clinton.
So before you max out your credit cards stop to think long and hard about WHO is selling you WHAT and WHY you should believe them.
What Obama(or any politician) says before his final term means diddly squat in my mind. The liberals here told us no hst, a few months later guess what?
You're looking through rose coloured glasses if you think Obama would not lie. It's not a chance I would take.

Pearl harbor was bombed in 1941, decades before your example.
The US didn't avoid apologizing in the 50/60's, they simply denied everything ... you know things like toppling of foreign gov'ts for American interests and such (Venezuela, Guatemala and etc). Proxy wars, selling guns and bombing places... you know, the stuff that came out decades later in declassified briefings from the CIA. The wars they officially fought in were not successful, Korea and Vietnam are often seen as the conflicts that crippled the American military image and domestic support for the troops. (60's were the beginning of the anti-war hippie protest movement, ironically the hippies targeted returning troops for protest and slander when these troops were mostly victims of a exploitative government that was becoming less accountable to its public)
I don't think the 50's and 60's capture the height of Americanism, rather I think you overlook the many negative things that occurred during that 20 year span that run contrary to the beliefs of many people on here. The 50's and 60's were the birth of BIG government who exploited and abused their power over the citizens. Also the 60's were the beginning of the American Welfare state with Medicare and increased expenditures for the developing social welfare systems. This is about the time that Canada shifted towards the social welfare state we are all victims of today as well. I have had a few vets tell me that the 60's were the worst time in history, they claim it was nothing but "hippies and ******" ruining the country
I don't have rose glasses at all, my dream candidate is Ron Paul, but sadly he will not get on the card.
Furthermore you are all losing sight of the fact that in the US, the presidents power to enact a law is limited by the senate... which right now is republican or far right controlled. Senators are elected directly by the citizens in their ridings, so even if Obama does get re-elected the senate will continue to stall legislation and bills that the republicans don't agree with... also the NRA has insane lobbying power in the American house of representatives... I doubt the AWB will make a stir considering nobody has the political capital to expend to make it happen outside Romney.
I am well read on Obama and Romney so I don't hesitate to say that both are bad for gun rights as individual politicians, but Obama is more focused on his socialist agenda to risk introducing an AWB.
You guys can continue to panic, but the current senate is far from the senate that passed the FAWB into act in 1994.
Almost every week, the media declares that Romney has blown it, all the while ignoring Obama's shortcomings.
This latest Romney so-called slip up is actually an opportunity to show the difference in the candidates and their vision; to differentiate between a future with more jobs and independence, or, a future with more dependence on gov't.

Obama had a re-election to think about in his first term so he put aside his true feelings about guns.
If he's re-elected to a second term, he can't go for a third, so with him not having to worry about losing, watch for his true anti-gun Chicago roots to come shining through.
As I said before, I doubt he'll do that. He knows that any anti-gun bills will result in a Republican sweep at the next election. He may be out the door, but the Democratic party won't let him completely tank the whole organization for a bill that'll be weakly supported by both parties.

Thats not true, when reporters asked harry reid speaker of the house and the most powerful democrat about gun control in wake of the aurora shooting, he said he didn't have time this year, because of the election, when they asked about next year he said "nice try." Implying he didnt want to giveaway his intentions.
Let face it, he a hard far left socialist and with them probably gonna have control of the house and senate, again, they are planning something given his "Nice Try" comment my assumption. The democrats are smart never underestimate the damage the socialist can do to people.
oh and by the way dems have control of the senate, and republicans the house, but the senate even though they have the majority, they need 60 votes to pass a bill and they currently have 53 of 100
