The highlighted part is called projection.

He said nothing would pass. That is all he said. He did not say that you could sit back and do nothing and nothing would pass, or anything of the sort. He made a very concise statement that turned out to be true.....so far....this year.....

Probably easiest to use the ADA to make that happen.


That is a brilliant statement. And 100 percent correct. I wish I could say I had thought of it.

I know I could use a suppressor, my ears are shot. Damn Metallica concerts...

But isn't saying "Nothing will pass" kinda exactly like saying "There is no reason to fight for this."

No, no it isn't.


Do you honestly think he figured that GOCRA and the NRA would curl up in little balls and start sucking their thumbs when this all started.

Kudos to H&H for posting this. Admitting when someone else was right is a sign of both wisdom and honor.

Damn straight! I don't agree with everything he says, but at least he's a man of his word.

Guess Hefay was/is wrong. A gun bill WAS passed. This is why we can't stop our activism. Even thoug they said nothing would be passed this year here we are today learning something was.

Right. I guess if they passed something like reciprocity with more states or a suppressor bill, I would technically be "wrong" too.
