The momentum in the gun debate has clearly shifted toward gun rights proponents as the NRA continues to stand on the clear language of the Second Amendment. Whereas 2012 ended with Democrats working their constituents up into an emotional fervor to ban entire classes of guns, expand background checks, and ban “extended magazines,” now nothing sounds sillier than the suggestion “The right of the people to keep and bear Arms [holding less than 10 rounds], shall not be infringed.” That said, what about . . .
“The right of the people to keep and bear Arms [after getting government permission through expanded background checks], shall not be infringed.”
Americans, men and women of all political stripes, socioeconomic backgrounds, and races, have grasped once more the fact that our Founding Fathers intended the citizenry to be armed. And they are starting to understand again that the Second Amendment rights was put in place to defend the rest of the Bill of Rights from government infringement.
Now, when gun control proponents push for expanded background checks to stop crimes that don’t involve background checks or seek to ban guns that are statistically never used in crimes–guns like a Barrett .50 caliber rifle–Americans hear something that is nonsensical.
Just think how silly “The right of the people to keep and bear Arms [that aren’t arbitrarily called ‘assault weapons’], shall not be infringed” sounds.
Inexpensive Crosman pump pellet rifle with inexpensive scope. Relaxing fun, priceless.
Dunno… I still like my Blackhawk Serpa holsters… (Cue hate in three, two, one)
I know a lot of people don’t like them- that’s fine.
I’ve never experienced a draw that put my booger hook inside the bang switch guard.
For me, it always aligned my finger outside the trigger guard.
Have a Serpa for my 1911, my XD, and my Glock.
Meh.
A Bushmaster AR. Of course, the standard answer for every person who watches too much MSM and knows virtually nothing about guns.
I expected this to be the first reply, how disappointing.
People need to realize that NYC is a fiefdom controlled by an extremely wealthy and connected lord. Mayor Bloomberg.
In his territory his laws apply, and he has a massive army of police and attorneys to enforce them. What his lordship wants his lordship decrees and gets.
Best just to stay clear; I would never in a million years even dream about flying a firearm threw a NYC airport.
His lordship is about to leave thankfully and depart for London which he has stated many times is just a better place to be and that the US should emulate. I hope the door doesn’t hit him on the way out…
Don’t. Do. Drugs.
Or let your BFF talk you into Pink hair.
That is all.
“Shall not be infringed”… Except when it is, in democRAT controlled Utopias.
“Shall not be infringed” means, regardless of whatever decisions wrought by legislative fiat, the courts, or arguments grounded in social utility, exactly that — and only that.
Ten rounds or less? Come and get my standard capacity magazines, then.
Guys, I want some feedback. Are we winning or losing the 2a argument?
As the old joke goes…
A young cannibal asks his dad, ” Daddy” he says.” What do old people taste like.?”
Well his daddy looks at him and says. “Depends.”
I wonder how the 5 year old managed to shoot himself, too. Shoot someone else, sure. Himself? That’s a challenge.
The first thing my 2yr old did when he got a squirt gun was poin it at his face and squeeze the trigger with his thumbs. It was the only way he could muster the force to depress it. If he wasn’t familiar with guns it may have made sense to him at the time. I know my son has demonstrated sufficent intelligence, curiosity and determination to (unintentionally) kill himself with a loaded gun. That’s why I lock them up.
Also if you can muffle a gun with a potatoe, you can do it with a 5 yr old.
When I was about 5 I was in a situation where I found a gun under a futon at someone’s house I was sleeping at. I remember looking at the gun and thinking, “cool a squirt gun” then pointing it at me, then the mattress, then me, ect. At that time I had never seen a real gun but there was something inside me that questioned the situation. I aimed the gun at the futon and squeezed off a round. This is one of the primary reasons I strongly favor gun education because you can be the “best” dad in the world and hide/lock your guns from your kids but you never know how responsible another dad might be.
On a side note my wife and I were just talking about this and wondering what caused me to have caution and thought about the old PSA cartoons used to have. Something like “GI Joe” that might have said, “If you see a gun don’t touch it!”
I’m thinking there will be more to this story. But will it ever make it in the news a year or two from now.
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT, ENDO-TTAG crossover.
IM COMIN ELIZABETH!
Not that I’d ever want to be shot with a .50BMG, but if I ever do, I hope it’s not loaded with a V-Max bullet.
I only read the headline: A Colt 1911 primary, 2 spare mags and a S&W 380 bodyguard backup with one spare.
Holly hell if I run out of working guns and ammo it was terrible! I keep an Ar15 in the truck with 300rnds up in mags. . . if I can’t fight my way to that either I’m scattered and running or I’m dead. Still though, What the heck happened!
Moved to PA from the peoples republic of Maryland and was shocked to find out I can’t use my semi-auto rifles or my Beeman and RWS 1100 fps airguns to hunt with. They are legal in MD!
I killed many squirrels and rabbits with those airguns, as well as some large groundhogs with head shots. I did get a “shall issue” carry permit in PA, which was hopeless in MD, but I am not happy with the trade off because I did not expect it.
If memory serves, the FBI doesn’t call it a “mass shooting” without 4 dead.
Mass shootings? Maybe Kelly meant “center mass shootings.” I’ve read about several at “Guns Save Lives.”
I have a question. So I purchased a sig P250. Absolutely love this gun. My question is: the manual clearly states not to use +P rounds and I intend do not use them. However, I did buy a box of Fiocchi XTP 145 grin rounds for it. The box does not state if the round is a +p, After doing some a little research on other forums, some folks stated it might as well be a +p round. With that said. Is it safe too use it as a defense round and not have this gun blow up in my hand after the first 5 rounds? if I hand too use it as such?
I have a sig 1911-22, fairly new,broken firing pin. I’m from alberta Canada,does anybody know where I can get one from. No company seems to ship from the USA? Need help,thanks.
San Fran Fags (British cigarettes). Retroactive commie filth. Never vote libtard (democrat) again.
Mother Jones is listing five mass shootings since Sandy Hook, eleven short of Giffords’ claim. Mother freaking Jones.
Let’s get reviews of the Quigley .72 or Quackenbush rifles. 🙂
Joe, great interesting review! I like buying value and that is a gun to put on the wish list. The top pic with Oregon scenery in the background is well tops.
That’s the problem with the progressives’ worldview: it’s based on how they FEEL the world “should” be, rather than what IS. They choose to ignore reality and embrace hope, change, and utopian fantasies.
I have heard antis explain gun free zones as such: “schools and churches should be safe places where you don’t need a gun, therefore they should be banned there” Here, this woman has expanded that sentiment to all public spaces.
Hey, wait a cotton pickin’ minute. Didn’t TTAG post a similar article on April 1st that was an April Fool’s joke? Is this an April Fool’s joke in October?
