You Don’t Get to Shoot Us and Then Take Away Our Guns
Posted On 19 Jun 2017
The left typically calls for stricter gun control measures after any sensationalized shooting, usually missing the actual reasons for the shooting in the process. This is annoying when it’s your average, mentally-ill whacko, really aggravating when it’s an Islamic terrorist, and fairly outlandish when the killer didn’t even use a gun. But for them to do it after last Wednesday’s attack on Republican congressmen really takes the cake. One of their own loonies comes out to shoot conservative politicians…and then they want to use THAT as a jumping-off point for a gun control debate? Um, how about not.
Of course, it wouldn’t really matter if the guy had attacked Republicans, Democrats, or farmers. The guy was clearly out of his mind and the Capitol Police did the world a favor by sending him into whatever lies beyond this world. At least he’s out of this one, and he will do no more harm to those of us lucky enough to still be around. And while we should not ignore the effect outrageous liberal propaganda had on his already-violent mind, the reaction to an incident like this should never include a clamp down on freedom. That includes freedom of speech.
But that ALSO includes the right to bear arms. No matter what the shooting or what the reason, our response to a tragedy needs to stop being a kneejerk attack on the Second Amendment. The NRA didn’t shoot Steve Scalise. An inanimate gun didn’t hop on a bus for Alexandria. This was an attack carried out by a person, and if he hadn’t used a gun, he might have used a van, a hatchet, a bomb, or any of a million other weapons – legal and illegal. And frankly, even if he had been somehow prevented from buying a gun through the usual channels, he could have found a way to get one through other means. If you’re willing to commit murder, you’re willing to break the existing gun laws in your area.
In the Los Angeles Times, the editors wrote, “This incident brought some of the most powerful members of Congress into intimate contact with what has become a common part of American life. But we hope that the next time the NRA lobbyists visit congressional offices with their guns-for-everyone agenda, they are greeted by members of Congress who are far more skeptical and probing than they have been in the past.”
First of all, this is in no way a “common part of American life.” It may seem that way when you watch the news, but does it feel that way in your community? Have you EVER been shot at? Have you ever KNOWN anyone who has been shot at on American soil? The people who can answer “yes” to either of these questions are few and far between, thank God.
And you know, we’d like to keep it that way. But that doesn’t mean we can’t prepare ourselves for the possibility that it will happen. If it does, it will probably only happen once. That means, you had better be ready the first time. It is our right as American citizens to have that readiness. So don’t think for a second that one of “your” lunatics can shoot at us and give you the license to take away that readiness. Sorry, but it just doesn’t work that way.
With the left becoming increasingly violent in words and deed, the last thing people are going to give up is their right to protect themselves.
Is anyone really surprised that they’d take advantage of ANY opportunity to further erode lawful, and constitutionally granted, gun rights.. You all know the comeback, ” just say NO!”, lowd and clear. Vote the egotistical “one worlders” OUT of any position of influence, permanently!!
While I agree with you, the right bear arms is not constitutionally granted. God gives us that right. The constitution says that government cannot infringe on that right. The government is acting illegally!
That’s a refreshing point of view. I don’t know you, but I like the way you think.
Plain English, yes, what they’re doing is unconstitutional. The big problem is, they’ve been doing it for decades and getting away with it. The precedent, allowing this, has been set, repeatedly.
It doesn’t preclude making it right, but it makes it all the more difficult. You and I read the clear and unmistakable language, “shall not be infringed”. We then find that the common sense interpretation ha been convoluted by attornies, politicians and the courts They argue over “original intent”, without bothering to examine the historical writings of the founders where their “intent” is crystal clear. They rewrite, so to speak, to have it fit their desired meanings. Ludicrous definitions, like “it depends on what is is”, are interjected to further obfuscate any reasonable interpretation. Finally, we have the social engineers who insist that our founding documents are “living documents”, or are antiquated, and must change to meet the changing needs of society.
Of course, these are all wrong and have severely diminished our Constitution, which can be legally changed only by the People. Unfortunately, it’s going to take time, and a lot of work, to set it right. Those who cherish the Constitution have got to be selfless, resolute and set their apathy aside.
