Biden Again Wants to Ban Semi-Automatic Guns. When Will Fact-Checkers Apologize?
Townhall ^ | 11/29/2022 | Dr. John R. Lott

Posted on 11/30/2022 9:02:47 AM PST by VictimsRightsPro2a

“The idea we still allow semi-automatic weapons to be purchased is sick,” President Biden claimed on Thanksgiving Day. “It has no socially redeeming value. Zero. None. Not a single solitary rationale for it except profit for the gun manufacturers.”

With mass public shootings in just the last week in Colorado and Virginia, people naturally want to do something to stop these attacks.

But semi-automatic guns provide critical self-defense benefits. After each shot, a semi-automatic gun reloads itself. A single-shot gun, by contrast, requires manual reloading. This can prove a liability, especially against multiple attackers.

Semi-autos have been around over 100 years at this point. We aren’t giving them up because a dementia-addled fool says we shouldn’t have them.

And Semi-autos are an accommodation for ADA.

"When Will Fact-Checkers Apologize?"

When they face the people they've lied to, and not because they are sorry, but to avoid the noose around their neck.

They won’t be given up voluntarily in large numbers.

Any government that forcefully or coercively snatches them will receive unwanted donations.

The majority of gun owners are lousy shots and will be unable to disable an attacker with one round.

The ability to quickly fire off more than one round is required for self-defense in the modern world.

“ not because they are sorry, but to avoid the noose around their neck “

~~~~~~~

If they are not sorry, they ought not be allowed to avoid that.

“With mass public shootings in just the last week in Colorado and Virginia, people naturally want to do something to stop these attacks.”

Attacks can take other forms, such as running people over in a parking lot and driving off.

Risking a civil war is a dangerous idea. Biden should be removed under Amendment XXV as he is clearly mentally defective.

“Moron” the ‘did he do or did he didn’t do or say what he did or didn’t.’. Almost carmela-esque speakage. 😵

Exactly. Mayors and high level police officials will be in crosshairs or red dot, which ever you prefer. Bolt action rifles are preferred by snipers for their accuracy and ability to control the cartridge extraction. It took Oswald 3 rounds to commit a coup in the US with a $25 mail order catalog Italian rifle.

If our civic leaders attempt this, there will be a rifle behind every tree, every blade of grass.

We keep arguing facts and logic.
The left goes on emotion and virtue-signaling.

As long as we persist in this path, we will lose,
and ALL kinds of guns will ultimately be confiscated
(England, Canada, Australia.)

The ONLY thing that has saved us so far is the 2nd — and that’s under constant nibbling away, step by step.

But we seem to never learn we’re singing the wrong song.

Voluntarily is the operative word. Watch Trudeau in Canada. He will apply his COVID protestors strategy and digitally freeze assets of known firearm owners - part of the WEF’s “Great Reset”. DemonRats want the same in the U.S.

Notwithstanding the staff attempts to "clarify" his statements.

Question for KJP:

"Why is it necessary for the "pooper-scooper patrol" to come out and clean up after EVERY Presidential utterance?"

"And just who is responsible for determing that such a cleanup is necessary?"

In a televised hearing Jerry Nadler was chairing he was admonishing a fellow congressman for having semi-auto guns, claiming there is no need for them.

The congressman responded with "The second amendment keeps the peoples rights". Nailer then asked "Do you mean to tell me that you would shoot semi-automatic guns at American soldiers doing the missions we assign them to do?" The congressman said nothing.

Think about what motivated Nadlers line of inquiry? Think about the reason the constitution expressly forbids the standing army against domestic citizens. Nailer Ling left that thought behind.

A single solitary rationale for it is to keep liberty alive the founding fathers understood that very well it’s why the democrats want to remove them from us.

When you fear the government it tyranny when the government fears you it’s Liberty.
