The British Called! They Want Their Guns Back!

[Teresa]

This should serve as a warning to all freedom loving Americans.
Before pulling the lever this coming November, remember: both Hillary and Obama support draconian gun laws aimed not at criminals (because criminals don't obey the laws anyway), but at law abiding citizens.

I wish everybody would watch that! I don't get why lawmakers are stupid enough to think that is gonna work in the first place! Like some guy that's figurin on an armed robbery is gonna say "crap I gotta turn my gun in now what am I gonna do?" God, the stupidity just makes smoke come oughta my ears sometimes

I have been soooo good and quiet lately... but...  all good things MUST come to an end.. LOL


Did you hear about the CCW  ( carrying concealed weapon  )  permit holder who stopped a mass shooting (2 dead & 2 wounded victims + the shooter is dead) in Nevada?  Mass media is trying to play it off as a "3 dead, 2 wounded at bar shooting" story & mostly ignoring it altogether.  It's a good thing Nevada does not make Bars "gun free zones" 

Full details here:

I haven't even seen this reported on the cable news. But this is a major story, or at least it should be for the catastrophic way it could have turned out.

Of course the MSM will never report the CCW part or possibly just bury the whole story. 
They can't praise and portray a gun & a gun owner in a positive light ya know..., so most of the headlines in this story (all local to Nevada that I've seen so far) are trying to portray it as "3 killed & 2 wounded in a bar shooting"

MSM won't report this favorably. But they will report and go on and on and on for two weeks a mentally disturbed person who shoots anything!


There is already a law in place that says that you can't drink alcohol while carrying a concealed weapon - that is reasonable.
But saying that you can't Conceal and Carry and safely take your family into a restaurant that serves alcohol is absurd! 

Lots of states have the no concealed carry in ANY establishment. that serves alcohol so it's lucky for many potential victims in Nevada they don't declare places that serve alcohol to be gun free zones. 

Gun free zones, especially in unsecured areas, have got to be among the most moronic ideas the anti-gun movement has come up with.  Only after gun free zones were invented did we start seeing mass shootings - all targeting the unsecured gun free zones where they can rack up a high body count without any resistance from the disarmed helpless people within them.  The only folks armed in gun free zones are the Police (if they happen to be there) & the criminals or mentally insane.  Completely ridiculous.

The US is becoming a Nanny state mindset, .. that are supposed to be for our own good, because the state citizenry can't do it for themselves.
I hate Nanny State mentality.  If I wanted a Nanny I'd hire one.
  Every time the government creates some new law that is supposed to be for our "own good" they really make a mess of things in addition to eroding the Freedoms that our Country was founded on.  Just look at the great prohibition on alcohol & the ban on handguns in Washington DC as a couple of examples.  Legislation was even considered recently in California that would have given the government control of peoples thermostats, giving the government the ability to raise the temperature setting during the summer or lower it during the winter whenever they want to in order to reduce electricity consumption.  Unbelievable.

No, I hadn't heard anything about this but hell you can have 24 hour news with all the stuff that DOESN"T get reported that ought to. I still say the only real deterrant to crime is the criminals knowin their "victim" is probly gonna shoot back at em! I think most of crazy people in the US live in California, some of the ideas they come up with. Maybe while the government is so busy legislatin our lives they can pass a resolution that everybody has to have some common sense

  but first you gotta explain to them what "common sense" is.  then they'll wanna tax it if it catches on.

exactly what I was trying to say early on in another thread but couldn't get my point across

But that already happens. They're called rolling blackouts and we have them here once in awhile if we have extreme heat waves on the east coast.  They don't usually last for more than about 20 minutes per house and we are told when it may happen so we can be prepared.

And here's what NRA's Wayne LaPierre has to say about the shooting in Nevada:
