Robert O'Rourke lets the cat out of the bag

Although, frankly, that bag's always been pretty transparent.
“Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47,” he said, on television, on the Democratic Party debate stage, for all to hear and see. “We’re not going to allow them to be used against fellow Americans anymore.”
This open declaration of hostility to the Second Amendment makes this item particularly enjoyable: "Beto Draws Short Straw, Will Be the Democrat Who Has to Actually Go Around Confiscating All the Guns Liberals Want Banned".

That a declaration of war, asswipe?

Because it sounds like a declaration of war.

Well Alyssa Milano thought these are 'machine guns'. Cruz told her those have been illegal since the 1930s but I don't think she gets it yet, because she claims to have 'guns' for her own defence but wants to ban others. Apparently 'Hello Kitty' guns are ok, if they match your ensemble.

Great satire from LMAO! Beto would pee his pants if he actually had to lead a no-knock raid, but the article catches his whiny tone perfectly.

Not to mention a good reminder that Beto is more proto-Jared Kushner than anti-Trump.

Bruce -- it being that Alyssa "Commando" Milano had two abortions back when, I can safely say that her vagina has killed more people than all of my firearms combined.

Perhaps she named her two guns after her aborted children?

Spiny Norman said...

Like Stevie Nicks named a hit song after her aborted daughter?

Well put. Also, Richard McEnroe just pointed out, Alyssa has publicly admitted that she has mental illness, so 1) how did she get the guns, 2) why haven't her guns been seized.

Deb: I guess red flag laws don't apply to reds.

If that were a real thing, I'd say Bucktooth Bobby wouldn't make it past the first three houses before he "unexpectedly" disappeared.

It's funny how little most of us know about guns, I used to think there was such a thing as an 'assault weapon' as distinct from say a hunting weapon. Because most of us rely on movies.

I get it now that the thing which makes AR15s more dangerous is not 'lots of pew pew' (because it's just like a handgun in that) but the reliability, ease of handling and accuracy - things which actually make it a good choice for say a woman defending herself at home alone, probably better than a handgun for that.

bruce said...

So if they want to AR15s but allow say women to keep a weapon for defense, they are talking round in circles.

Paco said...

Bruce: absolutely right. Reliability, ease of handling and accuracy do, indeed, make it a good choice for home protection.

A liberal friend of mine in D.C. once wondered aloud why anybody needs a rifle with a 30-round magazine. As I usually do in such cases, I told him to go look up the Harvey family murders, a grisly home invasion that, incidentally, affected me profoundly (in the sense that, from that time on, I got very serious about making sure I had sufficient means to protect my family). My point is, when you're confronted by monsters, why wouldn't you want overwhelming firepower?

If a so-called "assault weapon" were painted.. (shudders) ..pink, would anti-gunners see it as a assault weapon. I'd very much like to see someone try it, but on-the-hand, please, please do not deface a fine weapon.

There are pink "Hello Kitty" AR-15s out there. I have no idea how many, but they exist.
