Trouble: Trump Nominee Advocates Ban on Semi-Automatic Rifles
Posted On 08 Nov 2017
Dean Winslow, who was nominated by President Trump to be the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs, said in his confirmation hearing on Tuesday that he was not happy with the state of gun control in the U.S. today. In remarks one does not typically expect to hear from a Republican’s nominee, Winslow that he disagreed with a system of law that allowed anyone off the street to purchase a semi-automatic rifle. Speaking in front of the Senate Armed Service Committee, the Stanford professor and former Air Force colonel spoke bluntly in regards to the church shooting in Sutherland Springs, Texas.
“I may get in trouble with other members of the committee just say how insane it is that in the United States of America a civilian can go out and buy a semi-automatic like an AR-15, which apparently was the weapon that was used,” Winslow said. “I think that’s an issue not as much for this committee, but elsewhere.”
If the remarks weren’t disconcerting enough on their own, they were made more so by the fact that Winslow wasn’t even responding to a question about assault rifles in the first place. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen was, in fact, questioning Winslow about the military’s handling of domestic violence charges and whether shooter Devin Patrick Kelley should have received a dishonorable discharge from the Air Force after being court martialed. Winslow began by directly answering the question – saying the problem with Kelley’s access to a gun came from the Air Force’s failure to report his record to the FBI – before moving on to the above comments.
As Winslow predicted, his answer rankled several Republicans on the committee, including Chairman John McCain, who said, “I don’t think that’s in your area of responsibility or expertise.”
McCain was also troubled by a later Winslow assertion, that he was in favor of “therapeutic abortions” performed in the military.
“It speaks broadly to abortions performed for a recognized appropriate medical necessity,” Winslow explained. “Generally, when the life of the mother is at risk. That being said, this procedure should only be authorized as prescribed under existing statutory authority.”
“You better clean it up doctor or you are going to have trouble getting it through the Senate,” McCain warned, though whether he was speaking solely about Winslow’s pre-hearing questionnaire or his general demeanor before the committee isn’t clear.
Obviously, it’s not necessarily the point of the Republican-controlled Senate or the White House to make sure that every nominee to every federal post agrees with GOP doctrine on every single issue, but Winslow’s view of an AR-15’s public availability is way off the map. We’re not saying it speaks to his capability of serving as the top mental health man in the Pentagon, but we wouldn’t blame Republicans for moving forward very cautiously with his confirmation.
There goes the hunter’s vote! As if there are no semi auto rifles out there now! This is silly!
You’re silly. The peasants must be disarmed.
Hope that is (scar)
It is.
The peasants steal their guns and cars as they do not work .
Too bad what this dirtbag is happy with.
One guy gonna overrule 93+million gun owners possessing 500+million guns just because HE is unhappy ?
He could always go to Colorado, Oregon, or Vegas and smoke some happy plant instead.
A good guy with a gun, is better than a bad guy with a gun. And when you’re in trouble, what’s the first thing you do ?
You call a good guy with a gun.
New survey says about 119 million gun owners. Obama was a great gun salesman.
Wouldn’t surprise me if Obama had investments in gun manufacturers.
Lmao…… Me neither, wouldn’t that be priceless!!!!!!! I wonder if there would be a way to find out. Lol
I believe that a company must list their investors, but I don’t remember just how to get the list.
Hell, Obasturd was probably selling illegal guns to his street gang buddies in Chicago!
he SOLD/GAVE them to the drug cartels in mexico!!
Well, there among other places. You’ve got to wonder just how the Obama’s came into a great amount of money upon leaving 1600 Pennsylvania Ave when they didn’t have that much upon arriving there in 2009. I’ve always suspected that he (and others such as Holder) was involved in illegal gun running to gangs and such.
Of course 0bozo did, plus just plain steal tax payer money in any way he could.
YEP!!! Not to mention what else he could’ve taken too!
You believe that because you are a f**king idiot, Gomer!
NO, ALL of the F**king IDIOTS live in Santa Cruz and Liberalfornia and worship Ol’ Moonbeam, himself.
He and Holder provided them.
Have you heard any details on where the 5 BILLION ROUNDS of hollowpoint ammunition are stored?
The bamsters “OFA” groups have them relocated OUT OF GOVERNMENT CONTROL and into the hands of ‘antifa’ and other domestic terrorist groups he has set up?
I think everyone has forgotten about that but in time of need it would be good to know were it is in case you have a need.
It’s on a need to know basis…….. And I need to know. Thanks for your service Vol.
If by chance you find out were let me know lol when I run out I will know were to get a refill thank you sir.
Roger That.
Nothing surprises me any more about the evil within the man.
Largest demographic of new gun owners: women.
Yes they are. The world champion in 3 gun competition in the youth category is a 15 year old girl. There are a lot of women out there with guns that even this Marine wouldn’t get into a shootout with……. lol, just kidding, but their are some crack shots.
Marine or not;) I definitely know one gal, Lena Rosalie Miculek, that nobody, outside of a first class competition shooter, would come close to having a “chance” in any shootout. She took gold medal at the 2017 IPSC Rifle World Shoot in the Open division, Lady category, and two gold medals in the IPSC Shotgun Standard division, Lady category, from the 2012 and 2015 IPSC Shotgun World Shoot. Didn’t start competing until 2011, but been shooting since she was 8! The “lady can sling lead.” Semper Fi Dog!
Heard of her, seen a few articles with her in it, she is define try a Top Gun. Semper Fi to you too DevilDog.
Somebody should notify the local Marine recruiter, in Louisiana, that we have a potential top sniper already qualified for deployment, right after boot camp! I want her for my “over watch!”
She is what? You need to go back to your elementary English class. Shame on people who are born in USA. Read and learn.
She is what? A Top Gun shot is what. It was supposed to say “definetly”. Have you ever heard of spellcheck on your phone. So you just point out errors? How about “who are born in THE U.S.A.”, instead of born in U.S.A.
Marine nes need to bring her into the their fold…
Somebody should notify the local Marine recruiter, in Louisiana, that we have a potential top sniper already qualified for deployment, right after boot camp! I would want her for my “over watch!”
The issue here is does this lady have the training and temperament to go down for real. Paper targets pretty much NEVER shoot back. It doesn’t matter how technically proficient a shooter you are, unless you can harden your heart to the issue of taking a life you are not going to survive in a firefight
Training will tell, Jim T.
Marines, not hardened in boot camp, remember very few bak-in-tha-day not getting so, WILL be hardened in whatever “rice-paddy” they end up in! Not sure if my Marine Corps has adopted, sure hope not(!), the Army policy that allows a boot to “opt out” during training? The weeding out process, in Marine boot camp, does eliminate some – but most of those should never have been there in the first place. Just read, sadly, where we had a D.I. Gunny sentenced to 10 years for abusing recruits. Except for having put them in some clothes dryer (no such thing in my day), the “happenings” sounded pretty normal?
Yup, but a law abider need NOT worry about those modern day Annie Oakleys….
Grammar? I have no idea what you said
Sorry…….. Spellcheck on my supposed “Smartphone”.
what about grampar?
Can you read? You were born in 1959 and have no idea what ‘grammar’ stands for? Using your orange leader expression-SAD!
So sensitive, it was supposed to be a joke….
Yep, and many of us own a number of guns. I even won a competition when younger. Now simply train with my 38 and my 9mm and never leave home without one or the other.
I so want to buy one, Diane, but have n o idea where to begin. Do you think I should go to a reputable gun shop and ask for advice, first being taught how to handle a weapon, then on selection?
