That’s the ultimate goal. It makes no sense to ban assault rifles because they kill people and not handguns because they kill people. They are using the mass shootings to try to ban assault rifles, and that’s to get a foot in the door. People like Musket Morgan act as though they only want to ban assault rifles, but I don’t believe if for a minute. The ultimate goal is a gun ban. Give them an inch and they’ll take a mile.
Someone needs to deal with refocusing the dabate.
Nobody should be advocating making it tougher on any level for law-abiding people to acquire and possess and use firearms.
The solution is not more laws criminals are going to ignore.
The solution is enforcing the laws against criminals attempting to get guns - the laws Biden says they don’t have the manpower to enforce now. So why put more laws on the books you don’t have the manpower to enforce, Joe?
The solution is no more easy-victim killing zones. Anywhere.
The solution is letting law-abiding people be abel to defend themselves when threats pop up in their midst.
The solution is to let the good people protect themselves against the bad people who don’t give two craps about the myriad of laws they are breaking trying to rob, murder, rape, whatever victim they’ve targeted.
Then force them to acknowledge their all about gun confiscation from law abiding people and that’s the real plan. They don’t enforce gun laws against criminals, aka Biden, all their ideas are more laws that only the law-abiding care about not violating, because the criminals break laws all the time and more laws that the govt won’t enforce on the criminals doesn’t exactly scare them, so the net result of their “solutions” - taxes, less capacity, less models to use, more govt tracking, etc - ONLY RESULT in harming and restricitng the LAW-ABIDING people, NOT the crimnals.
And watch them stutter and stammer.
The Declaration of Independence: A TranscriptionIN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
Smile and wait for the flash.
Handguns are not used against government troops as much.
So, they’re going for the weapons they care about most: Those that can be used against a tyrant.
Yeah, look at the barrel of those handguns really, really closely. Inspect it thoroughly. Hold it up to your eyes so you can see it well....
I looked at a couple of mine just a little while ago. Beautiful....
It has always been about handguns.
Assault rifles are just a decoy to try and get their anti-gun foot in the door.
Once they get a ban on AWs then they will use the same reasons to go after handguns.
John Kennedy killed with a 5 shot bolt action rifle.
Charles Whitman, killed 14, wounded 32 others mostly with a bolt action 6mm hunting rifle. Also used a shotgun and an m1 carbine.
Medgar Evers, shot with a 5 shot 1917 bolt action Enfield rifle.
Martin Luther King, shot with a 4 shot Remington 760 pump action Gamemaster rifle.
Bobby Kennedy with a .22 Iver Johnson Cadet revolver.
George Wallace wounded with a 5 shot Charter Arms .38spl revolver.
Howard Johnsons shooter killed nine, wounded thirteen with a 4 shot RUGER .44 mag Deerslayer rifle.
Gerald Ford attacked with a 7 shot 1911 semi auto.
Edmond OK post office with two National Guard 7 shot 1911 pistols.
Ronald Reagan and Jim Brady with an RG-14 .22 revolver.
What do they all have in common? NONE over 7 rounds, yet after each one came a cry of panic to ban all of them.
And here is what Nelson Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control Inc had to say.
Nelson T. ‘Pete’ Shields
Founder of Handgun Control, Inc.
“I’m convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We’re going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily — given the political realities — going to be very modest.
Of course, it’s true that politicians will then go home and say, ‘This is a great law. The problem is solved.’ And it’s also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time.
So then we’ll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we’d be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal — total control of handguns in the United States — is going to take time.
My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered.
And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition — except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors — totally illegal.”
-Pete Shields, Chairman and founder, Handgun Control Inc., “A Reporter At Large: Handguns,” The New Yorker, July 26, 1976, 57-58
It’s clear that the place to look is at Chicago and Rahm.
What is clear to the people, is we need to take a look at nutjob politicians who have armed guards trained to kill at the drop of a hat. If anyone should be questioned about the right to have arms, it is the DC corrupt nutbags, their lawyers, and various faceless bureaucrats that are jacking our rights, our property, our privacy, and our healthcare information.
