NRA Asked Anti-Gunners the Name of the SCOTUS Case They Were Protesting. Their Responses Are Amazing.

"The name of the case, I don't know," one man said. "Actually, frankly speaking, I did not read. I was recruited here to represent my grandchildren."

Later in the video the same man is shown talking about the NRA.

"Demand action! Demand action for shutting down [the] NRA," he said. The man also suggested getting rid of the Second Amendment because "a gun for self-protection" is "not relevant at all" today.

"We live in a civilized society and must protect the interest of everybody," he explained.

Another man seemed to think the case was about so-called "assault weapons."

"We want to ban 'assault weapons,'" he said. When asked how an "assault weapon" is defined, his response was even more facepalm worthy.

He was RECRUITED there. How much is he being paid to protest? Who recruited him?

“At some point they are going to see that Trump has done more for minorities and poor people than Obama or Clinton.”

On what channel?

Not on any channel.

The thing that is scaring the hell out of the demonRATs, is that where the people are realizing that Trump is good for the minorities and poor people are living in the ghetto.

The DC autocrats never admit it, but the people living in the hood, they are experiencing the good times from Trump's policies.

What will the demonRATs call they blacks when they vote for Trump?

Racisssss? or Cult living porch naggers?

Maybe these articles might help clear it up. But, from experience, there are a helluva a lot more cops and deputy sheriff’s than there are federal agents.

So, this is a “punt” down field then?

Recall this adage:

Remember.... If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well.

That’s tough to do unless you have a sawed off narwhal tusk. Did you see the size of the one used in London?

When asked how an “assault weapon” is defined a typical liberal response is:

“It is a black, awful looking, scary gun that has hundreds of clips of bullets in it’s magazine that shoots hundreds of bullet per second...Walmart and Dick’s Sporting Goods used to sell ‘em...Now they don’t, but awful people can still buy ‘em online and at gun shops...”

Yep, that’s just about right. Don’t forget the “Weapons of War” bit. That always brings me to outright laughter.

Tell that to Chicago, any given weekend!

Well, _Jim ..... once again, another Free Republic person who’ll throw darts without explaining anything themselves.

I’ve been on the street, at crime scenes, etc with various law enforcement agencies, city-state-federal, and the Fed’s never bossed anyone around. Yes, there are times when they can claim jurisdiction over things, if it’s one of their operations, and departments will defer to that, most of the time. However, if the Fed’s shoot one and the locals want to investigate it, they can and there’s nothing the feds can do about it, except to lawyer up like any civilian.

If the locals want to give up their authority, they can. But from seeing it firsthand, that is becoming less common.

Notice when you see photographs of raids and large scale operations done by the Feds. Interesting that so many where vests that have, POLICE, emblazoned on there, when they’re not cops. When the complaints start rolling in, it takes a while to calm folks down and explain to them that it wasn’t any of the local officers doing what was done.

And the Feds, generally, have a policy where they just ignore people, hoping they’ll go away. The Feds play by a completely different set of rules than the locals. Because of that, the locals are, more and more, tired of having to clean up their mess.

When you see the FBI come in, on it’s white horse to ‘help’, many times that the local agency turning things over to them because they have more pressing needs, less equipment and the responsibility can be transferred over to someone else. Notice how so many events, that should be a local issue, are amazingly turned over to the FBI?

Uh-uh.

Still waiting for YOU to explain your assertion regarding sheriffs.

Don’t turn this around on me.