Not to horn in on Ms. Penn, but Absotootly! Don’t know where you live, however, even some urban areas have a place that sells guns and also has an indoor range. Some will even have a few “trial” guns you can test out with. Yellow pages list many. Be aware that it is extremely easy, especially for a neophyte, to be “underwhelmed” with, often times, bogus, incorrect information from “clerks” enriching you with “their awesum” knowledge. Don’t get sucked in at the first store, shop around, if possible. Seek out several “opinions.” In the meantime, be safe sister!
You did not horn in, Firewagon. You simple added some relevant warnings that are on target.
Might have also added, there are far too many less than knowledgeable, or at least unthinking, gunnies posting on this very subject. Caveat emptor, before accepting ANY advice on line!
I first went to an indoor shooting range and tried a gun or two..I could shoot better than I expected..My son learned at a shooting range he was using the wrong eye and even the service did not know that. Now he is good at shooting.
Excellent!y My grandson, who is right handed, is left eye dominant. Discovered by seeing him try to lay his head far enough over a rifle’s cheek piece in order to see the sights with his left eye. Did the dominant eye test, and he has been shooting left handed since. Good shooter! Many men, not just women, often attempt to “start” their indoctrination to the gun sport by using some “recommended” large caliber pistol (.45, etc.), or even the 9mm. The common result of this is an almost immediate start to having a “built-in” flinch. Many are surprised, never having experienced the effect, at the blast and recoil of the heavier caliber pistols. “Learning” to shoot a pistol well is a singular difficult process for most, adding the possibility of developing that “automatic flinch,” by starting TOO BIG, will all but limit your ability to shoot only at fist-fighting range! My personal progression was, in my day pretty common, from BB guns to .22 single shot rifles, side-by-side shotgun, which prepped me a little for my introduction to the 30-06 M-1 Garand in the Marine Corps. Sorry, getting mouthy in me oldt age. Said all that to say, most should start small in caliber, develop the correct principles of handgun shooting, and move up as their skills allow. My opinion, YMMV 😉 Final thought, if all you can handle is the .22 LR, know that it is no toy! At the time, a world record Grizzly Bear was killed with the “less powerful” .22 L (Long)! As they say, you can look it up.
I have had my 38 police special for many years and it was given to me as a gift. It is not registered but it did not need to be at the time I got it.
After I moved to Penn I applied and was granted a concealed carry permit and shortly thereafter bought my Ruger 9mm at a local gun shop. In both instances I had to fill out forms before I was cleared for my CCP and also to buy my weapon. I think to purchase a weapon in any state would required you now be vetted but not sure. Some states, like mine, allow private sales of weapons without being vetted or require registration of the sale.
You can find much info by entering in Google “gun laws’ for your state.
I might suggest you join a gun club at a local range. They have instructors and usually do a good job in getting you acquainted with proper handling of guns of all types. There too you might find you are comfortable with one weapon as opposed to another.
Diane
yes
Yes yes yes!!!
And shoot and shoot shoot. Get yes trained and proficient with it but in my opinion never get comfortable just knowing you have it. Always carry locked and loaded.

IF YOU USE A 1911 A-1 .45 CAL. THERE IS NO REASON WHY YOU HAVE TO LOCK IT- IT HAS A DOUBLE SAFETY AND WILL NOT FIRE UNTIL BOTH THE THUMB SAFETY AND GRIP SAFETY IS DEPRESSED WITH WEB OF HAND. ABSOLUTELY THE MOST SAFE GUN I’VE EVER SEEN. THEN THE .45 CAL ROUND WILL KNOCK DOWN ANY THING IN THE WAY. AND KEEP IT DOWN UNTIL THE SECOND OR THIRD ROUND CAN BE DEPLOYED. ITS THIN AND EASY TO MASTER WHEN NEEDING A QUICK TEAR DOWN FOR CLEANING OR OTHER. MAKES A REAL UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL GUT GUN FOR ULTIMATE DAMAGE TO TISSUE.
REMEMBER TO ALL NEVER GO TO THE GRAND JURY WITH THE OTHER SHOOTER OR ASSAILANT – GO BY YOURSELF AND TELL YOUR SIDE ONLY- THEN WALK OUT AND SAY HAVE A NICE DAY!! DEAD ASSAILANTS TELL NO TALES!! MAKE SURE WITH A DOUBLE TAP RIGHT OF THE LEFT PECTORAL MUSCLE. THAT’S A” NO” TO CONTINUE TO “THUMP” ZONE . IF ONE DOES NOT SUFFICE -THEN FOLLOW UP WITH A SECOND OR THIRD IN A TENNIS BALL GROUP- NOT EVEN SUPERMAN COULD WITHSTAND THAT AMOUNT OF LEAD PENETRATION THAT AREA. MAKE SURE TO SHOW POWDER BURNS AND ITS A SHUT OUT FOR THE BAD GUY!! GOOD LUCK LADY’S!!! REMEMBER LADY’S YOU NEED TO CARRY THE BIGGEST CAL. YOU CAN! YOU ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON YOU KNOW!!!
Why stop at A 45? Get the 1911 in 10mm!!! puts you right there with A 41 Mag. Talk about A 200gr bullet at 1250fps Talk about A STOPPER!!!
Had a Ruger 41 Mag. More powerful than a 44 in my book.
no it is not!!! close but no cigar!!!
I LOAD WITH UNIQUE- DAMN THEIR HOT- CAN’T USE CASES OVER VERY MANY TIMES- THEY STRETCH BAD
That way you can Unique on them 🙂
I load my 44 Mag with 12.2gr Unique pushing A 240gr jacketed HP
THAT WILL LEAVE A MARK!!
THAT’S A VENTILATOR ! OR SWISS CHEESE HOLE MAKER
As the tail goes in Brownwood Texas some 40 years back A Texas Ranger was testifying in court. The Defense Lawyer ask the Ranger why he shot the Defendant with A 45 and the Ranger answered because they don’t make A 46!!
SOUNDS LIKE A LOGICAL STATEMENT TO ME. HE TOLD THE TRUTH !!
Sadly many assume the 10 mm to be the equal of the 41magnum. NOT EVEN CLOSE YES THE 10MM IS A POWERFUL AUTO PISTOL ROUND. BUT THE TEST ISN’T EVEN CLOSE. THE WAY TO COMPARE IS 10MM HEAVIEST LOADS AGAINST THE 41S LIGHTER LOADS. Max grain weight commercialy available for the 10mm is a 220 grain round at around 1150. Now let’s look to the 41mag which also begins with 170 grain weight bullets. Right up through
250 grain & heavier ; such as Buffalo Bores 275 grain Hammerheads at around 1200fp.41 mags energy levels the diminutive 10mm can not compete.
So I guess you think the 41 mag is as good as the 44 mag or the 45LC?
There you have it, No comparison. My statement was it is close to the 41 mag out of a semi auto handgun.
That is all!!
🔫🇺🇸🤠🇨🇱
Could this be you’ve found something you have knowledge on – suggest you stay here and away from any other subject.
I had no idea that people, oops creatures, like you exist. Do you know the difference between PLURAL and POSESSIVE?
Stop telling us what to do. Women are humans with bigger brain than yours, for sure.
You all need to wake up-guns are for killing, There is no sport in it. Just tragedy.
I DON’T REMEMBER WINDING MY FIST UP IN YOUR PUSS HAIRS THAT REACH YOUR KNEE’S- WHO ASK YOU FOR YOUR F-ING OPINION IN THE FIRST PLACE. TRYING TO MAKE A NAME FOR YOURSELF HERE HUH. CAN’T DO IT IN REAL LIFE SO- AND IGNORANT ASS LIKE YOURSELF DOES IT BEHIND A GOODWILL SECOND HAND KEYBOARD. I DON’T GIVE A RAT’S ASS WHAT YOU THING BITCH OR LIKE- BY THE WAY YOU NEED TO SANITIZE THAT HAIR – IT SMELL LIKE OLD ROCKS YOUR LAST TRICK LEFT BEHIND.
