How About The Other races?

Postby LarryP on Sun Oct 09, 2016 7:22 am

Are the Republicans going to loose what they control in the MN & US legislature? Haven't heard much about it. IMO more important than the president race

It seems like the prognosticators don't have a very good handle on it or are spending all their time on the Presidential race.

I agree, it is equally (maybe more) important. Significant infringements on our gun rights would most likely take place at the state level. Only then can a Hillary appointed Supreme Court uphold them.

Another good reason to get out and vote even if you aren't thrilled with the top of the ticket.

The Senate is for sure in jeopardy at the national level. House will lose seats as well, but who knows if it's going to be enough to flip control. I also expect the downticket in MN to be impacted, but it's anybody's guess as to how much.

I would not put it past Hillary to try and get a 28th Amendment Ratified. It would be for abolishing the Second Amendment. Either that, or some try at using an Executive Order against us.

Good luck trying to get 3/4 of the state legislatures to ratify.

Agreed. She'll never get an amendment. That said, she doesn't need an amendment: EOs and stacking SCOTUS to get a strong anti-2A majority will accomplish the same thing by gutting the Second Amendment to the point that it only applies to organized militias (e.g. National Guard).
