There. Fixed it for you.
DITTO on your #2 POST!
What should you do, Johnson? Come take them yourself rather than hiding behind human shields—coward.
Precisely. A firearm is a lifeless, inanimate object. The left has anthropomorphized guns as villains.
“The government called this a “buyback,” but in fact no one had a choice.”
As her Heinous said during one debate, (paraphrasing on the subject of taxes), `Those with more *will be asked to contribute more*.’
She has mentioned the Australian model. There won’t be any “asking”, but there may be shooting if this witch reestablishes herself in the WH and pursues this unconstitutional inequity with EOs.
I’m really conflicted: very confident that Trump will roll tomorrow, but at the same time remember my shock that Zero was re-elected after his ignominious first term.
New line of reasoning to pursue:
The civilian state-of-the-art in firearms, the most terrifying weapon in general circulation, is the AR15. While rarely used in crime, it is the epitome of what “gun control” proponents fear most. A few minor refinements aside, the design today is practically identical to its original design.
It’s 60 years old.
Handguns haven’t changed much either. Modern handguns are not significantly different (save for introduction of “double stack” magazines and polymer frames) from the M1911. Sure there are refinements, but no changes on par with what it did replacing the revolver. Semi-auto handguns of this approximate design absolutely dominate crime statistics, yet have never faced significant restrictions beyond limiting capacity to 10 rounds (spawning massive sales of subcompact & large-caliber compliance).
It’s 105 years old.
Can we somehow weave this into opposition to gun control? that we’ve stalled out both advancements in firearms technology (curse you, 922(o)!) and in attempts to ban them? Maybe point out that by banning (aka regulate into oblivion) detachable-magazine semiautomatics, the Left seeks to throw personal defense technology back 60 or 100 years to technologies 180 years old, and those (lever-action repeating rifles, revolvers) being not substantially less “dangerous” than what anti-gun activists are agitated about.
Not quite sure where I’m going with this, but it does involve incredulity that in 2016 we’re having huge political battles over designs roughly a century or two old.
Good thing now that no one is ever murdered, assaulted, raped, robbed, stabbed, shot in New York City these days......oh, wait.....
And take them to the range, practice with them, and clean and oil them.
An armed society is a polite society.
I am of the opinion that American has too FEW guns in the hands of law abiding citizens.
This only works for properly wired logical brains, like you and I have. Such is not the case for liberals and this must be true because...well, because puppies and unicorns and rainbows, that's why!!
“The basic idea is that fewer guns equal less gun crime.”
Actually, the truth of the matter is just the opposite.
Compliance with the mandatory Australian “Buy Back” was about 18%. Four fifths of Australian semi-auto gun owners decided to become criminals.
will kill about 3,300 today.
And tomorrow, and Wednesday and Thursday and...
Until the whiny Libs can get the Elephant out of the room; they can just SHUT UP!
A fact that the gun banners will never tell you. The "Australian experiment", like the Canadian registry was, in fact, a total bust. But, as we are all well aware, facts are meaningless to these folks...
the infowarrior
was it wikileaks or Project Veritas where it was exposed by an accolyte that when Hillary says “common sense gun control” she really means winkwink total confiscation, but dont tell anybody?
Shoot them?
Or just build a tall wall around the problem and let it take care of itself. Anyone who can get at least 80% on a 100 question Constitutional knowledge test may emigrate from said walled enclave back into America.
Expand production of the MSR.
