At her speech in Chicago [above], the President’s wife addressed the thorny issue of gun control. Michelle Obama called for the City’s politicians to remove barriers to gun ownership in general and concealed carry in specific. “For too long, the government has denied Illinois residents their natural, human right to armed self-defense . . . We need to send a clear message to criminals preying on the weak and the innocent that they will no longer be unopposed by right-thinking God-fearing people. That the people of this city, people of this state, refuse to be victims. We need to give honest law-abiding citizens the tools they need to take back their cities, their towns and their neighborhoods from criminals with no respect for law, decency or the value of human life. And we need to make sure that the courts lock up these violent criminals and throw away the key.” And then I woke up.
Get your tinfoil hat on boys. This is the gun grabbers plan to bring in illegal m16’s and flood the streets of Chicago with them. They figure that bringing in “full auto machine assault guns” to blame violence on would be easier than actually learning about the firearms they hate so much.
Pretty soon we’ll here “See see see! They are all fully automatic bang bang kill death evil black things!”
Is it April 1st again???? Good one.
“My husband and I will continue to exploit those victims of gun violence that make the most sense. These include school children, preferably middle to upper middle class white kids, movie goers, and other innocent bystanders caught in gang crossfire. We’ll ignore those victims who happen to be male, black or hispanic and affiliated with a gang. Their numbers are too great to count much less care and may call into question decades of progressive politics. We ask that you not talk about those people.”

The bright kids go to school anywhere else.
Still, at least campus carry got some press. It has already been buried in committee this session, this could bring it back to life.
saw the headline, posted it on facebook, watch 20min of speech. i hate you. give my 20mins back.
Syrian Rebels need gun food too
Specifically Tuarus 92 model. Don’t waste your money, they are manufactured to shoot way low! When sending a brand new one in for accuracy issues, they HAND FILED the front sight down by 1/2 it’s height. This left file marks on the front sight and made it look like some backwoods hillbilly altered the gun. They could have installed a higher rear sight to cure the shooting low problem.. Stupid stupid stupid. They never did address the sloppy lockup in battery that I also pointed out. Taurus=NEVER AGAIN!
Colt single action army. Winchester lever action. Colt model 1911. S&W Model 10.
Nothing modern, designed and built by a foreign country. Nothing that hasn’t at least 75 years of history, American history. If you want something that screams “American” watch the faces of the staid, tight ass, Europeans when an American single action revolver comes up for auction.
America’s gun is icon not a fad. The Glock is not yet an icon the way a Colt SAA, 1911 or an M-1. The Glock is just popular. The AR-15 design has been around long enough to be an icon yet I don’t consider it an American icon. The M-16 is iconic in the way the M-1 is. When pick up an M-1 you pick up a piece of Omaha Beach. When you pick up an M-16 are part of the 7th Cav in Vietnam. When you pick up the “modern sporting rilfe” you pick up a varmint gun.
So what is America’s gun vice its current popular gun? The Winchester ’73 and the Colt SAA represent America in a way that no other rifle or pistol can.
Those fools that think that bill will do anything positive for us are fools. With influence from Shumer they have stripped out any CCW reciprocity for states which currently do not get recognized.
There should be no compromise with when it comes to constitutional rights.
F**K YOU, Murphy!!!!!
Hypothetical news story for ya.
“Mr. Hutchinson was found to be in possesion of a black ski-mask during the early months of spring this year. A check of his criminal records showed that he had been convicted of armed robbery 20 years earlier involving the use of a ski-mask and his personal vehicle. The local police ordered Mr. Hutchinson to surrender his ski-mask and drivers licence, as he MIGHT have been planning to drive to the scene of a robbery wearing the ski-mask.”
Imagine reading this in the paper or on a news site.
Would this EVER be an OK thing to do for ANY law enforcement organization EVER?
My hypothetical person had been CONVICTED of a crime in which he used a ski-mask and drove to the scene in a car. And it STILL wouldn’t be OK for this to happen!
The reverends and the ACLU would GRILL that department over hot coals!
Pre-Crime at its best. I guess descrimination is alright if you REALLY don’t like the people you’re targeting. Racist organizations rejoice! You have like-minded friends in office! Ticker-tape parade! Descrimination is fine now!
I’mma go puke now.
Don’t forget Mark Begich (D-AK) and Mark Pryor (D-AR). They broke ranks to oppose the debate and deserve as much attention as the 16 repubs that passed it.
Of course it makes sense. When your states are named AK and AR you have to be pro-gun. If we could just find a few to rename FN, HK and SW we’d have nothing to worry about.
