Yea!

[samadams2000]

Buy American made gun products this week. Your freedom will thank you.

[Westbrook]

I believe that’s the president’s intent, as it should be.

[sport]

Get ready for some more shootings.

[NorthMountain]

Mr President:

Your supporters oppose gun control. Which of the thousands of gun control laws currently on the books do you propose to REPEAL?

[dsc]

Bipartisanship is when the Evil Party and the Stupid Party get together and do something that is both evil and stupid.

I hope our president steers clear of such foolishness.

The Democrats have only one objective with “background checks”, it is to build a database of who has the guns, and who is purchasing them. All this is a prerequisite to confiscation at some future time.

Criminals, of course, would be missed this dragnet almost entirely, as they obtain guns by extralegal channels, which do not much include any kind of applications to a state or federal agency, and are always either cash-and-carry or the five-finger discount (flat out STEALING the gun).

I still stand by the alternative, which is to fully educate EVERY American on the duties and responsibilities of handling weapons safely and within the bounds of the law. By widespread exposure to the whole culture of gun possession, it would become relatively obvious those persons who are so deathly afraid of guns they could never be induced to handle them, and those who are of such warped moral fiber that they must never be ALLOWED to come into possession of the array of weapons out there, and not just guns, but or every other kind of device which can inflict harm or death on another.

The remainder, which would be far the largest part of those exposed to information about guns of all kinds, would then be free to engage in further training and education in the care, feeding, grooming, safety requirements, and the skills necessary to select targets judiciously, to frame, aim, and with respectable accuracy, direct fire at the chosen target.

“red flag laws not enough”

That’s a “red” flag itself.

It’s no use trying to appease international socialists. They’ll increase our cotton picking quotas too.

[Levy78]

I’d say it feels about like 1859 these days.

[Lisbon1940]

The next shootings will be easier because “Do Something” failed this time.

[elpadre]

We need to broadcast far and wide that places with gun laws invite criminals. Those cities with the strongest gun laws have the worst crime - check it out. That statement is undeniable. Spread it.

[txnativegop]

in red states no doubt

[Boomer]

Bill Whittle on the facts about murders in the USA and other countries.

If we took the dem controlled cities out of America; we would have one of the safest nations on the planet. Don't be fooled into thinking this about guns; it's not. It has always been about control. The control freak politicians know they can't control us as long as we are legally armed as we should be.

America doubles in population every 50-60 years. So does the number of nut cases. Stopping illegal immigration is one the best things we can do to make America safer and more honest in general. Slow the growth rate in America before we are nothing more than one big ugly Detroit or other dem slum city.

[TigersEye]

No to all of it. It is all unacceptable!

[LS]

What did I tell all the pearl-clutchers? This is Trump’s modus operandi.

1) “We need to strengthen red flag laws.”
2) Two weeks later. “We are looking at a number of things.”
3) “Of course we’re not going to do anything ridiculous like that.”

He has done this now on several occasions with guns and with certain foreign policy issues.

[Taxman]

“Bipartisanship is when the Evil Party and the Stupid Party get together and do something that is both evil and stupid.”

Post of the day!

Taxman Bravo Zulu!

[null and void]

I want Trump to ban ALL guns...

...from movies and TV!

Imagine the squawking from Hollywood!

[elcid1970]

Beto spilled the beans last week. It’s all about confiscation and not one Dem on that platform disagreed.

Sen. Coonskin tut-tutted him for committing a tactical blunder but that was it. They ALL want confiscation because gun control is ALL about disarming & punishing their political opponents.

Yeah, someone here said they’ll just whistle up another mass shooting. There’s a pattern and that’s not conspiracy stuff.

PDJT is our shield against collectivist tyranny. The more they hate him, the more they hate all of us who voted for him.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Trump is just dragging along until time goes by and nothing gets passed.
