The communists wants our guns so they can oppress the American population more than they already have.

The communists wants our guns so they can oppress the American population more than they already have.

Corollary:
A population armed with AR15s cannot be herded into boxcars.

Fuck yea man. When Biden says deer do not wear bullet proof vests, I say…it’s not for the deer. It is for your government overreach and defending my family when LE refuses to do so.

The cult want you to call 911 and wait for the gubmint to save you. I say cut out the middle man and defend yourself.

No one wants to ban the AR15, they just want to regulate them. You’re welcome to play with your little guns anywhere you want, if you’re licensed.

This is a lie.

Prove that they don’t. You can play with a machine gun, dangerous explosives, even a tank now.

 

[M14 Shooter]

Prove that they don’t.

I can prove that any number of people want to ban the AR15.

Thing is, even if those shooters couldn't get an ar15 they just would use something else.

The issues isn't with guns themselves, it's with the dopeheads, criminals and crazy people. It's with the people who want to hurt others. They are the ones that need to be gotten rid of.

If you have a society of decent people and you treat criminals, dopeheads and crazy people like what they are you don't need gun laws.

I'd rather live in a country without criminals, than a country with no guns. Because even if you get rid of all guns the few that want to go out and hurt others will still be here.

The people who seek to ban the AR15 know this.
Their objective, see, is to ban the AR15, and they are more than happy to use the blood of innocent children to do it.

There are stupid people on both sides that don’t know how regulation works, you among them. So, you’re saying an AR 15/will be banned while an M16 isn’t. That’s stupid.

 

[M14 Shooter]

So, you’re saying...

No.
I said you lied.
And I proved it.

 

[Dagosa]

No.
I said you lied.
And I proved it.

No you did not….show one piece of legislation that bans an AR15.

 

[M14 Shooter]

No you did not…

Another lie.

 

[Dagosa]

Another lie.

Name a state that bans an AR15.

No you have not….name one state that actually bans AR15. Both you and the rest of the ignorant hang your hat in “banning”, and you’re wrong. They are regulated.