You need to be trained for the militia, not to shoot other citizens.
Read the entire Amendment.
We don’t train to shoot other citizens, we train to shoot as a self defense medium. You need to review the amendment.
Libby Fruit!
Amen, the left has been outed for the true haters of humanity that they are. They only want to disarm us to make it easier to control and/or kill us.
Being a Democrat, the Alexandria shooter will continue to vote!
No doubt. Lol
The liberals can give up their guns and that’s probably a high number of them but I’ll keep mine.
Agree. I own two handguns and I think I’ll get another just because I can. Also, it’ll tick off the pansy asses who sit way to the left of me. That’s you, Obozo, and your buddies. And for good measure, I’m going to send another $50 to the NRA! Lock’n load…
At least the conservatives will have the common sense to protect themselves. The liberals are completely at the mercy of the terrorists.
Ah… but looked at in the context of the last decade the “liberals” are the terrorists”.
True. The terrorists are at the mercy of the other terrorists.
Suggest you look up terrorism in the US – think you’ll find they are generally right wing nut-jobs or Christian nut-jobs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A self aggrandizing liberal wiggler, Roof was a democrat, the last ass hat was a burnie supporter… you have NO clue what you are babbling about, your surf board must have caught you in the head a few too many times… oh and upvoting yourself? You are a pathetic child now aren’t you LOSER
Never voted Democrat – just do facts. If you can refute them please provide reputable reference, otherwise get lost.
Up-voting – amuses me and confounds the retarded, I’ll add you to the list!
Up voting yourself is the same as tying a pork chop around your neck so the dog will play with you…
Amuses me, confounds the retarded – pretty sure you are on the list.
Didn’t vote!!!your name tells all!!!
What is the point? What is the difference? LGBT, abortion and gun regulation neither of which will be changed, that aside zip! Plutocracy rules – stuff the people the 5% are “in”. Duh!
I say we all start blocking those that are here just to get under our skin, over time the only ones who even see the name feel the same, or just do not care,!.
One of the things that really pisses me off at disqus, facebook and all of the social media sites, that I have used, is the failure to record the down votes.
On facebook I see 100 up votes but when I start reading the posts they are 10 to one negative about the post, but no way to see how many people read the post and found it bad.
Can you imagine how many down votes mrpoohead would have on his stupid posts?
You certainly selected the right handle. So fitting!!!!
Well MrOnlyPresentsFacts seemed boring and my kids thought Poohey was funny.
There, things are balanced out for the time being.
…or….crazies exist everywhere and nobody seems to have a monopoly on obnoxious – though Trump is trying very hard.
On the bright side you’re so stupid you probably shoot yourself. Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!
I qualified on the M16 and never missed hitting the bulls eye.
Amazing; yet in all other areas you seem devoid of fact or substance – guess any fukwit can shoot a gun huh?
You without a gun continue to shoot yourself in the foot, don’t continue to twist the gun hand further, you might hit something vital.
No interest in guns – do have friends who hunt, I’d rather surf but don’t mind been given result of hunt.
No foot shooting – only pragmatic realism.
I’ve spent more time on a Board, and Free/SCUBA Diving than you’ve been Alive! Yankee Jackass!
Good for you, diving never really interested me. Doesn’t diving require an element of brain power? Timing and so forth – I take it you leave that to your buddy.
So you SCUBA dive to pick up the drug packages? Clever. It’s mostly coke, right?
No, Not yourself Faggott! Stick your Head in the toilet bowl and keep flushing till you can Change your Name! Jackass! Let’s trace your IP address!
Well we couldn’t find WMD so doubt you’ll find an IP address or your own winky among the rolls of fat.
Your Sista’s Rolls o’ fat!
See, you never get anything right – no sister. Duh!
Your Auntee then!
Auntie! No; no American one’s left, rest are Europeans so no fatties – fatties are remit of US!
That’s ’cause with your Fab Euro Union, no one has money to Eat. let alone get Plump! Baron Von Schiess Koph!
