The Californian picked to lead congressional Democrats´ efforts on gun control says the positions held by some gun rights advocates are unnecessarily divisive, and that government action should go beyond simply outlawing certain weapons. "I think assault weapons are a pox on the home of every gun owner," Rep. Mike Thompson said Saturday on CNN. "I think that´s the thing that´s going to cause the overwhelming majority of people in this country who aren´t gun owners to have negative feelings about those of us who are gun owners." Thompson is a gun owner and hunter himself,

“Final Solution” to the “Jewish Problem”....”Great Leap Forward”...”Collectivization”.... A never ending river of lies, a torrent that only leads to totalitarianism.

“Oh gee, another “Golfer with a Gun””

The proper term is “Fudd”. I find these guys to be utter morons myself.... “Well, I don’t think anybody needs one of those. My .22 single-shot is all anybody ever needed.” They just can’t seem to understand that the enemy wants them all gone.

"Thompson is a gun owner and hunter himself"

Sure he is, and Henry Reed is an honest politician, King Barry is a good Christian man, and murdering infants in the womb is a "woman's health issue".

Everyone knows the democrat fascists exempt themselves from the laws they put in place so the guy may own a dozen machine guns, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't abolish the Second Amendment in a heartbeat if he could.

“pox on the home’

Ridicule is such an effective weapon against your opponent. That is what makes progressive change the meaning of words and phrases, so they can then ridicule. It is so effective and we fall for it every time.

“...but you’re not going to solve this issue by arming every school teacher or every principal.”

Remind me again, Sir, why you were carrying a weapon while you were serving in Viet Nam?

Nothing in the bill is designed to protect our children or make schools safer. It was written BEFORE Sandy Hook and saved for just such an event.
They full well expect another shooting tragedy and have another draft in the works for the next step. You cannot cut the heart out of the Constitution all at once. It has to be done incrementally over time, telling everyone it must be done, for their own good and safety and for the future. Until they have 100% control of your goods, safety and future.
Progressives 101.

Okay, I won’t call it “Gun Control”. What you are proposing is to disarm the people as a first step to tyranny of a communist state. No way!

Circa 2013: I think assault weapons are a pox on the home of every gun owner,

Circa 1776: I think rifles are a pox on the home of every musket owner!

If the government can have and use fully automatic “assault rifles”, the citizens of the nation can have semi automatic “assault rifles” as a 2nd amendment right.

They need to stay away from my 2nd amendment rights. Note: constitutional rights are enforceable by every citizen, not just the courts and government.

"...I noticed a recent news story that Florida has issued its one millionth concealed carry permit.

The last election had its “they are going to take our lady parts” voter. A million CCW holders win a key electoral college state is a voting block that can make or break a future presidential candidate..."

Florida, like several other States, got hosed in the last election. the demoncRATS now own the voting machines!

We're on our own now. Good luck .......................................................... FRegards

Thompson’s gun is what, décor?

He hunts? What does he hunt? I feel a laser pointer on my back about now.

Unnecessarily divisive? What is necessarily divisive in this man’s view?

All people should be conversing? Except that the NRA is being avoided.....altogether.....along with its membership and other supporters.

It’s not gun control, though. It’s gun confiscation. It’s unconstitutional deprivation of the right to self-defense, by any means necessary.

0bama and cabal will go for something in the extreme, like his budget request, to force something else, like with ammunition or something. Never mind that you can already bar code ammo, let alone provide protection for public figures.

It's not a pox. It's epoxy. Guns help keep homes and people together safely. To wit, I give you,

Epoxy garage flooring: Guns set our homes' safe floors: epoxy.
