Interesting look through the rear-view mirror.

I am trying to find the text of Feinswine’s AWB proposal. I’ll need my trifocals....

Did I mention that the 1968 Gun Control Law was based on the 1938 Nazi Weapons Act of Nazi Germany.

Thomas J Dodd had a copy of it to copy from.

Watch for the TSA to start showing up at schools now. It’s just the next step toward the police state.

[[The NRA appears to be getting ready to conceded something. I suspect they will allow some sort of ban, and maybe some confiscation]]

The folks supportign hte NRA through donatiosn and membership costs should emphatically state to t5he NRA that IF they cave in on this that the organization will lose htem as donars and members- We support hte NRA because they are suppsoed to protect our second amendment rights- NOT to cave in to the left on ANYTHING- period! IF the NRA fails to do the job we are supportign htem to do, then it’s high time they lsoe our support-

Wanna hear somethign even more fantasical? I went ot hte health center a little whiekl ago, and htey asked me ‘Do you have any guns in the home?” and it caught me totally off guard, and I made the msitake of sayign yes- I should have said “With all due respect, I don’t htink that that is any of your business”

So now apparently they are trackign who own guns by making it a requirement for health officials to ask if htere are guns i nthe home

perhaps it’s time for law abiding citizens to becoem criminals- that way we’ll be protected by oru government- We can own anything we like, do anythign we like, and bleedign heart liberals will come running to our defense if they law ever breathes down our poor misguided necks- Hell, I might even becoem a citzen of mexico just so I can sneek across the border back into America and get me soem government funding and protections

A nurse at the V.A. asked me that recently, too. “No, of course not!” I answered.

you were smarter than me then- I have a health condition that exhausts me mentally- and makes it hard to think quickly- 10 years ago She woudl have never got away with sneaking that question into the questionaire- We did however just move, so next time they ask me I’ll be prepared by stating, No, We removed of all the guns that were in the house- which technically won’t be a lie as we did take all the guns out of our last hosue-

She was already asking things like “have you ever thought of harming yourself or others?” and that kind of stuff so I kind of saw it coming. I don’t understand these preppers and other people who go on television and show off their weapons, food supplies, tactics and etc...

If Jerky Joe is as thorough on his gun control assignment as he was on his assignment to track the Stimulus spending we will soon be able to purchase nuclear artillery rounds at the corner store.

Obama just gave gun stocks (the financial kind) a boost.
Ruger has jumped 6% today.

They are NOT preppers.

They are attention whores who are paid a $500 retainer by National Geographic (out of Obama's stash) for the chance to be seen on television and babble incoherently about their favorite tinfoil-hat conspiracy theory. And the wilder the better.

All for the express mission of making people look stupid and reinforce Leftist stereotypes.

They are not preppers. They are paid actors.

But, but the problem was solved in 1968!

“Today we begin to disarm the criminal and the careless and the insane. All of our people who are deeply concerned in this country about law and order should hail this day.- Lyndon Johnson when he signed the 1968 GCA into law.

Wonder if Biden will find all of this as funny as he found the Benghazi deaths.
