Bob Beckel on Fox news asked yesterday, "Why does anyone need an "assault rifle"?
I thought...Why does anyone need a 900 HP muscle car?...they could drive an East German wondercar like the Trabant or a Yaris or some other meager means of transport which aren't so "wasteful and dangerous". Why is there 1st class seating on airliners? Why are there multi CPU, overclocked computers when a plain vanilla Dell would be adequate?
I know you could come up with many more examples like this.
There are many choices we have the privledge to make because we live in this wonderful country. Some of the choices are wasteful, frivolous or dangerous to some. One of the choices we have is the weapon we choose. Whether it's for sport or protection...it's our choice...like many things in our life. You know...."assault weapons" are not Automatic weapons...they are the same mechanically as some hunting rifles with just a change in the stock design...with maybe a pistol grip added. They look more dangerous to these communists in the house and senate so they want to get rid of them. Most don't know a thing about firearms.
We have, and enjoy owning all types of guns because we are Americans and have freedom of choice. It would be wrong to take guns away from good and lawful people. You know the criminals won't give up there's. This is just another lie from the left.
This is the same Bob Beckel who wrote a check to a hooker using his own personal check LOL..f’n idiot..apparently didn’t have the cash on him poor guy
But we can try. I love mine, and, I look pretty darn cool when I’m drawing a bead on an evil little pouch of tannerite. Yee-Haw!
Why do I need one? Why shouldn’t I be able to have one? The Second Amendment, the Supreme Court, and generally accepted Natural Law say that I have the right to defend myself. Why do these people demand that I explain myself? They must explain themselves, and, to overcome the above, it had better be one hell of a good explanation.
The framers of the constitution were not stupid. The 2nd Amendment seves 2 purposes; protect the entire Bill of Rights; enable our ownership to the same level of sophisticated as our Government.
There are 20,000 gun laws on the books. It didn’t stop the shooter from braking the law, steal the weapons from his mother, and start killing.
VERY nice analogies. They make perfect sense, are concise, and make the point in an easy to comprehend manner. Very nice.
Notice how none of these fools actually have guns....Carlson, nor O’Reilly, who said last night he was a “2nd Amendment guy”, then admitted in the next breath he wasn’t a “gun guy”, and we have to tighten these laws for the children.
Didn’t hear Gretchen’s remarks on cops at school. I hope her boy gets the toy oven he wants. :::eyeroll:::
totaly agree.
The emdia always play the same angles in issues like this.
Report the story with no much facts.
Find neighbors of said shooter.
Find witnesses
Find friends of neighbors and shooter.
Make a hero of a couple of people.
Mention funerals every day.
Show grieving media woman.
and most of all find an angle where they can push their left wing agenda and yes that goes for many at FOX.
Those at FOX who do not mention this as silenced for fear of being not caring.
I’ve hardly watched the news since this crap, if you can call FOX and Friends news today.
Channel surfing got me even more pissed off as they only care about their left wing agenda and sadly millions watch their crap and think it;s the truth.
As for Gretchen Carlson, what a joke she is, IQ of 5, has no understanding how others live outside of her elitist circle.
She looks like a battered old maid with tons of make up on lately .
My wife has never liked her and I;ve come to the point I can;t stand her either.
Like you said she is revolting, Kilmeade is a little child too.
Vehicles assault and kill thousands each year!
Yep, I remember that. She’s got a good self-righteous act going.
Whenever someone, usually a libersl asks why someone needs something, usually something the liberal disapporves of, my immediate response is “What someone needs or does not need is none of your business.”
I'm game, what would be a valid answer?
Right on both counts! :)
Good thread
I was at Carter’s Country in Spring today and business was brisk.
Plentiful supply though.
that is why I can;t do it since leaving the military LOL
I really liked shooting Gunner’s Nagant. ;-P
What’s an assault rifle?
My dealer says he is having trouble getting anything because demand is so high.
