WH: Americans Should Talk About Gun Control 'Around the Thanksgiving Table

Instead of voting to "encumber and bog down the refugee process," Republicans should go along with a Democrat demand to bar people on a secret government list from buying guns, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said on Monday.

Earnest said the Republican plan to beef up the vetting of refugees will not improve national security: "Again, if Congress were actually interested in doing that, they'd pass a law that would prevent somebody who's on the terror watch list from being able to buy a gun. That's what Congress should do.

"And as people are sitting around the Thanksgiving table, talking about these issues, as they should, and as I'm sure they will all across the country, I hope that's a question that will be raised, and asked by members around the table--that if we're going to have a serious discussion in this country about national security, let's talk about some pretty obvious things that Congress can do

We will be talking about gun control and the need for less of it.

The White House was thinking about all the prisoners in Stalin's gulags had to be thankful. Then they realized the 2nd Amendment was in their way here in America and it took all the thanksgiving out of their holiday. Such a pity for Barry and Moochie.

My family will certainly talk about it. There won’t be one statement said on its behalf. It will be mostly like the comments regarding Obama.

DISCLOSURE: I copied and saved this (except the final paragraph) from another discussion, probably here on FR, but I forgot to note the author, so I can’t properly credit it. If this is YOUR research please speak up!

[Kommodor]

A rather interesting historical note there.

[Red in Blue PA]

Americans should be talking about HANGING TRAITORS.

[SaraJohnson]

I can see all the lefties harassing relatives now.

We should talk about something most of us agree on. Our president is a dang kook.

[rktman]

Can you say “carving knife”? Oh noze. Carving knife violence.

[SaraJohnson]

Don’t you be invading my safe space with your carving knives! : )

[rktman]

LOL! No worries. Carve away. At least you have a “safe space”.

[Big Red Badger]

Happy Thanksgiving!

Full Metal Jacket!

[jetson]

What should be discussed is the fact that electing a Kenyan socialist traitor is NOT good for our freedom in the US.

[Yosemitest]

Sure.
Let's talk gun control, while in a context commemorating the well-being of a group which undoubtedly had guns within reach of their seats at a feast.
Let's talk restoring & updating gun control as the Founding Fathers intended:

Militia Act of 1792 2016:

...

I. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled,

That each and every free able-bodied white male citizen of the respective States, resident therein,
who is or shall be of age of eighteen years, and under the age of forty-five years
(except as is herein after excepted; lack of compulsion shall not be grounds for expulsion nor prohibition)
shall severally and respectively be enrolled in the militia, by the Captain or Commanding Officer of the company,
within whose bounds such citizen shall reside,
and that within twelve months after the passing of this Act.
And it shall at all time hereafter be the duty of every such Captain or Commanding Officer of a company,
to enroll every such citizen as aforesaid,
and also those who shall, from time to time, arrive at the age of 18 years, or being at the age of 18 years,
and under the age of 45 years (except as before excepted)
shall come to reside within his bounds;
and shall without delay notify such citizen of the said enrollment, by the proper non-commissioned Officer of the company, by whom such notice may be proved.
That every citizen, so enrolled and notified, shall, within six months thereafter,

and that from and after five years from the passing of this Act,

and every citizen so enrolled, and providing himself with the arms, ammunition and accoutrements, required as aforesaid,

Well, how about

ALL law United States Citizens of LEGAL AGE (21 or older) who do NOT have a criminal record, MUST, I REPEAT, MUST carry a CONCEALED and LOADED firearm at ALL times.
If they are caught without a LOADED firearm on their person, they will be fined $100.00 for each offense.
IF they see a criminal act in progress, and they think they have an opportunity to disable the criminal, the MUST take action to stop the criminal.
DEADLY FORCE IS AUTHORIZED !

Now that's one "Gun Control Law" that WILL work !

One more Home Defense Law that might help:

All Terrorists killed in a terrorist attack, will be buried in a swine blood-filled coffin, NO EXCEPTIONS !
All Terrorists captured and found guilty of a terrorist attack, will be buried in a swine blood-filled coffin, NO EXCEPTIONS !
