If everyone who was in the Pulse that night had been armed the dude would have been shot down like the muslim dog he was, and then they would have come after the wife for knowing about it all and... the da-da. Not make a shrine out of the place.

Her signature is on the DNC nominating form they sent to the states.
The one sent to Hawaii stated Obama was a natural born citizen.
That language was left off the forms sent to every other state.
Nancy knew she was lying, that’s why she only did it on the one state that required it, ironically Hawaii.

All we have left for handgun ammo is the niche stuff, .357 Sig, 10mm, .41 magnum, etc.
Oddly, we have lots of shotgun ammo except 00 buck and slugs.
Rifle ammo is the same, mainstream calibers are depleted, but odd stuff is still plentiful.

Shotguns, particularly when used for wingshooting or at moving targets are used like golf clubs, tennis rackets or baseball bats. You train to keep your eye on the target and your analog computer brain learns where to point the gun. If you look at your gun while tracking a moving target the human brain will cause you to stop the gun and you end up shooting behind the target. There are other shooting disciplines that use the same method, and it’s been called “instinct shooting” or “point shooting.” There are exceptions, most notably when shotgunners are using slugs. Military shotguns are often fitted with aperture sights, and I think the reason is because their targets tend to be closer and more stationary, and it also takes time and practice to use the shotgun in the traditional fashion so there’s a training issue. Once you do learn though you, really don’t need sights. The only time I use the front bead on my guns is to position them on the top center of the trap house before I call for the clay bird.

Actually, even if they had simply group-charged him, even if they lost a few people, he would have been through.

I bought more ammo for both my handguns when the pandemic lockdown started-there was plenty of ammo for both .38 and .357 then, but when the anti-lockdown protests started in cities, I heard from a neighbor who went to the same place to stock up that they were low on all ammo but rifle-made sense to me, since a rifle probably wouldn’t be the 1st choice of self-defense weapon for most of us...

We had pallets of AR-15s and 5.56mm ammo for them, all gone.
Rifles with 30 round magazines make sense for defense against mobs.

If I lived in a city, I’d definitely get an AR 15-but way out here, there is no need-most people use a rifle for hunting deer, wild hogs, etc-food animals-a 30-06, 243, 270, 7mm, etc is fine for that-my deer rifle is a 270, but until 1990, I had a 284 semi-auto that I used on a lot of hunts-it got stolen out of our Suburban on a camping/hunting trip to New Mexico. I haven’t had a rifle I like as much as that one...

Needless to say there will be exceptions.

Yeah. Always a mistake to underestimate people or circumstances, but the guy in the green mask, purple hat with the shiny AR and clean vest, I'm not sure he's IRA material. They also compare themselves with the Paris commune. Harder looking fellows

Lasted 2 months, at the end 20m dead, 38m arrested. Like our July, 2020 insurrectionists, didn't build much

Thank you for referencing that article antidemoncrat. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

"Pelosi renews gun control push on anniversary of Pulse nightclub shooting"

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Patriots are reminded not to fall into the 2nd Amendment (2A) trap!

More specifically, the consequence of becoming preoccupied with 2A protections is that patriots and institutionally indoctrinated judges forget the following. The states have never expressly constitutional given the feds the specific power to limit what kind of firearms ordinary citizens can own.

”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.

In fact, the congressional record reminds us that Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker, had indicated that, until the 14th Amendment (14A) was ratified, the states had never expressly constitutionally given the feds the specific power to make peacetime penal laws, not even for murder!

From the 14th Amendment:

The great irony of Pelosi’s scandalous push to regulate peacetime use of firearms, undoubtedly hoping that low-information voters keep desperate, tax-loving Democrats in power by doing so, is this. Although 14A now gives Congress the express power to “regulate” personal firearms, 14A actually limits Pelosi and the rest of Congress to making laws that STRENGTHEN 2A protections from abridgment by activist, anti-2A state actors.

In fact, the 19th century Supreme Court had clarified that the purpose of 2A is to protect citizens from, corrupt, power-grabbing Congress!

"The second and tenth counts are equally defective. The right there specified is that of 'bearing arms for a lawful purpose.' This is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence. The second amendment declares that it shall not be infringed; but this, as has been seen, means no more than that it shall not be infringed by Congress. This is one of the amendments that has no other effect than to restrict the powers of the national government [emphasis added], leaving the people to look for their protection against any violation by their fellow-citizens of the rights it recognizes, to what is called, in The City of New York v. Miln, 11 Pet. 139, the 'powers which relate to merely municipal legislation, or what was, perhaps, more properly called internal police,' 'not surrendered or restrained' by the Constituton of the United States." —United States v. Cruikshank, 1875.

Note that delegates to the Constitutional Convention couldn't include firearms regulation in the 1st Amendment's list of specific powers prohibited to Congress because the delegates had given Congress the express power to raise and arm an army.

"Article I, Section 8, Clause 16: To provide for organizing, arming [emphasis added], and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;"

Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government Democrats and RINOs home in November!

Supporting PDJT with new patriot federal and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.

Shout it from the rooftops, Nancy, and have Slow Joe mumble it into his pudding. I want the millions of new gun owners to hear that you want to disarm them every day from now to November. And don't have a poll about it - you know everyone loves it.

Exactly right.

When the Left reveal their true intentions, we win.

They rule through the big lie, misdirection, and fake news.
