Buffalo Mayor Brown: We Need ‘Sensible Gun Control’
Breitbart ^ | 05/15/2022 | Pam Key

Posted on 05/15/2022 5:24:50 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

1:51 On Sunday, Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he wanted “sensible gun control” in response to the mass shooting at a supermarket in his city on Saturday.

Brown said, “The thing that this tragedy shows us is that this can occur anywhere. It’s not just Buffalo. It’s how to make people all across this country feel safe. It’s not just African-Americans. It’s how to make people in urban America, suburban America, and rural America feel safe. The only way to do it is to really get to the point of sensible gun control in this country, to end hate speech on the internet and social media, to stop the proliferation of hateful ideology. Those are the ways that we make black people feel safe in Buffalo, that we make people feel safe all across this country.”

And that would do what to change what happened in Buffalo?

The crazy kid took a MSR that was made NY compliant post- production, and modified it so that it could accept detachable magazines.

So what gun control? Your can’t ban MSRs in NY. People were supposed to register their pre-SAFE Act MSRs - but the general thought is that very few did.

What next?

Kind of says something that the perp said beforehand that he felt confident no one there would be armed so that wasn’t a concern.

It means whatever they want it to mean at whatever time for whatever reason under any circumstance.

And make no mistake, it won’t stop with firearms/weapons.
It will essentially become blank check / credit card with unlimited authority for government personnel (elected and unelected people) to take what they want from whom they want whenever they want for whatever reason they want, or for no reason at all.

That’s the endgame and ultimate goal.

It means taking away guns from law abiding citizens but they just can’t take them away from gang bangers, illegal aliens and criminals.

What does that even mean?? 🙄

Those are the ways that we make black people feel safe in Buffalo, that we make people feel safe all across this country.”

NY is the most gun controlled state in the union. Apparently, the White Nationalist scam didn’t work.

On a radio channel’s news at the top of hour I believe I heard the following statement —

“the shooter and the gun have been taken into custody.”

Perhaps I misheard but I think that is what they said.

I am reminded of an old Bill Mauldin political cartoon from 1969. Wish I could find it.

A mob is lynching a handgun. A criminal leaving says “They lynched my gun but let me go!”

No

Sensible Gun Cotrol is socialist code for disarming law abiding citizens and making it practically impossible to defend yourself quickly

“Sensible” gun law demands in the past....They are never satisfied.

Starting in 1962 with the demand of Dems Thomas J. Dodd and Emanuel Celler...
1962 We ONLY want to register handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
1964, We ONLY want to register ALL firearms, not ban them.
1968 We ONLY want to register all guns, and ban the import of foreign Saturday Night Specials, and 5-shot bolt action army surplus rifles! (they got the ban).
1970, We ONLY want to ban small American handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
1976 We ONLY want to ban ALL handguns! Rifles will not be affected!
1981, Actress Lee Grant on Good Morning America screams and pokes holes in the air with her finger...”THE NRA IS A RIFLE ORGANIZATION! THEY SHOULD GIVE UP THEIR HANDGUNS AND THEY CAN KEEP THEIR RIFLES!”
1986, They came for the rifles.
Gun owners are always up against a stacked deck.

Disarm everybody but the criminals and the drug cartels.

With whom the government will merge right out in the open, instead of secretly as they do now.
