Atlanta Paper Epitomizes Gun Grabbers’ In 2 Sentences Back-to-Back (Georgia dem gun grab)
Breitbart ^ | January 24, 2016 | Awr Hawkins

Posted on 01/24/2016 2:10:35 PM PST by Perseverando

On January 16, the Atlanta Progressive News (APN) used one sentence to explain a Democrat-proposed ban that will require owners to hand over "assault weapons" by the end of October 2016 and in the very next sentence mocked pro-gun citizens who "are already yelling that Democrats are trying to take their guns away.”

In other words-Sentence 1: New Democrat-proposed bill means your "assault weapons" will be taken away. Sentence 2: Pro-gun people are already trying to malign the law by claiming Democrats want to "take their guns."

Here are APN's exact words:

This bill will require people who possess assault weapons to render the weapon inoperable or turn it into the Georgia Bureau of Investigation by the end of October 2016. Pro-gun folks are already yelling that Democrats are trying to take their guns away.

On Janaury 13 Breitbart News reported that the text of the proposed "assault weapons" ban-put forth by Mary Margaret Oliver (D-83rd) and other Democrats-actually "[designates] certain weaponry and ammunition as contraband and [requires] seizure of such by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation." So the "assault weapons" ban is actually an "assault weapons" confiscation bill.

It's not just Georgia. They want them in the rest of America, as well.

What is it about 'rats. They love totalitarian dictators, police states and gun control?

LOL, maybe but the south has plenty of indigenous liberals. No need to point fingers at the imports when the locals are doing such a great job.

The tards around me were fiercely protective of the guns but when it came time to vote they just couldnt help themselves from pulling the lever on the ‘D’ column. Having a rational conversation with any of them was impossible. They just couldnt grasp the fact that the dem party was set on disarming them.

Would Mary Margaret Oliver please show us what she considers an "assault weapon"? Isn't there already a law against owning such?

Besides.....

After living in Georgia for a while, I’d actually like to see them try to do this.

I live just 20 miles from Atlanta, and I’ve never hear of the “Atlanta Progressive News”...probably an underground rag.

News flash for Freepers who do not live in GA, we have a near GOP super majority in both state houses. This is a nothing burger. :-)

It’ll never happen. Well it may once they over-flood GA with illegals and “refugees” as they have been for the last 20 years.

Every state has Progressives to some degree. Particularly in the urban areas where they elect Progressives.

This article is amusing because it reveals the inherently contradictory gun control positions that Progressives and gun control advocates hold. It’s something of a threat in deep blue states, but in Georgia it’s just worthy of scorn and mockery.

Three things seem to drive progressivism:

Higher population density

and

The amount of government distributed money (be it directly as 'benefits' or as employment/contracts).

and

The presence of a College or University

NO!!!

The Main Reason for the 2nd Amendment was to Enforce the Right to Defend ourselves form Evil like You...

“On January 16, the Atlanta Progressive News (APN) used one sentence to explain a Democrat-proposed ban that will require owners to hand over “assault weapons” by the end of October 2016 and in the very next sentence mocked pro-gun citizens who “are already yelling that Democrats are trying to take their guns away.””

The Enemy is within and until we deal with that Enemy we will Never be able to Deal with the Enemy’s outside the Nation.

“So the “assault weapons” ban is actually an “assault weapons” confiscation bill.”

They’re like Galactus.

They’ve left their home states as smoldering husks and now need new territory to feed on while boring us with their speechifying.

I’ll see your Austin and raise you one Chicago, where the liberal politics of the largest/capital city dominate the rest of a mostly conservative state.

Then there’s Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Des Moines, Minneapolis, etc.
