When one side talks and the other can’t, it’s called a “lecture”.

Question #1:

How many illegal aliens found with firearms have you deported this year?

Question #2:

How many felons found with firearms have you convicted and imprisoned for violating federal firearms laws this year?

“If we must not blame all Mooslims for the actions of Omar Mateen, why is it OK to blame all gun owners for the actions of Omar Mateen?”


Best question ever!

The Leftists are salivating. All they need is one more Islamist massacre on US soil and they can roll over the weakling GOP Congress and pass their AWB and national registration “terrorist” list.

Obama/Valerie Jarrett/CoC keeping the borders wide open with the assistance of Paul Ryan and his band invertebrates. That’s the ticket to the end of the 2A and American freedom. Almost there, folks. Almost there.

Isn’t that phrase so commie? Public engagement. Office of public engagement. Sorry off topic. Just like they call it ‘homeland’ security. Always disliked that ‘homeland’ description.

Thanks for the link. While I was there I saw something else that I found fitting and hilarious:

Once they are honest about the difference between semi-auto and full auto rifles and the real definition of assult weapons, maybe we can talk.

BTW, the killer, Cho, in our heretofore worst mass shooting, Virginia Tech, killed 33 and wounded 23 with TWO handguns, no so-called assault weapons, no 30+ round magazines. One of the guns was a .22lr pistol! no AR15’s.

So, he wants to negotiate your gun rights. OK, IF I give up my 30 round magazines and pistol grips, WHAT will HE give up to me? NOTHING, because the anti -gunners have NOTHING to give.

Always remember, YOU have the guns they want you to give up. They have NOTHING but threats and hot air.

This ban is going to apply to ALL government entities, right?

Since there likely more illegal guns crossing the southern border than are sold in the US, when are they going to address that?

Since a gun ban in Paris didn’t stop those attacks, what makes you think an assault weapon ban will stop them here?

Where is the phrase “for hunting purposes” located in the US Constitution?

Where is the word “need” located in the wording of the 2nd Amendment?

Has a ban worked for illegal drugs? How abut illegal aliens? How about marijuana?

If they stop selling ammo, you heartlanders and southerners have enough ammo to fight off the equivalent of the SS when they come? I hope so.

If it comes to that, I’ll leave NYC and head down there and ask one of you where to go and what to do.

I’m not gonna fight and die in NYC. That’s a waste of manpower.

Same thought two thousand years apart.

I do have a pristine 1903 Springfield bolt-action rifle manufactured in 1934 that I bought without filling out any paperwork for. Do you think they would be interested in talking with me?

They will screen the questions for answers they already have prepared. They will never answer the question: “If it is okay to deny a person their second amendment rights without due process, what other rights can be denied without due process.