American’s do quantity, European’s do quality – except for north of England, plenty of fatties there. EU is way forward, despite UK plenty of folk still clamouring to join. Be nice to neighbours and co-operation – makes sense. British haven’t actually left yet – just chit-chatting about it, neither main political party wants it. EU and UN is future.
Financial Crisis 2008 – an American creation, which they managed to off-load to EU and China with dodgy loans. Bright side – EU and China took the moral high ground and didn’t sue the banking system of US which they could have as what we did was illegal as well as immoral. Most, not all, EU nations are now paying off their debts whereas ours is just about to shoot through $20 trillion and still rocketing. No one else remotely close to that kind of figure even allowing for difference in populations.
It’s the end of The Empire That Never Was – thank God! And a choice between Trump and Clinton merely the final nail in the coffin – going down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All previous Empires have gone this way – stupid debt and collapse. Well all but the British who managed to maintain respectability. Going, going gone!
USA – now the joke of the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Better than me
Me too!!!!!!!
If the lunatic shooter had KNOWN that the politicians were armed, would he have attempted the murders? The second amendment allows American to be armed. Do away with gun control and let legal, non-criminal citizens protect themselves. After all, didn’t the Los Angeles Times say that violence is a common part of American life? Shouldn’t the average law abiding American be equipped to deal with that issue?
ANY POLITICIAN that tries to undermine the Second Amendment is trying to undermine our U.S. Constitution which they took an oath to uphold, thus should automatically be REMOVED FROM OFFICE!
The “left” has a new conts. ready to be put in force !!!
THEY CAN ….roll it up and stick it where the sun don’t shine!!!!
See you have but not likely !!Lock and load !!
THERE’S A REASON why the ‘LEFT’ is called the ‘left’; when intelligence was passed out they were….
LEFT OUT!!!
Yep, there’s a reason the political left is called the “left”. That reason could just be number 4 in the dictionary below giving the definition of the word, “sinister”
1.
threatening or portending evil, harm, or trouble; ominous:
a sinister remark.
2.
bad, evil, base, or wicked; fell:
his sinister purposes.
3.
unfortunate; disastrous; unfavorable:
a sinister accident.
4.
of or on the left side; left.

Simple, nuff said,!.
And…. Jesus will put the goats on the left and the sheep on the right. He will then tell the goats to depart into everlasting torment. Anyone who knows about goats knows they are bull headed and will not follow the “Good Shepherd”.
No! No! No! We’re RIGHT and They’re whatever’s Left! That would be Wrong!
I need to point out that for 99/100 of the ‘Left’ they refused to stand in line with the rest of us to receive a working IQ and in so doing made themselves OUR problem, now when you look into the family trees of those in the far left, they have very few branches, and no fertile soil, so we need to remember that when WW III starts, I will still pull the trigger, but feel no remorse as it will be an act of mercy putting them out of their collective pain.! ( and they will provide me with all the arms and ammo I need when I take it from the UN peace keepers that the lefts Ignorance have arranged to invade us when we have to say ‘NO’ in every possible way short of WAR! ).
Well, I bought 4 more guns in the past 7 days to add to the 100 plus I already have.
So I can’t see me giving any up now, plus the 20 plus cased and buried. How would I shoot the 30,000 plus rounds of ammo I have. Guns aren’t just for hunting, they are for a possible civil war for liberals and conservatives. Now that would be a good hunt for sure..lol
ask them who is going to protect them from the russians if they take the guns , seeing how they are so afraid of russia these days
“But we hope that the next time the NRA lobbyists visit congressional offices with their guns-for-everyone agenda, they are greeted by members of Congress who are far more skeptical and probing than they have been in the past.” — NRA lobbyists will probably be welcomed with open arms by Repub reps who will be asking them which firearm would be best for concealed carry.
Trump needs to go after the maggots who murdered Scalia and turn their names over to the Navy Seals for processing.
Amen, sailor!

Ooorah! SEALTeam 6 arriving…
The United States Capitol shooting incident of 1998 was an attack on July 24, 1998, which led to the death of two United States Capitol Police officers. Detective John Gibson and Officer Jacob Chestnut were killed when Russell Eugene Weston, Jr., entered the Capitol and opened fire.[1] Chestnut was killed instantly and Gibson died during surgery at George Washington University Hospital. Weston’s exact motives are unknown, but he has a mental disorder and maintains a strong distrust of the federal government. He remains in a mental institution due to paranoid schizophrenia and has yet to be tried in court.
