Maybe someone from Illinois can enlighten us but I’m pretty sure up there or at least in Chicago they have to have a card to buy ammo so big brother can keep track of how much you buy. Probably what he’s thinking or just outlaw ammo for citizens.
fudb you are a fake conservative and only want to be popular
This type of thinking could actually kick off CWII.
very good point sarah barracudda
How are you going to control the armed illegal aliens that sneak across the border, huh? I guess you want us southerners to be sitting ducks!
The hypocrisy with the left is astounding.
“For the same reason that Nazi Germany banned guns in the ‘30s. Because right now, the second amendment is the only thing standing between the ‘rats in Washington and We, the People”
True story, have these idiots forgotten Tienanmen Square? NO ARMED GOVERNMENT AND UNARMED CITIZENS
These Upper West Side types are all blowing smoke. Nothing to worry about. We still control the House and there is enough Democrat Senators from red states who would are scared ****less of the NRA, Harry Reid their leader for example, that nothing will pass there either. The gun grabbers are all hat and no cattle. They do not have the votes, and thank the NRA that they probably for the foreseeable future will not either.
Let’s first do a massive restriction on speech beginning with the scumbag Leftists. /s

Certainly it isn't the flimsy ploy to which he immediately retreated, cutting down the supply of "bullets". There's nothing massive about that where ammo is so easy to reload, it's a slow strangulation effort that would take decades to be effective and never be perfectly effective.
The level to which certain urban liberals such as Brooks find the suppression of ammunition sales to be some sort of legal loophole is a continuing source of amusement. "We have to let them bear arms but we don't have to let them have ammunition" is, I am afraid, far more likely to founder on the "let them" premise than it is on any probable Supreme Court skewering of the pathetic bit of legalistic pettifogging that it is. Only a statist would ever assume that he and the power for which he speaks have the ability to "let them" do anything. A society wherein individuals are only free to act insofar as the state "lets" them is not a free society. In that society only the ruling class are free. Hidden within the "let them" premise is the intention of the speaker to rule.
What prompted the use of "massive", I suspect, is a vision Brooks might well hesitate to articulate in any detail, but must inevitably involve large-scale coercion on the part of the state against a sizable percentage of its citizens. How to avoid an even more massive backlash is something they haven't quite figured out yet, but they're working on it.
I think it’s past time to pull the plug on PBS.
No one stood up to them when they mandated the Church to buy condoms. You really think this is going to end up any different?
When Brooks advocated controlling guns massively he in an about way advocated genocide!
His stupid comments about gun ownership being way down is proof of his complete ignorance of societies problems.
That’s by no means a settled issue.
You get it.

Watch for many mainline churches call for gun control. Funny how they will selectively pick which rights they support.
All you have to do to distract David is show him some pants with a nice crease and his hormones take over.
Calling for gun control is just lazy. It’s morally lazy. It’s logically lazy. It’s intellectually lazy. It’s the answer of a lazy mind.
And worse, it’s extremely naive and dangerous thinking. Our revolution here in the United States became a shooting war over gun control. Why were the British marching on Lexington and Concord? It was to confiscate weapons. The British were willing to negotiate on everything but gun control. Why? Because they wanted to determine who the guns were aimed at, not those rascally Americans. Whoever controls the firearms in a country controls the country. And, after Waco, I wouldn’t trust the Democrats with absolute power in this country.
This guy clearly doesn’t realize that for every gun in the country there’s probably, on average, at least 100 rounds of ammo.
There are people with one pistol and a partial box of ammo on the closet shelf, and there are others, like one prominent poster here, who are half-way to their lifetime goal of one million rounds.
Actually it might. We also will get something worse, but what do they care? Brooks is probably millionaire who can afford whatever he needs on the black market (safe passage or protection of some kind) when the time comes to shove us onto trains.
