8 modest proposals-—
1-—Stop letting criminals out of jail
2-7 -— Prosecute crimes and close the border
8-—End sanctuary cities

One last note-—we have over 10,000 state and local laws, 460 pages of ATF laws and dozens of Federal laws. We need almost all of these illegal laws rescinded.

Well G I doubt #1 is gonna happen..
#2...not sure what that means
#4...Yep good idea
#5...Only if the school boards are held accountable as well
#6...That should be happening already
#7...Nobody has the stones in Congress to make that happen
#8....We can demand all we want but until we stop re-electing every politician that runs for office it won’t change

**Temporary? Good luck ever seeing them again.***

And if you do get them back, they will be inoperable.

That is what the British did in South Africa in the late 1800s. They demanded the natives turn in their firearms, and when the natives got them back they were destroyed beyond use.

A US citizen had his legal licensed mint condition Thompson submachine gun seized. After several years of Lawyer work he got it back, so rusted up it was no longer operable.

Obviously they don’t want me to sign and comment in as I keep getting a run-around as I try.

Nothing modest about this. The usual BS, boondoggles and totalitarianism.

temporarily seize guns is right up there and part of those “common sense gun laws”.

Anyone remember the MSM talking points about “Saturday Night Specials” from the 70’s?

Yes, I do, and the 1980s and 1990s gun control fights, and the Clinton years. This is a rerun of 30 years ago. It failed to work then, it will not work now.

Gun control in the 90s got a lot of Democrats voted out of office. 30 years, given how Democrats run elections, I'm not so sure that will happen again.

Most people are at far more risk from an armed career criminal mugging or carjacking them, than from a random spree-killer.

Safety can be improved by long-term imprisonment of career criminals.

2-Governments should quit undermining the traditional family.

LBJ's "Great Society" pays folks not to work, Incentivized fathers to leave home, so Mom could receive better benefits. More kids, more benefits. Food Stamps, medical care, etc.

Proposal: Take all firearms away from anyone registered to vote Democrat, or who has ever voted Democrat. Doing so is a proxy for irresponsibility and criminal tendencies. Crime rates would drop by 98%.

Or a car, gallons of gas, chainsaws, hammers.

Yep.

Happy Land fire

The evening of the fire, González had argued with his former girlfriend, Feliciano, who was a coat check worker at the club, urging her to quit. She said that she had had enough of him and did not want anything to do with him anymore. He was ejected by the bouncer around 3:00 a.m. He was heard to scream drunken threats to "shut this place down." He also reportedly shouted, "I'll be coming back." Feliciano tried to warn others, worried that González was going to do something.

González went to an Amoco gas station, then returned to the establishment with a plastic container with $1.00 worth of gasoline. He spread the fuel at the base of a staircase, the only access into the club, and then ignited the gasoline.

Eighty-seven people died in the resulting fire.

I actually got a Rohr RG38. I mistakenly thought it was the “Saturday night special” that hinckley used.

I was wrong, he used the rg14 in 22. But i now actually own an UGLY mess of an actual “Saturday night special”.

Oh God it’s chrome too. Blued barrel and chrome frame. Bakalite fake ivory grip. This thing is high capacity ugly.

But fun!

“The Giffords gun safety group”

I don’t why Gabby is against guns. She seems to love the 5.7

She’s like a magnet to them.

Oh, I forgot to preface this. I tell horrible jokes about her and Jim Brady.

Eliminate the filibuster.

Ok, thanks for slipping that one in. Maybe they can recommend...

Eliminate the electoral college.
Prohibit any form of opposition to Democrat policies
Jail everyone who isn’t thinking approved thoughts.
Declare the Obamas as “president for forever”
Kill everyone who’s been to church

Oh my God I could get a sweet job as an MSN journalist.

Giffords is proof that you can shoot a liberal in the head and not hit any vital organs.
