"I'm convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We're going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily -- given the political realities -- going to be very modest. Of course, it's true that politicians will then go home and say, 'This is a great law. The problem is solved.' And it's also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time. So then we'll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we'd be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal -- total control of handguns in the United States -- is going to take time. My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition -- except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors -- totally illegal."

The best part is the gun salesman of the year 8 of the last 10 years was Obama. When a Dim gets elected president again the gun manufactures won't be able to make them fast enough.

When Nelson P. 'Pete' Shields made the analogy of the loaf of bread(one slice at a time), this analogy has been around for many, many years. In fact it's been around so long it's got a name---INCREMENTALISM. Incrementalism(along with Legislation from the Bench) is SOP for the leftists in promoting, advancing and attaining almost the all of their agendas---including gun control.

Of course he has a plan. All the left, and most of the "right", has a plan. They all have the same plan, no matter which side they claim.

I think it was George Orwell who said something like

(Notice, this is a paraphrase, not a direct quote. There is a certain member that seems to enjoy pointing out a non-direct quote, and use that to try to prove his intellectual superiority)

If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot smashing into your face, forever.

Is this after he drops nuclear weapons on the american people?

For future reference, the actual quote (from BrainyQuote, though I won't link to it here) is:

"If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever."

Swallowell would be better served by a plan to maximize his current station in life, which is as high as he'll ever attain.

Just to be fair, the article linked doesn't really cite what he said or explain - just says "he made it clear".

While I do appreciate his brutal honesty (refreshing from a politician) I do believe that he can kiss my rosey read rear.
