The misinformation in the “national discussion”
You can’t have a national discussion about guns if the language of the discussion is not something that everyone understands. According to the National Review yesterday, the President told contributors that Adam Lanza used “fully automatic weapon” when he killed 26 people. Of course, unless the President knows something the rest of the planet doesn’t know, Adam Lanza used a semi-automatic rifle during his nefarious plan. The difference is, of course, that fully automatic weapons have been heavily regulated in this country since the days of Al Capone. Fully automatic weapons are not available to most Americans without proper licensing.
In Chicago, Robin Kelly is running for the Congressional seat recently vacated by Jesse Jackson, Jr. While she was arguing against concealed weapon carry in her district, according to Breitbart, talking about the Aurora, Colorado theater shooting;
She told the audience, “in the movie [theater], they have conceal and carry, but nobody pulled out their guns to kill the gentleman that did all the damage that he did.”
In the movie theater, no one was carrying a concealed weapon because the owners of the theater decided that they wanted to establish it as a “gun-free zone” and everyone who was a law abiding citizen complied with their demands and they were all without arms. That’s why no one drew their gun that evening.
Dianne DeGette, a self-proclaimed expert on banning magazines, doesn’t even know how magazines function when she announced that her plan to reduce the number of magazines in this country is to let us fire them all up until they’re all empty – apparently we’re supposed to forget how to reload them and throw the magazines away.
And there was the VoteVets video in which they proclaim that no one has to do a background check to purchase an AR15 rifle. I suspect that no one at VoteVets has even bought a firearm, or they’d feel a little bit sheepish about their outright lie.
Charles Hurt, in the Washington Times. highlights some of the other misinformation flying around about guns. When you ask Americans if they think we should have universal background checks, a huge majority says that we should. But if you ask them if the government should keep records of those checks, the number falls dramatically.
Hurt points out that nothing that has been passed int he States in recent weeks would have prevented Adam Lanza from carrying out his diabolical plot. He had been denied the opportunity to purchase the weapon he desired by existing laws, so he stole his mother’s weapons.
The sweetheart of gun rights, Emily Miller writes that our Second Amendment rights are being eroded by the States.
Our Founding Fathers were clear that people inherently have the right to use firearms for self defense and to protect themselves from government tyranny. The laws and treaty passed this week are clearly unconstitutional, but it will take a long time for the courts to catch up to the rapid abridgement of these rights.
The worst part is that these rights have been stripped from us on the basis of misinformation told to us by utter morons who cant speak the language or lie to with their bald faces. History will not look kindly at this generation.

Anyone who expects the left to suddenly operate honestly, from informed positions is delusional. Lying and offering opinions about things about which they know nothing has worked well for them so far. They will not change until their “feelings” cause them more discomfort than does reality.
Meanwhile, Zero is telling his drooling Demtard supporters that the gun used in Newtown was a “fully automatic weapon.”

There are so many lies out there, it’s hard to counter them all.
this tyranny would stop if, upon repeal of the violations of the constitution, we lined the perpetrators of said treason up against a wall and displayed the original intent of the second… “Destruction of tyranny and traitors”
“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”
-Thomas Jefferson
Teh stoopid is making my brain hurt.
It comes from allowing your enemies (and they ARE your enemies) to start and define an argument. For instance, there is no such thing as “gun violence”. There is only violence. “Gun control” is a euphemism for control of the populace. It’s tiresome to keep correcting these idiots, but it must be done; at every turn. Your freedom really IS at stake here.
In that vein, my discussions about guns start and end at the 2nd Amendment, which is ALL about hunting. Hunting tyrants.
“Both oligarch and tyrant mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of arms.” -Aristotle
IOW, nothing new here, just the level of shrieking harpy rhetoric and stupidity being employed.
I thought that Lanza didn’t actually use the rifle in the shootings, wasn’t it found in his car?
This is less a discussion than a lecture from the GunFearingWussies.
I will not run. I will not submit. I aim to misbehave.
Keep calm and carry on.
These lying assclowns are not going to stop. Are we??
Teh Leftist Libturds do not discuss and will not listen to reason and logic. Therefore it is useless to even talk to them anymore. The only reply to any and all of their shreiking and emoting is a simple and heartfelt, “Not only NO, but HELL NO. You want them YOU come and get them.”
As #8 MajMike quoted Cpt Reynolds, “I aim to misbehave.”
Keep calm, PH?? This IS calm! It is time for righteous indignation. That might just be the only rational response.
I have never and will never fire (take that either literally or figuratively) upon another human being in anger. I have and will continue to use the force necessary to defend myself using whatever is available to neutralize anything or anyone that threatens me with bodily harm. Those who wish to deprive me of the means to defend myself are the ones who need to discover what calm means and get to that state of mind.
PH2–fuck calm. Our ancestors would have been shooting by now.
PH2, we know that you have made the decision not to own guns, and that is definitely your choice. But if you think for one moment that you’re not as involved in this as we are, you are mistaken. You, along with everyone else, has a choice to make. Whether you own a gun or not makes no difference. Anyone who stands on the side of the Second Amendment and what it means have been declared an enemy by those who wish to see our rights abolished, whether they own guns or not.
Locked and Loaded!
The left-wing liberal, “cluelessnimus moronicus maximus”, a lemming-like brainless creature that operates purely on emotion and makes every effort to be as stupid as possible.
The truth is that Gun Control laws and the politicians that pass them only aid, abet, and embolden violent criminals. All those laws do is assure them that law-abiding people will be conveniently unarmed VICTIMS. (I offer Chicago, LA, and DC as just three examples.) True, real-life, common sense Gun Control involves factors like breathing, aiming, trigger squeeze, and target acquisition, but I’m “preaching to the choir” here!
Wait. So you’re telling me liberals are generally and specifically clueless, make up facts and lie? Now it all makes sense……………
Agree with PH2 that calmness is especially desirable right now. If you get agitated, it screws up your breathing and tends to make you jerk the trigger. Breathe deep… exhale
part way… hold it… squeeze. See, isn’t that better?
Sadly, as a boomer, I must confess that for all our generation’s aspirations, we have deeply failed in our duties as parents, citizens, and in many cases, at even being worthwhile human beings. I sincerely hope our kids or kids’ kids will somehow take our country back from the useless tit waterheads we unleashed on ’em…
“Keep calmr and carry on” is another way of saying ‘don’t let anger cloud your judgment’. Has nothing to do with whether or not I have a gun. Nor does it mean I have never had my hands on one or never used one.
Anyone who thinks I’m NOT on the support side of the 2nd Amendment has got rocks in their heads.
Robin Kelly and Dianne DeGette are both some special kind of stupid. But then, Obama insisting that Lanza used a “fully automatic” rifle is a special kind of stupid, too.
[…] are not “bloopers” flying around our streets. Who has been killed by grenade launchers? The President said outloud to contributors that Adam Lanza used a “fully automatic” in Sandy Hook, which […]
