Guns: how much longer will it take ....

2017 marked first year firearms killed more people than car accidents: study

The number of Americans who died from firearms surpassed those who died in car accidents for the first time in 2017,
according to a new far-reaching report on gun violence.

The report, released Wednesday by Democratic members of the congressional Joint Economic Committee (JEC), found
that nearly 40,000 people were killed in the U.S. by a gun, including approximately 2,500 school-age children.

“That is over 100 people per day and more than five children killed each day,” the report stated.

In 2017, 37,133 people died in motor vehicle crashes, according to the Department of Transportation.

Additionally, the report found that race and where you live are key indicators in tracking gun violence and deaths. The
report found that rural states have the highest rates of gun violence “measured as a share of their economies,” including
Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana and West Virginia.

and will be ruling against you again in this session when they take on the New York anti-gun law.

Come on people. Don't argue with baldy and ollie. After all they are both supreme court justices and have interpreted the second amendment as to its real meaning.

The right to shoot whom ever one wants to. Especially school children.

The question is - how many of your oppositions normal voters, would change their vote to vote for your party because of the new policy.

Here's a lesson for Democrats on how to have courage -- and what happens when you quit cowering and take a stand. A week ago Thursday at the ABC News Democratic presidential debate, candidate Beto O'Rourke made this proclamation, one that no Democratic presidential candidate had EVER made:

"Hell yes we are going to take away your AR-15, your AK-47s!"

The audience in Houston went crazy with wild applause, many leaping to their feet to show their approval of what he just said.

But the Democratic Party establishment was aghast. They went into immediate damage control, dispatching their pundits to the talk shows to try to distance the Party from O'Rourke's comments. They were convinced that his bold warning to gun nuts would hurt the Democrats in November 2020. For years the Democrats have been afraid to be seen as anti-gun.

Democratic candidates always make sure they do photo ops firing guns to show their support for the 2nd Amendment.

O'Rourke just came out and said it: I'm going to do everything I can to stop the sales of military weapons to civilians.

If you have one of these mass-killing guns we will buy it back from you. But make no mistake: AR-15s, just like tanks, rocket launchers and weapons-grade plutonium are not "arms" protected by the constitution and you will have to turn them over if you possess them.

Fellow Democrats immediately attacked him -- EVEN THOUGH 78% OF AMERICANS DO NOT OWN A GUN, Dem Party leaders are afraid to do anything more than background checks (which nearly all mass shooters would've passed). Yet, just one week after Beto said what the majority of Americans want, this announcement came from the headquarters of Colt Guns, the maker of the AR-15:

"We will no longer sell the AR-15 to the public." -Colt.

BOOM! Barely a week after Beto said it, the AR-15 was taken off the market. The connection was crystal clear: Once it got said out loud, and the threat made by Beto to Colt to end the AR-15 was cheered on by the public, Colt read the writing on the wall -- get in front of this now or the American people will be coming to ban more than just the AR-15. And thus the lesson for the Democrats and everyone else was so obvious: Sometimes change can occur when just ONE person has the guts to say it.

I am no fan of Beto, BUT --

That's not what the Democrats are doing though.

The Democrats are lying about ordinary weapons and acting as if they are some sort of military weapons.

Stoner designed guns with full-auto capability for our soldiers. He did not try to foist any semi-auto-only guns onto the military.

Your ilk can probably bog everyone down with semantics and get away with it, but it doesn't affect some simple truths.

An assault rifle is by definition capable of firing in automatic mode.

Semi automatic rifles are assault weapons. The operative word is assault.

The ability to fire large quantities of bullets as fast as you can pull a trigger is not something that was developed for sports or hunting though it can be used that way. The capability was developed for killing large numbers of people accurately and quickly. It was developed because of the needs of the soldier in combat.

Thus "military style assault weapon".

The only people who try to act like this is nebulous are you and your ilk.

Just like everyone but dedicated perverts understand porn when they see it, everyone but deranged gun nuts understands what an assault weapon is when another mass shooter uses one.