Imagine that!!!
The “FIRST RESPONDERS” were actually Armed Citizens that carry on the job.
Why is it that people that are under ARMED GUARDS are the same ones that tell us WE, THE PEOPLE that actually PAY FOR ARMED RESISTANCE AGAINST CRIMINALS 24/7 are not ‘allowed’ to provide our own protection?
Ya know what ?…am about tired of all them sissy boys and their girlfriends
Ever wonder why liberals never use Chicago murders as an example to outlaw guns? It’s because GUNS, are OUTLAWED, in Chicago!
One of the Congressmen on that field, said he has a concealed carry permit from his State, and wished to heaven he’d has his pistol with him at the time of the nutter’s assault. I’m all for Congress passing a law superseding DC’s concealed carry laws, to protect themselves against the criminally insane Liberals. The Left keeps trying to take our guns, and We The People must keep telling them to PACK SAND! Should they push it to the point of Civil War, they are well and truly screwed.
Excuse me, I may be wrong, but if I’m not mistaken most of the crime and assaults in America are committed by DEMOCRATS, of various colors and back grounds. It is a FACT not an opinion. Just look at the map that shows the areas of highest murder, rape and assaults and it tells the truth, it matches exactly the map showing the heavily Demon-Crap constituency lives.
see my post above
Yup “Recipient Towns” Can’t say Knickker no mo!
This whack-a-do did just what Obama and Soros and a few other anti American scum wants to happen. They are pushing their nutty base to the point of total anarchy, I do believe that they think that will finally bring the majority of Americans in line to call for gun control, and that will bring about the end of our republic as we have known it. What is stopping them now is the knowledge that to many of us are armed and their final plan cannot be implemented until that changes.
It’s not a novelty, it’s a pattern the Giffords shooter, his name is Loughner, is a left wing loon, so is the Aurora movie theater shooter, he was a member of the Occupy Wall Street Black Bloc who were wearing the same black outfits and face masks as today’s “Antifa” left wing loon fascists; they commit gun crimes, kill people, or at least attempt it and then the left howls and whines that the guns of lawful gun owners need to be confiscated – they love unarmed victims and subjects. The communist party, formerly known as “Democrats” loves demonstrations, and have glorified and built revolution into a myth-like status, dreaming of leading useful idiots to destroy our Republic and Constitution. They, and the MSM financed by globalist billionaires stoke rhetoric flames to provoke the next left-wing loon to commit such acts, hoping that if they repeat the lie that un-arming all will make all “safer” will be believed if they repeat it often enough. They don’t care how many get hurt by their loons “the ends justify the means.” They are as anti-social, immoral, calculating, and callous as they come!
Amen
As a baby boomer (’47), I remember saying both the Pledge of Allegiance & The Lord’s Prayer (before it was banned). To have any value and meaning both the Pledge and the Prayer should be for life. I was never in the service (Kidney lost at 14) but I feel it should be a duty of citizenship to support the Constitution and have (at least ) respect for the Office of the Presidency ( even if you don’t respect it’s occupant). Now , I understand that the Pledge is being removed and in some schools the actual history of the nation is no longer being taught. No wonder a lot of today’s youth are air headed twits ( bordering on being traitors ). To be “patriotic” today is being considered a NAZI. I’m just thankful that my father’s generation fought WWII and not these snowflakes. My hat is off to everyone who has had the guts to serve this nation. I fear that WE ALL must be required to do whatever we can in the preservation of freedom in the near future. Things are looking more and more ominous.
I believe these subject are being taught; however, they are included in other courses.
I am unaware of any rule that say you cannot say the pledge.
The Lords Prayer should be taught and prayed over and over in the church and home. Not in a school where there are different religions.
You do not teach religion in public schools. I understand that more and more charter schools are religious and you can say the prayer.
