Harry Reid to Take One Last Shot at the Second Amendment in the Lame Duck Session

Harry Reid to Take One Last Shot at the Second Amendmentin the Lame Duck Session G, There’s a reason why we at GOA call the post-election period of Congress the “slime duck” session. Harry Reid and his minions now will try to shove down our throats all of the anti-gun legislation and nominees they were afraid to reveal before the elections -- when voters still had the option to punish them by throwing them out of office. As it turns out, gun owners in most states knew exactly what Reid had in mind when they went to the polls on November 4. And, as a result, anti-gun hypocrites like Arkansas’ Mark Pryor, Louisiana’s Mary Landrieu, North Carolina’s Kay Hagan, Alaska’s Mark Begich, and Colorado’s Mark Udall are pretty much “dead ducks.” The question is: Will these anti-gun liars be given the power to make virtually all budgetary gun decisions on the giant government-funding bill (the “continuing resolution” or “CR”)? And will they get to shove through an anti-gun successor to Attorney General Eric Holder in December under Harry Reid’s “nuclear option” fraud rules … where the discredited and repudiated Democratic anti-gun “slime ducks” will make the decision … and where Harry Reid won’t need a single Republican vote? On the “CR” issue, government funding is set to expire on December 11, so a new bill will be necessary. But Congress has a choice of whether to fund it for almost an entire year -- or to kick it over to February or March, when the newly elected pro-gun senators will have an opportunity to have some say in a giant bill which makes virtually all policy decisions for the government. For instance, the “CR” will decide whether or not the Schumer amendment prohibiting relief from disabilities will be renewed. It will decide whether to defund the shotgun import ban, the ammunition import ban, the illegal multiple sale reporting requirements, the implementation of the Arms Trade Treaty, and Operation Choke Point.
