Here we go again. Just how many times are you going to keep doing this. One one hand you keep perpetuating the gun "They are trying to take all my guns" culture. And on the other hand, you are glorifying the Mass Shooters. Then you complain that everyone else is glorifying the mass shooters. Newsflash: That someone is YOU.
Now, let's take a look at your Cite. It's listed on the Net as a conspiracy site. It's degree of truth is rated as low. What it does is puts in enough truth to sound true but then scatters falsehoods to take it another direction. The Activist Post is nothing more than a Blog and part of a large group of conspiracy sites. If you stay with it, it puts it's hand out for money. For instance, Dr. Otto Warburg did exist. HE was a Nobel Prize Winner in Nazi Germany. That part is true. But he did NOT find the one and only true cure for cancer. This is where the conspiracy breaks down. He published a few things and was finally debunked in 1962 when he stated that Cancer was only caused by Pollution. He was only partially correct. We know now that some people are born with the cancer built into their dna and even without Pollution, they will end up with Cancer. Meanwhile, the clip continues to scare people that scare already scared people to send them money for this revolutionary cure. This is sad.
Repeal The Second Amendment
You have misrepresented this. The fact remains that the FFS had no idea what would happen AFTER 1850 where our weapons would outgrow our 2nd amendment. The Constitution is a living document. Meaning, it is supposed to be updated as the nation matures. The 2nd amendment was left vague so that it could be updated. It hasn't been. For instance, the first half of it referring to the need for the Organized Militia went by the way in 1917 with the National Guard Act. The 2nd amendment needed to be updated for that. Then our weapons outgrew the safe personal usage of the individual. We now had the full Automatic Weapons, Grenade Launchers and more. And let's not forget the rifle that started it all, the Browning Model 1917 Automatic Rifle. This rifle was so good that the US decided NOT to send it to Europe during WWI in fear that it would be copied by the Germans and used against us. The BAR (Browning Automatic Rifle) brought us the M-1, M-14 and Mini-14. But the Civilian versions of the M-1, M-14 and MIni-14 were semi-auto and really made lousy military weapons as they were a bit cumbersome. The Thompson and other Automatic Rifles were found to be just too destructive for civilian life. What brought them down was that fact that they were used in spray and pray and more innocents were being killed than the bad guys that were intended to be killed. Something had to be done.
What was done was the Firearms Act of 1934. Rather than go out and completely outlaw them, they stopped manufacture of them. They also stopped manufacture of replacement parts. You could no longer sell them, transfer them, give them away or even will them to your children. Every time they found one used in a crime, they destroyed the weapon. In about a 10 year time, the Thompson was completely off the streets and out of the Criminals hands. And when they broke, they became a wall hangar. You can sell, give away, bequeath a wall hanger if you disable it from ever being used as a firearm again. Many went into firearms collectors hands who had FFL Licenses who could buy and sell them legally to others with FFL licenses. They weren't banned at all.
The question remains, is the creation of the FFL regulation against the 2nd amendment? Why was it not then but it is now? And do we need to keep the vagueness of the 2nd amendment, repeal it and replace it or just amend it like we have with other amendments? We do need something to protect our personal firearms but we need a clear idea of what we need those firearms to be used for and then match the class of firearms to the need. I can use a Bazooka to hunt deer with but it's not the best tool. But that Remington Model 700 is a much better choice.
Students are parroting the claims and using their platforms as victims of gun violence to push for a ban on guns
Could it be that they just don't want to be next on the kill list? I can see how the Little Girl scares the living hell out of you. She just turned Voting Age as does millions of other graduating High School Seniors that don't wish for their younger brothers, sisters and friends to be the next victims. You can't buy their votes. You can't buy their support. The Bought and Paid for Politicians are having to do a complete rethink. Some are starting to do a rethink. But first they have to sever the pig trough they have been eating at and that is hard to do. Here are most of the students are going for:
1. Increasing the buying age of firearms to 21
2. decreasing the number of rounds in a magazine
3. comprehensive background checks with NO exceptions
4. Classifying firearms to what is for personal protection, hunting and what is not
Look for this to become nationwide state to state. It's happening already. Those Piggies are going to have to go find jobs. Not to worry, the Corporations they have been working for all along have jobs waiting for them. They certainly don't work for the American People. This is what those Young Adults are saying.
Law Enforcement officials are also calling for a ban on guns—which means they would be the only ones with guns
Your site showed just a few seconds of what this Sheriff said. it's called taking it out of context. Here is an interview by a Republican Newsman afterwards.
States are chipping away at the constitutional rights granted by the Second Amendment by passing laws banning guns that have been deemed “assault rifles”
They used Boulder as an example. Once again, misinformation. Yes, the ordinance passed but it's not in affect. They are still trying to hammer out the details. It''s complicated. For instance, some parts of it goes just a bit too far while other parts are just impossible to enforce. While the idea is good, the final product may look completely different than the beginning document.
Congress recently passed legislation that gives federal agencies power over gun control, effectively putting every American’s Second Amendment rights at risk
Horsepucky. The Federall Government has very little rights to regulate firearms outside off the extreme weapons. The States hold those rights.
I just love your scare tactics. And that is all they are. Misinformation of the worst kind. Please stop this nonsense. It's getting people killed.
