Have you bought a gun lately? Or for that matter since 1968.
Hilarious!
We won’t need to worry about “Mr. Polling at 0%’s” plans
80% receivers don't have 4473's They are "ghost guns". Currently legal, as long as you don't try to sell it.
'Course, I wouldn't know ANYTHING about the millions of paperweights that other people buy...
Now, a 6.5 Grendel, with a 24" barrel, out to 800 yards...
Don’t need a court conviction for impeachment.
They didn't in 1776.
Yes. I understand what you think that you “know,” but the facts don’t support your feelings.
LOL! Come on then, pussyboy.
And the result would be one or more dead law enforcement and a dead owner of a firearm which was within his/her rights to own under the Constitution.
It would come to that.
Bring body bags also... someone’s going to need them.
I defer to your infinite wisdom.
Beto O’Rourke is proposing something that will never happen. Remember that things like this and other things the democrats are proposing have happened in countries that went SOCIALIST! They didn’t happen all at once, but were creeping in over time like a political cancer.
Anti-American, weak-kneed, chicken crap, POS. Enemies of the republic, the citizens of the U.S.A.:
1) O’Rourke
No, it will never happen. They will steal your rights a tiny crumb at a time.
No one wants to take your guns away. Today.
The liberals plan to gradually make gun ownership so difficult and expensive that many will give them up. They won’t try outlawing and confiscation because that would result in a shooting war that they could not win.
First, they will outlaw certain types of guns. Any firearm that can accept a detachable magazine will become an “assault weapon”. Your scoped .30-06 deer rifle will become a “sniper rifle”. Your 12 gauge pump shotgun will become a “street sweeper”. They will outlaw “armor piercing” ammunition which will be defined as any bullet that can penetrate soft body armor. All replacement parts for your firearms will be prohibited from being manufactured or sold.
Then they will institute high capacity magazine bans and prohibitions against transferring them, safe storage requirements, mandatory liability insurance, registration, restrictions on where and how you can carry and use a gun, violation of any one of them will be a felony that takes away your RKBA. They will require expensive and lengthy “safety training”.
Then there will be high taxes on ammunition and firearms, background checks before you can buy ammunition or reloading components, universal background checks on firearms, elimination of instant background checks, mandatory waiting periods where the government can delay approval indefinitely where your social media posts will be scrutinized for “troubling” content.
They will have secret “no buy” lists that any politician, law enforcement officer, or bureaucrat can add to and no one is allowed to see. There will be with no due process once your name is on it. There will be “red flag laws” where anyone can report you as a “threat” where your firearms can be seized without due process.
There will be a ban on the manufacture of new firearms, except to the government, of course, and a total ban on the transfer of existing firearms, even to relatives in a will.
And don’t forget about “smart guns” which will be ridiculously expensive, unreliable, and easily overridden and defeated to make it possible for the government to disable them remotely. All new firearms will be required to have them and eventually they will require ALL firearms to be retrofitted with them. Which is impossible of course, but anyone caught with a dumb gun will be charged with a felony and jailed.
All of this will be done a step at a time with the promise of safety. Their safety. As they sit behind desks in buildings with government-paid, armed security and bulletproof glass and ride around in armored limousines living in the best houses and eating the finest food your money can buy.
During all this, your children and grandchildren will be flooded with propaganda that tells them that no one needs guns and that they should rat out family members, neighbors and friends with “illegal” guns and how “good citizens” turn in grandpop’s guns when he dies.
By that time, the citizens will be brainwashed into believing that it’s for their own good as the warden slams the doors shut.
1) Government spokesman O’Rourke...
“Hell Yeah, We’re Gonna Take Your AR-15”
Who is “we” you weak-kneed, unchallenged, unipartarian, anti-American, Stalinist POS?
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn’t love FREEDOM enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn ,
The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

1) UNCHALLENGED government spokesman O’Rourke
I believe Matt Bracken wrote that they’d import Khazakistani (sp?) mercenaries to do the job.
