Elon Musk Needs To Shut Up About Gun Control

[Biff_Poindexter]

Both your sarcasm and ignorance are noted.

As for Justice Burger. He was a dissembling, demagogic bitch poodle of a statist bootlick. His wont was to conditionally collectivize the right strictly vis-a-vis the efficiency of the Militia in decidendi. His wont stemmed from his woeful lack of original thought about the historical and philosophical foundations of constitutional law. The collective rights theory taught by liberal law schools was always bunk.

In other words, Burger was a Conservative Chief Justice appointed by Nixon??


Can you tell me where in the 2nd does it prevent an everyday citizen from having unfettered access to any weapon he or she wants??


There is a reason you folks keep dodging everything in my post and instead --clutching your pearls like a bitch...

 

[Sunni Man]

I noticed you haven't ever refuted a single thing I said.....

Your nonsense posts refute themselves. ...

 

[Biff_Poindexter]

Your nonsense posts refute themselves. ...

Nothing i said in my post is false...

Machine guns were banned before..all the way back in 1930's - fact..

Assault weapons were banned again during Reagan, during Clinton, etc....fact


and none of you have shown me where the 2nd amendment restricts a person from owning whatever weapon he wants.....I know you right-wingers aren't going to use that "well regulated" non-sense

 

[Papageorgio]

I think Twitter won't become a disaster like Truth social or Parler, so I am sure the "left-wing" will survive...

Or....


They can go create their own platforms and compete in the market place....


It ain't like they haven't done it before...and was successful...

I don't use Twitter, or the other two.

Musk comes from a gun culture where guns were needed to kill lions and blacks. We should listen to him.
But the problem here is the cost. Who will pay for the admin. Taxes on guns and ammo ?
Thats a hard sell.
Particularly if the pay off is only less school shootings. Is it worth it ?

 

[White 6]

But Biden said these should not be sold to 18 yr olds...which is basically like agreeing with Satan...so how is Elon getting a pass?


Because they think he will "own the libs"?


If so.,....I hope Elon starts sharing his thoughts on UBI's and Medicare for All -- if that is all it takes to make right-wingers shut up

There is a lot out there in the form of research, indicating kid, juveniles and young adults, especially us guys, do not exercise good judgement at that age, whether weapons related or not. 18-year-olds, cannot walk into a gun store and buy a 9 mm pistol. What make AR15s special?

Unsurprisingly, neither the OP nor the linked article give the full context of Musk's comments, where he gets a couple of things very right:

“I strongly believe that the right to bear arms is an important safeguard against potential tyranny of government. Historically, maintaining their power over the people is why those in power did not allow public ownership of guns,” Musk said in an email to CNBC."

Would be nice if Republicans would point that out occasionally.

“Regarding recent events, the shooters are obviously doing this to generate the most amount of attention possible. Why is the media doing exactly what the mass murderers want?” Musk asked.

So he acknowledges the purpose of the Second Amendment, which is to enable resisting tyranny (not hunting), but then waters it down by restricting "assault rifles".

Elon Musk calls for special assault rifle permits for 'extremely well vetted' people

In a tweet, Elon Musk gave his opinion that assault rifles should, at minimum, require a special permit, where the recipient is extremely well vetted.

www.foxla.com

"Tesla CEO Elon Musk commented Thursday morning on gun control measures following Tuesday's Texas elementary school shooting that killed 19 children and two adults. In a tweet, Musk gave his opinion that assault rifles should, at minimum, require a special permit, where the recipient is extremely well vetted. President Biden called for changes to gun laws Tuesday and expressed his heartbreak in his address to the nation following the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas. After the mass shooting at a Texas school, parents are once again forced to have tough conversations with their children. Biden called for "commonsense" gun laws, saying that "we know they work and have a positive impact." Biden claimed that after the assault weapons ban was passed in 1994, mass shootings went down. After the law expired in 2004, Biden said, "mass shootings tripled."

Elon has built up such a huge right-wing following that he should be careful not to alienate them by sounding like a radical leftist liberal cuck...they will probably give him a pass for now, since they know not much will ever get done in terms of gun control laws...but still...he needs to be quiet and just focus on owning the libs like he wishes to own Twitter...fact of the matter is, there should be no gun control laws.....gun control laws have only created more problems...like when in the days of Baby-face Nelson and Machine Gun Kelly - the radical leftist socialist Congress passed a weapons ban on machine guns....and this was back when we had good criminals who were more fun to glorify and revere...

Readers React: We banned machine guns in the 1930s. Why can't we ban semi-automatic assault rifles now?

