Its funny, how he specifically said weapons of war… like people didn’t go to war with knifes and single shot bolt actions and other firearms that had no auto repeating actions
ILL TIE A STRING AND STRING A HEARTBEAT ELECTROMATIC FIRE
They’ve already won because the 2nd amendment is not there for hunting rights or concealed carry rights or practicing at the gun range rights, it’s there for the public to protect themselves against tyranny. We are not allowed to have weapons of war so we are already behind the curve if we have to protect ourselves against our government. They will have RPG’s, automatic weapons, grenades, various rockets, tanks, uparmor trucks, etc. and we are still already reduced to semi automatic weapons with limited magazine capacity. If we do need to rise up at some point, we have already lost as a people. It’s time to start voting in people who actually care about moving our country forward and holding themselves at a certain standard while still protecting the people as a whole. Enough of the Republican vs Democrat BS. Vote in people who don’t owe someone something or who are not owed something by someone so that there is less hypocrisy and corruption in our government. We keep falling for the same old tricks every 4 years and we never learn from our mistakes. I guess that makes the general voting public the very definition of insane lol.
Congressman: Guns no longer bring security
At the same time, the same congressman walking with 10 armed security guards….
maybe if they didnt sabotage people. wouldnt have all the trash we do these days. me – if there gonna have all these shooting, how about we guide them to go after those that mislead them and ruined everyone? 2 birds with one stone, they get their revenge or w.e, get rid of future problems ect. parents aint the ones raising their kids these days, so cant really blame them. cant ban guns cuz criminals will still have em. so what are the options? and why have guns if as a tool they arnt put to use fixing problems? hungry – u can use it to feed yourself. yet look at all the corruption, that people seem to have to allow? almost more damaging than a school shooting id say. propaganda is a tool of war. so is trying to out breed or mix into the locals. seems to me white people got better at making weapons after we came across the others, and now they wana take em? or is it to disarm the others, so they can be removed easier? same justification for mixing then demonizing people who are against it. so all these acts of war, but no one seems to be out fixing the problems? whats the point of guns then? mean people seem to just let them take em right? so we are canada now and cant use self defense? no one should fight for any cause unless they are willing to die for it, but you let them? and wonder why people do shit so half assed or dont really care about? wed have allot less liars preying on peoples emotions. less corruption, ect, if you wana keep your guns, make sure you can, if you wana take the guns put effort into it. do yall like to argue over the same shit year after year? does anyone on eather side really care? seems to me its about looking good for w/e demographic youre after, votes,fame, women ect, whats the purpose of the division yall seem to like to cause the masses? makes people move, makes people buy shit, creates criminals, so as i said, does any side really care? do we have to argue? personally i feel all political and other shit, is just there to keep the majority of people in the middle of things, while allowing others to make all the decisions, cuz thats freedom…… keep enough people happy, so the rest cant change anything, just peasants after all. the talk about the guns no being full auto, makes one wonder if it even makes a difference to eather side? or just the compromising talk as i said to keep ppl in the middle, you – its not full auto, ppl for – yeah we dont need that, people against – well hes right its not. same with gun registration, for or against, ban or no ban, and people – well if its registered i guess its not bad, or well registering is better than a ban. so as i said, making decisions for others, and no progress for eather side unless its the direction yall feel like taking it. freedom though right? in reality, full auto or semi, only diff is how fast it empties, dosnt make it more or less deadly, but like most things, we need to register everything, and cant allow certain stuff, cuz hey your free but we need to clip your wings as always. god forbid in a capitalist society were taught to compete or allowed to, when money isnt involved. fear of a takeover or civil war i assume, when our country time after time uses war to fix problems or make money. so hey if civil war, how about ,making sure the military prevents a invasion during, and the companies can profit off it all? more work to be done, and for some potential riches to be made?(then again youd just claim anyone who profited a war criminal and strip them of everything im sure) cheaper land prices, more revenue from tax and a boost to the economy, its like when you stop outsourcing jobs + relieves tension, and in the end you can have your bans or your gun rights, but the people decide if its worth it or not to them, vs being told what to do? + think of it yall rich people steal the women anyway right? im sure theyd leave a dangerous area, mean thats half the reason we cause wars abroad right? or why you sabotage so many of our own. and why money seems to be the only thing people care about. honestly dont know why yall havent thought of this. maybe a decrease in labor, or potential risk to your own power. or fearful the suit and tie look would make you seem uncool by comparison? personally, feel were just gonna continue on till we sell out to someone else, and as always nothing ever gets fixed. people who like guns, your children are being taught theyre bad and to fear them, and the anti gun people will side with outside powers to take em from you, anti gun people, your children are living in a world where if anything did happen, theyre gonna be on the losing side, bred to be weak and defenseless and hated by the other side because being anti gun is attacking them whether you admit it or not, so w/e way it goes, one sides gonna suffer and cant really keep compromising, anyway just a random thought, more people, more problems funny how that works.
