A Lesson From History
Self | 5/25/02 | Self

Before I post the lesson from history:
First things first!


All of the talk/nonsense about the banning of "assault weapons!"


Define "assault weapon!"
Scary black thing?
What?


How do you explain this?

President Biden's pick to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Steven Dettelbach, acknowledged Wednesday that he does not have a definition for the term "assault weapon."

ATF DEFINITION

The Reason For This Post

"One of the ordinary modes, by which tyrants accomplish their purposes without resistance is by disarming the people, and making it an offense to keep and bear arms."

Joseph Story , Supreme Court Justice on the 2nd amendment

We’re looking at another ammo and weapon shortage. Maybe bidet will be as good a gun salesman as obozo was.

When they demand our guns we might as well turn them in bullets-first, because they are going to kill us anyway.

We might even win.

I think it’s fully automatic weapons, not assault weapons that the banners want to ban.

A sharp stick in the right hands could take out dozens in any closed area.
