Ban lightning!

Make it a federal offense to be outdoors in range of hearing thunder.

“We need to ban or severely limit these types of weapons,” Richardson said of guns, adding that the NRA has used research to try to weaken gun laws.”

The NRA uses research? Oh the horror. Better to use emotion and hearsay like leftys.

Barbara Richardson of Sandy Hook, whose son attended the Sandy Hook Elementary School, said that cars and ladders are all regulated by the federal government in an attempt to keep the general public safe.

Car & ladders are protected by the 34th Amendment, right??

Interesting. Most of the pro-gun people offered rational arguments based on facts and logic.

The gun grabbers, the March for Change people, relied on fear, and threatened any legislator who who didn’t vote for what they wanted. Despite the fact that they are clearly in the minority.

Really makes you wonder what their true agenda is...

There’s some controversy about a “bump-fire stock”...


Yeah — as soon as I heard the story, I did a search and the best information I can find is that is the source of the claim: Some company makes a bump-fire stock. Rush got a call yesterday (darn near impossible to understand the guy) who said his soninlaw/nephew/mumble had a video of his mumble full-automatic mumble stock firing at mumble the range mumble, mumble.

Personally, I think that stuff is great: Hold the pistol sideways, use unreliable accessories, use jam-o-matic 100-rnd magazines. Keeps the kiddies from doing too much damage.

I think you’re absolutely correct about the stock...

There used to be what was called a “hellfire” spring that installed behind the trigger.

A light pull on the trigger would cause the recoil cycling “automatic” fire.

Thank for the clarification...I didn’t get that from your post.

It was an excellent turn-out for *the cause* I’m proud of gun-owners who showed up. I hope the testimonies didn’tfall on deaf ears.

To hear the gun-grabbbers, it’s obvious they have no facts and are using the victims as pawns. They are so exasperating...you can see no amount of valid info will change their minds. Typical Obama voters.
