The Assault Weapons Ban Is A Stupid Idea Pushed By Stupid People
The Federalist ^ | 13 Jun, 2016 | Sean Davis

Posted on 06/14/2016 7:55:31 PM PDT by MtnClimber

According to FBI statistics, you are far more likely to be beaten to death by someone's fists than you are to be killed with a rifle.

It happens like clock work: as soon as there’s a mere whisper of a terrorist attack or a mass shooting, the usual suspects kick in to high gear. Their destination is always the same: a faraway land where a so-called assault weapons ban magically eliminates not only guns but also prevents guns from walking of their own volition, without need of human agency, into crowded places and killing people.

The reaction after the terrorist attack in Orlando, in which a radical Islamist who pledged allegiance to ISIS murdered at least 49 people in a packed night club, was as predictable as it was pathetic.

We all know what often happens after the left confiscate guns.

We actually do know what happened after King George III tried to confiscate the Colonists’ guns at Lexington Green. It wasn’t pretty on the road back to Concord all the way to Yorktown

We do pay a price for the second amendment but that price is microscopic compared to the price Germany and Russia have paid for NOT having such a law.....

Which is the assault rifle??

I saw John Densmore, ex-drummer of The Doors, post an anti AR15(?) rant on The Facebook. He was one of those guys who thought it shot 700 rounds per minute. Everyone told him to shut up and go back to playing his drums.

I went into a gun shop in Joplin, MO just before Slick Clinton’s folly kicked in, about ‘94, and the proprieter was asking $100 for a Browning Hipower magazine. No sale
Mec-Gar are good for CZ and Browning.

I get my assault rifles from a Mexican Gun Lord. Obama and Holder sold them to him.

If it was an original marked John Inglis (Canadian) mag, maybe so. Otherwise, yes.

No. It was just a garden variety magazine. There was some gouging going on during that time.
During the war Germans loved to get their hands on Brownings but the tooling, like the P08 Luger, at the Belgium plant meant there was a long line.
Didn’t the Inglis Browning have a slot on the butt for a stock? (Also the holster?)

I think the idea comes more from malice than from stupidity, though I suppose deceiving one’s fellow man in the name of Satan is fundamentally stupid.

Well, you have to admit, it worked really well in Paris, didn't it?

Talk about exploiting a tragedy for political goals of disarming citizens. Libtard socialists do it unashamedly.

Don Davis, of Don’s Guns, told my brother and I exactly why he was all over national TV in support of the AWB.

While laughing his butt off, he told us that he had shipping containers full of the to-be-banned items that he made a fortune from before the ban went into effect.

This, just after I watched a straw purchase go down in his shop.

We don’t need gun control. We need Muslim control.

Problem: Terrorist murders Americans. Solution: Disarm Americans.

Not quite sure I follow the logic but it might be because I’m not as smart as a liberal.

That's the issue. Are there going to be people murdered with these guns? Unfortunately, sure.

I'm a long time student of history, and I can tell you with certainty what happens after you disarm people, especially disfavored groups. Think about it - who do liberals hate most in America today? What do you think would happen if they could get that group disarmed?

Keep your guns, because if you don't the price we'll all pay in blood is much higher in the long run than a few poor souls murdered in bunches by a mad man. Trust me on that. Anyone who tells you different has never picked up a history book.

Ya, good point that. When will Barry own up to being an arms dealer, sending untold numbers of weapons to Mexico and other latin countries? He should put his own house in order before lecturing us. Then again when libs talk about gun bans thinking of you not them. Their problem with guns is that you can have them too.

You will need your math skills on this one, and the 2 above as the Feds think only 45% need to be tracked. And only the most serious offense, the rest are flushed down the toilet.
