Gretchen Carlson's Ignorant Tweet About the AR-15 Sets the Internet Ablaze
Red State ^ | October 31, 2023 | Nick Arama

Posted on 11/01/2023 4:29:36 AM PDT by DeplorablePaul

Ordinary people didn’t have AR-15s before 2004. They’re not some time-honored American tradition, they’re a recent mistake that we could fix and save thousands of lives in the process.

ARs do have a distinctive and aggressive ‘look’, which makes them evil.

We can fix that............

Our AR-15’s have killed fewer people than your Abortions.

Gretch wreaked the Miss America beauty contest. What a jerk.

Probably spends her days shopping for make-up with her 20 million lawsuit haul.

She doesn’t even grasp how she defeats her own logic with the facts she states. Also, she doesn’t define mass shooting. She just spouts it off.

My dad bought a Belgium Browning 12 gauge semi automatic shotgun in the 1950s. It has the ventilated rib and the gold trigger. He bought it when he owned the farm on the edge of the Iroquois/Tonawanda Indian reservation about half way between Batavia and Niagara Falls, NY. It was a great gun for shooting geese. The swamps right next door was a major migratory stop for Canadian geese.

He sent it back to the factory because it would go into full auto mode sometimes and fire off three shells in a row. Even though you only pulled the trigger once. I inherited the gun but gave it to my younger brother because it was just too heavy for anything other than sitting in a blind or shooting skeet. I prefer the Winchester Model 12 16 gauge pump.

It’s the same old same old with those people. The M1 Garand helped us win WW2, then there’s the Ruger Mini14, on and on… Gretchen Carlson should stick to….well, whatEVER she does now…… Like someone once said- better to keep your mouth shut and let the world think you’re a fool, than to open it and remove all doubt.

They say the 16ga is better for fowl anyway. I inherited my Grandfather's 16ga semi, I'd have to look, either Browning or Winchester.

I want a common sense law that says blonde women with her complexion are prohibited from wearing red. Horrible!

My Dad had a 1950s Browning Sweet 16 semiauto. I never shot it. He gave it to one of my cousins. My brother and I were both pissed.

author says this
“Third, if there are 20 million, that sure sounds like a weapon in “common use” and therefore protected under the Constitution.”

I looked and couldn’t find common use in the constitution.

The only issue I have with the 16 gauge is finding shells.
I have a box of pretty much anything you would want to put in it. Over the last couple years every time I look for some they do not have 16 gauge shells.

The other issue with the Browning is that it has a goose barrel on it. So, it is even longer than a normal shotgun.

She’s conflating it with the year the AWB expired.

Actually we couldn’t because thousands of lives are not taken with AR-15s. The other problem is that if lunatics bent on mass murder did not use AR-15s, they would simply use something else. The problem is with the lunatics who decide to murder a bunch of people, not the tool they choose to do it with. There are a nearly infinite number of means they could use.
