Hopefully this liberal rag will get an editorial change after it review by the new owners....
The author could have spared a whole lot of ink by just writing,"I don't know squat about guns or gun shows and I am terrified of them. I want to stampede the panicky and uninformed into agreeing with me,"
I've worked gun shows where there are lots of undercover Feds and uniformed police walking around and where most of the DEALERS AND ATTENDEES would drop a dime on you in a hot second if they thought you were selling weapons unlicensed. Nobody wants someone screwing it up for everybody else by making the leftist nitwits right.
What a bunch of crap.
Exactly
I wasn't aware that the SKS was a sniper rifle. I also like the part about the kid who shot someone had some friends that went to a gun show. Criminals steal guns from houses and cars during burglaries. The other three kids that got shot because they were trying to rob a drug dealer? This guy is retarded. Why don't we start outlawing lighters to prevent arson. It makes about as much sense.
The problem is in enforcement & always were, & never were registration.
For some reason they never mention the "girlfriend"/marriage loophole, the homo-boyfriend/marriage loophole, or the liberal corruption & traitors "I have a law practice & I love Bill Clinton" loophole. Yep, I have seen married felons and other unprosecuted felons given the guns by judges.
A loophole is a law applied in courts, not an activity done at a show or privately in "competing harms".
Because once you have registration in place, only those going through the registration loophole will get the guns, & we all know who those hypocrite bureaucrats are.
And as far as felonies go, they can slap a felony on anyone they want to for any kind of petty offense, and remove a felony on any hard criminal or terrorist for any excuse. This is another selective gun restriction loophole, because the true loophole's not in the gunshows, but at the courthouse.
It's an effective dictatorship when the dictator does not have to make the hits himself, but instead relies on a confederacy of hitmen who get to be allowed to be corrupt in exchange.
This whole charade is a loophole on the second amendment in the first place, as it is a vote for the firm & irreversible "job security" of the establishment.
The checks and balances apply on the state which is supposed to support the American revolution & not oppose it.
The dreaded "gun show loophole". How about the dreaded criminal mind, who, just like the computer hacker has a mind full of ways around laws meant to protect the public. Instead of focusing on legal gun shows and legal law abiding citizens, gun shows are the culprit, cause you haven't got any criminal names to make an article about so you can get paid and eat. Such is the state of journalism.
Another poster in another thread once said that it was like 'trying to control drunk driving by making it harder for teetotalers to get cars', or words to that effect.
Typical of gun haters, these two sentences have nothing to do with each other.
1. Sure, the Hezbolla dude went to Michigan to buy a gun to smuggle into Lebanon.
2. If the undercover agent didn't do anything about the gun buy, was it illegal?
3. The whole article keeps saying "unlicensed seller" when the correct term is "private seller." And that statement the everybody who sells guns needs a federal license is totally false,
"....SKS sniper rifles. Armor-piercing bullets..."
Oh Judy, you ignorant slut.
Putting a scope on an SKS doesn't make it a 'sniper rifle'. Wait.. let me guess Judy, it was tricked out with a new 'scary looking' stock and maybe a bi-pod.
And Judy, any rifle larger than a .22 will pierce armor, body armor that is. So is that what you mean by 'Armor Piercing'?
Lastly JUDY, it's a M-A-G-A-Z-I-N-E, NOT a "clip".
I swear, it must be a union rule that every article about firearms be written by by some ditz reproterette. Sheesh, Judy, go back to fashion and cooking articles. Maybe you know a little about those topics.
Ps: Judy, "Machine Guns" are legal (subject to local laws), get over it.
Come to Tulsa {Wannamacher's gun show, the BIG one} next weekend and meet some of the feds finest. Their table will be easy to find .
They will be the only ones there NOT having a good time.
"It’s just another weekend at a Kansas City gun show, where there is so much firepower at your fingertips that even some gun enthusiasts shake their heads in wonder.
What a bunch of crap."
Yes, I agree with what you said about these things the anti-gun people said. When this NRA Life Member goes to a gun show and sees what they said about it being a large show I am smiling and saying myself that I'm going to have a good time today. All those ANTI's what is to become the enemy within and I will not let them in and I don't think you will either.
Money & fiat governance Laundering 101
It's not who votes but who counts the votes (the media, nowadays)
It's not who sees but who shows a show & records the sights (again the media)
It's not who is a criminal or a government agent, but who decides in a courthouse who is a criminal and who can become the government agent.
It's not what is a loophole but what lawyers & other McCain deem or choose to be a loophole on checks & balance.
It's not the truth but who decides what the law is and which law should be more protected than the other.
It's already illegal to transfer firearms to felons & illegals, but, guess what, it's ok to have illegals around.
Thus it is criminals & the illegals abeters and not the gun shows, but again, it's whoever decides amnesty and counts the criminals, and not who is a criminal that gets to loophole & tweak all this.
As Jesus said: it would be easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for the rich & the established to go to heaven by wishing for justice on themselves as on the rest of us. Communists win amongst the wealthy (and not necessarily the capitalists) because they are a force of establishment revolution & submission submission to such and not of legitimate rebellion
It's anti-freedom articles like this that make me dream more and more that a better, freer United States, is a United States without a press.
Lions, Tigers and Bears, Oh My !
What a wuss. I'm looking forward to the gunshow next weekend.
Liar!
Yes, they are going after the law abider who may mistakenly sell a gun in the wrong hands to a deceiving felon, but these laws do not go after the deceiving felons.
How convenient, since lawyers & bureaucrates count many felons amongst themselves who deceive successfuly all of the time. I mean, having the jobs they have with the kind of low IQ they boast is criminal.
As Lenin or Stalin said, it's who counts the votes, not who votes. It's who counts the unacceptable deaths, not who does them.
When the recounts occured in Florida or Washington State, it is the press which counted the votes or helped Democrates count the votes.
Give a freeper 15 days of world media control & we have peace on Earth, it's a fact, but they won't allow peace & will foment hate & destruction so long they don't have the power.
