Much better to just ban insurrectionist politicians who violate their oath to support the Constitution.

Fourteenth Amendment
Section 3.

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof...

Second Amendment

...the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

With 0 on watch “assault weapon”s will be expanded to include handguns within the next few years. Incrementalism is the tool of government andthe same way armies advanced and conquered territories for millennia; same method; different scale.

A big part of the problem is them enforcing the laws already on the books.

The problem is that the “lunatics” have “rights”...far more rights, it appears, then law abiding gun owners who aren’t mentally ill.

Why is it that no one wanted to ban jet aircraft after 9/11??

“Police believe most of the shots came from a Bushmaster .223, a semi-automatic assault rifle.”

Most vs All?

I cannot believe the inconsistencies that are in the press related to this mass murder.

The MSM coverage is the worst I have ever seen. Reminds me of the lies from Benghazi.

A “very serious national conversation about violence in our society” is nothing but code words for another attempt by the left to disarm the people.

‘Assault weapon’ will be redefined as any weapon with a barrel.

That is curiously absent. I have heard it described it as a Bushmaster in .223 caliber, but I have not heard it called an assault weapon.

P.S. See?BS and other liberal rags are reporting it as an assault weapon.

One guy. One lone GOP Congressman.

Looks like the GOP is going to cave without even a fight.

When they do, don’t act surprised.

If anyone watched Fox News Sunday, the definition of “assault weapons” is expanding and now included semi-auto pistols.

This went unchallenged by Wallace and was in fact promoted by Wallace.

Wallace repeatedly referred to a pistol that could shoot five rounds a second. To my knowledge, Lanza had a Sig and a Glock. Anyone know where he is getting this.

Dick Durbin called the firarms military weapons and went unchallenged. Wallace asked the same question of the next guess as if were true.

“They want civil war.”

No. They want political and racial liquidation of disarmed and leaderless non-conformists. The very last thing they want is a contested civil war.

Nonsense.

Just like there are tens of millions of gun owners in this country who do not run around murdering people, there are tens of millions of young, male, video game “nuts” who don’t run around murdering people.

If you consider the reality of my statement, you will discover your cause and effect gibberish is ludicrous.
