ha they are going to try and blame conservatives no matter what, but who put the guns on the streets in criminals hands? ATF. Obviously its not tea partiers but Mexican Narco terrorists who dont want their supply from the USA cut off who did the dirty deed....yeah thats the ticket
Here's something interesting I came across. It looks like it may be from 2000, not sure and not sure if Paul Harvey actually wrote this. Interesting, none the less. (Apologies if it's been recently posted.)
OPINION: Paul Harvey on Guns
Paul Harvey's comment on Columbine High shootings:
How can we blame it all on guns?
For the life of me, I can't understand what could have gone wrong in Littleton, CO. If only the parents had kept their children away from the guns, we wouldn't have had such a tragedy. Yeah, it must have been the guns.
It couldn't have been because half our children are being raised in broken homes.
It couldn't have been because our children get to spend an average of 30 seconds in meaningful conversation with their parents each day. After all, we give our children quality time.
It couldn't have been because we treat our children as pets and our pets as children.
It couldn't have been because we place our children in day care centers where they learn their socialization skills among their peers under the law of the jungle while employees who have no vested interest in the children look on and make sure that no blood is spilled.
It couldn't have been because we allow our children to watch, on the average, seven hours of television a day filled with the glorification of sex and violence that isn't fit for adult consumption.
It couldn't have been because we allow our children to enter into virtual worlds in which, to win the game, one must kill as many opponents as possible in the most sadistic way possible.
It couldn't have been because we have sterilized and contracepted our families down to sizes so small that the children we do have are so spoiled with material things that they come to equate the receiving of the material with love.
It couldn't have been because our children, who historically have been seen as a blessing from God, are now being viewed as either a mistake created when contraception fails or inconveniences that parents try to raise in their spare time.
It couldn't have been because we give two-year prison sentences to teenagers who kill their newborns.
It couldn't have been because our school systems teach the children that they are nothing but glorified apes who have evolved out of some primordial soup of mud by teaching evolution as fact and by handing out condoms as if they were candy.
It couldn't have been because we teach our children that there are no laws of morality that transcend us, that everything is relative and that actions don't have consequences. What the heck, the president gets away with it.
Nah, it must have been the guns.

Naw, the Senate should eject some members, but we’ll have to get to you politically Shumer, and we will!
You may not be thrown out, but you’ll be the back-bencher that you are in reality!
He didn't send a letter to Kentucky Gun Co. where I bought a semiautomatic rifle yesterday - they actually had one in stock.
I had already bought a 25 round magazine for it a few weeks ago and now there are none of those. I got that at a company in West Virginia and he didn't send them a letter.
I just ordered 150 rounds of Remington hollow points for the rifle from Cabela’s and that will send in a week or two. He did send them a letter but his letter didn't cover ammo.
I have wrecked his and Hussein's gun grab, magazine grab and likely ammo grab, when it comes to me.
Those little twits are just that - illiterate when it comes to guns - they get all shook up if it's black and looks scary - man, they are really dumb. They need to have another alcohol/fruit drink with a cherry on top and an umbrella in it and leave serious stuff to people who know what they are doing. They are such wimps.
I surprised no one is mentioning the fact that Schumer proposed a boycott of Walmart until they stopped selling guns. CBS Radio played the audio at 8PM Central tonight.
Yep. I am not impressed with .223 weapons. I don’t own an automatic weapon of any kind. But mine are a bit larger in bore and can be used for more things than spraying the woods.
Bought new loading press, 3 new sets of dies, some more bullets and brass, primers, new powder scale, a new bullet mold and some other stuff. If this simply blows over, I can hunt and feed my family. If not, I am confident the State of Texas will organize the resistance here, will be glad to help.
The defiance is coming to these vermin.
But, they keep saying “semiautomatic” - they want all those gone so you can't fire a bullet every time you pull the trigger. They only want bolt action and barrel break rifles so you can only fire one bullet, then have to do something to load another bullet. I don't think they know the difference between semiautomatic and automatic, or they don't care, get the semiautomatic rifles banned then you can't turn them into automatic.
I think they will go after handguns after that to stop them from firing a bullet every time the trigger is pulled. Band any handgun like that, which is every one, I believe.
My favorite rifles are lever action rifles.
My favorite pistol is an XP100 .221 fireball single shot bolt action.
Am am proficient with all of them.
Have others.
In general I like big bore, reach out and touch you stuff.
“My favorite rifles are lever action rifles.

Hmm, that sounds like you take your time and one bullet gets the job done - isn’t that the way an assassian works? Slow and careful and one shot, then walk away. You sound lethal to me and just the kind to have next to me in a serious situation.

suspend spending Chuckie, while we work this debt ceiling out.
Yep
I think that the ATF is nervous, afraid that they are going to be broken up because of F&F and all the other mischief they have engaged in over the years.
In September of last year, they actually changed their website to “re-brand” themselves as the “Violent Crimes Bureau”, which would be a heck of a lot safer in protecting their “turf”.
They were made even more nervous in December, when Darrell Issa proposed integrating the ATF into the FBI. In practical terms, this would mean that the FBI gets their duties, and all the ATF agents get canned, because they are the “thug” branch, and very few of them could pass the FBI’s standards for things like accountancy, which is one of the FBI’s hiring discriminators. All agents are accountants.
One of the levers is an old .348 that typically shoots 350gr bullet at 2000 fps. Newer loads are a bit more aerodynamic 200gr Hornady FTX at a bit higher fps. Very high energy on impact. Effective 400 meters plus.
;)
Not yet. Set up by DC politicians passing laws. The laws themselves are enough to stop anybody from being nasty, dontcha know.
Nice...it’s pretty inclusive group...
Tomorrow, Wednesday, Hussein will tell us what his executive orders are. We’ll see how much gun grabbing he does immediacy.
