Maybe he was THINKING of using the rifle.

Let me see, if I burn all my guns, maybe it will stop lunatics from committing mass murder. If I burn my car, it will stop automobile accidents.

These people are so puerile, led by the Emotion Pimp who is triangulating into another entirely different objective - to make sure his “domestic police force” are the only civilians with weapons. I think Papa Doc did that with his Tonton Macoutes.

Why not just open back up the asylums for these people. But N-o-O-O! They want the psychos walking the streets to terrorize us so they can pass more feel good laws that do nothing.

Have you ever heard the term, “Poison Pill”?

I think we have the votes to get a CCW Amendment tacked to any “Assault Weapon” bill.

I think any CCW Amendment would guarantee Democrats turn against the final legislation.

Learn some strategy for Heaven’s sake!
