“We’re Not Going To Take Your Guns” “Gun Bans are Off The Table”, “I’m not coming for your guns”, is the big lie of the anti-rights types. Of course if you have any sense you know they ARE coming for your guns! Hell just look as far back as yesterday. That Paratrooper FAL is the gun I want. It is now illegal here because it meets the criteria as an “Assault Weapon” in the State of Massachusetts (as it did during the Federal Ban) but my current FAL which has a few concessions is essentially the same gun. I’ll note that the magazines for this gun need to be made pre-1994 to be legal as well. And anybody who does any high-round shooting knows that magazines are consumable parts.
I’m a handgun shooter, and a big advocate of carrying for self defense. There are SO many good carry guns, as well as neat novelty guns I’d love to had…but they are not legal to buy in Massachusetts!
Yep want a ubiquitous Glock 19, probably one of the most popular carry guns in the nation? Hope you can find a used one in good shape, because you can’t buy them new here! Wanna drink the Kool-Aid on the S&W M&P9? You can buy the guns, but you’ll only be able to stuff 10 round magazines into that 17 round well until the law changes.
Sorry assholes you already CAME for my guns! But in case you don’t believe me now, have a read of this Tweet!
FACT: Most firearm-related deaths in Canada are caused by rifles or shotguns.
First up they use “Gun Death” meaning they feel the need to discount all other forms of death (again click the link to read pages and pages of deaths that these jerks don’t think are worth your time) and of course ban long guns. And given that its Canada that has banned what the antis consider “Assault Weapons” (can’t buy an AR-15 in Canada) these are your standard-issue “Sporting Guns”, these are your bench-rest rifles, your duck guns, your trap and skeet guns, your deer rifle, your afternoon paper-puncher.
Their solution: REGISTRATION! (PDF). Note that these “Gun Deaths” are happening under the Canadian Long-Gun Registry. So you’re claiming we need to keep the laws the same because long-guns cause “Gun Death”? But you aren’t looking to ban guns. But if guns cause “Gun Death” and “Gun Death” is a relevant metric, wouldn’t banning guns be the smart thing to do?
Their actions betray their motives. Of course here in America we have many of our “Gun Deaths” because of handguns. Why? Because it isn’t a colossal pain in the ass to BUY a handgun in America. Does this mean we need to make handguns harder to buy? Well yeah if “Gun Death” was relevant, and we didn’t have things like armed self-defense!
And of course they don’t stop, have a look at the knife laws and the individual liberties in the UK!
Again they are anti-freedom, not just anti-gun, and they WILL not stop. Don’t give an inch!
I live in mass and the laws suck don’t know if they will ever change. There is no choice of weapons. I mean you can buy a glock anywhere but mass, or even an XD has so many safety’s but NO. I don’t think any of these mass people who make the laws no anything about guns or magazine or anything. I think i’d have a better chance of moving to NH before any mass laws change.
Oh, come on, Weerd. You know perfectly well they don’t want to ban all guns. Why, if you ask really nicely, pay a paltry five hundred bucks or so in permit charges, and let them publish your name and photo on the front page of your local newspaper so that parents will know to keep their children away from your house, they may consider issuing you a discretionary license to purchase a Ruger No. 1 chambered for .22 short. You’ll have to keep it locked up on the premises of your gun club, of course, but you see how they don’t want to ban guns!
Gun clubs are dangerous. Your gun will be in a lighted display case (that you’ll pay rent and upkeep for) in a museum. There will be a little plaque saying “Ruger #1, .22 Short: from the Collection of Mr. Weerdington Beard”, and I would have an RFID fob that could go in an look at my gun any hour of the day.
Look…but not touch, and CERTAINLY NEVER shoot, because lead ammo is bad for the environment, and non-lead ammo is “Armor Piercing”, so Ammo is rightfully illegal!
But they fully support the 2nd Amendment!
