Modern history? The only one to do worse in all our history was Lincoln.

There is currently no federal law against murder, unless it’s a fed.

Start there.

Yup.

We can trust him except when we can’t.

An umbrella guaranteed to work except when it rains.

By the way, with guarded and soft tones the radio media seem to avoid saying a group of teens of a certain race shot some people at a party, a barbecue, a yard, in a driveby where a child was shot inside a house, and several other venues. Just “more gun violence in three more cities overnight.”

A computer programmed to figure this out would say “Do not allow that group to possess firearms and shootings will drop by 97.99%”

It is becoming apparent the news story shooters are the Chicago,Detroit and NYC non mentally ill, non white guy types of people shooting during crimes or while agitated on drugs and having someone at a party “diss” them. Same old story but would embarrass the Dems if it gets out.

“ semiautomatic rifles — commonly labeled assault weapons”

Commonly and purposely mislabeled as assault rifles for fraudulent means by libtards 🤪

Fixed it

Has anyone asked people like Manchin how this ban will stop what happened in Uvalde? People buy guns black market. They also steal guns. If you want one, you will get one.

This is just a gun grab to punish law abiding gun owners for what a criminal does and will continue to do ban or no ban.

Well, apparently Manchin is gone in 2024. Perhaps he realizes with how red West Virginia is turning he’s likely gone no matter what he does, so he might as well cozy up to the left in hopes of getting a cabinet position or something.

Well Mr. Manchin, how about you disarm criminals, cartels, terrorist groups (with tons of fully automatic rifles), (double scary) from Afghanistan.
Not to mention mercs and shady gun dealers all over the world.
Do that FIRST.
How you're going to do that without even more firepower eludes me.
It's not like hanging "Gun Free Zone" signs in the jungle.

Helps getting it into the garage. Of course the neighbors are all a twitter when you fire it up at 4am to head to work.

"Has anyone asked people like Manchin how this ban will stop what happened in Uvalde?"

An armed intruder enters a school with a rifle and the Uvalde authorities spend an hour deciding what to do. In a just world the main stream media would be shaming them mercilessly.

Ban so-called "assault weapons"? An intruder with a baseball bat could have created the same carnage.

The main stream media is the enemy of our Republic. That is what needs changing.
