What they want is centralized gun ownership since they say that only cops should have guns. Only Gubmint agencies should have guns. THEN they don't mind that guns are in the hands of some people.
They should at least be honest and say what they mean. Their language surely tells us what they mean.
Whut?
Every time one of these jerks starts blathering about gun control, someone should ask them this question: Will the government be as successful at keeping illegal guns from flooding across the border into the hands of criminals as they were at keeping out illegal drugs and illegal aliens?
“You have been working incrementally for the last 50 years”
Actually, no that’s not entirely correct. With the National Firearms Act of 1934 it’s been closer to 85 years. Interestingly FDR just happened to be Prez at that time. Also socialism had a grip on our nation during the depression era.
We got a reprieve with Truman, Eisenhower and Kennedy. Then along comes LBJ and we get the Gun Control Act of 1968 and IMO the single most damaging pace of socialism that we are still living with today - the Great Society that made everything worse that it was intended to combat.
In New Mexico its already here. The Democratic left-wing anti-gun nutters elected last November passed a bill in the state senate this past Wednesday that would require a federal background check for all gun sales between private citizens. And that includes trades and barters. A similar bill has already passed the NM House. The new “progressive” governor has already said she will sign the final bill after senate-house differences are resolved.
But that’s not all. The NM House just passed a “red-flag” bill that allows cops to come to you residence and sieze your guns if you are believed to be a threat to yourself or others. Of course, the cops would have get a court order, but who doubts with liberal, anti-gun Democratic judges on the NM bench that approval would be almost automatic.
There’s more in the Rat pipeline, but you get the idea.
What America needs is “common sense socialism control”. We don’t want crazed socialists in our schools or churches or menacing government buildings and courts.
It’s just sensible to have a national background check for socialists, but don’t worry, it will never be used to create a socialist registry. The check would look for any criminal record and outstanding warrants, any record of mental illness, or if they are a child or spouse abuser, and then local authorities “may issue” socialist licenses to anyone over 21. Annually renewable for $500.
Of course, they must identify themselves as licensed socialists to any LEO who detains them.
Nice write up. You posted this is bloggers but neglected to give us the link to your blog. Maybe this should have been posted in chat?
You see, I had decided a while back I need to add a single stack 9mm to our collection. It would fill a niche and need between the larger 9mm double-stacks my wife and I have, and the little 380. There are several common clothing combinations that just don't work with my double-stack, and I'm just not a fan of the snappy little 380.
After doing some research I had convinced myself I wanted to try the new Mossberg MC1SC. Then I visited several gun shops today. At every one it was the same story: none available, no idea when they'll be in, no idea at what price point since backlog and demand/interest is high at the moment.
Then at the one store the salesman showed me several alternatives - yes the Glock 43, a Sig, and a S&W M&P Shield M2.0. Now, I'm fair with my Glock, and actually pretty good with the wife's M&P. So I lost self control and picked up the Shield. I've already disassembled and cleaned it, practiced operating it with snap-caps, and loaded it. Weather permitting I'm headed to the range with it tomorrow.
Yep, a guy with proper "gun control" might have waited...
Nice article!
