Democratic candidates gathered in Sin City and went all in on gun control. Granted, it wasnt hard to do when the event was sponsored by gun control groups Giffords and March for Our Lives and the table dealer was a left wing cable news network that didnt even gamble their own ratings by putting it on their network. They live-streamed on the web instead.
If you missed it, I dont blame you. Still, theres some big election-year ideas theyre betting on.
Bans
The field split on outright confiscation. They must have noticed that U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) isnt at the table anymore after he championed the idea. Former Congressman Robert Francis Beto ORourke continued to double down, offering up a poll that says the majority of Americans support a mandatory buyback (read: confiscation). Ill take action on the bet they didnt ask the more than 16 million modern sporting rifles owned by law-abiding Americans. Those are the semiautomatic AR-15 rifles they vilify, different from the rifle employed by the military. ORourke isnt the only one betting on this. U.S. Sens. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) want in too.

Crossfire...hold the hurricane. Every anti-American totalitarian lives/sleeps somewhere.
Come and take them, b#tches!
Now there is a house that the Amazon package delivery man had better ring the doorbell ... rather nicely.
“.. that killed gun control. ...”
Well, stalled it, at any rate. They won’t back off, ever.
So we can’t either.
I would love to see a Trump ad asking the question, When sworn in as president we take an oath to support and defend the constitution. The democrats are running on destroying the Second Amendment. What else are they plannung to destroy?
“Presidents take an oath to ‘preserve, protect and defend’ the Constitution. The democrats are running on destroying the Second Amendment. After 243 years of Americans owning firearms, what are they planning to do that requires all citizens to be defenseless?”

Hell Yeah, Were Gonna Take Your AR-15
Who is we you weak-kneed, unchallenged, unipartarian, anti-American, Stalinist POS?
And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalins thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didnt love FREEDOM enough. And even more we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward. Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn ,

***Truth be told, they want to ban them all,***
And THIS is how they said they would do it, way back in 1976. One small step at a time. The only difference is now they are going after rifles, something they said they would NEVER do.
From 1976.

Im convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. Were going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily given the political realities going to be very modest.
Of course, its true that politicians will then go home and say, This is a great law. The problem is solved. And its also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time.
So then well have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, wed be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal total control of handguns in the United States is going to take time.
My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors TOTALLY ILLEGAL.

Yes, Im for an outright ban [on handguns].
-Pete Shields, Chairman emeritus, Handgun Control, Inc., 60 Minutes interview
HCI, around 1984, suddenly made a grab for the semi-auto rifles and shotguns, and missed But they showed their hand. As a result all gun owners know we are always up against a stacked deck.
I choose not to participate.
I have a written excuse.
“Pete Shields, Chairman emeritus, Handgun Control, Inc....”
Happily, this prick is now worm shit.
Then let’s just ban DemocRats from owning firearms.
That works too.
The unvarnished truth: if Democrats had their way, bolt action rifles would be illegal.
You are right.
Popularize the modern sporting rifles more (ARs, etc.). They need to be in common use to whatever extent possible. As per a decision written by Scalia, that’s legally important.
Yes. In a western culture country with western culture ingenuity, bolt action rifles could certainly be one of the greatest threats against tyranny or foreign invasion.
