The real threat that sovereign law abiding U.S. citizens are facing right now is the liberal media. They are establishing a narrative on behest of the president and his political cohorts to saturate the masses with disinformation that will garner support in subverting the Constitution, namely the 2nd Amendment, a major national security blanket for the United States. The media is telling you that guns are the heart of the problem ....................they are not. Guns have not caused these tragic shootings that America has been experiencing the last 20 years. The NRA is not to blame either. What really is to blame is a radical flawed ideology called liberalism. The media has embrace it and will stop at nothing until the goal of transforming America into a progressivism state of mind. They are the main assault weapon that you, the American citizen faces. I want you to pay attention to just 6 reasons released last month why assault weapons should not be banned. If you are blessed with good ole common sense, you should be able to agree with these logical reasons.
Well this post and video was really funny however I'm not out to Ban Assault Rifles they are perfect for home protection and repelling a foreign invasion. The US Government need to place a computer chip in
all assault rifles that would notify authority every time that anybody take a assault rifle outside of theirs private residences .... of course with the exception of a NATIONAL INVASION BY A HOSTILE COUNTRY...LOL
I just want to let you know how you are wrong about this Pic. It was taken in Israel. Anyone who has ever been to Israel knows you see a lot of armed military all over. The Women in with the Rifle is not a teacher. She is a parent Chaperone. Also, in Israel there is compulsory military duty.
Do you want to live in a society that has to provide armed escorts all over? Do you think your third grade teacher would be comfortable with a side arm while teaching long division?
We need a cultural change........Just because some of you have Micro-penis does not mean you get to dictate to the rest of us that we all need to carry a weapon.
Lastly, did you serve your Country in arms? Have you ever had a shoot an enemy combatant? It is not as easy as you would think; especially if your not expecting it.
Connecticut already had the strictest gun control laws in the country. It got 27 people killed at school. Preventing law abiding citizens from carrying a gun gets people killed. Increasing gun control increases gun violence. Wake-Up People!!!
I am a traveling service tech. I have been held at gunpoint or robbed at gunpoint at least 5 times by 7 different criminals with 7 different guns. It always happened in "Gun Free Areas" The criminals always, Always, ALWAYS had guns in the "Gun Free Areas" ! I have a CCW gun license but could not carry in those areas. Not allowing CCW is putting everyones lives in danger.
A gun free zone is a magnet for the mass murdering shooters. Just like rental cars with logo stickers on them became magnets in Florida when they passed CCW laws. After the 1987 Florida CCW law passed the Criminals figured only the tourist were un-armed. Therefore an increasing number of tourists, most of them foreign, were victims of carjackings there. Because tourists in well-marked rental cars became common carjacking victims, Florida passed legislation in 1993 (F.S.A. § 320.0601) that outlawed company logos and license plates that made rental and leased cars obvious.
All we have to do is make everyone else believe that teachers are armed & the schools will suddenly be safer. Only a few teachers actually need to be armed & schools are no longer a target. The guns would be concealed or locked in a safe so the Children would never even know a gun was present.

Would not work sworn law enforcement officers are much better protection than arm teachers and principals........
Yeah yeah media this, government that, the world is out to get you. But I'll watch your video anyway.
A few seconds in, and another BS comparison. We can't ban airplanes, obviously. I shouldn't have to explain the difference between a mode of transport and a deadly weapon.
About 40 seconds in, Ice T comes in. Just cause you're paranoid doesn't mean you should get the right to have an assault weapon. Even an assault weapon isn't going to save you from tyranny anyway.
The Constitution can be interpreted pretty loosely. I think it needs changing, but he IS right that it is the law of the land.
If the founders knew what stealth bombers, Abrams tanks, etc were, I have a hard time believing they would still think civilians should be armed equally to the military. More importantly, do any of you conservatives believe a civilian should be able to own a bomber and munitions? A tank? Just curious.
Yes, it could theoretically help in an invasion scenario, but that's unrealistic for at least the next 20 years or so. And if our government can't defeat an invading force, and somehow that invading force's supply lines and everything else that comes with an invasion survive the logistical nightmare that is invading the US, we're screwed anyway.
The reason foreign nations don't consider invading the US is the diplomatic and economic consequences, as well as the military strength of the US. Frankly it wouldn't make much sense for anyone to invade us at this point.
#5 pretty much goes against his own cause. Hell yeah guns are dangerous
He doesn't specify how many people are in the assault weapon industry specifically. Not to mention that just because civilians couldn't own the guns doesn't mean they would stop making guns for law enforcement, military, foreign nations, etc.
The United States Constitution is not INTERPRETED. It is APPLIED.
The words are written in plain English with phrases that even an uneducated farmer could understand.
Well I think that it is pretty silly to ban civilian versions of military weapons because the realty so called civilian versions of military weapons aren't full automatic nor to they even fire 3 round busts like the M4 or the M16. The civilian version of the M16 is semi-automatic like dozens of non-assault weapon semi-automatics. Ban a weapon because it has a pistol grip, is black and doesn't have a wooden stock doesn't make much sense to me because these are purely cosmetic.
BUT BANNING HI-CAPACITY MAGAZINES MAKES A WORLD OF SENSE!
No it doesn't solve the problem of gun violence but it would help.
No criminals don't pay attention to laws, but so what. The mere possession of a high capacity magazine allows law enforcement to arrest and confiscate what is out there. If prepers want to bury them for the day their Red Dawn fantasies come to fruition, fine, better buried than moving around the streets.
This is no silver bullet (pun intended) but its something.
excellent post- cant rep anymore. Not an extreme knee jerk viewpoint- just rational and logical.

You really don't know that the corporate "liberal media" is owned by Wall Street conservatives??
imho we of NRA need to support the safety of our schools instead of defending our rights to stock pile weapons. to a frustrated and angry public i would say assault weapons or those classified as such are involved in 6% of shootings. 37% of homocides do not involve firearms at all. but i understand how u feel about the children who keep getting massacred in utterly unguarded schools. one marine with a rifle could have prevented all of this. ICE needs to step in and stop this terrorism just as it has in our airports and borders. btw according to KPBS yesterday radio, 1/3 of all secondard school children know of or know someone who has come to school with a gun.