Check out the West Coast and North East. What is being given to students in the Colleges and Universities now is more related to “Communist propaganda” than an “enlightened education”. Instead of ” the free exchange of diverse ideas” , they now have an “Orwellian” viewpoint of “political correct intolerance”. Is 1984, Animal Farm, Brave New World, Fahrenheit 451 on the “required” reading list for the so called “students” at the so called “Institutions of Higher Learning” these days? I doubt it. They are so witless coming out of the “public” education?” system that they wouldn’t see the direct parallel between the books and the reality of the immediate situation they were in. When the “Light” of the “Truth” is removed and “Banned” , then the “Darkness” of the “Lie” will be the replacement. ” Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.” Adolf Hitler. ” Lest we forget an over the shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history ( and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins – or which is which ) the very first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom – Lucifer.” Saul D. Alinsky , Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals. Unless “Rational Logic” , “Personal Responsibility”, “Ethical Morality”, and the “Uniqueness of our Constitution and the “Rights” therein enshrined” are taught , then the freedoms “we take for granted” will be lost. Freedom is like smoke: very difficult to grasp and very easy to let slip thru your fingers.
William I have two grand children that graduated from California and both are Engineers. I believe you are just shooting off your fingers because you can say anything you choose on these site.
Perhaps there are other education facilities other than the ones you are familiar with.
I am not into your mythology thing so I do not know anything about that part of your comments.
Oh really? The performance at Berkeley by the “tolerant students?” is a principle example. At the other coast , try being a “conservative” speaker on the Princeton campus ( good luck with that ). If you wear a “MAGA” cap on any “”liberal institution of higher learning?” you run the risk of having the crap beat out of you by the self-appointed campus “thought police”. I invite any current or former “conservative” student of one of our “Institutions of Higher Learning ” to chime in on this. Am I right , or am I wrong?

Democrat’s and Guns
The ball park shooter was a DEMOCRAT.
This explains why there has never been an attempt on Obama .
In 1865 a Democrat shot and killed Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States.
In 1881 a left wing radical Democrat shot James Garfield, President of the United States – who later died from the wound.
In 1963 a radical left wing socialist shot and killed John F. Kennedy, President of the United States.
In 1975 a left wing radical Democrat fired shots at Gerald Ford, President of the United States.
In 1983 a registered Democrat shot and wounded Ronald Reagan, President of the United States.
In 1984 James Hubert, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 22 people in a McDonalds restaurant.
In 1986 Patrick Sherrill, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 15 people in an Oklahoma post office.
In 1990 James Pough, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 10 people at a GMAC office.
In 1991 George Hennard, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 23 people in a Luby’s cafeteria in Kileen , TX.
In 1995 James Daniel Simpson, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 5 coworkers in a Texas laboratory.
In 1999 Larry Asbrook, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 8 people at a church service.
In 2001 a left wing radical Democrat fired shots at the White House in a failed attempt to kill George W. Bush, President of the US.
In 2003 Douglas Williams, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 7 people at a Lockheed Martin plant.
In 2007 a registered Democrat named Seung – Hui Cho shot and killed 32 people in Virginia Tech.
In 2010 a mentally ill registered Democrat named Jared Lee Loughner shot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and killed 6 others.
In 2011 a registered Democrat named James Holmes went into a movie theater and shot and killed 12 people.
In 2012 Andrew Engeldinger, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 7 people in Minneapolis.
In 2013 a registered Democrat named Adam Lanza, shot and killed 26 people in a school in Newtown , CT.
As recently as Sept. 2013, an angry Democrat shot 12 at a Navy shipyard.
Clearly, there is a problem with Democrats and guns. Not one NRA member, Tea Party member, or Republican conservative was involved in any of these shootings and murders.
SOLUTION: It should be illegal for Democrats to own guns.
Best idea I’ve heard to date!
Liberalism is a sickness!

excellent post!
Will be sharing this too — many thanks to Cake Man and you.
The 1991 incident was the reason for the current conceal carry law in Texas. I urge everyone to look at the You Tube video clip of Dr. Susan Gratia-Hupp Survivor of the 1991 Kileen TX Lubys Shooting. She is testifying before a Senate Panel. Listen to her powerful testimony and check out Chucky Schumer’s facial expression. This is a video the the gun grabbers hate. They cannot attack thisTexas lady. Please check it out and send out to everyone before You Tube brings it down.
can’t say it any better than she did.
