Gun shop owner talks AR-15 NY Daily News BY Seth Moulton SPECIAL TO THE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Tuesday, June 14, 2016, 8:26 PM

I’m a Marine. I carried guns every day in Iraq, guns very similar to the ones used to perpetrate the Orlando murders and many other mass shootings in America. I’ve used guns in combat. On more than one occasion, guns have saved my life.

Moulton also says assault weapons have no place on our streets. My response: http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2016/06/obama_democrats_perpetuate_assault_weapon_falsehoods.html

Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.), meanwhile, subordinated his past honorable service as a Marine officer to party politics with the following statement. "I carried guns every day in Iraq, guns very similar to the ones used to perpetrate the Orlando murders and many other mass shootings in America." As shown above, it is absolutely illegal for a private citizen to acquire fully automatic firearms like the ones Moulton carried in Iraq without a background check and a federal permit.

Reid's and Moulton's deliberate obfuscation of semiautomatic rifles and assault rifles is entirely consistent with the Violence Policy Center's openly stated agenda to deceive the American public, and with 501(c)(3) tax-exempt money in the bargain.

Then I guess it’s a good thing they don’t. They have rifles that look like assault weapons and cost a lot of money, but they don’t have assault weapons.

Completely agree, Winged Hussar.
I have lost count of the number television media stories about guns that lead with footage showing a crew-served, belt-fed, heavy machine-gun.

99.9 % of US gun owners never killed anyone yesterday

>>Moulton also says assault weapons have no place on our streets.

The only assault weapons I ever see in the streets are in the hands of cops. Demilitarize the police!

My AR15 is just another semi-auto rifle.

The NY Daily News has become a daily hate screed, like nothing I’ve ever seen in print before.

True fascistic hate screeds, hating Christians, gun owners, Republicans, etc.

The Second Amendment was written with oathbreakers like Moulton in mind.

Uh, Seth? The only “reason” I need for owning an AR is that I want one. Your opinion is noted. It’s worthless.

Any implement is an "assault weapon" if you use it to commit an assault.

Therefore any gun can be an "assault weapon."

Therefore once you ban one gun, it's just a matter of time before you ban them all.

Alan West pilloried Moulton and Reid today quite ferociously.

Dems think his views on gun control are immune to criticism or disagreement because he served.

No, it don’t work that way.

Wow.

They’re just going to dump our Constitution and not even going to pretend otherwise.

I would venture to say that none of us, really, are civilians at this point. Seems that we are living on the front lines now.
