Well said, indeed.

Campbell Brown: No Bias, No Bull

That's hilarious.

Why would somebody murder their child? Because the Supreme Court invented that right?

Brought to you by this man:

[Old Teufel Hunden]

“Why would someone own a semiautomatic weapon like this? I mean, is saying it’s my right, is that enough?”

Why would somone watch CNN news? I mean, is saying I'm a liberal, is that enough?

[Carling]

“Journalists” like Brown are among the first to be eliminated as a charismatic fascist leader consolidates his power and seeks to control his message. She's just too dumb to understand this. It's all about right vs. left, GOP vs. Dem, or conservative vs. liberal to simpletons like Campbell Brown.

“Why would CNN run bunk like this?

“I mean, is saying ‘it’s my right’, is that enough?”

Those who choose not to understand what the second amendment means do not deserve the protections of the first amendment.

[MrB]

Ask the foolish, ignorant bastard if he can describe what a “semi-automatic” is,

and you’ll either get a dumbfounded look,
a redirection and attack on you personally,
or a definition of “select-fire”.

My BIL asked almost the same question on time in a discussion, and I asked him for his understanding of “semi-automatic”, and knowing he was trapped, admitted he didn’t know.

[MrB]

Many gun owners believe this president is somehow out to curb their rights and they’re stocking up just in case.

And it's not just gun rights that we believe he's "out to curb."

[MrB]

Prov 26:4-5
4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly,
Or you will also be like him.
5 Answer a fool as his folly deserves,
That he not be wise in his own eyes.

Stating, don’t accept the premises of a fool,
but answer him as his foolishness deserves.

[MrB]

Not necessarily because of “mandatory markers”...

people are stocking up because they see this gov’t pushing past that “too far” point.

[devistate one four]

I’m convinced that the state run medias think we believe them.

Well, the ones that voted zero in must.

[mojitojoe]

Many stores are sold out because folks are stocking up in anticipation of the mandatory markers.
____________
pssst, go to gun shows, read the gun forums, go to gun shops and listen to what people are saying.... that is NOT the reason they are stocking up. Many fully expect to have to use those guns to protect themselves in the near future.

[mojitojoe]

The reality is that we’ll never see another truly free, open and honest election in this country until after the next American Civil War. And the America we’ll have after that won’t be the America we started with - for good or for ill. It was always and ever up to us.
_______________
You are 100% correct. Our forefathers said it and you just said it again.

[Smokin' Joe]

Precious metals come in many forms.

I've been investing in 'semi-precious' metal for years.

I mean, is saying it’s my right, is that enough?”

What a waste of air. Yes, nitwit, that is exactly what having a "right" means. Exactly.

[OneWingedShark]

>Why would somebody murder their child? Because the Supreme Court invented that right?

Well, that’s what the abortionists say: “It’s our right!!”

Asking “is this a right?” is different from asking “how can this be a right if I have to explain myself?”

For example you have the right to ascribe to any religion you wish; people may ask you why (for an explanation), but that does not negate that right, nor does it oblige you to answer them.

[OneWingedShark]

>Ask the foolish, ignorant bastard if he can describe what a “semi-automatic” is

My def: Simply a 1-to-1 correspondence of trigger-pull to fire without manual intervention as long as there is ammunition fed/loaded.

Most handguns are semi-automatic, and if you apply the definition I gave revolvers are semi-automatic as well.

[Carling]

Oh, I agree with you. My point was the CNN reporter acted incredulous that anyone would actually want the gun he was asking about. I would have liked to see him walk into Planned Parenthood and ask my abortion “right” question to the staff.

[MrB]

Of course that’s the definition of “semi-automatic” from an informed person.

But for those that are ignorant, or worse, intentionally dishonest,

they are trying to imply that these are machine guns in waiting, just flip a switch.
