Leftists just want our lives stopped.
...not just guns, property, whatever—they want to control every facet of the spirit, minds, and bodies of others—but liberty for ME!
I'm sure all the freedoms that we still enjoy drive them crazy; can't wait to cut them all down.
It is always the urban muck politicians trying to control their urban muck subjects and inmates.
When I buy a second hand gun I get a hand written bill of sale.
Think the lib politicians are concerned with citizens being shot ?
They are worried about their own skins !
Liberal
Progressive
Democratic
...used for the same reasons that the “Bolshevik” party was named so, bolshevik meaning, “the majority”, although they were actually the minority.
Also, the name of any bill put forth in Congress in recent years will give you a clue as to what the bill will NOT do or is NOT for or will NOT promote.
When are we going to get around to returning that favor?
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
Well, there you go. It is as obvious as the nose on your face, and it is all about interpretation. You are assuming an individual right when this is all about “the People” and the militia, both cover lots of people, and those lots of people are not being prohibited from carrying weapons. The police, the Army the National guard, the armed services in general, the FBI etc etc. See, fits like a glove. /sarc
I recall events like he describes where police and other folks had no problem with the rifle you had slung over your shoulder. We brought rifles to school because we hunted before the day began. This was mid-1970s, folks... not that long ago.
We had a rife team, and we all brought our rifles (those who had them - those who didn't used the school's remington 513T's) to school on practice and competition days. We had a rife range in the basement of the gym
I graduated HS in '74, and what was in my car on any given day in the HS parking lot, would be considered a large arsenal by todays bedwetting standards.
Plus, it's a liberty-oriented venue where liberty-minded people gather. Associating with your own kind keeps morale up, especially when people see that the MSM's been lying to them, and how many like them there are. (Too many, sometimes -- you can't wedge your way up to a table!) So, from a liberals point of view, nothing good can come of this, at least once O's brownshirts have cruised the parking lot and taken down all the tag numbers.
1978 Junior High School - I brought my rifle to school once per week for the gun club meeting. Nobody batted an eye.
To top it off, this was in Garden City, Long Island NEW YORK.
Now, forget about a gun club, if you even draw a picture of a gun in that school you'd likely be suspended.
Initially, it would be no problem. If Gramps just gives Junior the gun anyway, there would be no way for them to prove he did so after the effective date of the law. The problem will come down the road when potential recipients are born after the law. Pretty hard to claim you gave someone a gun before he was born. I wonder if there would be any rules about what Junior would have to do if he FOUND a rifle just laying around.
Of course not. They were exterminated by then, along with other peoples The Party had no plans for.
All those rights for the people to have arms gets in the way of state planning.
I know, perhaps private firearms could be transfered to the ATFE for smuggling into Mexico?
That would solve a couple of pesky little problems, and of course what Agency does not desire “plausible deniability”?
I think any registered weapons you now have should be sold or traded for the same model, caliber and quality. That way none of the weapons you will posses will be in their files under your name.
I have not bought a registered weapon in over twenty years, I insist on private sales. I don’t keep track of who I buy or sell to and I’ve never had the cops knock on my door asking any questions about previously owned weapons. I will not participate in this registration game.
