People for the American Way Defend ‘Banning Rapid-Fire Ammunition’
Breitbart.com ^ | 1/6/2019 | AWR Hawkins

The People for the American Way (PFAW) are defending the New Jersey “high capacity” magazine ban, which they present as a ban on “rapid-fire ammunition.”

However, the ban is not about types of ammunition, per se, but about types of magazines.

On December 10, 2018, Breitbart News reported that the ban–which took effect December 11–makes the mere possession of “high capacity” magazines a felony. Even keeping such a magazine in one’s own home is illegal under the ban.

First off, to the gaggle of assclowns that belong to that pile of manure, it AIN'T the "American way", fidiots! Now, back to the matter discussed. I, at least for a couple of items, prefer "meandering ammo". WTH? Did they consult with X-spurt havhad bound hoggmeister? SMDH!

Full auto is for idiots, but approving this bad is also stupid:

They’ll simply keep moving the goalposts —FOREVER.

Full auto is fun, you should try it some time at a range that has full autos.

It IS fun —I’ve done a lot of it.

I absolutely enjoy it.

I just don’t think it’s very accurate, is all.

One could easily look at the Orwellian name of the organization “People For the American Way” and comprehend immediately the far left nature of the organization.

It is what they do.

I cannot afford to fill a Yacht’s fuel tank, but I can afford to fill a few ‘standard’ capacity mags and fire full-auto.

I think my pleasure from that is greater than from Yachting.

“People for the American Way” is a liberal ‘elite’ front group...

Tried it in the Army; although they told us to fire three round bursts (except during ambushes) and I get why.

One time me and a pal snuck under the bridge and got behind the drill sergeant who was ambushing us. We stood behind him and both poured a couple of full auto magazines of blanks into him before he turned around and said "Good job, fellas! Now how about helping me shoot your platoon?" We gladly joined him.

Letting your dog pi$$ on a fire hydrant New Jersey is a felony, unless you’re Black!

So, what’s the problem?

When the firing pin strikes the primer do we need some legislated delay before igniting the powder???

I might suggest that that is like the liberal brain.

Delay before comprehension, if that even occurs.

They don’t even know what the goalposts are, they just insist on moving them.

So now they want to make such magazines ‘homeless’.

I’ll bet they want said magazine to vote Dem.

I have a 10 round magazine on a bolt action rifle.
I like it that way. I don’t have to fumble around in a lint filled pocket for the extra shells.

Just remember, most gun deaths are with handguns, and for many years, that was their focus. But some time in the 25 years, their sights and been turned to “assault weapons”, which contribute to relatively few deaths. They rightly point out that assault weapons are well suited to resisting a tyrannical government. Such resistance has not yet occurred, so one must wonder what they have in mind which could precipitate an armed revolt.

Guess they mean the South American Way, like Venezuela.