You are just gross and fat. I am sorry that you only have been exposed to these kind of women. I guess with the name like yours what can you expect? Chill and learn some English. Your comprehension level may not let you understand what is written.
ps: The man who stopped the killer is real , you have no balls
Verbally abusive behavior usually indicates physical abuse.
YOU KNOW YOU ARE AN IDIOTS RIGHT? IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE 2 GUYS IN MY TOWN OF SUTHERLAND SPRINGS TEXAS NOT HAVING HIS ASSAULT RIFLE IN HIS HOUSE – THIS CRAZY PRICK WOULD OF GONE TO ANOTHER CHURCH OR STORE WHERE PEOPLE ARE DEFENSELESS AND PACKED IN LIKE SARDINES AND IT WOLD OF BEEN ANOTHER MASS KILLING BY THIS KOOK- BUT ONE OF THE CITIZENS OF OUR LITTLE COUNTRY PLACE HAD HIS RIFLE WITH HIM COCKED LOADED AND READY TO ROCK. HE STOPPED THIS FROM BEING A 100 OR MORE- WE ARE APPRECIATIVE TO HIM AND THE CITY HAS THANKED HIM FOR FOLLOWING HIM AND SHOOTING HIM SEVERELY SO HE COULD NOT CONTINUE. WE COMMENT THIS HEAR THAT STOPPED THIS KOOK – RIGHT ABOUT ON YOUR LEVEL. THIS WHOLE TOWN AND COUNTRY CARRY RIFLES OR HANDGUNS FOR OUR PROTECTION AND OTHERS FOR THAT REASON – IT WAS STOPPED WITH 26 INSTEAD OF 126 OR EVEN MORE. BUZZ OFF IGNORANT DEMO COMMIE!
Lady, get real! No one is telling you what to do. A WOMAN asked for suggestions, that’s what she is getting! DUH! Guns are for killing! Yes, that’s how people survived in the wilds and gathered meat for dinner. There are still parts of the world that do this. THE PC crowd is the one who domesticated wild life and preferred to call it a pet instead of eating it for survival! There are nutrients in meat that are NOT in greens! That’s ONE of the reasons there are so many new illnesses in the world! Who’s going to protect you when the SHTF! A person with a weapon! That’s who! I will never understand where you get the idea that everyone is a saint and will do you no harm! Better open your eyes!
Very wise…You could be the one to save many lives.
And they are good shots. ONCE THEY SEE THAT THEY CAN BAN ONE TYPE OF GUN, THEY WILL GO AFTER THE OTHERS.
WATCH OUT SUPERGUN – THEY ARE GOING TO JUMP YOUR ASS ABOUT YOUR CLEAR CAPS TYPING- OH WELL, HUH!!
LOL. Once they ban capitalism,,,,I mean CAPS, no pun intended, then they can ban the play revolver.
HEHEHEHE!!! THESE IDIOTS ARE NOT BANNING SHIT- THEIR ARE TO MANY CITIZENS AND HUNTERS IN AMERICA THAT WILL KEEP THEM ANYWAY- SO IT WOULD BE FOOLISH TO HAVE NO RECORD OF ANY OF THE MANY GUNS- THESE DEMO FOOLS ARE GOING TO KEEP FOOLING AROUND AND THE WHOLE SYSTEM OF GUN CONTROL AND FACT CHECKING WILL IMPLODE AND THEN THEY HAVE NOTHING.
I KNOW 5 WOMEN IN THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS HERE IN SUTHERLAND SPRINGS THAT HAVE WENT IN SAN ANTONIO TO A BUSINESS CALLED “A PLACE TO SHOOT” AND COMPLETED THEIR COURSE AND GOT THEIR LICENSE TO CARRY. IT HAPPENS TO BE RIGHT BEHIND THE POLICE ACADEMY FOR THE SAN ANTONIO POLICE DEPT. THEY ARE A GREAT BUNCH OF INSTRUCTORS THERE.
When Obama brought in the rapists from middle east it became mandatory for women to carry a gun everywhere.
No.
Those who lied about him were.
And, remember many of the 119 million gun owners, many of us own multiple guns!
I hope you use one on yourself. No wonder your husband killed himself. You’re an old cunt.
Oh, no! I would never do that to myself. But your remark begs the question, “Do you have the gonads to use a gun on me?”
Fat chance, that!!!!!
He absolutely was a good salesman. E’time He went on a tangent with new additional rules, sales at Cabela’s and Bass Pro shops and independents went through the roof !
Yeah, look all of the guns he sold to the drug cartels in the “fast and furious” fiasco.
Right. There is nothing like having a Pres. that sets up conditions of open borders and millions of illegal aliens living in sanctuary communities around the country to make the Citizens fear for their lives.
Why pay Colorado’s taxes on pot? It’s cheaper on the street and nearly impossible to prosecute illegal possession now in Colorado. The Cartels would be laughing all the way to the bank, if they could use banks.
CA, too, is going to tax it at 45%. Leave it to Moonbeam to tax anything and still beg for $7.5 BILLION from the Fed gov’t.
LOL. Whoda figgered that as soon as something is made “legal,” that the “tax man” commeth? “If it Moves, Tax it. If it Keeps Moving, Regulate it. And if it Stops Moving, Subsidize it.” Ronald Reagan
I didn’t quit smoking in ’67 because cigs were expensive, $1 a carton in the PX. Taxes on them were not that much. Today, what makes a pack of cigs 10 times that cost? NY prices reach the highest @ a $12.85 average, $4,690 a year for a SINGLE pack-a-day user! When I quit, I was into my third pack before every day ended. @ $14,070.75 a year, lets just say I could never live in NY, NOT that I would ever want to! Oh, fergot, between Fed, State and local, TAXES is the answer. As others may note, that famous Mary Jane stuff could actually get cheaper “off the street” than in the stores!
Favorite quote: “All a handgun is good for is to fight your way back to wherever the hell you left your semi-automatic rifle.”
Not me..I just grab my OWN gun. When the police are minutes away, my .45 ACP is a LOT faster.
“Backup” is an arm’s reach away. (locked and loaded)
ABSOLUTELY 100% – AMERICAN PATRIOT PROTECTING HIS AND HIS OWN FAMILY IS WHAT WE NEED INSTEAD OF MORE OF THE PUSSY’S IN OUR GOVERNMENT CALLING FOR GUN REMOVAL SO ALL THE CITIZENS WILL BE SITTING DUCKS FOR ALL THE LOW LIFE THUGS THAT WE HAVE TO CONTEND WITH EVERYDAY OF OUR LIVES. ITS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!!! PAY YOUR NRA DUES AND BUT THE MAGAZINE FOLKS- PREPARED YOURSELF FOR THE PUSSY’S OF THE CONGRESS AND SENATE TO BE IN YOUR FACES SHORTLY WITH THEIR ASININE GUN BILLS. IN ALL MY YEARS I NEVER HAVE SEEN A QUEER WITH A FIREARM WITH RHINESTONES AND RIBBONS- IF I WOULD OF- IT WOULD OF BEEN ONE OF THE IDIOTS IN THE CONGRESS OR SENATE TRYING TO STOMP ON YOUR RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS. . DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS AND TOSS THEIR ASSES OUT OF OFFICE.! FLY YOUR FLAGS AND STAND FOR YOUR NATIONAL ANTHEM PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS AND OVER ALL OTHER PROTECT YOUR HOME FAMILY AND PROPERTY FROM THE ILLEGALS OPERATING IN THE RURAL AREAS STEALING AND ROBING AND MURDERING LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZENS
All the Monkeys and their followers need to go back to the jungle . Those that support the USA can stay .Lets start with Obozo and Michael .
