Anti-Gunners Call For Gun Control Laws Following Poway Synagogue Shooting But This Is What They're Getting Wrong
Every time some sort of mass shooting occurs, anti-gunners rush to call for stricter gun control laws. The San Diego County Sheriff's Department and the FBI are still investigating the shooting that took place earlier today at the Chabad of Poway Synagogue, just outside of San Diego. We don't even know all of the facts yet, but from what we do know, gun control laws anti-gunners want to push are either already on the books or would have made no difference.

Surely these new laws would have prevented this and all of the other shootings. No?
Then STFU!
Yup. Along with the anti-wall assclowns. If you’re stuff ain’t unlocked and available to anyone at anytime, STFU.
SQUAWK - GUNS IS BAD!
Odd they’re not pointing out the blatant anti-Semitic hate speech though. (nah, not odd at all...)
The sad truth is that most of the “gun control activists” are too ignorant or too filled with unreasoning hate or too lustful for political power to figure out that inanimate objects are never to blame for crime. - I have any number of rifles/shotguns/handguns & not even one of them, in over 50 years, has ever escaped from my gun-safe, run out into the street & fired itself.
(Only an idiot would expect a firearm to shoot itself.)
Also, many of the “activists” want to deny that a certain percentage of people are greedy, jealous, filled with anger against others or were just born evil.
(The Apostle Paul said in THE GOOD BOOK that, “There are some among us who were devils from the first.”)
I suggest to every gunowner that when they encounter “anti-gun nuts” spouting off with their brainless rants, that you NOT try to reason with the ranting person. - I suggest instead to use OPEN RIDICULE as the BEST weapon against SUPIDITY & DISHONESTY.
(The ONE thing that NO fanatic/liar cannot stand is to be laughed AT.)

Liberals have normalized violence in the name of “resistance”. They are “triggered” by their opponents for merely expressing their political beliefs. Then when they commit acts of violence because they have been whipped into a frenzy by their masters they commit heinous acts of murder in houses of worship. The masters then use the violence committed by their pawns to further their goal of denying political opponents of freedoms enjoyed since the foundation of the Republic.
The battle for the soul of America is raging. Join the fight or suffer the consequences.
If the anti-gunners don’t like guns, then they shouldn’t own one nor should they have armed security. For those of us who can’t afford armed security around us, we have the God given right to arm ourselves. Any laws that are contrary to our Constitution are wholly invalid and it is our duty as Americans to resist them!
I am calling for help for the mentally ill. This is a national disgrace.
[[gun control laws anti-gunners want to push are either already on the books or would have made no difference. ]]
We NEED a judge with common sense to step in and state “We will not violate our constitution to enact more gun laws that take guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens everytime a mass shooting takes place when the gun laws we already have on the books would have had absolutely zero effect in preventing said crime- You can not punish law abiding citizens, by removing or severely hindering their inalienable right to self protection simply because evil people ignore gun laws already on the books and murder innocent people.
Mentally Sick and Evil People people are the problem, not guns or gun laws- Our constitution is there to confirm our inalienable right to self protection, and knee jerk reactions to mass shootings which seek to further deny law abiding citizens the right to said self protection are unconstitutional and will not stand!”
“P.S. Although mass shootings are Headline grabbing, and noone likes to see them happen- These types of crimes are very very rare, and do not even compare to the number of times people have had to use guns to protect their lives. We also know that if it were not for the inalienable right to own guns, mass shootings in certain cases would have been much much worse.
Thankfully we had brave law abiding citizens rush into danger, and stop these cowardly murders of innocents by using deadly force against these murderers- and that is how it should be- Murders should be very mindful of the fact that there are good guys with guns who will stop them in their tracks when they, the murdering scum, decide to commit these horrible acts against society. Bad guys beware- Your intended victims are still allowed by law to shoot back in self defense!”
Shocked! Not.
Eric “Duke nuke ‘em” Swallowswell, Kamelhoe Harris, Krazy Bernie, AOC, etc. , all the usual America hating idiots are chiming in. I don’t think most freedom loving people really care what any of these communists want. The fact is that if a small number of people there had been packing, this would have ended better. Always carry. Everywhere.
They their complaints stored in a document folder and just change the date and location when they need to pull it out.
We don’t have many people who own guns in California anyway...So what’s their problem?
This shooting is disappearing from the news media as fast as rats in a cathouse since the killer’s manifesto was published.
Anti-Gunners want the crazy to invest in pressure cookers?.
Good thing it’s illegal to buy gas and empty bottles and rags. ‘Ths idiot could have used ccoktails to do a lot more damage and deaths.
Indeed the anti gunners are clueless and have no idea more people die per year by a doctor then a gun.
special thanks to rtkman for posting Beth Baumann’s piece on the Left’s latest politicization of mass-murder attempts.
Baumann - an associate editor for townhall.com - deserves credit too, for publishing actual facts about the on-ground situation, and about firearms in general. But of necessity she left much out, and erred on salient details.
ArmaLite did not make AR-15s back in the day. It was an engineering development firm and had no production facilities until years later.
Eugene M Stoner is widely honored as the “father of the AR-15” but left the ArmaLite company and played no direct part in its development. A WW2 USMC combat veteran, he did not favor small-caliber military rifles; his team designed the AR-10, chambered in 7.62mm NATO. The rifle that became the M-16 family of arms is in many ways a miniaturized AR-10.
The original AR-15 as developed by ArmaLite was a purely military weapon. It caught the eye of certain influential parties within the US Army and trial production was requested. ArmaLite licensed manufacture and nomenclature copyrights to Colt’s, which performed all production of what became the M-16 family of small arms for many years.
After early successes at selling the rifle to DoD and other official organizations, Colt’s decided to make a semi-only version for the civilian market, debuting it in 1964 as the AR-15 SP1. It did not sell well initially: ten years later, production was still well short of 50,000.
After Colt’s patent rights expired in 1977, other gunmakers began to sell rifles of similar design chambered for the 223 Remington cartridge or the very similar 5.56mm M193 US military cartridge. Colt’s retained trademark copyrights to the name “AR-15”, which is why all other manufacturers have invented their own model names, some similar, some less so.
The 5.56mm military cartridge was adopted in NATO in October 1980, under STANAG 4172, as a second standardized rifle cartridge. bowing to US pressure again, Alliance nations adopted various small arms firing it. Numerous nations around the world have copied NATO; some are aligned with the Allies, some aren’t.
Popular affection for AR-15-style rifles and the 5.56mm round grew only slowly among civilian gun owners, who are staunchly traditional. The M-16 was afflicted with early problems on the battlefield, which did nothing to endear it to the gun community. Many military veterans still mistrust both rifle and cartridge.
Despite author Baumann’s assertion in her next to last paragraph, full-auto guns are not illegal. Private ownership & possession are heavily regulated under US Federal law; about 280,000 “machine guns” are on the registry list. Obtaining one legally takes months, dreary paperwork, and deference to a number of officials. They are also painfully expensive. The ordeal, however, goes on: after funds are transferred, permission is granted, taxes are paid, and possession taken, Federal rules tightly govern where the gun may be taken, how it’s stored, even who may touch it.
Many states do regulate them or ban ownership outright; if memory serves, California prohibits individuals from owning them.
Dismiss these comments as “gunsplaining” or not, according to your preferences. But it is humbly submitted that when the Left catches us making mistakes, even on the tiniest detail, they will be merciless. Prudent to get it right from the beginning.
