People Coming To FL ‘Overwhelmingly’ Registering As Republicans; Democrats Switc

That was all scare tactics by the gun lobby in order to sell guns.  Obama wasn't a threat to guns.  It was all bullshit.  They just wanted to get hillbillies to stockpile ammunition and guns as a commodity.

He played his part. When you make demeaning comments about "clinging to guns and religion" directed at small town America. There's going to be a reaction. If the Democrats want "common sense" gun legislation, they might try using some actual common sense.

There is nothing they can really do about magazines. "High capacity" magazines is a myth. 30 round magazines are standard capacity. If they want to ban magazines over 30 rounds. I would be willing to listen, but more than likely oppose it because it really doesn't fix anything.

The next problem you have with a magazine ban is that there are too many out there after Obama's 8 years. And I can't imagine that they wouldn't grandfather magazines already owned and produced. Statistically speaking, mass shootings and shootings with rifles in general is a small percentage of gun deaths. It's a red herring to scare the public into supporting more gun legislation. If they were really serious about gun deaths, they would fix places like Chicago, Baltimore, and Jackson across the country. That would drop the numbers down tremendously. It's just disingenuous lip service from the anti American liberals.

I understand what you are saying.  But I wasn't saying how I felt about the possibility about banning any type of magazine.  I was just stating what I could see the current administration doing.  And thanks for explaining to me what a "high capacity" magazine.  8 years of military service and 16 years of law enforcement and I never had any idea!  (sarcasm)   LOL

Proving conclusively that President Obama cared about human life, as the only thing in human history that has intentionally killed more people than guns...is religion.

Of course it was bullshit.  That was my point.  He was never going to do anything significant about guns.  Everything he said was rhetoric to appease his constituency. If you go back and watch them, Obama gave quite a few speeches in which he postured about the US "needing to do something about guns".   Although he never had any intention to actually do anything.   But people don't have much use for facts in our society.  The unintended effect of everything Obama said resulted in the hillbillies doing exactly what you said.  They perceived his words as a legit "threat" so they started stockpiling and they have never stopped. 

That's the ironic thing about the whole situation. All the liberal drama and rhetoric about AR15s, assault weapons, ghost guns, and weapons of war is contributing to the problem, not helping it. I wonder how many of these stockpiled guns slip through the cracks and wind up in a criminals hand and/or killing someone. If they would focus on the criminal element and enforce the current laws on the books instead of flapping their gums about restricting the rights of law abiding Americans, you wouldn't have people hoarding and stockpiling so much shit.

I know what you're saying. But the explanation was for the people around here who got their firearm knowledge from Rambo and Lethal Weapon.

Oh I know, hence the LOL in my comment.  I was just messing with you.

Yeah, he cared about people not getting killed by guns by contributing to the problem by putting millions upon millions of more guns on the street with his pandering nonsense.  

Anyhow, here in America we have the 1st and 2nd amendment that guarantee the right to freedom of religion and right to bear arms. It's what the country was founded on. If you don't like it, don't own a gun or practice religion. Otherwise you can pack your shit and leave. Spider claims Denmark is a good place to go. Good luck on your journey.

In point of fact, "banning semi-automatic guns" would not be "banning all guns."

So you're for banning all semi-automatic firearms? Is that your position?
