exactly- they aren’t militarized weapons- they are civilian arms- which is why they are legal, precisely because they aren’t militarized, ie fully automatic

Suzy soccer mom in her minivan doesn't give a s**t about the pedantic definitions of assault weapons, military arms, civilian sporting rifles, magazines, clips, and the rest of all this minutia.

"Does it look like an army gun?" she'll ask. "Then ban it."

Warner’s a Demonicrat and thus a traitor. He lies like normal people breathe.

“I read that the shooter used 20 round magazines because the bigger ones wouldn’t fit in his duffle.”

When you’re a gunman in a “gun free zone”....you have
all the time in the world to change magazines.

“It was democracy in action, not just in Washington but all across the country yesterday.”

Being a stupid horse-toothed carpetbagger i dont think he quite understands what this means.

I am trying to remember an old quote about “Congress is in session, and no man’s property is safe!”

Found it.

“no man’s life, liberty, or property are safe while the Legislature is in session.”
— Gideon J. Tucker, Final Accounting in the Estate of A.B. (1866)

Confiscation is coming in one form or another. Only question is if “Free America” puts up a fight - or meekly rolls over.

There should have been hundreds of thousands of gun owners in the streets yesterday carrying signs and gettin in people's faces. There were a few but not enough. I wasn't there. I should've been. We all should've been.

Are gun owners going to put up a fight in the face of losing their jobs, their savings accounts, their homes, having their kids taken away from them? Losing their freedom? Losing their lives?

I know we all think we're going to turn into a bunch of William Wallaces screaming "Freedom!" but we couldn't even attend a rally yesterday as Tide pod-eating teens bellowed that they're coming for our guns while the media cheered them on.

The whole thing is depressing. We'd better get serious.

Why are these racists only crawling out of the woodwork after a bunch of WHITE kids were gunned down? It’s not like there haven’t been plenty of young minority victims of gun violence over the years.

Gun owners don’t demonstrate. They reload.

Red Dawn is a cult classic. It may be dated and cheesy but there are some very important lessons to be learned. The analogy is a good one. Removing 2A or at least making it useless is akin to an invasion by the enemy who swoop on in as we have zero chance to repel it. The greatest threat to America since 1945 has always been the Leftist no matter what “ism” it spawns.

The enemy that “swoops in” will be a domestic one. The make-up of that domestic enemy i’ll leave to your imagination.
