Such common sense. I’m not sure little girl got the message.
obama gave weapons to Mexican drug cartels in order for them to murder as many people as possible so obama could use the killings as a pretext to ban the 2nd amendment. Over 400 people including 16 school children have been murdered so far.
That is what they support.
FTA: In 2008 McGraw talked of being a “blue-dog Democrat” and told People Magazine that he supported Barack Obama for President. He said, “My wife and I and our family will do everything we can to support Obama. I like his
ideas.”
Another ditzy chick.
The second amendment is not about wing-shooting, it is about the militia and the arms needed by the militia. Military arms so to speak.
Tim has the big hat. Too bad he doesn't have the brains to fill it.
First things first.
Can you name me one “country music” superstar performing today. I said country music.
An absolutely stunning, gorgeous woman who has absolutely no brains. I have always been a fan of this woman, but her adoration and slobbering over Obambi made me lose interest in anything she might do.
“Actually I think the Geneva Convention wanted to ban shotguns from use in wars.”
I think they may have actually banned them for combat.
The US military still buys shotguns. They can still use them to shoot civilians.
Speaking of common sense gun laws. Here is what is needed at the federal level:
Full tax credit for common sense purchase of gun safety gun safes.
Full tax credit for common sense purchase of gun safety gun training workshops.
Full tax credit for common sense purchase of gun safety training ammunition.
Full tax credit for common sense purchase of gun safety AR-15 training guns.
“b) trying to curry favor with MSM, Hollywood to become more than just country singers”
More likely that they are currying the favor of another fat Capo “Mogul” like Harvey Weinstein. Maybe they’ll bring back: “The Ballad of Irving, the 142nd Fastest Gun in the West!”
I read that you can attach a blender to the AR-15. As you shoot you can prepare yourself a drink. LOL
The only common sense we need on firearms is in the Second Amendment. Defending my life, my family, and my neighborhood is my God-given right and it shall not be infringed.

“George Strait”
Is he still alive?
Seriously, he is one. I forgot about him.

If she will listen to the Truth:
Gun Facts, be informed! No more excuses. Read the facts so you know when someone is just blowing smoke. The truth is mightier than lies!
Here is some interesting facts related to gun deaths in the US.
There are 30,000 gun related deaths per year by firearms, and this number is not disputed. U.S. population 324,059,091 as of Wednesday, June 22, 2016. Do the math: 0.000000925% of the population dies from gun related actions each year. Statistically speaking, this is insignificant! What is never told, however, is a breakdown of those 30,000 deaths, to put them in perspective as compared to other causes of death:
* 65% of those deaths are by suicide which would never be prevented by gun laws
* 15% are by law enforcement in the line of duty and justified
* 17% are through criminal activity, gang and drug related or mentally ill persons - gun violence
* 3% are accidental discharge deaths
So technically, “gun violence” is not 30,000 annually, but drops to 5,100. Still too many? Well, first, how are those deaths spanned across the nation?
* 480 homicides (9.4%) were in Chicago
* 344 homicides (6.7%) were in Baltimore
* 333 homicides (6.5%) were in Detroit
* 119 homicides (2.3%) were in Washington D.C. (a 54% increase over prior years)
So basically, 25% of all gun crime happens in just 4 cities. All 4 of those cities have strict gun laws, so it is not the lack of law that is the root cause.
This basically leaves 3,825 for the entire rest of the nation, or about 75 deaths per state. That is an average because some States have much higher rates than others. For example, California had 1,169 and Alabama had 1.
Now, who has the strictest gun laws by far? California, of course, but understand, so it is not guns causing this. It is a crime rate spawned by the number of criminal persons residing in those cities and states. So if all cities and states are not created equally, then there must be something other than the tool causing the gun deaths.
Are 5,100 deaths per year horrific? How about in comparison to other deaths? All death is sad and especially so when it is in the commission of a crime but that is the nature of crime. Robbery, death, rape, assault all is done by criminals and thinking that criminals will obey laws is ludicrous. That’s why they are criminals.
But what about other deaths each year?
* 40,000+ die from a drug overdose-THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THAT!
* 36,000 people die per year from the flu, far exceeding the criminal gun deaths
* 34,000 people die per year in traffic fatalities(exceeding gun deaths even if you include suicide)
Now it gets good:
* 200,000+ people die each year (and growing) from preventable medical errors. You are safer in Chicago than when you are in a hospital!
* 710,000 people die per year from heart disease. It’s time to stop the double cheeseburgers! So what is the point? If Obama and the anti-gun movement focused their attention on heart disease, even a 10% decrease in cardiac deaths would save twice the number of lives annually of all gun-related deaths (including suicide, law enforcement, etc.). A 10% reduction in medical errors would be 66% of the total gun deaths or 4 times the number of criminal homicides......Simple, easily preventable 10% reductions!
So you have to ask yourself, in the grand scheme of things, why the focus on guns? It’s pretty simple.:
Taking away guns gives control to governments.
The founders of this nation knew that regardless of the form of government, those in power may become corrupt and seek to rule as the British did by trying to disarm the populace of the colonies. It is not difficult to understand that a disarmed populace is a controlled populace.
Thus, the second amendment was proudly and boldly included in the U.S. Constitution. It must be preserved at all costs.
So the next time someone tries to tell you that gun control is about saving lives, look at these facts and remember these words from Noah Webster: “Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword, because the whole body of the people are armed and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. A military force at the command of Congress can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power.”
Remember, when it comes to “gun control,” the important word is “control,” not “gun.”
SHAMELESSLY STOLEN from another freeper in the last few months.
Did you get the belt-driven model?
The belt-driven models are the old version. The one I just got is nuclear powered with a russian miniature reactor from Uranium One.
