Weer'd World

Gotta love it when a bunch of feeble minded “Progressives” speak smugly to the camera, and pretend they just won an argument. Via ENDO

Most of the “Facts” presented are just dumb, like saying you’re a bad hunter if you use a semi-auto. Hmmm How come every duck-hunting fanatic I know owns a Browning auto-5? Or the guy saying we should ban dangerous weapons so he won’t kill people when they make him upset. (classy!)

Still ask the founding fathers what they would think of a high-capacity self-loading man-portable rifle? They’d say “Cool! That air gun could stand to have a little more pop for military and hunting use!” (It should be a variation of Markley’s Law, the more a person talks about history as a justification to gun restriction the less they actually know about history. See the statements about how the founding fathers had no idea about repeating arms, or that it took hours to days to reload a musket, or that somehow today we have the most dangerous weapons available to the public…when just 60 some years ago you could go into a hardware store and walk out with a machine gun and a case of dynamite if you had the money and a little red wagon to haul them out with!)

Still I love the guy who says “Give me Three reasons why a civilian would need a semi-automatic weapon?”….then smugly drops it down to two, because obviously we’re all gobsmacked. Jeeze I carry a 1911 and/or a PM45 Semi-automatic handgun damn near every day…but I never thought of why! OK you win!

Hell just for a semi-auto rifle with a massive magazine I’d say 1) Hurricane Katrina, 2) Hurricane Andrew, 3) LA Riots….and for bonus 4) the latest trend of “Flash Mobs” congregating en-mass to places to do violent criminal acts. With your premise of just a semi-auto, the list is so long, I’d need to write another post…that you won’t read, because you obviously aren’t concerned with looking like an idiot, so why would you be interested in remedying that?

Anti-gunners have been saying constantly “We need a debate over gun control”….yet they just want to speak without having to defend their own thin points!

To quote Tam:

Listening to media personalities and politicians pontificating on firearms and firearms laws is like listening to eighth graders pontificate on sex.

They sure don’t let lack of any first hand knowledge dampen their enthusiastically-held opinions.

Example:

These weapons are meant for war. Trench warfare in World War I led to the development of a compact firearm that could fire many bullets quickly at short range. Subcompact machine guns, like the “Tommy Gun,” were quickly adopted by U.S. criminals and outlawed in 1934.

The Nazis perfected assault weapons with the “father of all assault rifles,” the STG 44, which gave rise to machine guns like the M-16 or AK-47. Forty years later, the semi-automatic descendants of these weapons, such as the AR-15 assault rifle and UZI assault pistol, were being used by criminals to terrorize American streets.

Just count the misinformation! And the kicker:

The NRA and its supporters don’t like the term “assault rifle.” Instead, they dub them “sport rifles” and suggest they are important for self-defense or hunting. But neither self-defense nor deer hunting requires a 30-round magazine.

They know NOTHING about guns, history, war, or how they work…but they know what YOU need to defend your life, hunt, or enjoy a day at the range.

BTW Jason Kilgore jumps in to help his boss out by linking this! A long, fact-free VPC “Report” that shows pictures of bolt-action military rifles and full-auto sub-machine guns.

See? That’s why we need to ban AR-15s and magazines that hold more than ten….or something.

BTW I also like the junk-on-the-bunk picture of all the old top-break revolvers, one old pocket pistol, and a bolt-action .22 in an article about all the “Assault Weapons” on our streets!

They’re total idiots…but man we should trust them!
