The anti-gunners have their minds made up. Please don't confuse them with facts.

"This wild claim is supposedly based on two isolated cases of foreign terrorists who were arrested for buying guns to be shipped to their associates overseas."

To hear the anti's, you'd have have the gun shows were filled with hundreds or thousands of Middle Eastern fanatics buying .50 BMG's, bazooka's and Harpoon missles.

Why would a terrorist buy weapons at a U.S. gun show when he can buy weapons in Pakistan for a hell of a lot cheaper. Example: AK47 in U.S. around $700, and it is only semi-auto and comes with a 10 round single stack mag. AK47 in Pakistan.$75, full auto, 30 round mag. Now you do the math!

I don't want a turban. I want an arsenal.

Preferably something that shoots right through baby carriages.

Concealable.

That I purchased at a gun show.

From a felon.

Well, logically, shouldn't liberals be in FAVOR of gun shows?
I mean, is it not better that someone buys a used gun than a new one? That should be one less gun on "the streets".
(No flame - I'm being sarcastic).

"wretched hives of scum and villainy" If he is going to quote old Obi Wan he should at least give a nod to him.

The means do not justify the end of disarming the populace. THose legslitors against gun ownership are traitors pure and simple, just like California Taleban Walker.

TIME FOR A RIGHT WING BURQUA REVOLUTION. END TO PC, END TO POLITICAL BURQUA.

With the aid of a few attention-seeking senators, including John McCain, they are renewing their attack on gun shows, which their propaganda wizards once labeled: “Tupperware parties for criminals.”

This slut deserves to be run out of office on a rail. He would sell his female relatives to Islamic white slavers to get into the presidency.
