Why are anti-gun activists so violent?
Let’s wave some guns around while teaching people about the second amendment.
And this CNN reporter shooting an AR-15 is sad:
The Florida shooter used ten round magazines because 30 rounders wouldn’t fit in his bag.
And his gun apparently jammed:
The weapon and bullets were not high quality and were breaking apart,
Anyone know the brand?
The NRA sells guns to Americans, then when those guns get used for the purpose for which they were designed, the NRA sells Americans ways to fortify against the effects of those guns. Quite a racket they have going.
And their biggest pitchman is sitting in the White House.

So, George, where is the NRA’s gun store? Where can I get a NRA brand pistol?
He says to take guns first then due process.
Then he says background checks won’t pass if national reciprocity is attached. Sorry, but I want something in return.
After, he says respect the second amendment.
And he wants to administratively ban bump stocks. Again, I want something in return.
Trump appears to just make mouth noises to cater to whoever he’s talking to. But others say he’s playing 3D chess. Meh.
A reader emails:
Go to google’s site, and enter “AR10”, and click the “Shopping” link. You’ll get numerous results as you’d expect, probably because Google as not figured out that an AR10 is an evil assault rife.
Now try it with “AR15”: “Your search did not match any shopping results”
They won’t even say that it violates their policy. They just make the information disappear.
So, Delta decided to yank benefits for NRA members. As such, the Georgia LG is blocking their tax exemption for jet fuel. To the tune of $50M.
A few things on the NRA bennies. Not a lot of members are aware of them. I never new I got a lot of those discounts. I did, however, use their life insurance. It was a good rate and reasonable coverage. But I never knew I got car rental and plane discounts.
And what were these companies thinking? Do they think the 17 year old kids and twitter bots harassing them will ever be customers? And do they think the NRA’s 5M members will continue use their services? Most will. Until NRA sends a notice out in America’s First Freedom and Shooting Illustrated. But then, I’m guessing they’ll lose some business.
But that’s not the narrative.
A supposed history professor trots out the old “the second amendment doesn’t say what it clearly says” bit. That bit of creation science thinking (developing your conclusion then working backward) has been debunked rather a lot.
CNN:
President Donald Trump told a gathering of state governors on Monday that “we have to have action” in the wake of the latest US mass shooting and urged governors not to be “afraid” of challenging the National Rifle Association.
I think he needs to think before speaking.
Dems fear overreach as left presses assault weapon ban
Also, they went on a step further and pushed a bill that bans semi-autos that take magazines.
In an election year.
Chris is struggling with cancer. He runs the Anarchangel blog. If you want to donate, you may go here.
But since the point of gun control is to humiliate and grind down flyover people and demonstrate that the Ruling Class is ultimately the, well, Ruling Class not to control crime the appearance of submission is probably enough. Plus, a seldom enforced and often ignored law is ideal if you want to be able to target troublesome individuals later.
Yup.
Why the AR-15 shouldn’t be banned. That would appeal to more moderate folks than my personal line of you don’t get a say.
Now, I do believe that social media has greatly enhanced the ability of a small number of determined activists to intimidate traditional companies who dont really get social media. But in 2008, they did not have even a small number of determined activists.
If you really want to annoy the other side, join the NRA. They’re running special discounts.
Florida gun show sees record attendance. Good.
I just ordered a bump stock because Donald Trump says I shouldn’t have one. Sure, that issue is a political loser for us. And it won’t break my heart provided we get something in return. But I’m the uppity sort that buys things people want to ban.
Breaking news: A doctor points out that rifle rounds are more powerful than handgun rounds.
Did you guys know about this?
Two more students say CNN scripted the alleged town hall.
One names the names of those at CNN.
Now it’s alleged that four deputies hid while the shooting was going on.
Someone needs educate the photogenic kid who’s reading the gun control talking points about the powers of the governor. Of course, it’s because the governor is a Republican and the sheriff, who is at fault, is not.
Were school officials told to gun down on the number of arrests to get grant money? Looks like it. They were incentivized not to prosecute the shooter. Then he may have not passed the background check.
More “Kill the NRA” billboards. And what will you kill them with?
Calls to track down and execute gun owners. Again, execute them with what?
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