Sorry, I do not need a lesson in history or about demoRATS. They are rabid. What is needed us THE RIGHT TO SELF-PROTECTION and to be able to carry our weapons with us. Without restrictions of any kind. This was guaranteed by our own constitution.
You don’t have to look far back in history since the 1900’s the turks took guns away from the Armenians they eventually were slaughtered, the Russians confiscated weapons and millions died. Hitler confiscated weapons and the SS killed how many Germans, Jews, Europeans. When governments confiscate weapons it can only lead to one thing, the people can and will be abused, killed and tyrany succeeds. The progressive left along with the communists within our systems want America to be brought to its knees. Will you be one of the lambs or will you stand up and fight for our constitution and bill of rights.
I am a veteran of the U.S. Army and there’s no expiration date on the Oath to defend the Constitution of the United States I took, what’s your creed?
2 tours Vietnam Navy, 65, 66. Welcome home brother!
Thank you both for your service.
MGySgt, USMC, Ret.
Reminds me of the saying,”there’s never been a mass shooting the left didn’t like”.
One of Sores armies !!
Most Americans can’t afford fifteen foot walls like Hollywood or rich Dems who can afford security. So go to hell.
The gun issue will remain a primary voting issue for me. That is why I never ever vote for a democrat
What’s with the completely false, panic-inducing headline? Who has said one word about a desire to “take away our guns”? I mean, come on. If it’s the headline it must be true, right? So, editors, show us exactly who suggested that or apologize for fearmongering. Either issue a justification, a correction, a retraction, or admit that this a “fake news” site?
Let’s read on, shall we?
“The guy was clearly out of his mind and the Capitol Police did the world a favor by sending him into whatever lies beyond this world. At least he’s out of this one, and he will do no more harm to those of us lucky enough to still be around.”
Well, why the hell do you want someone who is “clearly out of his mind” to have an AK-47 with 30 round clips? What’s wrong with keeping someone like him from getting his hands on that weapon in the first place?
How absurd. The very article with its shrill and completely false headline about taking away guns makes the perfect argument for restricting their sale. Unless, of course, you believe that people who are clearly out of their minds should own assault weapons. If that’s the case, I’d have to argue that it’s YOU who is out of your mind.
Then the article’s authors argue with the LA Times by saying, “First of all, this is in no way a ‘common part of American life’.”
Really? What about these statistics?
114,994 people in America are shot in murders, assaults, suicides, & suicide attempts, unintentional shootings, or by police intervention.
33,880 people die from gun violence
11,564 murdered
21,037 die from suicide
544 killed unintentionally
468 killed by legal intervention
267 die but intent was unknown
81,114 people survive gun injuries:
60,041 injured in an attack
3,700 survive a suicide attempt
16,428 shot unintentionally
945 people are shot by legal intervention
So 115,000 people injured or dead from guns is not a “common part of American life”? It’s roughly the same as the deaths from breast cancer (40,610), prostate cancer (26,730), and colon and rectal cancer (50,260) combined. Would you refer to those deaths as a “common part of American life”? I would.
Is it politics or unwillingness to accept reality that causes “admin” to take issue with the LA Times?
People who are “clearly out of their minds” or those who have known mental issues are not allowed to purchase guns from licensed dealers. Chicago has most restrictive gun laws in the country and the most crime. AK-47 was not used in that attack. No one thinks nuts should have guns. KJHanover post below breaks it down referencing mental cases with guns, most gotten illegally. Largest percentage of legal gun owners are not causing this mayhem — caused by nutcases. Limiting the nutcases in our society would be a good solution, although almost impossible due to pc people that won’t admit that some people simply need to be removed from society — closing Gitmo is a good example of this. Because you support limiting guns in our society, perhaps you would agree that keeping the most terroristic and crazy individuals locked up is a good thing — and it is, although terribly expensive.
