NRA to Congressional Gun Controllers: The American People Will Never Give Up Their Guns
breitbart.com ^ | 10/12/2018 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 10/13/2018 10:33:11 AM PDT by rktman

On Friday, the NRA posted a message for gun controllers in Congress and elsewhere saying, “We the People will never give up our guns.”

The tweet from the NRA comes as Democrats double down on gun control as a central message for the fast-approaching midterms.

The tweet coincides with Democrat Phil Bredesen (TN) running for Senate on a gun control platform in Tennessee and Democrat Beto O’Rourke running on a gun control platform against Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) in Texas. Gun control legislation sponsor Kyrsten Sinema (D) is vying for a Senate seat against pro-gun Martha McSally (R) in Arizona.

Moreover, Sens. Claire McCaskill (D-MO), Joe Donnelly (D-IN), Joe Manchin (D-WV), Bill Nelson (D-FL), and Jon Tester (D-Mont.) are all running for re-election with recent gun control support as part of their political history. Some of these Sens., like Nelson, for instance, are for bans on entire categories of firearms.

The NRA’s message to these Democrats and their surrogates in Hollywood and the establishment media is clear: “We the People will never give up our firearms.”

Had someone tell me at work that I shouldn’t listen to the NRA..... I explained to her that I, Me, and Myself are the NRA. She said she will vote for beta, I told her that I will cancel that vote. Not sure she even understood that reply, lol.

But but but, they are sure if they confiscate every gun from every citizen, the government will be just as successful at keeping illegal guns from flooding across our borders as they are at stopping illegal drugs from coming across and illegal aliens for that matter...err...wait a minute.

Part of the reason they’re all going down.

Democrats will pry our guns away only from our cold, dead hands.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Democrats thought gun control would be the big issue giving them control of Congress.

They chose.... poorly. Its an exilir as seductive as the quest for the water of eternal life and just as deadly.

Their mobs can threaten us with pitchforks. Guns are a great equalizer.

From Bret Stephens' editorial in the NYT today:

A party that can’t change its mind and won’t change the subject meets the classic definition of a fanatic.

As people continue to point out, it isn't about guns, it's about control, and nothing but complete control will suffice. We never see moderation on the issue from the Dems because there can't be any. Partial control is no control.

They want control over our lives. Gun confiscation is only part of it. They want to make sure we can never resist them.

Now vote!

Florida socialist/communist Andrew Gillum, running against DeSantis for governor also wants to ban certain classes of guns and highly restrict all others.

He, along with several other fellow travelers once debated who was the most anti gun rights.

Yes, look at Britain, guns are restricted and the crime rate goes up, so now there is a big movement to ban pointed knives. Sharp sticks should be next. They won’t or can’t see that the problem is with the person and not the object. But they have to control the access to knives, guns and sticks to control the people.

You can ban everything but human nature. Evil has been around since the world’s first murder and no one had guns back then.

Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., argued that prior proposals to ban assault weapons “would leave millions of assault weapons in our communities for decades to come.”
He wants to come after those who won’t willingly give them up to government

Will he be volunteering to join government “ officials” who will go door to door to confiscate them up from gun control scofflaws?

I like that. A nice twist on Molon Labe. Does it mean "try to take them moron's"?

If it's a simple misspell; I do my fair share too. I even leave words out sometimes. My fingers don't always get the message I send to them I guess.

We can never give up our guns. It would be the same as volunteering to put our heads in the guillotine.

Nothing good has ever come from gun confiscation or anti-gun laws. Nothing ever.

We're Americans, and generous. They won't have to come to our doors. We'll go to them. Count on it.

“They won’t have to come to our doors. We’ll go to them. Count on it. “

And these filthy politicians will be the first on the list. I wouldn’t want to be their body guards.

“MOLON” not MORON, but it gets the message across just the same!

Forgot the “SIC” behind it. But, you got what I meant. Maybe someone should forward this article to emma gonzalez since she seems to be more concerned these days with cars with “gun stickers” running her off the road. I mean I see it daily where cars with NRA stickers on them run cars off the road that have Obxxx stickers still on them from 10 years ag............ Oh, wait. No I don’t. ;0)
