The author probably couldn't have come up with a better contrast than the despicable Tom Mauser.
BTW, my permit is number 1870-something.
A Calling to Arm: More and more people creating a culture of guns, self-defense and the military mentality
My street has a lot of business owners and they all have guns. You throw in the likely wiseguys, there’s a bunch more guns.
In 20 years, there’s never been ONE gunshot in the neighborhood.
That’s all I need to know about how safe guns are.
“Now the county has issued 17,800.”
According to the lib-left meme...everyone in Weld county should be dead now.
Heck, there should actually be white caps on the waves of blood that should now be flowing in the streets...
Wasn’t it an amazing coincidence that Mauser’s son brought up the loopholes in the Brady bill just before he was killed at Columbine? I find it strange that he doesn’t mention what loopholes he was talking about.
“almost as many as the county issued in those first 19 years”
19 years? Of her tenure in her job? In the existence of the county? I’d think her tenure is much less than 19 and the county’s existence has been far longer. Typo? 9? 190?
“Mauser said. “I didn’t really get engaged in the conversation. But then (Daniel) was killed by a gun that was purchased through a loophole in the Brady Bill.” “
No, your son was not killed by a gun. He was killed by evil that had taken over the killer’s mind. What are you doing to combat evil?
Guns... YAY! BANG ON YOU, LEFTIES...
“Mauser became an outspoken advocate for gun control”
Schism in the old German family?
This is the biggest piece of profligate crap I think I've heard in quite a while.
A loophole in the Brady Bill? The entire bill is an abridgement to the Second Amendment; it is a LOOPHOLE against the Second Amendment.
And Mr. Mauser, your son died at the hands of two sociopaths who were badly raised, by parents who were gun control advocates. I know he will never read it, but it needs to be said to keep the record clear.
Take Vermont. Best gun laws in the country (ie, practically none), second lowest murder rate among the 50 states in 2014.
Not “a culture of guns” as much as a culture of freedom. People are often brainwashed into viewing the Second Amendment as just the gun rights amendment when in reality it is the freedom amendment. The amendment that defends all the others. The amendment should be clarified as it is often misrepresented by the left. A well regulated [ well armed / self regulated / well working ] milita [ citizen defense force ] being necessary to the security of a FREE state, the right of the people [ citizens ] to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Which means that it is prohibited under the Constitution to infringe upon this unalienable right.
Yeah, how’d sanders get elected?
I believe until the elections he was a rather decent supporter of gun rights.
Scott Adams (Dilbert) summarizes it as:
Pretty much the same as carrying a weapon legally. What is the purpose? “To shoot people,” obviously. Really? All those millions of legally owned weapons - and a few thousand shootings annually - most all of them with illegally possessed weapons.
In both cases the actual purpose is to intimidate people from trying something they have no business doing.
Even when he’s off duty, Turner admits he still carries a handgun.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It’s a job requirement where my son is a policeman.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Another subject, to be sure, Vermont does have very few gun laws but is so “progressive” They allow felons to vote from their jail cells. (Maine too)
I sincerely hope that more and more people are realizing that this happens at birth and does not, in the slightest degree, require paying an agent of the state for a piece of paper.
“Best gun laws in the country (ie, practically none), second lowest murder rate among the 50 states in 2014.”
I don’t think Vermont taken as a whole is as ‘vibrant’ as say Detroit or Chicago.
