As usual. Similar to many gun owners for gun control when they begin their sales pitch for whatever "common sense laws" and "reasonable restrictions" they favor, the main clause and subsequent comments belie the prefatory clause or statement.There's that phrase again: "I absolutely and positively support the Second Amendment. Americans have the right to bear arms, but ... "
Well now, that's very gracious of you. However, any purchasing or ownership decisions will be made without your blessing, comrade."To all of you gun lovers, feel free to go buy your Glock, shotgun, hunting rifle, .22 pistol, .357 Magnum or any of the other guns at your disposal."
It's the Bill of Rights, not the Bill of Needs.But you do not need an AK-47.
No, it's a high-powered sniper rifle! Eeek! Run for your lives! It has killed before, and will kill again!Is my 03 Springfield an assault weapon? It quite likely has killed men in war.
It's a semi-automatic, so that makes it a highpoweredbulletsprayingbloodinthestreets instrument of death that no one reasonably needs. And of course that General liked it, 'cause he was a capitalist imperialist warmonger who couldn't visualize whorled peas! And you probably are, too!Same goes for my Garand. Is it an assault rifle? Obviously Patton quite was quite impressed with it.
What American's don't need is the Communist News Network.
If it's an "epidemic", how can it be out of sight? But for the 24/7 trumpeting of things like Aurora, most of us would have no experience of gun violence at all.Gun deaths here have reached epidemic levels, and too many of us have an out-of-sight, out-of-mind attitude.
By the way, who is this idiot, and why should the average American give a rat's ass about his opinion?
Bottom line...like everything else, the executive branch shouldn't be the primary concern of gun owners - its the legislative branch, followed closely by the judicial branch.
