There is a “ho-hum” factor in the continuing pressures to have better gun control.
Watch the liberal left and the Democrats in the House of Representatives push, tug and lie about “weapons of war.”
These lawmakers want to first restrict AR-15s or similar automatic rifles. If they’re ever successful, then it’s only another step or two to eliminate other rifles, handguns and ammo.
Why the constant push to eliminate guns and the Second Amendment?
Here are a few more surprising facts about gun control that won’t be announced by liars who think gun control will reduce loss of lives.
Everyone who can think knows that cars, knives, baseball bats, rocks and fist fights kill people, too. Then why do the liberal leftists want to reduce gun ownership by citizens?
Dr. Gary Kleck, a professor of criminology at Florida State University, was influenced by evidence that when citizens carried guns, crimes were prevented.
His research showed that law-abiding uses of guns beat criminal uses by a “factor of 1,000 to one,” and that is an impressive statistic to allow gun ownership.
A quote from Kleck’s research tells us, “Americans use firearms to defend themselves from criminals at least 764,000 times a year.”
Florida statistics showed that when the state allowed concealed weapons, the firearm homicide fell by 37 percent, while the national average increased by 15 percent.
What possible reason by liberals could trigger this unconstitutional attack on the Second Amendment?
Does anyone recall President Barack Obama saying our “civilian national security force must be as powerful as the military” in a 2008 speech in Colorado Springs, Colo.?
Here is some conspiracy fodder to prop up what plans may be in the hopper for the near future.
Elizabeth Harrington, writer for the Washington Free Beacon, reported this insight on guns on June 22.
There are now more non-military government employees who carry guns than there are U.S. Marines, according to an Open the Books.com report.
Open the Books, a taxpayer group, reported that domestic government agencies increase stockpiles of military-style weapons.
Democrats sat on the House floor calling for more restrictions on guns at the same time.
Here are some other eye-openers from Harrington in her printed article, the “Militarization of America.”
She reported civilian agencies spent $1.48 billion on guns, ammunition and military-style equipment between 2006 and 2014.
Why would 2,316 IRS agents be armed with AR-15s? Why are civilian EPA bureaucrats wearing camouflage? Did the IRS have a grudge against the Tea Parties?
Open the Books said. “The Food and Drug Administration includes 183 armed ‘special agents,’ a 50 percent increase over the ten years from 1998-2008.
“At Health and Human Services (HHS), ‘Special Office of Inspector General Agents’ are now trained with sophisticated weaponry by the same contractors who train our military Special Forces troops.”
Open the Books found there are now more than 200,000 non-military federal officers with arrest and firearm authority, surpassing the 182,100 personnel who are actively serving in the U.S. Marine Corps.
The IRS spent nearly $11 million on guns, ammunition and military-style equipment for its 2,316 special agents. The EPA spent $3.1 million on guns, ammo and equipment.
If this equipment was not issued before, why are non-military personnel getting it lately?
Why not fully equip Navy Seals and U.S. Army soldiers who report shortages of rifles and other equipment?
It is not okay to have shortages of weaponry for our best-trained combat troops.
One way to stop this outrage is to vote against Hillary Clinton, who will continue the facade of protecting us from our own military troops.
Donald Trump is more trustworthy.
Because the muzzies have a harder time taking over a country when it is armed.
Answer: the elites want total control over a helpless disarmed populace.
Next question?
It’s much easier to stigmatize evil guns than criticize the populace who have been deprived of moral upbringing via Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society”
Does any Democrat think there’s a correlation between a 75% illegitimacy rate and feral children who become murderous adults? I’d love to ask them that question on national tv.
Because it’s a reliable campaign tool, rallying the troops and demonizing the opposition when needed.
Notice how they don’t bring it up when they could actually win the issue.
All good Commie Countries have a disarmed population.
Larry, you ignorant slut. AR-15s are not automatic rifles.
Guns are a threat against the tyrants.
That is why.
This is a good article about and this one is another good example of why.
The serfs are getting fed up.

Think Hitler....he gave the people the garbage that if all the guns were only in the hands of the government, people would be safe.....and we all know how that turned out.
Gee, what a coincidence. That's the same firearm the regime wants to BAN.
Question any political official who wants to create MORE soft targets in America, including everyone's homes!
Who hands out talking points?
I ask because I’ve heard that “weapons of war” statement from numerous people since the Orlando shooting, but don’t remember ever hearing that phrase before.
So I figure someone in the liberal establishment invented that phrase, and distributed to fellow liberals, media outlets, the “talking heads” who populate news round table discussion type programs, etc.
Sounds to me, that we are heading towards organized militias in every state. Hmmmmm? The Florida Minutemen, The Florida Patriotic Front, The Coastal Militia, etc. etc. just some suggested names, but made up of ordinary citizens for the defense of our rights and country. In the spirit of 76’,not Germany 31-45’. Bring back marksmanship to the schools, and classes in survival techniques. Most importantly how to operate as a group not as an individual. As an “organized militia” we would be adhering to the Constitution, they can’t argue against that. So go thee to the nearest Army Navy store and get yourself an urban camo uniform and have unit patches made up. An Armed “Guardian Angels” would better fit the description.
Because, as Obama buddy Bill Ayers has pointed out, it may take the extermination of 25 million Americans to achieve the fulfillment of the Leftist paradise. Those 25 million don’t have any plans to go peaceably.
Actually, it’s impossible to take over any country if the population possess the arms (guns) to defend themselves and the resolve to use them.
Are there any organized militias that haven’t been thoroughly infiltrated by the FBI & where half the members are snitches?
When Ayers said that, the US had a population of 250 million. The total population of the US has increased to over 300 million. So the number of exterminations they would require to even slightly achieve their goal would need to be likewise increased. It would be 30 million today, MINIMUM...

At the negotiating table you have the guns, they want them.
What do they have to offer in exchange? NOTHING!
We got the guns, they got nothing so all they can do is push, push, push for more gun laws as they have been doing since 1962.
The correct answer is that gun control is necessary to establish a totalitarian state.
I’m being defense oriented, not insurrection oriented. I want a gun behind every blade of grass in case we ever have to go back to that point. Hell, I’m older than John Burns of Gettysburg, not much I could do at this stage, but you can be damn sure I’ll do what I can. I’m gonna need one of them new rifles, M-1 ammo is kinda scarce. Besides, its getting to heavy to carry, and it kicks like a mule. Its quieter tho, then again, so is all of my hearing. Seems like I can only obey written orders I can read. :)
The number needed to be extermintated may well have dropped as the true patriot population ages.
