John Found this tweet from North Carolina’s Joyce Astroturf.
They’re attempting to get the people of North Carolina to speak out against HR 822 which is the National Conceal Carry Reciprocity law.
Of course North Carolina is one of those states that simply will not issue a Non-Resident Conceal Carry Permit, and simply honors any out-of-state carry permit, just like driver’s licenses.
Now that in itself is interesting, but the point I’m going to make is that the antis are very consistent about having no idea what the laws currently are, nor do they know anything about how guns function. Of course the greatest example is this:
Yep that’s Carolyn McCarthy (Idiot-NY) Dancing in the blood of the Virginia Tech Victims while the pools were still warm. The host gives her a one-question quiz about one of the most important point of her HR 1022 legislation (yes HER, her office presented the bill) about what a “Barrel Shroud” is. She had no idea. No only is this ridiculous that she would know nothing about her own law, but that this was NOT a gotcha question. How HR 1022 was written anything that insulated the hands from barrel heat was considered a “Shroud”, and in the context this feature would ban a semi-auto rifle with it. So this would be the forearm on not only an AR-15 or an AK-pattern, but the wood stock on a browning Auto-5, or my wife’s Beretta Urika. Essentially HR 1022 would have banned all semi-auto long-guns, PERIOD.
I could go on…there were a few more in the “Related” links here and here, and you could go all day!
Pretty telling that those who seek to ban and restrict guns, and expand existing law, know nothing about guns, OR existing law.
Would you let a surgeon operate on you without any knowledge of surgery or anatomy? Why do we give these concessions to lawmakers?