I’LL SIGN THAT PROCLAMATION – WE COULD GET RID OF THE HEAD MONKEY AND HIS PRIZE ORANGUTAN IN ONE EFFORT!! SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN DAN !!!
Great posting, SNUFFER!
Look out Snuffer! Mary wants to suck your cock!
On-point, Butchored !
Yea, why does he need so many golf clubs? It only takes 1 to hit the little white ball around! This guy has no clue about firearms. What each one is for. Just like all the clubs in his bag has a specific Purpose on the golf course. Each rifle shotgun or pistol serves different recreational or hunting purpose.

Dean Winslow, keep talking your bullshit and you will be looking for a new job.
Dean Winslow is right! The US should prohibit semiautomatic riffles as they allow killing many people quickly. Guns could be ok for personal protection but they should not be so powerful to allow mass killings, as we experienced recently on a few occasions. Moreover, semiautomatic riffles could be easily and inexpensively converted to automatic ones, as is well-known, and that is absolutely unacceptable.
you DON’T know what you talking about Peter.
a semiautomatic Rifle is no more powerful than a bolt gun, might fire more rounds but that depends on magazine capacity.
If they manage to ban semi-auto rifles, you can bet that bolt actions, lever guns and pump guns are next. I think they call that sort of thing “the slippery slope” or maybe “Give ’em an inch and they’ll take a mile”.
well.
by a THOUSAND CUTS those COMMUNIST DEMORATS are trying to disarm WE THE PEOPLE.
but WHEN they reach a THOUSAND IT WILL BE THEIR UNDOING.
So because of one mental case, no decent American should be allowed to own a gun? I guess, there will be no more cars, knives, forks, axes, planes, computers, electricity, and most of the luxury crap that people like you would no doubt die without. In fact, no more colleges since professors are responsible for more deaths with their snowflake bullshit than any other weapon.
You forgot pressure cookers, rocks, hands (for strangulation), axes, cast iron pans, baseball bats…..
No, YOU, and people like you, are absolutely unacceptable. And I hope it’s an idiot like you who knocks on my door to take my AR15 away… please, let it be you.
There was a frightening scene in the movie Schindler’s List when a whole platoon of German soldiers came down the street at night, their boots pounding the pavement, while the weaponless Jews quivered in helpless terror as they awaited their gruesome fate. I have never forgotten that scene.
If the Jews had weapons things may have gone a bit differently.
J22D Peter you are misinformed as are most concerning guns. As for Winslow, he should not be confirmed. Opinion politics are reaching epidemic levels. He is a product of the higher learning institutions of indoctrination. Death can be delivered in a big yellow rental truck. We are experiencing the Obama legacy. Remember the weather underground? This is truth that people struggle with, when they only see through there weakness. Ignorance is bliss!
Peter peter the shit eater, have you no common sense? Let’s make a deal you want to take our guns ok well I’ll give up my weapons when the USA has passed this point. When the number of vehicle accidents ( fender benders count) a year are less than the number of mass shooting & all alcohol beverages are ban & illegal in the USA then I will talk about giving up my guns. the other option is if all democrat/liberals agree to leave the USA for good then I may give up the guns. But we both know none of this is going to happen so we are going to keep our gun to protect ourselves against people like yourself. so shut up you are unacceptable Peter.
Bite me, Peter, you ignorant bastard! You obviously have zero knowledge about firearms, firearms law, or firearms use. First of all…it is RIFLES, not RIFFLES, you left wing moron. And just FYI, if YOU want to convert a semi-automatic (which you don’t know how to do) to full auto, go right ahead. Then you will be looking at a $10,000 fine AND 10 years in prison. That has been illegal for decades. What is unacceptable is people like you being up on your high horse and being so wrong about everything. Please don’t breed!!!
You are an idiot if you think controlling semi-auto rifles will reduce killings. The low lifes will find other ways to kill, such as renting a truck, and mowing down people in great numbers. What then? outlaw trucks? You are a MORON of the liberal variety.
Autoloaders have been around for over a century, Peter, and the currently-popular M15 type isn’t at all a “powerful” rifle.
WRONG MAN!
Screw him, have fun colletig them asshole.
zero liberals and very few conservatives realize the 2nd amendment underpins all our other rights. when the 2nd amendment falls the others are also history. the majority of the police will follow orders and probably most of our armed forces., the federal agencies would all follow orders just like good nazi’s.
Winslow would appear to be just another useful idiot democrat masquerading as a Republican.
He should be eliminated from consideration as he advocates usurping our individual Constitutional Rights, the first of which is the 2nd Amendment, which you can bet will be followed by other portions of our venerable Bill Of Rights just like any other tinhorn despotic sack of snake shit.
Wait, gun crime is at an all time low. They know this and are committing false flags. Governments have killed 170,000,000 unarmed innocent civilians in the last century and he wants to disarm the citizens? Wrong people bro.
And if they take up the guns could happen here as well no one pays attention to history so were bound to repeat it again.
The number of no-good lowlife sonsabitches, liars, cheats, frauds and just plain a-holes in politics today is appalling. I don’t think it has ever been worse in our entire history.
Spot on we have never in the history of this country been this divided and that goes to the saying divide and conquer seems to be working at the moment.
It’s bin going on since LBJ that things got out of hand and who knows how long before most of our time .
Did this moron come up with a perfect way to disarm gangs, terrorists & racists? If not he should not be confirmed, period!
For once, I agree with McCain. This guy shouldn’t be confirmed.
How about the new method of questioning ‘appointees’ begins with:
“I see you took and FAILED the Required test of Knowledge of the US Constitution, why would we lower our STANDARDS to allow you the seat you seek?”
Dean Winslow?
Perhaps you missed a few details on your way to the outhouse this morning.
Here are some original thoughts on the Right to KEEP and BEAR ARMS.
Tenche Coxe: “Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves?
Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man against his own bosom.
Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other
terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American… The
unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state
governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the
people.” – Tenche Coxe, The Pennsylvania
Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788.

hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it
will ever remain, in the hands of the people.”, Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20,
1788.
Tench Coxe: “As civil rulers, not having their duty to the
people duly before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces
which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their
power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the
article in their right to keep and bear their private arms.” in “Remarks on the
First Part of the Amendments to the Federal Constitution,” under the pseudonym
“A Pennsylvanian” in the Philadelphia Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789.
Rep. Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts: “Whenever governments mean to
invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy
the militia, in order to raise an army upon their ruins.” (spoken during floor
debate over the Second Amendment, I Annals of Congress at 750, August 17,
1789.)
Rep. Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts: “What, sir, is the use of a
militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of
liberty.” Rep. of Massachusetts,

Recognize any of the Names?
They are the ORIGINATORS of the Second Amendment.
Notice they made no mention of political correctness.
What do you Expect from a Stanford Dr. their not big fans of Guns seeing as they have to deal with the aftermath of it’s use most of the time. A Mortician wouldn’t have said anything because it’s good for his bottom line statement at the end of the year. But this guy is no danger of getting a job other than an Assistant Secretary of Defense of Health Affairs.JUST ANOTHER PAPER SHUFFLER for the Military.
Winslow has got to go, he speaks like a democrat !
Trump Dump this Schmuck Anti Gun owner PRO kill the child.( Are you freaking kidding me. ) Winslow is an ASS -HOLE This is the type of loser your Nominating For Pentagon’s top Health Care ???? HEY WAKE UP REPUBS, EITHER REJECT THIS NOMINEE OR GET DUMPED YOURSELVES IM 2018.
