He also stated that 5 round “clips” are standard military issue and that you can turn an AR into a machine gun by simply removing a pin.

He's a politician and by definition a brilliant guy. We must be wrong but I thought to convert an AR into a machine gun you had to mill out a big chunk of metal from the inside of the lower, drill a third hole through the side, drop in an auto-sear (which you can only obtain with a Form 1 and... a butt load of money) then INSERT the third pin?

And oh yea, I thought clips for loading AR15 magazines hold 10 rounds, not 5.

naw. i find that the ones i’ve argued with are more about, “i personally live free while y’all are free to die while the gov’t keeps you away from me.”

libertarianism == gov’t of the one over the many.

how they think that’ll fly is beyond me, however.

The only thing Weld is “libertarian” on is abortion

“Libertarians are Liberals. Many Libertarians will try to deny it, but they take Liberal positions about 95% of the time.”

BINGO!

So what the hell has happened to the Libertarian Party anyway? Did they just nominate Johnson and Weld because they had a little name recognition? They’re certainly not libertarian in their leanings!

Contrast Gary Johnson now with what he said when he was the Libertarian candidate in 2012.

Mr. Weld is NOT a Libertarian, and hints quite loudly of being a Communist.

How can a libertarian be anti-gun? That’s like a pro-life abortionist.

Cos Weld is out for himself.

In March 1988, Weld resigned from the Justice Department, together with United States Deputy Attorney General Arnold Burns and four aides, in protest of improper conduct by U.S. Attorney General Edwin Meese.[8] In July 1988, Weld and Burns jointly testified before Congress in favor of a potential prosecution of Meese for his personal financial conduct, following a report by a special prosecutor investigating Meese.[8] Meese resigned from office in July 1988 shortly after Weld’s and Burns’ testimony.[8]

Today is looks cut and dry with Weld as the Hero. But at the time it looked to me like ALL RATS ABANDON SHIP. A stab in the back to Reagan.

Real libertarians are not liberals and many will support Trump.

However, the libertarian party has gone totally wacko this year—and the good news is that hopefully both they and the Green Party will cut into Hillary support.

It’s called a firing pin - but it doesn’t move by itself.

The Libertarian Party is rather like the Democratic Party in that their names are not related to their politics.

They put their supposed principles in the closet for the opportunity to have a couple of candidates that people have heard of.

They should go after the Hillary supporters. They have a lot in common.

If I remove the Firing Pin my AR becomes a Fully Automatic Weapon? Cool.

I wonder how many Clips I can fit inside it then. #;^) - LOL

Don’t let your clips and your pins get mixed up together. All your shells will go off!

I Pin my Clips to my Magazines.

No wait, I Clip my Pins to my Magazines.

No wait, my Magazines are Clipped to my Pins.

No wait, My Magazines are Pinned to my Clips.

Oh the heck with it. The Ammunition runs the show anyway.

Libertarians are Liberals. Many Libertarians will try to deny it, but they take Liberal positions about 95% of the time.

We have no options on the topic in question this time around. Trump agrees with Hillary and Bill Weld on this one.

One area in which Mr. Trump does part ways with gun rights activists is on preventing people on the government’s terrorist watch list from buying weapons.

“If somebody is on a watch list and an enemy of state and we know it’s an enemy of state, I would keep them away, absolutely,” he said in an interview with ABC News last year.


I have been a pretty reliable Libertarian voter in the past. The fact that Bill Weld agrees with the Duopoly candidates that second amendment rights don't matter when it comes to maintaining the power of the Security State is one of the main reasons I'll be writing in Vermin Supreme this time around.