Two questions: (1) Why is the overwhelmingly preferred choice of weapon for mass shooters an AR-15 and not a Glock 19? (2) Why do police feel the need to respond with a SWAT team of officers armed with AR-15 style weapons when engaging a mass shooter with an AR-15 style weapon instead of trusty old Glock 19s???? 🤔
Okay, I’m taken aback by what he said about the Military’s Standard Issue M4 having a burst fire option. That’s bogus, because the US Military Did away with the Burst-Fire Option when the M4A1 was adopted in ’94 (well its later variants after its adoption had the Burst-Fire option removed.) The only other rifle the US Military had with a burst-fire option was the M16 series of rifles. Nothing adds up here.
(contest my logic if you will.)
And plus, the only way for a citizen to own a Full Auto or Burst fire weapon in the US, is to fill out an ATF Form 4 to Legally own one. (Abolish the ATF)
*A German WW2 survivor said the Nazi party under Ol “Short Stache” did the exact same thing: 1st ban rifles, then shotguns, then handguns. Then burn ANY READING MATERIALS NOT Government approved, turn the people against their neighbors, & BAM….. you’re in a Dictatorship..!! Sound familiar America…?! It’s headed your way!*
Nah man. Disagree with the lawmaker on a few points and he isn’t doing us any favors.
First, it doesn’t matter whether the firearm is a weapon of war. The musket is a weapon of war. A sword is a weapon of war. The point of the second amendment is that we protect the right of the people to own and bare arms which are all weapons of war.
The second point that needs to drop is this idea the select fire capability of an M4 or M16 makes it somehow in another class over a semi auto only AR-15. Yes, it gives more capability to the rifle but the full auto or burst function is more for a niche scenario where your goal is to provide suppressive fire. 99% of the time in combat you will use it in its semi auto setting since you want to make accurate shots and conserve ammo instead of just wasting ammo. That’s the whole reason why the burst function exists since in Vietnam they found that troops were just spraying and praying wasting ammunition.
The real conversation is that the NFA is unconstitutional and the Fed shouldn’t even have the ability to regulate any small arms.
The phrase "weapons of war"; which war? Afghanistan? Iraq? Vietnam? Korea? WW2? WW1? Civil war? 1812? Revolution of 1776? Which one, because each one featured different technology and weapons.
AS A GUN GUY MYSELF, to say there is no different between a semi auto pistol and a semi auto AR-15 is kind of like saying there is no difference between a Honda accord and a nice Audi. Look they both operate the same – both have engines, pistons, take gas, tires, etc. Sure the mechanics of the pistol and AR15 might be the same but the way they interact with your biomechanics is night and day. Target acqusition time, accuracy, muzzle flip, faster time on target with second shot with accuracy, etc. are, simply put, all much better with an AR15, not to mention once you get to distance. At distance an AR can remain heavily accurate while the pistol generally takes a bit of skill to get outside 50 yards.
Which might be to say, any person who has never shot a gun in their life is going to do better generally with an AR than a pistol for these reasons.
Or I will say this… if I were to choose a weapon for combat, it would be the AR15 and id generally use semi auto on that gun, so to say the semi auto AR is not a weapon of war is simply untrue. MOst soldiers today use semi auto AR way more than full or 3 round.
Im not saying ban the semi auto AR, but to say they are the same is simply untrue. Not to mention most people in combat dont use full auto or even 3 round (of course these functions have their place, but its not common) because the idea is accurate rounds on target and you dont get that slinging bullets fast on full auto.
I’m offended 😩😩😩
This is not a good argument, because we are supposed to be able to have weapons of war.
"Imma let you finish, imma let you finish but Beyonce had the greatest…." lmfao
BAN THIS, ,!CUT MY TRIGGER FINGER OFF!
To argue that a semi-auto gun and semi-auto rifle are the same is beyond moronic.. Even an inexperienced shooter will hit a person from 20-30 yards with a rifle while even an experienced shooter will probably miss beyond 10 yards with a handgun most of the times. There is no comparison between the two. ALL auto and semi-auto RIFFLES should be banned! The only people with semi-auto rifles should be law enforcement and NO ONE ELSE. Even hunting rifles should be more strictly regulated and hunters should be subject to strict yearly courses and philological checks in order to maintain the wright to own them.
