“NEVER let regulations be enacted by anything other than a duly elected body, because committees WILL overstep their bounds. Every. Single. Time.”

Amen, tyranny often starts at the lower levels with bureaucrats enacting laws that infringe on our freedmen.

A classic example is how our DOJ/FBI/CIA/IRS/ATF has seized power and rules over us as bureaucrats not as elected people during Bush2 and Obama.

I had that exact Tommygun when I was a kid. The Mattel Tommy Burst.

Also, I had another Tommygun that was black with a drum magazine, don’t remember who made it... Remco, maybe??? Orange tip. The drum was the sound chamber.

Here’s a picture of it:

So are they okay with a Ruger mini? It does not look like a scary gun.

Next they’ll be banning oil slicks that look like the Virgin (until Jesus’s birth) Mary.

Are we to arrest people just because they resemble the perpetrator?

But, that would be...profiling?

just read the same at Washington EXAMINER.

They are taking a poll. You can leave the page with all suggestions for gun control laws blank and it will accept it. You do have to leave an email address and your name.

You’ve got to think the way they think. The Stalinist overlords definitely know how to do psy-ops to get their sheep to be afraid of any (cool) scary gun if they are told it is scary. The overlords know the value of arms and will have their own army armed with those same scary looking guns even if they are water guns and know the sheep will run scared because they are un-armed.