What a bunch of Elmer Fudds you wimps
A good guy with a gun just saved a lot of lives in Texas, why can’t these numb nuts realize that criminals bent on doing harm don’t obey laws!
Because the act has nothing to do with what they want. If you disarm the American People then you can walk all over then and do as you please its called tyranny and that is what the 2nd Amendment is all about not hunting.
We don’t need people like him in our government
Looks like POTUS team didn’t do a good job vetting this guy. Or he mislead them.
The man is a reactionary, kiss ass, idiot.
The majority of rifles are semi-automatic.
Ever see a bolt action .22 cal.?
Same with pistols.
I have two bolt action 22lr.
300 Winchester Mag . much better .
Must be nice.
Wish I did too.
why yes jimmy there are a veritable plethora of bolt action 22lrs out there, you must be new to the gun scene.
Sorry Bob, I was trying to point out that legal firearms shoot one round at a time no matter how they load the round and that about 1/2 of all sales presently according to the NRA are
semi-auto. That does not mean “assault” military style weapons like the AR-15 mentioned are fully automatic, military type weapons, like an M-16.
You are correct though that I am no expert. Just fed up with the reactionary hysteria from political representatives fanning the flames of what I regard as unnecessary fear.
Attitudes would change if we were invaded.
Believe I share your frustration. Few fail to realise the 2nd amendment underpins all our other freedoms. Thx 4 clarifying your comment.
Too many people simply cannot understand the meaning of the word “abridged”.
First I am A Nam vet who used the 16 very often. This is A war weapon. If you can not hit your game with one shot go back and site your rifle or learn to shoot. It is not built for accuracy it is built to pour as much lead in A general direction as you can. That it does quite well. This stateside is A boy toy and you can look at all the cool add ons that you can buy for it to prove the point. Old men looking for their glory days and boymen pretending to be something I prey to God that they never really know how horrible and sickening it really is to kill other men and sometimes woman. Myself I never that I know shot A kid but if they had an Ak in their hand they weren’t A kid were they. That being said it is time to put our toys away and be real soldiers and ban the sales of assault weapons to the generally to dumb to own one public.
You deserve respect as a combat veteran, Jim, but your aversion to autoloaders isn’t well supported by your argument. Yes, the M16s a true assault rifle (which is never utilized by criminals), but the civilian counterpart M15 isn’t capable of selective & full auto fire, so it’s not an “assault” anything. It’s a lightweight firearm chambered for an intermediate-power cartridge with low recoil, making it easy for ladies to handle, and the small caliber makes it an ideal varmint rifle, target piece, competition rifle, etc.
we have gunlaws of 1939 that would protect us if enforced. Why do various law enforcement agencies fail to enforce the 1939 gun laws? Congress is in charge of the US PATENT OFFICE that granted a patent on the bump stock.
Dean Winslow is a sorry excuse for a nominee. I am a female and support people who have handguns. It was a good thing that the fellow in Texas had his rifle on Sunday or more people would have died. Read your history people guns do not kill people. People kill people, mostly with knives, baseball bats, poison, etc. You do not know what is best for the people of this country. We the people live everyday lives and are more knowledgeable about what is happening than you do, so shut up.
Of course, we should force every American to carry automatic or semi-automatic rifles. This way we will solve the overpopulation problem before too long.
How come every year there are more and more purposeless blacks?
I am sure this comment must be purposeful coming from you, but I’m not sure for what purpose. Could you enlighten me, please?
All I know about enlightenment is Donovan’s ‘First There is a Mountain’…which is a silly interpretation of an even sillier Buddhist philosophy.
Speaking of which…did you hear about the Dalai Lama going into a pizza parlor and asking if they could make him one with everything?
It’s been a long time since I’ve heard that song. I prefer “Wear Your Love Like Heaven”, which I’ve also not heard for ages, & which probably is on a similar theme, though I can’t say that I ever paid that much attention. He was a rather quixotic quirk.
I must confess that I don’t get the Dalai Lama in the pizza parlor joke. Oops! Now I got it. Are you one with everything?
I believe that I am. At the very least, I subscribe to the concept of synergy.
American Patriots are wise to what is coming down the road.
That is why we must lock and load.
You can’t slay the dragons with a pea-shooter.
Can’t they find someone that supports the Bill Of Rights And Is an American?
Get the bastard out now, do not approve.
PASS HIM UP!!! ~ We can do better!
Bad people will always get their hands on guns and the ONLY way to STOP them is….
ARMED GOOD PEOPLE!!!
Jeeeez–us!…If a Trump hating, lying liberal RINO, like John McCain isn’t even happy with your liberal remarks, then you shouldn’t even be in the running for anything in President Trumps’ administration.
This bass-turd should be shackled and tossed off the nearest bridge.
Hello America we all have the right to our own thoughts. Does he have anything to do with steering gun control in any direction in his capacity as the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs? I think not. Therefore it makes no difference to allow the man to think for himself. That tells me that he is standing up for what he believes. I personally think there is no problem with what we have today. As long as that has nothing to do with his job, let it go. This is the FAKE news trying to hype up news that one of DONALD TRUMPS nominees doesn’t think like DONALD TRUMP, hello, no body thinks alike. Please, do not fall in the traps of the FAKE NEWS MEDIA…
Not gonna fly old man, especially when people are losing it on a daily basis. I only wish D.C. allowed conceald carry because our very own senators are being assaulted. I wish Scalice and Paul had been armed. We give a damn about you, how about doing the same for us? Our system has killed hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians abroad (setting a very poor example) and you want to mandate what level of self protection the good and non-violent 99.9% can have? How about better psychiatric treatment? I’ve heard the conditions in psych wards aren’t the most healing places for fragile minds, and the penal system creates criminals or makes them worse. It might be good people were told the truth about things, starting NOW. You can’t treat people like cattle, psyop, and gaslight them from cradle to grave, creating a world of chaos that makes no sense and expect that a few eggs won’t crack. We wouldn’t have such messed up people if everyone were kinder, especially to those who are downtrodden.
the reason for the 2nd. is so we can defend ourselves from the government Colonel…
Fire his Azz, Anti-Gun IS Anti-American, give them 1 inch and they will take a mile. Screw them!!
The only way they will take my gun is out of my cold, dead hands!!! If a good neighbor w/ a LEGAL rifle did not respond to the slaughter in Texas that monster would have continued murdering until he ran out of the arsenal in his possession.
The idiots who advocate gun control must be kept from any position of power. these people will surrender our country to those who will become more powerful than the US because of a bunch of pussies. If they had any guts they would remove all the law making judges and replace them with judges who enforce the laws and the punishments required, not sit on the bench and make their own laws. That is the job of Congress and there we need people who realize that all the laws they make do not stop criminals because they have no respect because the courts are afraid to punish these people. A perfect is Chicago, strictest gun laws in the nation yet the shooting deaths are the highest in the nation because criminals and gangs are not afraid of the courts because they know that they will not get punished. LAWS ARE ONLY GOOD FOR PEOPLE WHO RESPECT THE LAW AND COURTS. WE DO NOT NEED SOME ASSHOLE TELLING US WHAT TYPE OF GUNS WE CAN OR CANNOT OWN. AND WE DO NOT NEED SOME ASSHOLES FROM OTHER COUNTRIES TO COME INTO OUR COUNTRY AND GO INTO OUR HOMES LOOKING FOR OUR GUNS LIKE THE UN AND OBUMMA WANTED.