They jump out every time tragic happened & wanted to have gun ban ,how about have gun ban on Democrat & Liberal only ,their security guard will just have stick & bare hand to protect them ,will see how they react ,we live in free society let they have their way for themselves & we make sure to enforce that law only on them [ because they badly wanted ], can we do that ?
Why waste so much time writing about the left and the second amendment. They are not the same.
There is a group of people who believe that we should not have guns.
They are not “Left”!
Many individuals do not need guns and we need to find a way to remove guns from their hands. It should be on an individual basis.
If you claim to be Democrat you cannot purchase a handgun. Maybe a shotgun so you could fire warning shot like Biden told his wife to shoot from balcony.
Hmmm – interesting story —– as I watch gun sales going through the roof……
THIS is the usual ranting from the “left” for as long as I can remember. (I am 62) There are probably older folks out there that can recall even farther back. SCUMOCRATS and RINOS want all the law abiding citizens to be disarmed, so their muslime and illegal alien “friends” can take over with no chance of getting their butts blow away.
Congress is now in the process asking for each member to protect himself by how, Oh owning and carrying a pistol. Well seems pretty smart too me. Why not, certainly our congress members who have about a 10% approval rating have some hateful people out there and why not allow them to carry a gun to protect themselves? But wait, lets have some common sense here, lets all have the right to carry, each and everyone of us should be likewise able to protect oneself their families, the world is getting crazy with leftests unhindged at every turn of events. Let’s all fight for our 2nd amendment rights!
Might be fun~!!!See some of the clowns shooting at each other ,on the senate floor !!Can’t wait !!
Primarily I agree, however, let’s be fair, had the left stayed silent on this issue and not had the usual knee-jerk reaction to gun control then either way they would’ve been attacked by the media and possibly many conservatives for condoning the attack on the right by not having their usual reaction to gun control. In their case silence would’ve given the wrong message just as well.
Is it just me, or does it seem that the “mass shootings” most often are at “gun free” locations? I have never heard of one at an NRA rally or a Gun Show.
Democrats have shown their true colors since the last election and are willing to kill and destroy property if they don’t get their way. Democrats are a bigger threat to this country than ISIS.
The democrats advertising to kill republicans caused the problem of the shooting of the congressman.
It is no different than advertising for coca-cola. Those that spout that stuff of killing or harming others should go to jail.
First, do not say you are “sorry” that it does not work that way. Please no apologies for these lunatics.
Are you sheep or sheepdogs? Sheepdogs help the ‘Good Shepherd’ take care of the flock. Our problem is that the wolves are multiplying and increasingly attacking the flock. Then there are those that just love to see the wolves attack and slaughter the flock. They would like nothing more than to eliminate sheepdogs.
Again I say; if our founding fathers didn’t think that us having a gun was so important to our freedom it would not have been the 2 nd amendment it would have been further down the list! So let’s just keep it were it is and allow everyone to protect themselves!!!!
I do not think the order of the 10 Amendments are in any significant order. if so the states and citizens rights Amendments would have been the First Amendments.
Amendment 9 – Construction of Constitution. Ratified 12/15/1791.
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
Amendment 10 – Powers of the States and People. Ratified 12/15/1791.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
This bullshit is really getting old!! We will not give up our guns!! Screw the Left.
The gun grabbers of America don’t realize that we have over 20 thousand gun laws on the books and not one of these gun laws would have stopped the mass shootings nor would any new law would have stopped it. The problem lies with our justice system they are too lenient on criminals.
For years now our enemies have made it clear that they rather pull our nation apart at the seams than give up on their lifelong goal of disarming the American people. What they don’t realize is that the criminal and gang bangers will still have their guns. Take Australia’s gun band of 1996. After their citizens gave up their guns crime went up 60%. I have a letter from a Australian Senator it stated America don’t let your government take your guns. The battle lines are drawn. The truth versus lies. Hardworking Americans versus the privileged elites. We patriotic Americans and the NRA and other pro gun organizations versus the gun control zealots who stand behind armed guards while proclaiming that our Constitution doesn’t apply to us. We will fight the poisonous anti-gun lies that spread across the T.V. airwaves and the internet like wildfire. We will fight Bloomberg’s army of gun control operatives who spend their lives deceiving the American people with cooked up polls and statistics and chipping away at the foundations of freedom.It should be a federal law that if a law abiding citizen wants to carry a gun in any state he or she should be allowed. GOD BELSS AMERICAN PATRIOTS.
