Mr. Manchin, West Virginia Democrat, said all ideas had to be on the table in discussions on combating violence.

The way this Junta is taking over all forms of power over the people, I’d say it should go the other way. Stingers and Javelins for all! MRLSs for all! F35s in every driveway.

There are LOTS of WV voters who disagree with him.
He’s not running again.
That’s when they are most dangerous.

“I don’t know about a ban, but I’m open to a discussion on why we are needing so many of these types of weapons in civilians’ hands — for the purpose of what,” he said. “I want to know this.”

Well, I'll explain it to you, Mr. Manchin.

Say there is a BLM and / or AntiFa crowd advancing on me with bad intent. There's a reason.

Or say you guys in the government continue your slide to fascism and authoritarianism, and start depriving people of life and property. There's another reason.

Or say China and its military is invited into America by those who would sell usd out. There's even another reason.

Don’t worry Joe, the cartels won’t ban them and as soon as YOU do, they will have them ready to bring over the border and sell them to our criminals.

Banning anything while allowing open borders is banning NOTHING.

However, he’s not mad at the RAT party and their “media” who created this wave of shootings. This crap isn’t a coincidence. This was all planned.

Once again, the worst President in modern American history gets everything he wants, all of them except Build Back Better. And the GOP says nothing. They actually help make sure it happens, if you are paying attention to the whole process.

The Biden Boondoggle Bill was bad enough.
Nineteen GOP Senators and 13 GOP House voted for it.
Most of them will be re-elected.

People will not stop voting for Assistant Democrats.

FACT: Guns prevent an estimated 2.5 million crimes a year or 6,849 every day. 98+% of the time the gun is not fired and no blood (including the criminal’s) is shed.
