Constitution says I don’t need a reason to own a gun.

The real question is why we keep reelecting stupid corrupt people to Congress. We don’t ‘need’ folks like that who insist on lighting the fuse.

I would dare to say that when the community militias get started across America in due time many will say the heck with the NFA ruling. Suppressors and full auto will be available well a trained and well armed militia.

Remember... anyone here or anywhere else that says otherwise... is a communist or a tyrant... or both.

I am sure PBS has scrubbed it...

Does anyone remember the Korean Grocer on the Roof being filmed from above via TV Helicopter laying down a wall of supressive fire and protecting his Store with what I believe was an AR-15?

I didn't forget it, can we find the video, that is the million dollar question...

No, where and when did that happen?

All of the top leaders and politicians along with the super wealthy Hollywood types have the best security and will maintain that top security no matter what they may face. They talk very tough, don’t they... and seem to not care about we, the people being able to protect ourselves from a tyrant or a foreign entity to a national disaster. Just be in a natural disaster for a few weeks with no power, no road way clearance, no food or no water and part of your house is missing. You try to keep warm and if any trouble starts you need a way to protect your family from an intruder man/or beast. Gun rights is not about hunting. If a person wants a gun, they have a right for protection just as if they decide not to own one. It’s that simple. This is nothing but an agenda by the media and the far leftists.

Rodney King riots, LA, 1992.

IIRC, an image of that shows up here on FR occasionally.

—>>”I really don’t know why people need assault weapons. I’m not a hunter but I understand people who want to hunt,” Republican Rep. Peter King said on Morning Joe earlier this week. “I understand people who live in rough neighborhoods or have a small business and want to maintain a pistol to protect themselves as long as they’re properly vetted and licensed. But an assault weapon? “

Maybe the person is referring to Pete King’s comments..

First of all an EO cannot legally be used to ban guns. An EO can only be used to give instructions to the Executive Branch.

Having said that in the last four years our mighty Congress has shown zero will and/or ability to stop the unconstitutional overreach from the White House.

Numerous congressional reps are jumping on the bandwagon to push the White Houses agenda. The rest are not doing a thing to stop it. Heck even with F&F the few Congressmen supporting action can’t seem to fight their way out of a wet paper bag.

So no, I am not jumping the gun.

Yep - and after listening to Rush the other day, I looked at the 3rd Amendment with new eyes and see that it bolsters the 2nd by making it clear that the military is not the same as a militia. We probably need to start using it in the equation vs. leaving the 2nd by its lonesome...

Yes you are jumping the gun, because George Washington was the first president to use Executive Order

While everyday life in America compared to the rest of the world is pretty darn easy and relatively safe, the reality is things can change overnight,

And to anyone who knows a nickel's worth of history, the above is not the normal state throughout all of history. Mankind's history is pretty much, if you ignore the technological progress of the last 200 years, a history of cruelty, butchery and subjugation, without end, performed by men in power against the powerless. The greatest proponents of fascism in our day, the Democrat Party, will end up being those men in power if we give up our guns. That is their end game, and has been - power without restraint.

If we give up our guns, we're taking a turn back toward man's traditional history, and away from peace and prosperity.

Did he use an EO to usurp the Constitution? No
