Thanks for your post. Mark Levin was saying today he hates the term “Gun Control” - it isn’t gun control - it is CITIZEN Control. Goes right with your post - thanks again, will be sharing it with my kids.

They should re-name Gun Free Zones to Free Fire Zones too.

This from a man who attached a full-sized room air conditioner to his limo lest he break a sweat? Really?

Agreed, I think that is a good rule of thumb for the limits placed on ciilian arms ownership, the civilians should have access to the same equipment used by ANYONE in ANY goverenment agency who has the potential to interface with them.

It would also give the goverment EXTRA INCENTIVE to actually enforce posse comitatis...

...when those with axes to grind or pet projects to advance have already made their case many times over.

Seems to me the "axe grinders" are all liberals like Dumberg, Feinswine, and Chucky Schmucky Schumer, and the biggest axe grinder of all, Barack Sheik Obama, mmmm mmmm mmmm.

Nuclear weapons are built by private sector defense contractors. In other words, they start out "in private hands."

They only become a threat when governments take possession of them.

“The U.S. Army has a rifle — they call it a rifle, I would call it a cannon; it’s attached to the front of a tank..."

"Rifles", by definition have spiral cut grooves in the barrel to impart a stabilizing spin to the projectile. Our tanks use smooth bore cannon with fin-stabilized projectiles.

I would support limits on extended clips on nuclear cannons

Let me be the first to come out in favor of responsible nuclear cannon ownership. Some of the rules: always treat a nuclear cannon like its loaded; never point a nuclear cannon at anything you don’t want to vaporize; know your nuclear cannon target, such as Mecca or rage boy demonstrations anywhere.

He might be the Republican nominee in 2016....who would have thought Romney would have gotten it in 2012 in 2009. You guys will be saying how great Bloomburg is while I bash him and then get bashed from FREEPERS for not being a team player.....the story has been done before many times.

Haha! While Bloomberg goes after guns, I’ll still be able to get my atomic hand grenade!

I don’t think so. The NRA is a bit wishy-washy. Probably because they more money with the threat of gun control than they would if it completely disappeared.

That said, if someone DOES defend the right to own an Atomic Annie, well, God bless ‘em. We need more like ‘em.

We really need to reframe this debate . Instead of letting Bloomberg and the Libs frame this debate by calling them “assault weapons”, we need to label them “self defense guns” and “self defense mags” . That’s what they truly are.

The Libs come up with these buzzwords and make it hard to defend the pro-gun position . We can flip the script and make them defend being called “anti self-defense” .

Nonsense. Justice Scalia has made this clear. The Second Amendment protects the right to BEAR arms, that is, arms that can be carried. Cannons do not apply.

If Bloomberg can even produce an instance of an NRA official saying that the 2nd Amendment gives you the right to own a tank, much less a tank with a nuclear weapon, I’ll eat my hat.

One thing that is sad here is that Bloomberg, an educated man and the mayor of one of the largest cities in the world, has no idea that the function and fire rate of a 9mm pistol and an “assault weapon” like the Bushmaster Lanza used are essentially the same—or he is willing to have people believe he doesn’t so that they don’t understand it.
