Other than the Army and my time as civilian security at an Air Guard base, I’ve had no access to one.
If they can, the MSM will start selling a myth that the hundreds of young black men killed in Chicago each year are murdered by white Chicago police officers.
Sound crazy? You know better.
If they can “set the table,” they’ll try to sell this story at some point.
He probably thinks that any rifle that isn’t bolt action is “automatic”.
Actually, most people can buy an automatic weapon. Just requires more paperwork and an extra $200 tax and some extra time.
I think you mean 1986, when New Full Auto Transferable guns stopped being approved by the BATF. They are still made, but can not be sold to non dealers or gov’t agencies.
While there are a few models that can be had for about 5 grand, most cost as much as a small house or more these days.
Anyone with a mindset of defending their rights is a criminal to a liberal.
1986, with the Firearm Owners' Protection Act.
I think even Van Jones knew the clown was wrong.
Lemon always has his agenda when giving his “version” of facts and “news”.
Truth always proves this goofball wrong.
They only shoot black youts when they don’t have a rope and hood in the trunk. You should hate America.
Pray America wakes up
Oh, and did I mention having lots of money?
Bolt Actions are now called "Sniper Rifles".
Oh yeah?
But he does know the difference between high capacity magazines vs. clips, no?
/cnn viewers, all 10 of them, ‘He’s an expert’
He’s on par with Katie Couric.
During the Washington, D.C. sniping murders. she was interviewing a BATF guy. When they got around to AR-16s, she said, “I understand what makes these guns so dangerous is that they have spirals in the barrel.”
The BATF guy, to his credit, didn’t burst into hysterical laughter, but he gave he one of those “You’ve GOT to be kidding” looks, kept calm and just said “Yes, Ma’am”.
I was ROTFLMAO all over the place. In this day and age, and she didn’t know about rifling? Mother of God. From then on, even though she had nice legs, I looked u[on her as a clueless clown in all things.
I can just go to youtube & watch any model of automatic weapon I can think of being fired.
Lots of vids too of AR & AK’s with slidefire stocks. Thumb in the belt loop bumpfiring, too. Even a Garand can go rock & roll (not for very long)
In those vids, somebody’s got money to burn on all that ammo.
I prefer to squeeze off off aimed shots from my M1A.
Okay, 1986.
That still means there is lots of demand chasing only a few, slowly wearing out, automatic weapons, that can only be owned under pretty restrictive conditions.
Tell Don it’s true. That down here in Texas they’re sold at walmart and white people get to go to the front of the check out line. He will likely believe it.
“Actually, most people can buy an automatic weapon. Just requires more paperwork and an extra $200 tax and some extra time.”
Not really, because the 1986 law “froze” the number of legal automatics in the country. There are only a few hundred thousand allowed for “most people” in the whole country. In order for “most people” to buy them, they would have to take turns to own them for a day then sell them to someone else. That way, over the course of a year, “most people” would get a chance...
But the actual processing time is in the months, perhaps one hundred to two hundred days... so it would take over a hundred years for “most people” to own one for a day.
Yes. Even the crap guns are worth several thousand. That makes two things Reagan signed as president that I disagree with. This act, and the amnesty. He should have never agreed to it, since the Dems have never lived up to their part of the bargain.
And that demand is what really keeps “most people” from being able to buy a machine gun. “Most people” simply do not have that kind of money and can not afford the price.
