Former congresswoman Gabby Giffords's gun control group released a report on Wednesday warning of the dangers of muzzle loading rifles, a number of other firearms, and some firearms accessories and calling for new gun control measures targeting the devices.

I'd like to hear them argue that this is constitutional because the Founding Fathers never anticipated muzzle loading rifle. America's enemies on the Left don't care how blatant their lies are, as long as the lies support the narrative.

She takes her marching orders from the globalists in New York City. It will be easier for the elites to crush Western civilization if we’re disarmed.

Wait, what? I thought black powder muzzle loaders is what the Framers meant when they wrote the Second Amendment?

1933: “We don’t want pistols and rifles, just automatic weapons.”

1964: “We don’t want to ban any guns, we just want you to fill out this little piece of paper. It will never be checked anyways!”

1970’s: “We don’t want to ban any rifles, we just want to ban pistols.”

1980: “We don’t want to ban all pistols, just the cheap ones.”

1993: “Sorry about what we said in 1964, we’ll be checking the little piece of paper after all.”

1994: “Sorry about what we said in the 1970’s, we will be banning certain rifles after all. But you can still have semiautomatics in general.”

2000’s: “Sorry about what we said in 1994 and 1980. We really do want to ban all semiautos and pistols. But don’t worry, we’ll never want to confiscate, and you can always have a muzzle loader.”

2017: “Sorry about what we said in the 2000’s, we do want to confiscate, and you cannot have a muzzle loader.”

I feel sorry for Gabby Giffords. She lost part of her mind.

There are no such things as “reasonable gun control laws” with these whackos. When they say they want “reasonable laws,” they mean they want to ban ALL guns from law-abiding people.

I hate to tell the ditzy woman that “larger than .50 caliber” rifles were used in The Civil War, and The War of 1812, The American Revolution, and The French and Indian War, and also King Phillip’s War.

They were THE NORM!! Ditzy woman (she ain’t no Congress-nothing no mo’) at the pushing of her bald traitorous husband, wants your grandad’s antique rifle ‘cause it goes BANG!

Gabby Giffords's gun control

In what way is it hers? Is she the Executive director. Does she work there on a daily basis?

From American Revolution

On June 19, Gage renewed his demand that the Bostonians surrender their arms (muzzle loaders), and he declared that anyone found in possession of arms (muzzle loaders) would be deemed guilty of treason.

I know who is guilty of treason -- gun grabbers.

Big surprise, eh? The gun grabbers have tried for decades to say the founders intended that the 2nd only applied to muzzleloading Black Powder Weapons and here we have the unhinged(she was unhinged before the shooting) Gifford setting up and assault on muzzleloading Black Powder Weapons!

The only regulation of Citizen owned firearms the left will ever be happy with is one that takes all firearms out of the Citizen's hands. Because an armed populace is too dangerous............to the socialists who want to take over and destroy our Republic.

Doesn't say something that Gabby and her husband enjoy owning guns and playing with automatic weapons have such a great desire to disarm others? I say take it the streets of St. Louis and Chicago and preach your crap, see how it's welcomed there.

This is about a muzzleloader with a built-in suppressor, although I’m pretty sure any other muzzleloader, be it a musket, rifle, single-shot pistol or revolver, also scare her.

From her report:

“Cue the .50 caliber muzzleloader, which delivers a particularly lethal .50 caliber round. This weapon is designed with a built-in device to suppress its sound. If any other firearm were built with such a device, it would be subject to the NFA as a silencer. But since this device is designed to suppress the sound of something that is exempt from federal firearms laws, it is not considered a silencer and not subject to the NFA. In fact, it is not subject to any laws at all and can be bought online.”

It’s fun reading about all the other scary things in the report, too.
