See, as a Colorado Democrat with daughters who’ve taken NRA gun courses, she’s all for gun ownership. Only with sensible limits, you see. Like, for instance, a ban on “assault weapons.” Or on “high capacity” magazines. Which, once banned from the hands of law abiding citizens with a natural right to own the kind of weapons that aid in their protection, will never again fall in the hands of a mentally unstable person.
Because of the ban.
In fact, once such diabolical instruments of evil and mayhem are banned from the hands of law abiding citizens (who typically don’t use such weapons to shoot up movie theaters), the only people then who will have such weapons will be 1) agents of the government, and 2) those who obtain them illegally.
— At which point we’ll all be safer and the world a far less dangerous place. Because we can each of us count on agents of the government to keep us safe (even though legally they aren’t compelled to); and because criminals will fear brandishing such weapons in order not to run afoul of the ban!
And should such a ban inconvenience law abiding citizens and the mentally disturbed equally, well, that’s a sacrifice of our Second Amendment rights that the Democratic Congresswoman is willing to make! For our own protection!
After which, should a mentally disturbed person manage to get hold of, say, a shotgun and a box of shells and shoot up a 7-11 filled with law abiding citizens, the Congresswoman would perhaps be willing to entertain the idea of just cutting out the middle man and banning mentally disturbed individuals altogether.
I’m guessing they’re Daddy’s girls, and that it purely annoys the hell out of her.
The only sensible gun control involves the muzzle, the trigger, and the disciplined, coordinated action of the two.
Bets her girls have been bowling a time or two also? But own a bowling ball and shoes? Ha. Too dangerous.
“I am not a gun owner myself, ”
Kinda like Bloomingidiot isn’t a gun owner himself, but he always has a few city-owned guns holstered on the belts of his NYPD personal security detail.
“I’m not a lawn mower myself. That’s what I have Ramon for, silly!”
“Because we can each of us count on agents of the government to keep us safe (even though legally they aren’t compelled to); and because criminals will fear brandishing such weapons in order not to run afoul of the ban” Bienvenidos de Mexico!
– The girls probably like the barrels.
The article itself and the comment section its accepted as fact by both sides that he was wearing a bullet proof vest and shot those folks with an assault rifle.
Her daughters took the Eddie Eagle courses. Those courses have nothing to do with shooting, or doing anything with a gun but reporting it to the nearest adult… and if they were offered through the schools I bet she fought it tooth and nail.
What a simpleton. I mean, heck, there’s no way anyone could kill 12 unarmed people at close range in an enclosed area with mere 10 round magazines…
Or even a shotgun, amIright? Popular models can only hold up to 8 shells (with an extender tube), so that’s safe.
We’ll ignore the fact that you can continuously reload many shotguns as you go along.
