When a democrat says “take on the NRA” thry mean “take on the Second Amendment”. I guess the ACLU skips that amendment when they choose which ones to defend.

From what I’ve read only 23 or so people out of 1.2 million gun owners have. If the (D)’s really want to see a revolt they should attempt to try it here.

We saw how the banning of AR-15's went recently in Boulder, CO.

Very few complied.

Many US politicians are dumber than dumb.

If it ever did come down there’d be a whole lot of boating accidents.

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 Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

It is an interesting contrast of beliefs;

-Liberals want to capture a mass shooter and give him room and board for the rest of his life, and disarm everyone else who was not involved.

-conservatives want, if the shooter survives, to publically hang the mass killer in public, by piano wire, as an example.

Why is it so wrong today to want retribution and justice as a, and in the form of a deterrent? And don’t tell me the left doesn’t believe in capital punishment. They have eliminated their adversaries with industrial efficiency in the USSR, Red China, and Cambodia to just name three.

They also cheered when Ferdinand Marcos registered and confiscated guns in the Philippines back in the early 1970. They wanted the US to do the same thing.

Then Marcos seized power and the news media went into hysterics.

I still remember 1962, and the first call for handgun registration, and the words “Long guns will not be affected!”

Back in 1981, actress Lee Grant, on Good Morning America, poked holes in the air and yelled...”THE NRA IS A RIFLE ORGANIZATION! THEY SHOULD GIVE UP THEIR HANDGUNS AND THEY CAN KEEP THEIR RIFLES!”

Then the cast their lustful eyes on the private ownership of rifles...

They’re RATS and Quisling Republicans, that’s what they do.

Well, luckily we are not a dictatorship and we have a constitution. What these politicians are doing is simply outing themselves as anti-American.

I feel sorry for New Zealanders as they are proving to be sheep, led by a dictatorial government. Then again, maybe not, as other reports posted on FR earlier today say only 37 of million-plus guns have been turned in.

Maybe the current New Zealand government will shortly find their days in office numbered?

Yes, a disarmed population is at the mercy of the government.

New Zealanders should be asking why they cannot be allowed to defend themselves when it appears the police took 17 minutes to respond. Granted, no member of the Islamic cult should be allowed firearms, but surely others might have been nearby and quicker to put a stop to the killing than what occurred.

Try it here. I’m old. If a confiscator doesn’t live up to his role I will invoke the 2nd Amendment as my defense.

“...U.S. Politicians Cheer New Zealand Gun Confiscation...”

Well, of COURSE they cheered it... The Kiwis didn’t shoot back.

So cheer away. Just remember one thing:

We ain’t Kiwis.

Just sayin’....
