The “news” media is ranting the democrats familiar song, after a muslim jihadi committed atrocities in a gay nightclub: “We must ban the AR-15, a weapon of war, it has no place in the public’s hands. Why does anyone need an AR-15 to murder Bambi?”
It doesn’t matter to the “fair and balanced“ media that the mass murderer (not “gunman,” a deliberate derogatory sexist slur against men—and guns) didn’t use or even have an AR-15.
It doesn’t matter that banning the AR-15 would have zero effect on what was done, or what the next jihad assault will do. All that matters is that murders create political capital and useful propaganda that influence useful idiots to press Congress to act against the Constitution. And they do. For shame.
What democrats and anti-rights bigots want is to ban all effective weapons in American hands. Without realizing it (maybe) they pursue marxist goals of making the public subservient to the government boot. It is the exact opposite of why the Second Amendment is in the Constitution in the first place: It’s there to balance federal power.
Ever since the so-called Gun Control Act of 1968, when officials could get all the machine guns they wanted, but you and I could only get single-shot rifles like the AR-15, we have been subarmed. The balance of power flipped decisively to government.
That’s why you see the atrocious federal leviathan that concerns everyone. Even the ACLU is worried about how much federal power has grown. Mao was right. Power comes from the barrel of a gun. All I have is the barrel of a pen. Ain’t much of a match.
Democrats and their sycophantic media allies have been down this road before. They’re yelling about the AR-15, but when the bills come out—mark my words—the AR will not be the only gun in the bill. Every black gun known will be included. They hate black guns. They barely understand guns at all, but if they’re big and black, they hate ‘em. Listen, it’s not good to hate.
Ours only fire one shot at a time, and are all we have left. Antis think they’re machine guns, but they took those from us back in 1968. They know nothing, but that doesn’t matter to hoplophobes—people with morbid gun fear who desperately need but never seek treatment.
In their last bill, Diane Feinstein’s, they listed guns in a 90-page catalog, but that was a trick to throw you off. You think this bill will go backwards and list fewer? That bill, in fine print, broadly included guns with anything that could serve as a grip. I know, it sounds impossible, but I read these things. With a little subtle maneuvering, that’s what they did, the list was a smokescreen, didn’t matter, since any gun has grips, so you can pick it up and hold it. That’s how these people operate. So-called reporters promoted the talking points (“Save the children!”) not the actual proposal (“Take all the guns!”). The so-called background program was a gun-registration scheme, again misreported.
Then bigots yell at the NRA for blocking “reasonable common sense bills.” They are nothing of the sort. And of course, banning the AR-15—the finest rifle made in America, the choice of police who are otherwise outgunned against the exact same criminals people face—would have no effect against jihadis. It would just disarm us. The jihadis can’t bear anything, legally. Hillary, Obama, all their allies, they know this. They’re knowingly lying to your face, to disarm you.
And this no-fly lie? The Constitution cannot (legitimately) be suspended by putting anyone’s name on a list. If you’re so bad you can’t fly to Cincinnati, why are you still out walking around? Why can you take a train or bus there? You should be charged with something before your rights can be summarily removed. You should have due process. Those are blazing red lines no serving politician should ever cross. Any politician who votes to remove your rights by simply writing down your name is by definition a tyrant who must be removed from office. Who writes down your name? A federal police force acting in secret. Secret police list. In America?
If Americans are subarmed, limited to bolt-action wood guns, or some other total infringement that leaves America in a completely unbalanced state, the shining light of freedom will have been extinguished. The jihadis will have won. With asymmetrical warfare underway, we should be teaching Americans how to shoot, and arming them better, not passing laws to confiscate their guns.
Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership, they know this road. They are teaching people about how to shoot. Look:
One of the reasons I support the NRA is because I’ve watched the slippery slope at work in so many other facets of our lives. They do want to take all of the guns, and we must fight every battle to either stop the seizures or slow them to a snail’s pace. The term “assault weapon” is concocted to scare low-information sheeple into supporting an outright ban on guns (and those sheeple are too stupid to realize it).
Is my gun on the list?
Right ater Orlando, they came after AR-15’s AND .50 cals. What do .50 cals have to do with Orlando?
Wanna know what a single .50 cal hit can do to the tail rotor of a hovering government helicopter, and what happens immediately afterward?
I’m a former chopper pilot so I have given this some thought.
The Barrett M82A1 .50 cal rifle is an equalizer if you get my drift.
Actually the 1934 NFA was what started the disarmament ball rolling with the full auto ban. Otherwise, many good points.
Dianne Feinstein straight up admitted her goal was total disarmament back when BJ and Monica were in the Oval Office.
Remember 70% of dems believe the Orlando shooting is only about gun control. About 70% of republicans believe it is about Islamic terror. With such a great gap in stupidity, is there any hope?
With numbers like that,a second civil war would seem to be unavoidable.
Yes, But it might be prudent for true patriots to buy some large PVC tubes, stuff it with a firearm and ammo and bury it in an obscure location. The mentally insane gun grabbers are coming and don’t fool yourself, they are coming for all your guns. Remember the main purpose of the 2nd amendment is to protect us from a tyrannical gov’t!
Finally someone has nailed the true agenda of this topic.
I agree; there isn’t much hope. Since leftists destroyed the WASP identity of our nation, I don’t relate to it at all; it’s all about tribes now...
Duh. The left never saw a gun they didnt want to ban.
(grease in barrel as well as around? Probably) As far as long term storage of ammunition, i think that may be more difficult. Consider alright y'all, how do you go about hiding stuff from ground penetrating radar and metal detectors?
...bury in national forest or other public property (don't be seen), bury on neighbor's property, find a piece of land that is owned and not developed...also, how is the print your own gun movement going? And if we are feeling extra frisky buy extra pvc pipe and put steel pipe in it and pack with grease...do that many more times than hiding weapons..actually, if any of you feel like not caching weapons, just cache decoys. There are ways to make it frustrating and time consuming.
The liberal/democrat view of the nation is a nation of dependents waiting for a handout or crumbs from the ruling liberal elite. They want no threat from an armed populace. They want suppliant voters who will keep them in power. Contrast this with our founding fathers who valued liberty and freedom above all. The choice could not be more clear.
Of course they do - this whole ‘AR15’ thing is just a straw man.
They won’t be happy until the populace is totally disarmed and the Second Amendment is disregarded de facto if not de jure.
