Let’s just kill that stupid meme:
Missouri Democrats are trying to rid the state of assault weapons and high-capacity gun magazines.
Democrats in the state House have proposed a bill that would force gun owners to either surrender or destroy weapons including semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines and semi-automatic pistols with a fixed magazine that can shoot more than 10 rounds before being reloaded.
Ammunition-feeding devices that can hold more than 10 rounds also would be banned. Owners also could send their weapons to another state instead of surrendering or destroying them and would have 90 days after the bill’s passage to make a decision.
Not sure what “Semi-automatic pistols with a fixed Magazine” they might be talking about, maybe a typo. Still the intent is pretty obvious, they want to take ALL of the most popular rifles, and pistols, as well as their magazines and have them destroyed. Now criminals will be unaffected, as Police already have the right to seize ANY firearm in criminal hands. What they’re going to be taking is your hunting rifle, your collectors items, your carry gun, and your home defense gun.
This is the plan across the board for anti-rights politicians, its ALWAYS about confiscation. This includes various “Assault Weapon” and magazine bans, but it also includes these “Background Check” bills. Remember with universal background check all guns sold or transferred would need to go through the ATF via an FFL, this won’t effect guns you have NOW…but you can’t live forever. When you die your family will have a choice, retain your firearms and commit a serious federal felony (that harms no one) or submit them for registration.
This doesn’t improve safety, but when we know their end game, we can read the writings on the wall.
Semi-auto pistols with a fixed magazine: Mauser “broom handle”. That is going to piss off a lot of collectors. If their description is an accurate summarization of the legislation’s text, then they can be confiscated and destroyed (they can shoot 11 times without reloading with one in the chamber)
No one is coming for our guns, yet.
They are certainly calling for disarmament though
A true liberal position, the place to start, is to call for domestic disarmament. That is the banning of the sale of all guns to private parties coupled with a buyback of those on the street (Mexico just moved to so control guns). Collectors can keep their guns as long as they remove the firing pin or fill the barrel with cement. Gun sports can be allowed — in closed shooting ranges. And hunters can be allowed to have long guns (if they pass background checks) with no scopes, which are not sporting. But, these exceptions aside, liberals should call for a gun-free nation and point out the much lower murder rates and fewer deaths due to accidental discharge of fire arms found in those civilized nations where most guns have been removed from private hands — and often even from those of the police.

I give this guy points, he hit so many worn out trope in one paragraph I’m stunned.
Wow that’s some SERIOUS stupid right there! He admits the 2nd Amendment means what it says…but fuck the constitution, and he praises MEXICO???? REALLY?
