Stop The Insanity: Ban Guns
captainsjournal.com ^ | 11/23/2014 | Herschel Smith

Let the hunters keep their rifles and shotguns; those weapons are ineffective tools in a mass shooting. But we need to ban handguns and assault rifles for all but police and military.

One of the frequent refrains of gun freaks about President Obama is “He’s coming for our guns.” Obama never said such a thing. But I will:

We’re coming for your guns. And someday, we’ll take them.

Well, Herschel is saying out loud what the rest of the Left are thinking.

There are ways to take everyone’s guns. None of them can be done without massive loss of life. Herschel is probably ok with that.

Blast. Out of the corner of my eye, I thought the headline was “Stop The Insanity: Buy Guns”.

Look at Australia where a gun free utopia has been achieved by disarming the citizens. Gun crime is on the rise in Australia and criminals and terrorists have no problem getting guns.

Except here in Alaska, we religiously hunt with ARs; ain’t about to part with my 308 SCAR or anything else. Some real deal fools out there.

If banning guns could stop insanity then it would by default ban liberal thinking.

Gun freaks say if you take away their guns only outlaws will have guns. That’s a chance worth taking.

Talk is cheap.

Move to the southside of Chicago and take that chance.

I'd love to see his definitions.

With a little practice someone can do some major damage with a single shot shotgun. This guy is pretty quick but I'm guessing he could be a lot quicker if he wanted to be.

If I may be a bit sardonic about it, don’t forget the other two G’s of the popularist trinity: God, and Guts. Without God in your Guts your Guns will not mean a pitiful thing.

And someday, we’ll take them.

I can almost guarantee YOU won't... maybe the 31st or 61st guy in line will, depending on how fast I can change magazines.

‘Let the hunters keep their rifles and shotguns; those weapons are ineffective tools in a mass shooting. But we need to ban handguns and assault rifles for all but police and military.’

Mr Smith should become familiar w/ the topic he’s writing about before actually writing and publishing it.You’d think an editor somewhere along the line would have told him so. Guess in this day and age anything goes...facts need not apply.

Are the cold dead hands people actually willing to go out that way? Is it important enough to them?

These are questions that need asking. Slogans may sound wonderful till push comes to shove.

No liberal will ever take anyone’s guns...they are too cowardly. They will, instead, send the government with guns to take them.

Um, I think Hersch is giving examples of what the lefties are doing/saying. He’s stocking up.
