No one interested in Brian Terry?
“last of seven suspects in the 2010 murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was arrested”
If Obumer/Holder/ATF goons were arrested over Gunrunner I guess I missed it.
The Second amendment includes up to and including, current military issue personal arms.
And the closest related weapon to the assault weapon set on full auto is the shotgun loaded with buckshot.. one trigger pull a burst of projectiles any one which can take down a full grown human.
Nothing quite like basing an argument on a opinion stated as a fact. Inverted strawman?
Interesting he mentions cannons, which were privately owned during the Revolution and after, as well as almost certainly being covered by the 2nd Amendment. Kind of undermines his whole spurious argument.
Cannons that don’t use fixed ammunition aren’t firearms or destructive devices. In most jurisdictions, they can be owned/transferred/made/sold without any registration, license, or background check.
Black powder cannon where for the most crew served weapons.
Which the Supreme Court way back stated meant it wasn’t an individual weapon.. so no actual Personal Right.
It was just back then they didn’t leave puddles (not yellow) in Glee at taking crew served weapons from people who might need them.
Unless time of war, invasion, insurection, and Enforcement of laws of the Union.
Ummm wasn’t part of the reason the British marched on Lexington and Concord to capture the privately held cannons and powder stores? So you might be a bit off in your analogy, sir.
Actually, the M4 is the musket of our time if you consider the historical contexts of the second and the people it was meant to arm. With the good parts in it.
ER Doc: Are there any firearms in your residence, and are they secured from unauthorized users?
Me: Does your mother eat garlic?
Doc: (Confused) I…I don’t see how that is relevant…
Me: I was thinking the same thing.
I was getting treatment for a staph infection on my foot from getting it cut by coral on vacation
WTF????
After 15 Felony convictions and
No one saw this person as a threat to society???
as someone needing Rehabilitation, and/or Punishment??
“Rapid-fire capability isn’t protected by the Second Amendment.”
Shhhh . . . don’t tell Jerry Miculek.
The SChitcago Tribune is FAKE NEWS.
AND THE SECOND AMENDMENT IS FOR PROSECUTION, BY INDIVIDUAL OR GROUPS OF U.S. CITIZENS, OF THE 2ND PARAGRAPH OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. THEREFORE YOU NEED PARITY OF ARMS WITH THE GOVERNMENT THAT YOU ARE REPLACING, AND YOU NEED THEM WITHOUT NEEDING TO ASK ANY AHOLE WHO IS BEING REPLACED FOR THE PERMISSION TO HAVE THEM.
Simple logic MFs.
Cause Chucky knows it will only take a few more false flag mass shootings and the public will be begging for gun control.
Ummm, not when it is almost all leftists leaning psycho’s targeting mostly conservative leaning American Patriots( that own most of the guns).
Oh, I am one of those single issue voters. Because the 2nd amendment is the 1st and the last right when it comes to defending ones freedom..
Yeah, the 2nd Paragraph of the Declaration of Independence is in the breach, and the block is closing. The only thing that’s being banned will be them.
Saunders goes by “Mudcat”. If you put that in the body of the article, it might jog some memories of when Webb beat George Allen.
The smell of ripe mackerels is in the air. Chucky “Crybaby” Schumer wouldn’t say this without at least 50 ulterior motives.
According to the website at the following link, http://heyjackass.com/category/2017-stats/, year to date (2017) there have been at least 529 firearm related murders just in the city of Chicago which has some of the most draconian and anti-constitutional gun laws in the US. This month alone 33 have been murdered, and as of this writing it is only the 19th day of the month
That is roughly the equivalent of one Las Vegas attack/massacre every single month. Every single month….. Next month will be no different, or the month after that.
Passing unconstitutional laws, disarming the law abiding and attacking the fundamental constitutional rights of all Americans has absolutely the opposite effect of deterring crime. Such measures serve only to embolden, and make more powerful those for whom the rule of law has become a devastatingly effective tool to render others (their victims) defenseless.
This applies equally to Chicago’s murderous criminals, and to the leftist political and media hacks who empower and enable them.
For what it’s worth, I have barraged his office (and that of his moron counterpart Gillibrand) with every single pre-written letter that GOA emails me to send.
