Funny joke there, Curly. Nyuk nyuk nyuk

“On Wednesday March 7, 2018, I was asked to address a group in West Asheville and relay information as it pertains to current gun legislation in NC.,” Buncombe County Sheriff candidate R. Daryl Fisher told visitors to his campaign Facebook page. “I took this opportunity to relay proposals on what I believe to be sensible gun legislation.
“A group”? Why not just come out and say it was Michaels Bloomberg’s Moms Demand Action?
“As a candidate for Sheriff, I cannot enact legislation,” Fisher goes on to deflect. “If elected Sheriff I cannot enact legislation. But as a candidate for Sheriff, I can propose what I believe to be sensible gun legislation. It is up to our legislators to determine what becomes law.”
What he’s obscuring is that law enforcement officials can be extremely influential in persuading lawmakers to act, and as sheriff, he would enthusiastically enforce citizen disarmament edicts. That he would take an oath to the Constitution seems not to trouble Fisher, as there are evidently no citizen disarmament laws he would refuse to issue to his subordinates or to obey himself.
He would enthusiastically enforce forbidding citizens old enough to serve in the military or the “unorganized militia” of U.S. Code from purchasing guns. He would ban standard capacity magazines for everyone (except the “Only Ones”), along with any firearm that has “some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia [or] is any part of the ordinary military equipment, or that its use could contribute to the common defense.”
How far would he go?
“There is one statement that many up to now have taken offense to,” Fisher notes, getting to the reason he felt compelled to post a Facebook clarification. “That statement starts out with language similar to, ‘Don’t believe the scare tactics,’ and I say that some gun enthusiast might say, ‘You will have to pry my gun from my cold dead hands.’
He’s glossing it over. He’s taking heat because his “joke” involved killing gun owners who would not surrender their firearms. What good would the Second Amendment be if we did?
“What about people that already had weapons? Well, I’m gonna tell you now, don’t buy into the scare tactics, don’t believe the scare tactics, because you’ve heard people say ‘You’ll have to pry my guns from my cold dead hands,’” Fischer admonished.
“OK, he grinned and shrugged to delighted laughter and applause of the Bloomberg Moms.
So don’t believe your lying eyes and ears? Ther afterthought of adding “Whenever you pass away…” was just that. His audience had already registered its unqualified gleeful approval, and besides, stealing from the dead or their grieving survivors isn’t much of a mitigator.
Fisher goes on to trivialize that “joke” by saying taking guns “would be unconstitutional because that would constitute what is called an ex post facto law” and that “responsible gun owners have nothing to worry about.”
What he’s not saying is that edicts could be passed, as they have in California, requiring gun owners to register the firearms he wants to see banned, and anyone who does not comply will be “fair game” for his shrug and “OK.” He also supports other prior restraint edicts that could order guns removed from citizens who have not been convicted of any crime. And face it, any official who would willingly and forcefully violate the Second Amendment is hardly a trustworthy arbiter of what’s Constitutional.
“Being downright rude, making false statements, making half-truths or being utterly disrespectful is unacceptable,” Fisher protests, like he’s the injured party, before urging voters to “properly voice your opinion … on election day.”
They will and whomever they pick will be predictably big on “gun control. ” Fisher’s one of three Democrat candidates out of a field of seven, Buncombe County “is the only Democratic bastion in western North Carolina” and it went big for both Obama and Hillary.
They’ll be “OK” with a badged gun-grabber.
If he makes good on what he’s advocating, he’ll have no legitimacy and his tin star won’t help him.
The first camps will look like Disney World.
On the 4th of July..................
I knew the hippie crowd had initially taken over Asheville years ago and then the elite crowd and slowly been migrating there for years to spoil what was once a wonderful southern mountain town in North Carolina, but was there recently and the entire place has become CA (SF - San Jose) east. Unfortunately a big part of NC from in the larger cities from Asheville all along I 40 to Wilmington, NC on the sea board are being infested and tainted with the younger stupid simple minded indoctrinated left leaning socialistic crowd that can never be reasoned with.
And no one thought to spray these neo Nazis with vx, because I guarantee these jerks were cheering the thought of us being killed. Or at the very least take pictures of who attended so we know whose businesses to shun. If they keep this up it's going to end badly for some of us and hopefully a great number of them.
R. Daryl Fisher, Democrat, claims this was a joke and he was repeating a line from a movie.
Still trying to figure out what movie he was talking about.
NYPD not enforcing gun control? What a naïve soul you are to believe that. Just look at NYC airports; people ho have firearm in their luggage are routinely arrested for violating NYC's gun laws. Arrested by the same NYPD whom you say told you in private that they would enforce confiscation.
I have no doubt.
I always read the second as because the state has a military you the individual may be armed. Why would anyone read it as a militia or military may be armed. Was this ever an issue whether or not a state may have a military and whether it may be armed? That’s kind of stupid.
And turn you in to the authorities.
“Being downright rude, making false statements, making half-truths or being utterly disrespectful is unacceptable”
Here’s all the respect you deserve: ESAD, you slobbering commie moron.

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? After all, you knew ahead of time that those bluecaps were out at night for no good purpose. And you could be sure ahead of time that you'd be cracking the skull of a cutthroat. Or what about the Black Maria sitting out there on the street with one lonely chauffeur — what if it had been driven off or its tires spiked? 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!

Sheriff's men arresting gun owners
Sadly, plenty of idiots think the same way and honestly can’t wait to go kick in doors and confiscate firearms.
They think it’ll go swimmingly, that the public will roll over.
Doubly sad, for some portions of the country, they may be right.
Looks like people going through TSA scanners.
