Some Wisconsin gun owners believe it's time to put more limits on guns (barf alert)
Milwaukee J-S ^ | 25 march 2018 | Craig Gilbert

PRAIRIE DU SAC - Jeff Recob is a gun owner, National Rifle Association member and small businessman who sells ammunition, gear and gun supplies to target shooters.

He also thinks it’s time for his side to give a little in the gun debate.

“As far as I’m concerned, we’d better be ready to give something up now. I’m talking about us as NRA members and the gun-owner community,” said Recob, interviewed at his family business, Recob’s Target Shop, just weeks after a Florida high school massacre set off a new round in the country’s unflagging gun debate.

“Hopefully, the NRA will act like adults and let it happen,” he said

Not ready and never will be ready to give up a G-D thing regarding the 2nd Amendment. Come and Take It and be prepared to DIE!

Wisconsin has lots of Fudds, though not as many as it used to. This guy Recob might be a two-faced Fudd, or he might be one of those people who says stupid crap whenever someone from the media shows up, just because he wants to "sound reasonable" because he has subconsciously bought into that crap as Ministry of Propaganda defines it. He'd have been well-advised to be friendly and ask what kind of firearm the reporter is thinking about purchasing... oh, not interested in purchasing a firearm? "Have a nice day, and here is an NRA brochure and some membership information."

Many businessmen will give up their own and other people's stuff/rights in an attempt to keep the firm afloat... it is a sad fact of human nature that has gone on throughout history.

I can see his businesses “bottom line” suffering in the not too distant future. Sales will/should drop based on his comments.

“Jeff Recob is a...small businessman who sells ammunition, gear and gun supplies to target shooters.”

How to shoot your business in the foot without really trying. Here’s to hoping your balance sheet bleeds red soon.

My bet is that Jeff is going to be wishing he could take that back when his customers find out.

Typical J-S “SQUIRREL!!!” crap like the D Haynes editorial of yesterday.

The 2A is NOT about hunting. So all that “I’m a hunter....” stuff is absolutely irrelevant.

But that’s a clue on how the MSM and their allies are going to pursue their agenda; they hope to flood the zone with pheasant hunters, not men who understand defense of country, family, self.

2A "gave a little " in 1934, 1938, 1939, 1968, 1986, 1993, and 1994 .

NO MORE!

Note well: that Fudd does NOT SELL GUNS. All he sells is targets, ammo, and “gear.”

Not surprising; what gun-owner would want to purchase from that twit?

Recob said he thought it was time for gun owners to make some common-sense concessions — "something that actually works" — in the firearms debate that is renewed by every mass shooting.

That is the problem, you nitwit - none of what you are proposing would 'actually work' - the Parkland shooter used 10-round magazines. And that is the modus operandi of the gun grabbers - propose incremental changes that do nothing to move us closer to their gun confiscation nirvana.

You want something that works? Arrest someone for terroristic threats, or for disturbing the peace. Maintain proper discipline at schools. None of that done was done to Cruz. THAT would have worked, and is already the law. The law was disregarded in the name of sloth or political expedience.

“I can get myself in trouble with my customers but that’s OK,” he said.”

He admits as much. We should make sure his costumers are aware.

These “gun owners” are kind of like the liberal, commieass “democrats” who are always telling their “media” toads that they are “republicans” who “voted for Bush twice”, “served in Iraq in the military and drive a “Honda Prius”. IOW, lying ‘RAT bull**** artists.

Polls are not for gathering opinion so much as the are for manipulating opinion. I continue to be amazed at how fast “we” all came to our senses about gay marriage.

Fudds are always ready to sell their liberty cheap, because “what hunter needs a military weapon?”

I have a neighbor who is an avid hunter who has shotguns and rifles. He thinks we should ban “assault” rifles, since no one really needs them.

To which I replied that the second amendment preserved our right to keep and bear arms, specifically mentions the militia and does not mention hunting, so he should have to give up his hunting weapons, and I should be permitted to keep my militia-style weapons. Shut him right up.

Well, if I have to agree with Ol’ Jeff there, I suggest he close his business as his contribution, and quit being a hoe.
