More on that lunatic fringe
That’s just those self-defense whackos talking.
We talked yesterday about how people will call you crazy for thinking someone from the .gov would come take your guns. Up next is American Hunters and Shooters Association endorsed (and only winner, just ask them, they’re very proud) Claire McCaskill:
“When’s the last time a Democrat knocked on anybody’s door to take away their guns?” Ms. McCaskill said. “It’s hogwash, and you have to start speaking up about it.”
Obviously, McCaskill needs to revisit New Orleans where Mayor Nagin (a Democrat) ordered taking away guns. Or that time in California when their DOJ went door-to-door confiscating weapons (again, Democrats). And, again in Cali, when Democrat controlled governments confiscated weapons? Yup, sure is hogwash!
I mean this distrust of Democrats by gun owners is unnerving. I mean, if only someone could go set up a group with a pro-gun sounding name like, say, American Hunters and Shooters Association that endorsed Democrats only. No matter what kinda gun banners they are. That would solve the problem.

Oh come on. Obama voted against confiscation and he really didn’t even read that survey with his handwriting on it saying he wanted to ban semi-auto’s.
He’s with us. Really. The American Hunters and Shooters Assoc. say so.

Of course Obama got the coveted (if coveted means ‘never heard of’) AHSA endorsement. That’s what AHSA was set up for.

God damn you forum warriors in Cali. I just read that link about the confiscation, and it’s insane. And what did anyone do about it? Apparently jack shit. Fuck all you pussies telling me to give in and harping on anyone who ‘breaks the law and gives gun owners bad press.’ Fuck you – if you’re not breaking the law in this country you can’t call your self a gun owner. Now everyone say it with me – ‘ I am a gun owner and I am breaking the law.’ Didn’t that feel good? Isn’t it time to move past the mickey mouse bullshit we’ve been dealing with for the past 40 years? God damn pot heads are more courageous than gun owners. You want to follow the edicts of the same corrupt, gun grabbers….so you’ll be able to keep your guns??!? Wtf logic is that? Everywhere forum warriors wax eloquently about their courage and pride…but it took a a federal security guard to instigate a case which 5 assholes trumped 4 assholes to determine that I have a right which I exercise everyday? Gee, maybe they can rule on my right to breath, eat, and fuck too. Wake the fuck up people – the government is a big sham to control and tax us. It’s not on our side anymore than the fucking mafia is on our side.

Don’t forget – this spring both Cook County,IL and Philadelphia, PA enacted “turn them in” bans on so-called “assault weapons” AND standard-capacity magazines. Both places are 100% Democratic governments (executive + legislature).

Or in Illinois last year, when the police knocked on everybody’s door whose FOID had expired and confiscated their firearms.

Cook County’s new ban actually failed, as I recall, but the old one is still in effect (for now) and, after all, it’s the thought that counts, right?

And don’t forget NYFC……the land of “Ifyouregisterthemwepromisenottotakethemtrustus” AWB under General David Dinkins.

K-Rom; Philly enacted a handful of gun laws, five IIRC. The DA flatly refused to prosecute any arrests made and reminded the city that the laws were in violation of state pre-emption, and would get the city sued.
Re: confiscation – does anyone have a link to Dianne Feinstein’s interview on Sixty Minutes? I really want a video clip of her saying “Mr. and Mrs. America, turn them all in.”
Stay safe

Don’t forget Chief Moose using Maryland’s registry to go looking for ARs during the DC sniper shootings.