To the editor: I’m not sure why the Los Angeles Times believed Dan McLaughlin’s Feb. 16 op-ed article, “Every solution to mass shootings inevitably involves a serious trade-off,” was worthy of publication.

www.latimes.com

In fact, I remember when a radical leftist judge basically admitted it out loud -- that the 2nd amendment interpretation by the NRA was a fraud....I mean, he was a conservative..but still -- we all knew he was a Deep State liberal the whole time....



This guy literally said that the 2nd amendment was a fraud on the American public...WTF?

Fact of the matter remains, all attempts at banning assault weapons have failed and only made the problem worse... there should be no gun control laws...the 2nd clearly states that you can only regulate militias, not everyday citizens...it doesn't say what weapon a citizen can have....or at what age you can possess that weapon...Every kid in that class room should be able to have a weapon, and let's see how the number of school shootings go down instantly....

Why are we allowing Dems to limit our ability to own a rocket launcher if we want one?? ...if we can manufacture our own ghost guns, why can't we manufacture our own tactical explosives? Even a small scale nuclear weapon if you worked hard enough and can afford it?? How can you successfully overthrow government without unfettered access to weapons? I see people go thru life everyday without owning their own Javelin missile systems and I am wondering, how do they go along with such oppression?

Elon Musk calls for tighter controls on guns and you tell him to shut up?

You make no sense

Semi-automatic firearm​

A semi-automatic firearm, also called a self-loading or autoloading firearm (fully automatic and selective fire firearms are also variations on self-loading firearms), is a repeating firearm whose action mechanism automatically loads a following round of cartridge into the chamber (self-loading) and prepares it for subsequent firing, but requires the shooter to manually actuate the trigger in order to discharge each shot. Typically, this involves the weapon's action utilizing the excess energy released during the preceding shot (in the form of recoil or high-pressure gas expanding within the bore) to unlock and move the bolt, extracting and ejecting the spent cartridge case from the chamber, re-cocking the firing mechanism, and loading a new cartridge into the firing chamber, all without input from the user. To fire again, however, the user must actively release the trigger, allow it to "reset", before pulling the trigger again to fire off the next round. As a result, each trigger-pull only discharges a single round from a semi-automatic weapon, as opposed to a fully automatic weapon, which will shoot continuously as long as the ammunition is replete and the trigger is kept depressed.

Ferdinand Ritter von Mannlicher produced the first successful design for a semi-automatic rifle in 1885, and by the early 20th century, many manufacturers had introduced semi-automatic shotguns, rifles and pistols.

In military use, the semi-automatic M1911 handgun was adopted by the United States Army in 1911, and subsequently by many other nations. Semi-automatic rifles did not see widespread military adoption until just prior to World War II, the M1 Garand being a notable example. Modern service rifles such as the M4 carbine are often selective-fire, capable of semi-automatic and automatic or burst-fire operation. Civilian variants such as the AR-15 are generally semi-automatic only.

Most pistols and rifles tend to be semi-auto. It appears there is some confusion of the concept , mostly among the firearm-phobic.

Thanks for sharing, unsurprised that the OP censored Musk actual comments. Typical tyrant

I don't use Twitter, or the other two.

So?
You are the one who brought up Twitter...shrugs

 

[Biff_Poindexter]

when did anyone say the Second gave people unfettered access to any weapon he or she wants?

It does.....can you tell me where it restricts your access to own whatever weapon you want?


You are not the militia...so how does it regulate you?
You are basically saying your right to own whatever weapon you want, should be infringed on

the Second Amendment applies to individuals too....all rights in the US Constitution are not without limits.

For example, a warrant is not always required, you can be held without bond, I can't scarfice my first born in the name of Abraham and claim it's my faith.

 

[Biff_Poindexter]

says the guy that posted a tweet in the OP....

Yes, i posted his Tweet for the morons who cry fake news...
I like to back up what I say with multiple sources...
Something you haven't done yet...

I mentioned Twitter was the only time I ever cared what Musk did. Your reading comprehension is poor.

Did the language of text say it??

Yes, you basically are making my point dumb ass


You are more willing to give Elon a pass because of what you think his buying Twitter will do the the "libs" -- which is some pretty bitch ass logic...but that's common for your ilk

 

[Stryder50]

"when", or more correctly "where" does the Second Amendment say or restrict what weapons one may own?

I have a sabre(sword) with sharpened edge hanging on my wall. If I wanted to go wacko, I could go into a public area and start slashing and cutting people. That makes my sabre an "assault weapon", since I can use it to assault people. Heck, even my baseball bat can be used as an assault weapon.

I've seen a couple of street fights where the outnumbered lad, once down on the ground, begins to receive the kicking and head stomping. While such might not kill him (though it could) often the injuries can be life altering and/or crippling. Can we make shoes and boots classed as assault weapons? You need a background check and permit to own a pair of Doc Martins!
