You write stuff like this, your credibility goes right into the toilet, along with your article.
Progressivism, trying to destroy America since the nation was birthed.
Camel's nose? We already have half of the camel in the tent with garbage like Schemer and botox face going for the whole thing (ie common sense gun control otherwise known as total confiscation of all firearms not in government hands)
“Will anything change after Las Vegas? I’m not making any bets on that. But this much I’m pretty sure of: Americans, a lot of them anyway, love their guns. And politicians — few of whom are profiles in courage — love their votes. So you tell me if anything will change after Las Vegas. And if it did, would it make any real difference regarding gun violence in America?”
Insofar as the Second Amendment goes, Bernie, no! Besides, give Chicago a good month and they can equal, if not exceed the carnage we saw in Las Vegas, and no pious reporter like you is out clucking about “comprehensive” solutions to the violence there.
I can’t understand why TownHall published this dross.
This might be because this encapsulates the difference between "Good Hearted Liberal Useful Idiots" and Conservatives.
Note that I specify what kind of liberals, not all liberals. The ones who are not the "Useful Idiot" liberals have no intention of "giving peace a chance". They know stupid liberalism is all about power over others at its core, and also understand the 2nd Amendment is a barrier to total government subjugation of the citizenry.
Most Conservatives understand that all too well.
I tried the Springfield XDs, but my hands are simply too big and my last two fingers couldn't find a purchase on the grip. That's why I love diversity!
Good post, FRiend. Well said.
On the money.
Yep! MORE people went out and bought guns!
There is a response to serious problems that is called “Grasp the nettle.”
Rather than to try to legislate hand weapons out of existence (a fool’s errand, by the way), make a point of acquainting ALL citizens with the necessary basics in the care, feeding, grooming, and proper respect for the power of these hand weapons. What we have today is a great deal of superstition about guns and other hand weapons, and an irrational belief that simply possession is but a prelude to destructive use of these devices. I would start with making this program a requirement for graduation from high school, including instruction into the mechanics, storage, and familiarization firing of these hand weapons in a controlled environment, and extending the same to adults who wish to become informed about the potential and practical applications of means of self-defense, using guns or other hand weapons.
Why are you addressing me and accuse me of writing stuff like this. NEWS FLASH!!! I did not write the article. I am not the author.
GOT IT?
Town hall is not a particularly hard line conservative site. They have some nevertrumpers and liberal GOPe types that show up regularly.
You’d think with a 1998 sign-up date he’d know better.
So this prick thinks 47 guns is too many. Next thing they will want to limit how many stamps or coins collectors can have. How about Jay Leno’s car collection? Too hell with these idiots.
The price of bump stocks has skyrocketed and they’re not even illegal yet!
One vendor seems to have realized this obviousness. First they virtue-signalled & said no more sales of bump stocks. Then relented & announced they would sell bump stocks for as long as these remain legal.
And make a ton of money by doing so!
Exactly, thanks
There actually are reasonable steps that could be taken to much reduce these mass killings. They are well documented.
And, from Australia’s example, they seem to work:
They are:
Stop giving the mass killers fame and an incentive to kill.
Stop using the media to incentivise unstable people to become killing machines.
Here are specific things the establishment media could do, without *any* legislation:

"You" doesn't always mean "you"!