WHY IS IT THAT PEOPLE WITH SMARTS AND COMMON SENSE CAN’T SEE THE FOREST FOR THE TREES? ITS NOT THE GUN THAT DOES THE SHOOTING IT THE INDIVIDUAL WHO PULLS THE TRIGGER. IF IT WERE NOT FOR A GUN AND A KOOK WHO IS HELL BENT ON TAKING OUT A GROUP OF PEOPLE HE/SHE WOULD DO IT IN OTHER WAYS. FOR INSTANCE, THE SHOOTING HERE IN SUTHERLAND SPRINGS COULD OF BEEN MUCH WORSE IF THE KOOK WOULD OF USED A BOMB OR OTHER INCENDIARY DEVICE THAT IS READILY AVAILABLE NOW DAYS . THEN THE DEATH TOLL WOULD OF BEEN ALL 50+ FOLKS IN THE CHURCH- IDIOTS HELL BENT ON KILLING- CHURCHES ARE LIKE SHOOTING FISH IN A BARREL IF IT GOING TO BE DONE- WHY ARE WE WANTING TO FORCE THESE ASSHOLES TO GO AND GET A DEVICE TO TAKE OUT HALF THE TOWN. AND PEOPLE CLOSE OR NEAR THE PLACE WHERE THEY HAVE PLANS TO COMMIT MASS MURDER. MAKES NO SENSE TO ME- AND IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE 2 COUNTRY GUYS BEING IN THE RIGHT PLACE WITH HIS OWN ASSAULT RIFLE IN HIS TRUCK- THE KILLING WOULD OF NOT STOPPED WITH THE ONE CHURCH. THERE WERE SOFT TARGETS ALL OVER THIS TOWN-
DOES ANYONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND THINK FOR ONE SECOND THAT WE THE FOLKS WHO LIVE IN RURAL PLACES OUT IN THE BUSH AREA ARE GOING TO LET ANYONE TAKE WHAT DEFENSE WE HAVE FROM US. WE ARE THE LAW UNTIL THE LAW FINDS WHERE WE ARE CALLING FROM- THAT MIGHT TAKE AN HOUR . WE WILL TAKE CARE OF LAW AND ORDER UNTIL THE BOYS WITH THE BADGES COME AND TAKE OVER THE SCENE. I CAN SEE IT NOW – SOME GOOF OFF SENATOR OR CONGRESSMAN PUTS A BILL OUT TAKING OR TRYING TO TAKE THE FARMERS AND RANCHERS GUNS FROM THEM- THAT’S A JOKE IN ITS SELF!! WON’T HAPPEN IN THE COMMUNITY OF FARMERS I LIVE IN. A GUN IS A VITAL SAFETY ITEM- THAT EVERY SON/DAUGHTER IS TAUGHT FROM THE TIME THEY CAN HOLD IT ON A TABLE REST TO SHOOT AND HIT THEIR TARGETS- IN OTHER WORDS WE ARE TAUGHT “REAL SURVIVAL GUN CONTROL” THATS GUN CONTROL BEING ABLE TO HIT YOUR TARGET AND THAT ONE ONLY WITH THE FIRST SHOT!!! I WANT TO SEE THIS DONE! A RANCHERS/FARMERS GUN IS THE ONLY THING SOMETIMES BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH IN THE BUSHY AREAS AND FROM ASSHOLES THAT WOULD THINK OF SHOOTING UP A CHURCH OR A NURSING HOME OR ANY SMALL HEAVILY OCCUPIED BUILDING TO GET MASS CASUALTIES . THIS IS LOOKING LIKE A TREND IN AMERICA TO CONTACT THE WEAKEST TARGET WHICH IS CHURCHES AND SMALL MAXED OUT OCCUPANCY NUMBER PLACES. SOMETIME HE CAN GET 2-3 WITH ONE ROUND THUS HELPING HIS NUMBER COUNT TO GO UP BY 70% OR MORE WITH ONE ROUND.
I HAVE A PITBULL THAT HAS A REPUTATION AS A KILLER FOR ITS BREED- I ALSO HAVE A SMALL MEXICAN BREED THAT HAS THE REPUTATION AS A WANNABE KILLER. THE LITTLE CHICO DOG WILL PUSH THE PITBULL INTO HIS KENNEL AND STAND THERE AND WILL NOT LET HIM OUT. I CONSIDER AN ASSAULT RIFLE A NORMAL GUN- IT JUST LOOKS BAD ON PAPER IN THE PAPER OF BASS PRO SHOP ADS. THEN WE HAVE THE PRETTY GUNS THAT DO OR CAN BE CONVERTED TO BE AN ASSAULT RIFLE IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING. FOLKS LISTEN UP – ITS NOT THE UGLY GUN OR THE PRETTY GUN ITS THE IDIOT WITH THE GUN IN HAND DOING THE KILLING!
WE ARE SO WORRIED ABOUT THE GUNS KILLING- BUT WE ARE NOT WORRIED ABOUT THE AUTO DEATHS IN THIS COUNTRY EVERYDAY FROM CRASHES- AND ABOUT ILLEGAL ALIENS KILLING AMERICAN CITIZENS DOING THEIR RIGHTFUL THING IN THIS COUNTRY. THEIR ARE RIGHTFUL GUN OWNERS IN THIS COUNTRY THAT SHOULD NOT BE PENALIZED BY SOME KOOKS DOING THESE CRIMES. THE QUESTION OF” ILLEGAL” GUNS – OR ASSAULT RIFLES IS NOT THE QUESTION AT HAND.
THE WAY I SEE IT IF A NUMBER OF PARISHIONERS WOULD OF BEEN DAILY ARMED – THE SHOOTER WOULD OF BEEN NEUTRALIZED IN SWIFT ORDER- BECAUSE THEY WOULD OF HEARD THE SHOTS FROM OUTSIDE FIRST AND COULD OF BEEN READY FOR HIM WHEN HE ENTERED THE BUILDING. HE COULD OF BEEN TAPPED AT THE FRONT DOOR COMING IN OR SIDE DOOR. THE NUMBERS WOULD OF BEEN MINIMAL AT LEAST. THIS IS NOT GOING TO TAKE PLACE HERE IN AMERICA- THE RESISTANCE WILL BE TO GREAT FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO WITHSTAND. THEY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH AGENTS EVEN IF ALL THE GOVT AGENTS WERE TO JOIN FORCES AND GO DOOR TO DOOR AND TRY AND COLLECT THEM. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN- IT THINK IT BECOME ANOTHER BAD THINK IN TRYING TO GET THE FIREARMS AWAY FROM LEGAL GUN OWNERS. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN IN THIS LIFETIME!!! TO MONUMENTAL OF AN UNDERTAKING.
Sounds like another rino, these ass-hats should be made to take a course on the constitution and bill of rights. These knee jerk positions make most patriotic Americans sick of the political systems violations of our laws, constitution, and God given rights.
No mattter what Winslow states, that’s not going to change the minds of America’s gun owners, especially since that gun is a standard game hunting gun.
The issue has never been with the guns themselves, but those demented people who use them. Actually it was our Military that dropped the ball when sicko was kicked out of the service. They never informed the Feds abt his Dishonorable Discharge (whys, etc) thus enabling him to get any kind of gun. Tsk tsk Military. You are not on task – too many transgenders running the show?
Winslow is either out to lunch abt this whole event or missed our Military dropping the ball. Either way, he should be embarassed by his comments. He sounds more Liberal than any Conservative I know.
Trump made a mistake on this gun grabbing rino.
Maybe we need a regular, everyday American for the job that believes in the Bill of Rights and the Constitution..
We can do better than this creep!
Trumps nominees are quite the disappointment. If only he would remove Ivanka and Jared and would have kept Bannon and Gorka it would not be such a mess…He had the best of the best in his Cabinet and listened to Jared. Such a huge mistake…granted Jews are often smart, but definite that Jared is no Christian and will have wrong answers most of the time.
