Exactly. Just by being a veteran\active duty\physician\nurse\policeman\you name it, it doesn’t mean you aren’t or cannot be anti-American\incompetent\malicious\corrupt or greedy.

I think they have quit trying to use facts and are just raw emotion at this point.

“One shot from an AR-15 will collapse an elementary school.”

The new media control script was just published. Twitter is full this morning of "gun lovers" calling for more restrictions on the 2nd Amendment. Very consistent theme, slight variations in language.

They're trying to manufacture a "sea change in thinking among gun enthusiasts themselves". Through bogus posts and bots, they create a Twitter theme then report the trend they're manufacturing as if its news.

Expect to hear the new theme on the news all day. Look for a front page NY Times article tomorrow or the next day. Most likely, CNN is putting together an hour long special about it.

Somebody needs to teach the “cowboy” the difference between AUTOMATIC and SEMI-AUTOMATIC. “Automatics” like his have “Hopalong Cassidy” engraved on them with Hopalong’s picture on the stock.

A “former police and army officer” would know the difference. That’s why I think he’s now a paid spokesman for the anti gun lobby.

I just wonder why he’s a “former” everything. Sounds to me like he can’t hold down a job. He sure doesn’t sound like someone who was an army officer. I wonder which army he was in. The Salvation Army?

The fascist federal bureaucracy has a barn filled with useful idiots. When they need one to push an agenda, handlers pluck one from the stable, fill his mouth with mush and parade him around the farm where he’ll bark like a rabid mutt.

This fascist “army official” got paid his 30 pieces of silver and will soon own a new truck or car.

He's playing a variation of the phone trolls that would show up on CSPAN "I'm a lifelong Republican, BUT...". He has the right creds for the media -

But Democrats believe it could start to chip away.

 

"There are people who are going to support Donald Trump no matter what happens and then there are some Republicans who are more clear, thinking you were gonna say you know what, it's time to look for another type of leader in our party. I hope we have the latter," said [Collin County Democratic Party Precinct Chair] Spainhouer.

I think that since a gun needs a finger to set it off.

Per the Alec Baldwin defense, a gun can be modified that even if the trigger isn’t pulled it can go off.

/Complete Bullsh!t, I say, but he got away with it.

“Freezing the supply in 1986 made them unaffordable for just about everyone.”

That was the whole point of freezing the supply.

We all knew that at the time. PLUS it cut ordinary citizens off from advances in the field. As the UZI is a better weapon than the STEN so the MP5K is a better weapon than the UZI, but no full auto P90 for the serfs etc.
