I don’t want to hear people referring to the AR-15 as an “automatic assault weapon” and I want them to learn the difference between automatic and semiautomatic, and which kind is already illegal

You mean Senator Bill Nelson on FOX and Friends who repeatedly called this an AUTOMATIC weapon and yet HE passes laws on this stuff and he's an ignoramus?

Liberals/communists are not interested in an ‘honest’ discussion of anything. Period. There is nothing to discuss. Thanks for playing.

No. We don’t need a national conversation about guns, or knives, or cars or pipes or any other inanimate object that can kill. We need a national conversation about MENTAL ILLNESS and how much we are going to tolerate the mentally ill affecting the safety of society. Its easy to consider controlling inanimate objects-it takes guts to control dangerous people.

How about a discussion about the widespread use of psychotropic drugs in young boys instead, since that is the root of the problem?

We need liberal control since they can’t control themselves and do all these killings.

“If a gun control advocate calls for law enforcement to to confiscate AR15s from private homes, I want that person to realize that they are calling for chaos.”

No they are calling for civil war. Guns are the line in the sand.

How about giving the 2nd amendment equal stature as first? Where is call to end 1st amendment because someone says something that was not liked. Oh, on campuses and social media. Maybe they should read the constitution and study some history. Leave our guns and 2nd amendment alone.

Sen Bill Nelson is living proof that too much time in Space will shrink your brain. What an airhead.

We’rs working to defeat his sorry ass in November.

The willful ignorance on the part of gun grabbers is staggering. From a single thread today at Democratic Underground:

"I have yet to see anyone hunting deer with an AR-15"

"An AR-15 would obliterate any given animal and destroy the flesh."

"this particular weapon doesn't require practice for tracking a target, carefully aiming, and shooting precisely"

"If you need to hunt with an AR-15, you are a horrible hunter"

"AR-15s are for slaughtering, not hunting."

"No one needs an AR15 to hunt. That is like hunting with a bazooka."

The thread ends wita someone lamenting that a number of these absurd points are refuted with accurate information:

"there seems to be lots of those replying to this thread who seem to be very focused and knowledgeable about things that kill. A very sad commentary on our society."

The controllers want control.
That means you have to be disarmed.
By any means possible.