“….anyone off the street to purchase a semi-automatic rifle.” This former “Colonel” obviously had long ago been promoted far above his ability! As far as “Republicans moving forward very cautiously….,” how about NOT moving forward at all – check to see if Mickey Mouse, Lassie, or Donald (Duck) is available! This guy needs to have his “mental health” checked out before dreaming of running some mental health agency….
I was 100% for Trump before. It is 99% now due to this nomination.
A rational Republican. Who could have guessed?
Many years ago in boot camp the drill sergeants would wake you up when they came back from the bar drunk, make us do push ups, have us crawl under the barracks. They were very respectful for a while when we were at the range with live ammo. That’s all I have to know about the second amendment, it also protects us from our own government if they get out of control. You can’t defend your family with single fire cap guns.!!!!!!
Send this turd to the dug heap of history.
Constitution and laws written by congress define who can own guns and not some appointed secretary of whatever.
You’re FIRED.
Senate should reject his confirmation. There has to be a better qualified person to fill this position
Politician, Senator Angus King, from Maine said it right. Any semi-automatic rifle is nothing more than any other semi-automatic hunting rifle except the costume that different people put on their basic hunting weapon to include all semi-automatic’s and the AR family or the M16 family. Some like bi-pods or tri-pods, some want nothing, some like open sights, some like scoped weapons, some like large capacity magazines some don’t, some like them shiny and some like them black, some like sound suppressors some don’t, and the accessories/costumes put onto basic weapons, are just that costumes and there are hundreds. They all remain semi-automatic hunting weapons except for the look. Politicians should be made to go to school on weapons so they don’t sound stupid to there constituents! To fear something because of its looks is ridiculous.
no way should this guy be put in charge of anything
This guy is simply ignorant. This is one Trump nominee who should fail.
why in hell didn’t Trump’s admin. checkout this anti-2d amend. nominee beforehand? now he must be removed from this position before he can cause damage to our constitutional rights!! more careful vetting must be done on anyone being considered for a position in the current admin.
When I hear semi-automatic I know right away they’re full of crap. Except for bolt action rifles or pump shotguns where the operator must load the next bullet, all guns are semi-automatic. How fast can you pull the trigger?
OMG I agree with the Songbird of the Hanoi Hilton !! I never dreamed this day would happen., The nominee should stick to what he was nominated for and be QUIET about those things he has obviously has LITTLE knowledge if any.
This man should NOT have a part in President Trump’s administration!
How can he be part of our government when he obviously does not agree, nor defend our Constitution? And what does he define as a “therapeutic abortion”? There is nothing therapeutic about murder. Our Bill of Rights seems quite sane to me; Mr. Winslow based upon his stated opinions, ….meh, not so much!
So now they only want criminals to have semi automatic weapons, and if our government takes over totally they will have less resistance. Don’t they realize the second amendment also keeps our government in check.!!!!
Many can shoot but unlike the cops, will they??? USAF Ret
President Trump needs to replace this one. Obviously he wasn’t honest when he was interviewed. He had a hidden agenda. In other words he lied!!
Dr Winslow should withdraw ,and not waste anyone’s time.
Whoever vets these people should be replaced.
After he try’s to pull our cold dead finger off the trigger!!
🔫🇺🇸🤠🇨🇱
All of the false flags being perpetrated or allowed by the Dark State FBI/CIA are meant to terrorize the sheeple into accepting gun control – the last nail in the coffin of “TRANSFORMED & TRANSGENDERED AMERIKA” ; this can not be permitted: Armr========================== ? – – – we will be needing them against the Godless, Satan worshipping, power-mad NWO-elitist ghouls that besides being hell bound are hell-bent on controlling all of “US” and the rest of the world, the devilish bastards!
This clown dosen’t need to be placed in the position of garbage man, let alone anything any higher. The senate should leave him just where he was found and move on to a better nominee. We could do with far less of his type of “wisdom.”
Maybe this bozo doesn’t know the difference between an automatic weapon and a semi-automatic one.
After Trump getting a sore hole in his lard ass in Virginia, New Jersey and Washington, he will be lying to those who voted for him in hopes of attracting new Trumpsters for the next election.
At least the traitors to the CONSTITUTION reveals their selves. President TRUMP should withdrawn this person from his selection. He does not need anymore enemies.
Well said Butchored. Couldn’t say it better so “Let her ride”.RWP
The issue is very simple, when it comes to arms, President Washington, when asked, stated “all the terrible instruments of war are the American Citizen’s birthright, they are The People’s ‘liberty teeth'”.
While many others have valid opinions on many topics, some including this one, no one has a better grasp of the meaning of “government of The People, by The People, and For The People, than He, our first president, General of Independence, and “father of our Nation”.
It is imperative that “every nominee” for any office of government at any level from town, to Federal, fully support the Constitution in all its nuances, because if they don’t, they can’t legitimately take their oath of office. It is not enough to state the intention of following it, while finding it wrong, as an opinion, because no one in “office” has any authority to “initiate” any legislative action, a “government of, for and by The People”, demands a credible movement of “The People” demanding action, for any government entity to even consider change or alteration of “lawful common, precedented procedure.”
The moment an officer of government would “choose to alter, or suggest such is reasonable” they have ceased to be an “officer of government”, and become an activist for a cause, and must resign. We have allowed “Our government” become it’s own master by failing to eject all those in office who suggest they have authority we have not specifically given them.
There is a good reason the office of President is also known as “Chief Executive”: the person in that office is responsible for executing the will of “The People”, as we have presented to Congress, in our demands, and which must be considered according to the volume of demand, but only if the demands don’t contravene “the enumeration of Natural rights” of our “Bill of Rights”, an enumeration, not constitution allowing, not “constitutional privilege”, as so many liberals would have it be.
This man was unqualified to be an officer in the Air Force, unless he came to his perspective after he left, had he “developed the idea” while active in the Air Force, his idea contravening the first most crucial issues of Constitution demand such a person relinquish their oath in resignation, as they can’t swear to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States, against all enemies, foreign and domestic”, while holding an opposition perspective, and thus being “a domestic enemy of the Constitution”.
We have this fascist current central government, which routinely rules over “The People” without second thought because we have utterly failed to live up to our own responsibility to “throw the bastards out”, when we discover their perfidious lies regarding their belief system.
Semper Fidelis,

i am glad someone has common since if you can not hit your target with one shot then you should not have fired it
It scares me when I find myself agreeing with something that McCain says.
This roach belongs In Gitmo.
With guns, we are citizens. Without them, we are subjects. I love those words and the person who wrote it. I myself never want to be a subject and will to my dying day always say this, guns don’t kill people, people kill people. No matter what laws you have they will be broken by criminals as they don’t abide by our laws in the first place. God bless the law abiding gun owners of this country.
try someone else,he’s a lib.
Hey dumbo, only gun owners that obey the law will be hurt by your dumb opinion.
People who break the law will have automatic rifles. Your idea will get more people killed. This country now is filled with more hatred than I can remember in 80 years.
