Failure to ban assault weapons is on Obama, not GOP

Despite the theatrics of Massachusetts Democrats in Congress, these people can't even get the guns out of the streets of Boston, let alone out of the hands of terrorists.

Hardly a day, or a night, goes by without a report of killings or gun violence in Boston or in other cities of the commonwealth. This has been going on nonstop for years, and there is no end in sight.

I love when liberals invalidate their own ideas.

So, what I'm hearing here is that restrictive gun laws, like those in Massachusetts, aren't working? I'm SHOCKED!

In Obama’s land period. Somehow he has caused more racial division and tensions than any other president in U.S.history. I suspect Obama’s administration has a staged shooting unit that has added a lot of fuel to the fire though. Think about it - we never had anywhere near the mass shootings and terrorist attacks before he came to power; not even close. My gut feeling tells mis administration has much to do with it and it’s all about making the feeble minded beg for protection by big daddy gubmint and asking him to take away all guns not realizing the consequences of that action with the current tyrants in charge.

Time to go after the cause of the problem

Heroin comes form the middle east. That is one of the few places the poppy will grow. A large part of the inner city death rates are tied directly to drugs.

Well, we all know that the story reported for the sheeple's consumption will have absolutely nothing that reflects reality.

It is funny, and they don't even see it. "This isn't working, let's try more!" SMH...

So called "gun control" does not work (at keeping society safe), has not worked in any place that has tried it, and never will work (common sense easily shows us that). Yet these fascists wannabes want a disarmed populace, so they keep trying to sell this insane notion...

You here about the new background check for muslims purchasing firearms?
1. Put your hand on a Bible
2. Eat Bacon.
3. Swear on record that Mohammed was a pedophile

I’ve read in more than one place that the majority of the heroin in the US is now being produced in Mexico and some from other Latin American countries

Pretty much all of it, regardless of origin, is coming through our southern border

Shout this from the housetops:

“Without registration there is no confiscation!”

Britain & Australia have had national gun registry since right after WWI, when thousands of Tommies were returning home with souvenir rifles & pistols. Most of them were working class, so there was class warfare in these new laws.

Both countries have parliamentary systems of government which means what the prime minister wants, he or she gets, and PDQ. Stroke of the PM’s pen, and entire classes of weapons are outlawed AND the police know where they all are.

Obama must be green with envy. Already said he doesn’t like how the Constitution limits his power.

We don’t have that. Diane Feinstein has been pushing national gun registration forever (and Teddy Swimmer Kennedy before her) and it’s gotten nowhere.

The ‘94 AWB was a ban on further sales of certain types of semi-autos & nothing more. Schumer & DiFi might as well have said, “if you like your assault rifle, you can keep your assault rifle”. Then it sunsetted into nothingness.

Without registration there is no confiscation, unless Obama wants to Federalize the nation’s police forces and touch off chaos and insurrection.

Until then, the usual Kabuki in the Senate & nothing more. Meanwhile, AR-15’s are flying off the shelves and production of Armalite lowers is now a cottage industry.

Quite right. The time to enact ‘gun control’ was when the dems owned the legislative and executive branches. As it was they barely got Ocare slammed thru. If gun banning was so important why didnt they do it then along with Ocare. After all they keep saying its a ‘health issue’. Even the dems know this is a losing issue.

How can this be? (From the Wiki): “...Massachusetts’ firearms laws are some of the most strict in the United States...”

MA has way too many Kuntzmanns, a real shame for the state that is most well known (from an historical perspective, anyway) for its residents’ defiance of a ban on privately-owned guns.

Nah, the problem in Boston (well, Southie really), is all the Puerto Ricans and other gang lowlifes. Jihadis in New England seem to prefer pressure cookers.

... and millions of more Muslims.

There is a bloodbath coming to America and the blame for it should be laid directly on the doorstep of Liberals but it probably won't be. They are just another affirmative action protected class of Democrat voters.