Ah, the joys of living in rural, red upstate New York.
Let’s suppose that all the arguments posted above are TRUE, and plainly so. WE see things so clearly.
Nevertheless, at the same time, the arguments don’t fit in a 140 character Twitter message. Therefore, by definition, the arguments will fail to register with the uncommitted voter.
The simplest and most straight-forward argument is the one – if any – that might prevail. That argument is – I think – that “bump-fire” devices are so easy to make that it is futile to attempt to regulate or ban them. Anyone committed to mass murder will have no difficulty making or finding a bump-fire device. How can we gun-control belt loops or rubber-bands?
“The moral of this long, sordid story: even single cell organisms are smart enough to turn away from heat.”
Yeah, it’s those multiple cells that cause the trouble. So let’s pass a law that says only single cell organisms can serve in Congress! It’d sure beat what we have there now.
Ok, let’s use their own setup against them. Text reject to 644-33 and when you get connected state you are FOR supressors, and concealed carry reciprocity, if you are an NRA member as I am state that also. I’m sure we can have a bigger influence than these whiny so called Progressives.
Schumer remembers 1994, when he was “The Man” carrying the 1994 AW “ban” and the Brady Bill to Clinton’s desk.
In November of 1994, the DNC lost control of the Congress in both houses for the first time in decades. The press, the DNC, the GOP, the Clinton machine – they were all taken off-guard. They were all surprised.
In the aftermath, the truth came out: The NRA and RKBA activists were directly responsible for flipping 21 seats in the House. One of the Democrats who was kicked out of office over the gun control vote rolled up on Schumer, in full view of the C-SPAN cameras, and screamed at Schumer: “This is YOUR fault! You did this! You cost me my seat!” I forget which Democrat bad-bencher it was, but Schumer was taken aback and embarrassed in the extreme.
And yet the totals shot and killed are not that much (43%) lower than last year…right?
I applaud anything that helps…but is it really helping?
San Francisco has a far more offensive ordinance that requires that all guns be disabled or secured in a safe unless in one’s immediate possession–and by that they mean on your body. A ridiculous law, but unfortunately one that was upheld as not violative of the Second Amendment by the Ninth Circuit. So the San Jose ordinance is valid under that controlling authority.
The purpose of these laws is to reduce the risk that a child will cause injury to himself or others if the child gains access to an unsecured and loaded firearm. And as we all know, such accidents do happen. There is already a law that declares it is a crime not to secure your firearms and a child causes injury to himself or other. So these laws just guild the lily. The laws are not intended to prevent theft.
To answer the question, no, I do not secure my firearms. I do not own a safe. Some guns (black powder revolvers) are in plain sight if a burglar wants to take them, the others less obvious, on my person, or well hidden. But we do not go out much (my wife is disabled), we have no children (they are grown) or grandchildren or any minors coming into the house. i
There must be a shitload of LCPs out there. I imagine it really tickles the right spot for the average carrier.
“..I have a proposal to solve the bump stock issue (and hopefully the entire gun debate) where both sides will win through an intelligent, non-emotional compromise. I propose a horse trade, of sorts.”
Thank you for your offer but I will decline.
Your ‘trade’ asks for more than it gives and I have already given more than I wanted to.
No.
No more compromise.
The objective of the anti-gun side is civilian disarmament. In other words, they want the POTG to cease to exist: cultural genocide. Any “compromise” they would be willing to make is a step in that direction.
If I thought we could give up bump stocks, or even institute UBCs, and they would leave us alone forever, I’d be for it. But they won’t leave us alone. They will keep coming back again and again and again, and any “compromise” they can claim as a “win” will only increase their appetite for more.
We have been winning for a long time. At the Federal level, we’ve blocked gun control. At the State level, we’re winning in most places (although we’re losing badly in a few places like CA). In the courts, we’re winning big. In the culture, we’re winning as gun ownership for self defense and sport is increasingly widely accepted, even among an increasing number of people on the left. We have to maintain this momentum by blocking ANY gun control at the Federal level.
No compromise.
“Wayne Must Go.”
If I’m going to Texas for something gun related it’s either a TTAG meet or heli-hog-hunting with MG’s.