How well did prohibition work??? How are the laws on drugs working? If you want something that is illegal, you can find someone who will get it for you..You really can’t be that stupid. I think you want to get rid of legal guns so the government can take complete control of its citizens with little opposition. I know trump made a bad decision in appointing you to anything other than latrine orderly…
Politician, Senator Angus King, from Maine said it right. Semi-automatic hunting rifles go back over a hundred years. Any semi-automatic hunting rifle is nothing more than any other semi-automatic hunting rifle except the costume that different people put on their basic semi-automatic hunting weapon. This includes all semi-automatic’s regardless if they are the AR family or the M16 family, the AK-47 family plus to many more semi-automatic hunting and competition rifles to count from all over the world. Some hunters like bi-pods or tri-pods, some want nothing, some like open sights, some like red dot scopes some like scoped weapons, some don’t, some like large capacity magazines some don’t, some like fore grips some don’t, some like different types of butt stocks some don’t, some like different hand guards some don’t, some like an under barrel shotgun some don’t, some like attached flashlights or laser’s some don’t, some like them shiny and some like them black, some like sound suppressors some don’t, and the accessories/costumes put onto basic semi-automatic hunting weapons, are just that costumes and there are hundreds available. They all remain semi-automatic hunting weapons except for the look. Politicians should be made to go to school on weapons so they don’t sound stupid to their constituents! To fear something because of its looks is ridiculous. This train of thought is about as stupid as, “The Seventh Circuit ultimately upheld a ban on many common semiautomatic firearms based on speculation about the law’s potential policy benefits,” Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas wrote “If a broad ban on firearms can be upheld based on conjecture that the public might feel safer (while being no safer at all), then the Second Amendment guarantees nothing….The overwhelming majority of citizens who own and use such rifles do so for lawful purposes, including self-defense and target shooting. Under our precedents, that is all that is needed for citizens to have a right under the Second Amendment to keep such weapons.”
In America’s culture we have advanced from single shot powder and ball type hunting rifles, to single shot bullet hunting rifles on forward to semi-automatic hunting rifles. There has been invented, different sizes, different lengths long or short barrels, fat or thin barrels with every imaginable accessory to enable the shooter to bring home the game or to win at his sanctioned rifle competitions. The majority of decent people use their weapons at the ranges perfecting their accuracy, preparing for marksmanship competition and preparing for hunting season. In marksmanship training you need the same guns as your competitors have or you will lose. BUT REGARDLESS THE LOOK OR CAPABILITY, THEY ARE ALL BASICALLY “SEMI-AUTO HUNTING RIFLES.” Ignorance of our culture of hunting and competition by the Judiciary and our Politicians and the extremely important role of marksmanship training, that has prepared millions of Americans to better defend their country is a great necessity and the role of the semi-automatic hunting rifle is indispensable. All gun laws are applicable to the law abiding citizen’s. Regardless of what law is passed, the authorities are never going to get rid of the guns. IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN! If you can find them and take them, people will go out and buy one in an hour in the black market. Our politicians need to help the law-abiding citizens be able to protect themselves and stay within the law. GETTING RID OF GUNS WILL OPEN UP AMERICA AS A SOFT TARGET FOR THE GANGS, CROOKS AND MUSLIMS. Who does the killing, mental misfits. Of all these slaughters that have happened, how many have been NRA members? NONE, right, NONE. How many have been everyday decent people, one or two. How many have been refugee’s, illegals and MUSLIMS, most of them. Hopefully the GOP will realize this and stop the gun hysteria so we good decent God-fearing people can have our guns to protect ourselves and our families. The gangs, Black Muslims and the Muslims are bringing guns into America by the thousands. Without being able to protect one self, there will be a blood bath of honest, decent, law abiding, God fearing Americans. There is nothing anyone can do about a deranged person with some real or imaginable vendetta in his/her mind, but you should have the ability to have a gun to give yourself a chance of survival.
WINSLOW GO TO HELL YOU WILL NEVER DISARM AMERICA !!!!!!!!!!! LAND OF THE FREE AND HOME OF THE BRAVE!!!!!!!!!US ARMY VET !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trump is making big mistakes on the appointees of his…Who is now advising him…Get that person out of there and I do mean the Generals too.Trump had to follow his gut until he hears from God.
President Trump, please withdraw that bums nomination. We cannot have a liberal bum in that position! Why don’t people wise up and just keep liberals and democrats from purchasing guns. All Second Amendment adherents should be the only ones to be able to purchase guns.
The Right to Keep Arms (2nd A) is to Protect the citizens from a Tyrannical Government!!! That means any firearms!!!
If I where President Trump, I would think twice on Nominating a Gun hating dude like this, Remember your Promise to protect our Second Amendment rights, this is not the right Person for this Job,, The only good thing about this Guy he was honest about his stand on Guns, Where most of these Gun Grabbers would lie just to have a chance to Screw the law biding honest Tax paying Gun owners
winslow should be removed as a candidate ( NOW )
This is the problem, he is a Stanford professor and former Air Force colonel. Most officers are stupid.
It was a “good guy” with his own AR 15 that stopped this psychotic coward. This is always overlooked when the gun grabbers make their pitch.
I would not be too upset. If a custodian has certain beliefs how does that affect our law of the land. This appointment is for “Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs” and how would that person direct anything that is contrary to the stated goals and direction of the ‘Secretary of Defense”
Belief is one thing but how it is implemented or how it influences outcome is another.
Yes, move forward very cautiously. Then reject.
What is insane is the fact that so many politicians and all democrats refuse to think that citizens can act responsible with weapons and that there are some who cannot! Those that cannot should be facing the death penalty for killing innocent people,but that goes against the democrats and RINOs agenda of having a means to disarm citizens to maintain control!
Answer the question that you were asked,you do NOT need to add your liberal opinion.This low life should not have been able to purchase a weapon of any kind.The government screwed up.This really makes me wonder not whether they screwed anything else up,but how many times.Very many I’m thinking.As for your opinion its mind over matter”what is in your mind DON’T matter”.The weapons that I own have never killed anyone.
Hear it; we go again back to sticks and stones and nasty words just like the undertaker does when he puts you out of the picture where the sun don’t shine no more!
Try to outlaw what you want, but don’t make the mistake of coming for mine. Of course, that’s what the leftist deviants want to do, disarm the right. Make NO mistake, its NOT about gun control, its about control….
his very admission that he is not happy with the Constitution should make him ineligible to hold any government position.
Either Trump revokes his nomination, or his conformation blocked.Simple enf
Winslow, if you’re “not happy with the state of gun control in the U.S. today”, you should get up off your stupid, prejudiced ass and start enforcing the gun control LAWS that have already been on the books for DECADES. You open your fat mouth to have your “15 minutes in the spotlight” without even knowing WTF you’re talking about. I hope Donald Trump cans your ass, posthaste!
.
Not going to happen.
Frank
I wonder why it is approiate for the democrats to appoint only those who follow their rules and regulations but get POed for the republicans to expect the same of their nominees.
Dean Winslow is nothing but a looser!
No to Winslow. Americans need this firepower to protect us from our tyrannical government. The founders wanted it that way
Take him down…….
He may be a republican, but he is not a conservative, nor is he a good American if he dislikes the Amendments ALLOWING us our natural freedoms. I hope Trump pulls him out and appoints a real American instead of the fake one.
He is using the gun issue to cover his buddies who failed us in the Air force. They should have reported their cracked pot they released on us to the FBI. If they had he would not have gotten the rifle in the first place. There are better nominees. Get someone who agrees with our views we don’t need him.
Dean Winslow withdraw his name.
Another establishment communist being slipped in by the nwo gangsters in the hopes that no one will notice.
Guess thats why the nitwit only got to Colonel in 20+ years,Try and take away any of OUR GUNS and we’ll vote EVERYBODY out of office EVERYBODY,you’ve been a Senator for 24 years TOO BAD,YOUR DONE!And Unless You Are Pro-Gun You’ll Never Ever Get in as even DOG Catcher,100 Million Votes Can Change the Face of the Polictical Scene in the Right to Keep and Bear United States!
President Trump’s “people” should do a better job of vetting on those whose opinions are likely to sway the attitude of the the majority.
So, if the shooter had managed to obtain clearance for that particular weapon, no one else should either, and the good guys should cross their fingers and hope that that their weapons are “adequate” to do the job.
Do you think ISIS will respect this restriction?
All aboard for LaLa Land!
