Because the government does everything so well. /s
Dear Lord, what is this man drinking?
The shooting was not the result of guns it was the result of gun control: specifically the gun-free zone policy that disarmed the victims and presented an easy target for a killer.
I see someone’s mommy didn’t give them enough attention growing up.
Guess he’s a different kind of Vet than me. I seem to remember swearing to uphold the constitution (warts and all). I suppose things have changed since 1967. Dear gunny. STFU and LUTFA!
He is more predisposed to an irrational fear for his 6 year old son’s life than he is in being free. It’s a canard all liberals use - the children. It is the cause of some of they most egregious thefts of personal freedom affirmed to us by the Constitution.
Frankly, as a former vet myself, he can take his Navy arms instructor stuff and stick it up his ass.
Any Questions????
The gun threat to his 6 year old son is a symptom of the problem....but its not the problem. The problem is the decline of the culture...the loss of moral absolutes. And those aren't because of guns....they are the result of liberals.
Military instructor means one thing. Lived the childlike existence of life on a military base. The worst effect military life has on some people is their desire that the civilian world should be a very close copy of life on base. They love being the block monitor, are prigs about association rules etc.
Sorry swabby, no dice on your plan. Your 6 year old had no right to a magic bubble of what you think is safety. FU and the admiral, I don’t live on base. Go paint something.
Well, I’m a Navy vet, and I disagree. So there.
"From 1999 through 2010, a total of 46,419 deaths from unintentional drowning (including boating) occurred in the United States, an average of 3,868 deaths per year."
There is no constitutional right to either a car or a swimming pool, so let's ban them! It would be more than 3 x more effective than banning guns!
None of the plethora of anti gun legislation has stopped one person who is bent on mass murder.
At least if there were one honest person with a gun at the scene of a mass shooting, he may have a chance to to stop the shooter before he has done a lot of damage.
Alright, Shawn VanDiver, I'll say it. Our right to own whatever firearms and ammunition we want is more important than anyone's life -- your 6 year old son's, yours and mine included. And if you are a veteran and a red blooded male, you should think about such important matters and not merely feel about them. Feelings are fickle, and must be tempered with reality through rational thought. Man up!
Now ask who should be be armed and who should be disarmed.
And don't try to say it can't happen here. We are at most one generation away from tyrrany and considerably less at this moment.
I don’t care what his background is, this guy is a dick and his “suggestions” are ludicrous. Even suggesting a 5-10 cent tax per round on ammunition (and calling it manageable) is a non starter from my point of view, and tells me that his suggestions are best ignored by any sane citizen.
Purely a gun grabbing loser who is simply regurgitating ideas that have no use outside of infringing on the Second Amendment Rights of Americans, IMO.
Free men and women don’t need to ask for permission to exercise their natural rights.
Please note my tagline.
We should tell this guy to go back to medical school and get a degree in psychiatry. Then he can comment on all of the mass shootings (that don’t involve Muslims.)
Vielen danke, mein Furher!
Books? Yes he has. Communist manifesto, Das Kapital, 0bama’s autobiographies, Mien Kampf.
His plan however is ironically regressive. All these restrictions would hurt the poor who could not afford all the taxes and training.