We live in very dangerous times. True protection is in Jesus Christ. God’s love protects and heals His people from all this evil and hatred sent our way. I don’t have a gun – trusting that Jesus Christ protects us (Psalms 91) from all who would harm us. But I am for Americans having the right to bear arms, our Forefathers did. People everywhere should have the right to DEFEND themselves as they see fit. That is a consequence of liberty, which liberals hate.
This article was well said! “You don’t get to shoot us and then take our guns away!” The Left have already lost their minds and are walking amongst us.
I second his emotion and double down on it. With the increased call for violence by leaders like Obama, Soros and Hillary, the need for the 2nd Amendment is only emphasized and magnified even more. For every attack on a Trump voter, every attack or promised attack we will add more guns to our arsenals. We will carry more to protect ourselves in public and we will fight you. You will never kill us, that goes for ISIS also.
In fact we have had enough of the entire lot of you and for ISIS Trump’s ban now in affect, my guess many men here from those countries will be picked up because most don’t rise to the standards set to stay here and the Supreme Court said nothing about those already here. We are going to stop the insanity and stop all of you.
You Are So Right, I Feel The Same Way I was shoot at when i was living in the country at the time in Indiana five bullets went right over my head. I went in to my home an got my rifle and I went out scouting for him he was still looking for me. But i walk Quietly manner and put my rifle right behind his head, He drop his rifle and i called the cops and they had arrested. Then he says he just was having fun just to see what i would do. Will He got a big surprise The joke was on him?
Liberals always use a tragic shooting like this to promote gun control. I have a large collection of firearms & I never ever saw one of the guns shoot its self. It takes a human being to squeeze the trigger for the gun to fire!!!
Odd, that the common word itself is not a part of your vocabulary? How do you suppose that happened, Charles?
Drop dead, Chi Sam !!!!!!!!
That’s the penalty for angering you…death?
I guess your ex-wife got off easy with the occasional fist to the side of her head.
I happen to be married & never laid hands on a woman in my life. You’re a normal liberal piping in when not asked & promoting lies. Don’t mess with me Chi Sam !!!!!!!
Why do crazy people who shoot up the place, mass shooters as they are called, have to be identified as left or right? To me, it doesn’t matter what side they are from. They kill and maim mostly random targets. Whatever the situation, I should not be punished for another’s crimes. Taking or limiting any weapons I may have will not solve the problem of crazy people doing what they do. Gun control as it’s called is 100% illegal. It violates many segments of our great constitution. Read it thoroughly with pen in hand and note each time you find a violation of your rights as you read. The post de facto clause means no “they” cannot change or make a new law to take from you what you already have, like that thirty round magazine that was legal when you got it. Or, what about the part that says you have a right to be secure in your papers and effects. On and on it goes. It’s a lot more than the 2nd Amendment. I refuse to call the names that come to mind. It would be distracting and a violation of decency and Christian principles and doctrine. But I will continue to speak up. I press on. Cheers!
“The people who can answer “yes” to either of these questions …” probably live in Chicago, Baltimore, St, Louis or some highly gun-ownership-restricted locality. Not me. I’m in rural New Hampshire for a reason.
Even more reason to keep your arms!!!!!!!
I have used what was said to the persian’s to do by the Spartan Hoard, ” MOLON LABE ” and that is what the violent left is using to fuel their ‘IGNORANCE’, so I say we each need to send the same to all who want to strip us of our Rights!
Now I know that all too many of those the left have all Ramped up, are very lacking in the area of a ‘Usefull’ education, so I will translate and use an original American/Texan adage, ” COME AND TAKE IT “.
I know more than enough Veterans who like myself can take the wings off a fly at 1,000 yards, so if those who belong in the State Mental Hospital think I will be an easy target, I will NOT give you a ‘time-out’ after you see just how much you have bitten off and want to reconsider what an Intelligent person would have thought through the first time around,!.
