More liberals and guns
It has taken me about 30 years, and what’s happened lately, to come to the conclusion that it is not liberals, but conservatives that ultimately may become the real threat to the Second Amendment and the Constitution in general. That’s argumentative, I’ll admit.
I don’t disagree. Seems a great deal of gun control lately is passed into law by supposed conservatives. Mr. McAdoo also says:
I can remember a time, not so long ago, when I adamantly supported a ban on assault weapons. But given the fact that many rapid fire automatic weapons can be converted into, or considered assault weapons, such a ban is not effective and only inflames those who believe that gun laws are being adopted that only serve to restrict the rights of law abiding citizens, diminish Second Amendment protections, and do nothing to protect the public. So, I’ve changed my mind.
I like his sentiment and am glad to see a liberal oppose the ban on weapons that look like assault weapons. However, I have no idea what the bolded part is supposed to mean.

It means he’s atypical liberal – displaying his ignorance on a subject out where everyone can see it…

Actually, he’s pretty much correct. You can take a rapid-fire automatic M-16 and easily convert it to a nasty looking AR-15 semi-automatic assault weapon complete with flash hider, collapsing stock, and bayonet lugs.
