They obviously do not care about crime. They condone it across the board.
The reason they want our guns, is because they plan on doing something to us that would cause people to shoot them.
He writes this entire screed without pointing out anti-gun Republicans, like John Cornyn have done more real damage to the second amendment than any democrat. Briben’s latest gun rules are strictly from Cornyn, and the Republican rinos capitulation. But then again, knee jerk legislation is the best legislation.
And that is the honest to God truth. They know what they have planned would caused the worst armed overthrow ever. The greatest fear Democrats have is White and Black Militias uniting. They know they would be in serious trouble.
They don’t mind your death.
Well, they clearly fear us.
That Trump meme is spot on.
Message recived. BLOAT.
I really don't want to agree with that statement, but it appears you are correct. What a sad day it is when that is actually shown to be true. If they REALLY wanted to stop horrific misuse of guns, they would start with a MAJOR crackdown in Chicago (crickets). Next, they would work on East LA (crickets). Then, they might do something about the rampant crime in WASHINGTON, DC of all places (crickets). So, the emphasis on flyover country gunowners being the problem leads more credence to your statement above.
Well duh
They’re replacing us
We the People need guns as long as there are politicians.
We the People need guns as long as there are politicians.
We the People need guns as long as there are politicians.
The author has it wrong.
Leftists don’t hate guns. They *love* guns. Totalitarian, collectivist regimes around the world killed somewhere between 100 and 200 million in the 20th Century alone (and that isn’t even counting the wars!!).
“They don’t hate guns, they hate you” is the correct verbiage.
*shovels and machetes are OK too, if guns are not available in sufficient quantities to get the job done
All liberal democrats are PRO gun...as long as they are used by the government against the citizens.
If we ever give up our 2nd amendment then we will be at their mercy... And they have little to none.
They have been after your guns since 1962. I remember back that far.
The lies we have been told over the years...
1962 We ONLY want to register handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
1964, We ONLY want to register ALL firearms, not ban them.
1968 We ONLY want to register all guns, and ban the import of foreign Saturday Night Specials, and 5-shot bolt action army surplus rifles! (they got the ban).
1970, We ONLY want to ban small American handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
1976 We ONLY want to ban ALL handguns! Rifles will not be affected!
1981, Actress Lee Grant on Good Morning America (ABC) screams...”THE NRA IS A RIFLE ORGANIZATION! THEY SHOULD GIVE UP THEIR HANDGUNS AND THEY CAN KEEP THEIR RIFLES!”
1984, they came for the rifles.
1989 George Bus sr. bans import of “assault rifles”
1994 Clinton “bans” Assault rifles for ten years.
2004 calls for a ban on single shot .50 cal rifles
2023 Biden: “We are going to ban assault rifles!”
1988,Josh Sugarmann, of the National Council to Ban Handguns tells how to ban rifles.
“Assault weapons’ menacing looks, coupled with the public’s confusion over
fully-automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons
—anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine
gun— can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on
these weapons.”
– Josh Sugarmann
From 1976.
Nelson T. ‘Pete’ Shields
Founder of Handgun Control, Inc.(Now the Brady Center)
“I’m convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We’re going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily — given the political realities — going to be very modest.
Of course, it’s true that politicians will then go home and say, ‘This is a great law. The problem is solved.’ And it’s also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time.
So then we’ll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we’d be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal — total control of handguns in the United States — is going to take time.
My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition — except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors — TOTALLY ILLEGAL.”
-Pete Shields, Chairman and founder, Handgun Control Inc., “A Reporter At Large: Handguns,” The New Yorker, July 26, 1976, 57-58
“Yes, I’m for an outright ban [on handguns].”(Now rifles added)
-Pete Shields, Chairman emeritus, Handgun Control, Inc., 60 Minutes interview
HCI, around 1984, suddenly made a grab for the semi-auto rifles and shotguns, and missed But they showed their hand. As a result all gun owners know we are always up against a stacked deck.
Gun owners now know that any time we negotiate with those who want to ban guns, we are up against a stacked deck.
If the people trying to do away with the Constitution & particularly the 2nd Amendment are worried about the citizenry trying to rise up & shoot them.....well maybe they SHOULD be. I won’t say the citizenry hates them, but it could turn into that if these folks don’t back off.
