Setting aside the question of why Schuner wants Americans to be vulnerable: Why that particular agency to be in charge of it?

To sum it up: The Left wants you to be unable to protect yourself with a firearm AND if bullets are fired at you. I feel so much safer with these ideas.... (barfing chunks)

No worries there Ben, they’ll create an entirely new bureaucracy with 10’s of thousands of new democrats, I mean employees.

The eternal solution:

Give up MORE of your freedom.

It’ll work THIS time, we promise.

The attempted coup?
The #1 witness murder

Pay no attention.

Body armor? How many of their “mass shooters” are still alive? They normally take themselves out once a good guy shows up with a gun.

Because making your own body armor is such an insurmountable technological challenge. ..

Didn’t the Orlando nightclub shooter attempt to buy body armour shortly before his bloody rampage?

The question you set aside is what truly needs to be discussed. I am becoming more and more confident everyday that it is all based on a deep population control agenda. They want to lower everyone’s safety and life expectancy by making everyone a helpless defenseless victim so more lives are lost. I can no longer consider this a conspiracy theory, everything they do seems to directly or indirectly work towards a population control agenda.

One of the musicians working with Bob Dylan got a present from him. He decided it must be a rare musical instrument or something. He opened it and it was a Kevlar vest.

Bob Dylan wears these and has really aggressive security men including plain clothes ones ahead of where he was walking.

Once an obsessed woman stalker cashing checks as Mrs.Dylan came up in a back freight elevator in his studio and was about to kill him. Wrestled down.

Quote: “I have guns. The gun control laws they are passing do more harm than good. They leave the people unprotected they are supposedly trying to help.

He got especially turned off when crazed fans were breaking into this house, hanging upside down from the roof to peer into his rooms and one couple was caught still in his bed when he and his wife came home and turned on the lights.

The local police said:”If you harm an intruder in any way it will be your fault and we will arrest you. We can’t do anything to stop them until they commit a crime. You can’t do anything against them.

He said to an interviewer: “They’ll have a surprise if they try to get in again. I’m ready for them.”
