Boo hoo. It's not all or nothing.

You disagree?

Let's keep going, economic disparity, hopelessness, loss of job prospects, all play a part in these nonsense crimes. All they play right in mental well being.

But go ahead, keep whining about it, while pretending like you're doing something good by giving in on a single issue, then blaming those who disagree for the mess.

Your attitude is what perpetuates the shit rolling down the hill for all Americans, while the tippy top gets even bigger pickets while R's are in charge.

But do go on and tell me how what I'm witnessing is just a figment of my imagination.

Get the bump stocks and assault rifles off the street because that is where the momentum is, and then once you succeed there, sustain the momentum and move on to mental health.

You are trying to boil the ocean with a zippo. Good luck.

The GOP are no longer conservatives. I am not sure what they are.

But I do see hope. Rubio and some Florida legislators are breaking ranks, as are other GOP leaders around the country. If you want to see gun control happen, it means you need to support those showing signs of shifting on this issue.

Rubio will be quick to jump back on that wagon when it comes back around, loaded with enough cash. Those fancy shoes and Fiji water don't pay for themselves!

It's intertwined. To pretend it's not is your dishonesty, not mine.

Agreed, I don’t see what the problem is with going after the obvious
Like:
Bumpstocks they are obviously made to skirt the law nobody buys them for their stated purpose
Armor piercing rounds, nobody needs these for anything but piercing armor
Weird modification kits that are designed to add a 100 round drum or similar

Low hanging basic stuff

Speaking of bump stocks, I ran into this video comparing the rate of semiautomatic fire to bump stock rate of fire on an AR15.

The guy is obviously pro-gun but doesn’t come across as an asshole about it.


He’s pretty fast at pulling the trigger and it seems like he’s expecting the bump stock to only be slightly faster than his finger, (like a certain sluggish arachnid has suggested around here)

Instead he’s quite suprised at the firing rate. It’s really not even the same ballpark as semiauto fire.

The stated purpose of a bump stock is to allow the disabled to fire a gun.
Does any disabled person use a bump stock to fire a gun?

Wow. Good video. Both of those should be off the street and/or highly regulated.

Holy moley...
Even the semi-auto rate is too fast imo. What conceivable reason can a law abiding citizen have to need to shoot that fast?

Doesn't seem to a hard number on how many members they actually have. Regardless they have an aweful lot of clout for such a small organization.

I didn't watch the whole video but sounds like he needs a tinfoil hat.

Yea I got the 5mil from Wayne in that speech. As I said he was bragging how mighty and powerful they are.

Because they have such severe arthritis this makes shooting possible

The guy is like struggling to hold the gun+bump stock combo; we really think disabled people who can't pull a trigger can hold that thing up when the bump stock is attached?

On another note, can I get a list of every organization that has ties with the NRA so I can blacklist them?

I don't understand why a gun maker is buying up companies having nothing to do with guns.

You don't understand why a company that makes sporting goods owns a bunch of brands of different products??

Its almost as if they want to sell different things to consumers so as to diversify. Crazy! 😵

did you know pepsi co sells potato chips?

Fist I took out the limit of handguns and rifles, have all you want. Thought that would be something you liked. Can you not compromise?

But I'm afraid assault style weapons days are over. Even Reagan knew they were bad news.

Secondly the plywood @ 1/2 if I rolled it on its length it would be 2 feet wide. My rectum would not allow even forced such a large object.