Even the GOP doesn’t understand that the 2A is all about the people’s ability to keep and bear weapons of war, aka "arms".
lever action mag fed tube fed wtfk
Ban all you want I’m not getting rid of any of my guns. Any gun law is an infringement on our second amendment
Any gun law is an infringement. There are over 300 federal laws and over 20,000 ON THE STATE AND LOCAL LEVEL!! 20,000!!!!! And they want more regulation🤣
Well said
D – democracy… :))
Well, in Russia we always say: democracy is the reign of Democratic party of USA. And all the things make sense then :))
Semi auto should be regulated just like fully auto. Single, bolt, or pump action only for civilian market.
Diane Feinstein stated unequivocally her preferred goal is to outlaw all firearms. The semi auto rifle in her words is "just a step" Canada had officially banned the Ruger #1 single shot rifle. That is a preview to what’s coming here (U.S.) The fact of the matter is (and even a big portion of conservative are afraid to say it out loud) the left will not stop pushing their disarmament agenda until their life functions are ceased wholesale. It’s them or us and if they aren’t eliminated we will be.
When guns are outlawed only the outlaws will have guns.
If we can’t trust the police crime will increase.
The best speech and presentation I have heard throughout all of this 100% correct and presented very clearly
People should not be making laws when they don’t understand the subject matter!!!!
Everything he says goes over democrat heads
“It’s a big gun. So it must be dangerous”
Maybe regulate dangerous people, and not the tools. Why not do more on the front or licences, registration, mandatory training, just like a drivers licence, you need some time to train to learn how to use it and get certified. Only then it’s safe for you to go out on the road and not instantly be reckless. Same applies to guns. With proper training over a longer time, the certification to back it up etc an individual can be safe and responsible with it.
Finally got some good words for 2A 🙂
Americans just want an excuse to take a F/A to a school to columbine it.
It’s clear that y’all don’t know how to control your guns unless it’s steal off the REAL Americans, the First Nations.
Keep failing your children America by allowing guns to proliferate.
Amerikkka spending money in Stupid shit lol and then day want to talk about child trafficking lol Amerikkka same people that want to help are the same people that are trafficking lol Amerikkka
This is why office chair dinosaurs shouldn’t be running the country.
Democrats pussies cry cry cry
When it comes to firearms, Dems have their collective heads so far up their asses that they’re flossing with their shoelaces. These are the people supporting additional "gun control" laws, with no clue how they even function.
The Democrats have sold-out to Satan’s World Economic Forum’s Agenda! Anti- United States Constitution and Anti-Christian!
The fact a lot of ppl act like they served in a war and say that a ar15 is auto and yet again proven wrong what I’m getting at is that these ppl in congress need to learn how guns works and yes they are lethal but what problem we have in this country is mental health guns don’t kill ppl ppl with guns kill ppl guns can’t grow arms and legs
Lethality….the often overlooked metric when comparing ammunition and the firearms that used them. With the logic of this representative, any weapon that is semi automatic is comparative to a pistol. A very silly argument.
Bottom line is Democrats are commies and criminals…full stop!!
You can purchase full auto you just have to pay the ATF $200 and wait 5 months or so.
Come and take them 😉
It was designed for the military. Weapon of war. Which is completely irrelevant. Cyclical rate and capacity is all that matters here.
It’s a good thing he didn’t bring up the semi-auto 12g. That is is used by the military and the public.
The level of butt hurt when he points out that none of these criminals wearing suits know a thing about combat was hilarious. hOw DaRe U
*One single question…*
The victims of mass shootings and other shootings, were killed with what instrument?
The country I’m from had 1 school shooting 30 odd years ago, children were killed teachers were killed, the whole nation came together to outlaw handguns and hand weapons into police stations, now the country I’m from hasn’t had another school shooting since, people don’t cower in the street when a car backfires, infact being shot to death doesn’t even occur to women and children where I’m from.
💬When the 9/MM was changed to the "service arm" Cournal Coop writes in Guns and Ammo that now the operation would be { Spray & Prey }❕ G~G.
About the same amount of people are killed in vehicles as guns each year, please don’t ban our Vehicles.
I’ll take it one step further for the uneducated. Aside from semi auto and magazine fed , which are all or most semi auto weapons as the glock 19, None of the UNIQUE characteristics of the "assault weapon" have NEVER been used and had effect on outcome of a single mass shooting…… EXCEPT ONE. Anyone that can tell me the ONE it would have made a difference wins a prize.
In other words, the real goal behind democrats is to mislead the public, so they can justify the banning of all weapons that fire like AR15 since it will set precedent and deem it logical once the banning of the so called assault weapon is ineffective in reducing mass shootings. Since the only actual characteristic of great importance is being semi auto.
Legalize 3 round burst
