His crappy diet is going to do him more damage than a gun.

If their logic was correct then the stricter the gun laws in different state in the US, the strictest states concerning gun laws would have correspondingly lower gun homicides. Also false.

Sure like Chicago and Washington, D.C. ...

Friday: Went to the gun range. 200 rounds through my 1911. 50 through my .380

Saturday: gun show. Then to the range. 100 rounds through my 1911. Then 10 rounds through an old warhorse m1911a1 made in 1941. Best grouping of the day out of that sweet old thing

Sunday: Went to the range. 60 rounds of .223 through my 5.56 rifle. 100 rounds through my .380

Think I’ll buy a new shotgun this weekend.

Okay, this is the dumbest crap I’ve read since the last dumb leftist crap I read, maybe 2 hours ago.

Never gets old, dumb crap from leftists.

The liberal fascists have long promoted the mythology that the understanding of the second amendment was always a "collective right" ...

It's all BS. They have found the right to abortion in The Constitution. They have found the right to same-sex marriage in The Constitution. But a right that is explicitly stated, the right to keep and bear arms, they want to take away by arguing that the meaning is up to interpretation. No way.

A well-regulated Militia,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What they meant by this is well equipped.

The militia supplied their own weapons.

Correct. It's related to the term "regular" Army. It doesn't mean the "normal" army like modern parlance would suggest. It means a standing army that is provisioned by the government and prepared to fight. A well-regulated militia is one that is provisioned and ready to fight... an army of individuals who bear their own arms.

The author is illiterate regarding 18th century English. And she is a dumb ass.

Hey, she writes for The Nation. The only reason the magazine is still published is Katrina vanden Heuvel's money.

Good luck getting 2/3rds of the states to agree to it.

Name one reason you need an AR-15.

If the government is going to start defining what we can have based on its definition of need, the country is finished.

Try it. That’s THE line in the sand.

And what makes this idiot think millions of Americans will just roll over and comply?

Elie Mystal, a black attorney and popular legal website editor, stated on December 7, 2016, that all black individuals that serve on juries should automatically vote to free any black person who had been charged of murdering or committing a crime against a white person, especially a white man, despite the evidence.

If he really said that, then he's lost all credibility with me right there. No need to read anything further.

Who ever wrote this is an absolute clown. He/she can’t be serious, not even worth refuting - too easy.

He and his fellow fascists should just secede. They can create their own gun free zone nation and they can take the federal police state with them.

“His crappy diet is going to do him more damage than a gun.”

Sooner rather than later, I hope!

Must defend his First Amendment right to make an ass of “hisself.”
But, I will defend my Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms, just in case his lunacy is taken seriously.

Don’t mess with old men, they will just as easily kill you as look at you.

MOLON LABE, Amen

“...Name one reason you need an AR-15....”

Easy.

Because it’s MY RIGHT TO DO SO.

Next question.
