We keep hearing, “we need to have a national conversation about guns,” and then we keep hearing statements from those same voices that are simply not true.
If we’re going to have that national conversation, I want the other side to do its homework first.
I don’t want to hear CNN lamenting that Florida doesn’t require a concealed carry permit for an AR-15 or shotgun. (They are too large to conceal.) I don’t want to hear people referring to the AR-15 as an “automatic assault weapon” and I want them to learn the difference between automatic and semiautomatic, and which kind is already illegal. I don’t want to hear about “the gun show loophole” unless the shooter purchased his gun at a gun show... I want former presidents to stop asserting that it’s easier for a teenager to buy a Glock than buy a computer...
If someone wants to ban AR-15s, I want them to say so.
I also want to know what they want to do about the 5 million to 10 million AR-15s already in private hands. I want them to realize that if they don’t grandfather in the already-owned ones, they will instantly turn millions of law-abiding Americans, who have never fired a shot in anger, into criminals. If a gun control advocate proposes a buyback program like Australia’s, I want that person to recognize that the compliance rate ... was about 20 percent and it created a violent black market....
If a gun control advocate calls for law enforcement to confiscate AR-15s from private homes, I want that person to realize that they’re calling for...chaos.
And I want them to know that as long as groups advocate ideas like this, the line “no one wants to take away your guns” is a ... lie.

Okay.
Liberty.
Or....well...you know....
MSM know the truth they just don’t want to admit it.
I was gonna get snarky. But the author covered that nicely.

Great article.
Guns are necessary.
End of discussion.....................
You mean Senator Bill Nelson on FOX and Friends who repeatedly called this an AUTOMATIC weapon and yet HE passes laws on this stuff and he's an ignoramus?
Keep your powder dry, folks.
Liberals/communists are not interested in an ‘honest’ discussion of anything. Period. There is nothing to discuss. Thanks for playing.
No. We don’t need a national conversation about guns, or knives, or cars or pipes or any other inanimate object that can kill. We need a national conversation about MENTAL ILLNESS and how much we are going to tolerate the mentally ill affecting the safety of society. Its easy to consider controlling inanimate objects-it takes guts to control dangerous people.
“We Need an Accurate National Conversation About Guns”
NEVER.
GONNA.
HAPPEN!
How about a discussion about the widespread use of psychotropic drugs in young boys instead, since that is the root of the problem?
We need liberal control since they can’t control themselves and do all these killings.
“If a gun control advocate calls for law enforcement to to confiscate AR15s from private homes, I want that person to realize that they are calling for chaos.”
No they are calling for civil war. Guns are the line in the sand.
How about giving the 2nd amendment equal stature as first? Where is call to end 1st amendment because someone says something that was not liked. Oh, on campuses and social media. Maybe they should read the constitution and study some history. Leave our guns and 2nd amendment alone.
Sen Bill Nelson is living proof that too much time in Space will shrink your brain. What an airhead.
We’rs working to defeat his sorry ass in November.
"I have yet to see anyone hunting deer with an AR-15"
"An AR-15 would obliterate any given animal and destroy the flesh."
"this particular weapon doesn't require practice for tracking a target, carefully aiming, and shooting precisely"
"If you need to hunt with an AR-15, you are a horrible hunter"
"AR-15s are for slaughtering, not hunting."
"No one needs an AR15 to hunt. That is like hunting with a bazooka."
The thread ends wita someone lamenting that a number of these absurd points are refuted with accurate information:
"there seems to be lots of those replying to this thread who seem to be very focused and knowledgeable about things that kill. A very sad commentary on our society."
Expensive to buy and feed and more hoops to jump through but not illegal
The controllers want control.
That means you have to be disarmed.
By any means possible.
