TCTI: Too Crazy Too Ignore
 Dave Ross

Just calmly getting ready

You might think the gun community is, dare I say, up in arms about a possible assault weapons ban, but cruising the Internet, they seem to be taking it calmly and just preparing for it.

"In today's video, we thought that we would explore the idea - if you had to buy five guns to prepare for a potential assault weapons ban," says a YouTube published gun expert.

And they already know which guns will be targeted first: the AR-15s.

"This is going to be the number one gun that they'll be coming for because it looks evil."

But no need to panic, because you can just buy the core part of the gun, the lower receiver, as it's called, which is maybe $150, as many as you want, and and just add the other parts later.

"Now see, this is what is considered the gun, this lower receiver. Now under an assault weapons ban if you've got 10 of these laying around all you have to do is buy the uppers and everything else is the same because that receiver was grandfathered in, in such case because it was purchased before the assault weapons ban.

And you definitely want to stock up on the high capacity magazines.

"These magazines, they sell for like $15, when the ban comes back you can sell them for a hundred bucks a piece. You need to stock up - not only on guns - but stock up on the accessories as well."

I have to say, they don't sound a bit worried. So there you have it - whether there's an assault weapons ban or not, it sounds like there are still ways to maintain an arsenal - and even make a little extra money.

    The GOP has done wonders for the economy. So well that they have lost the majority vote from 5 of the last 6 presidential elections.

    Dave, for all the sound and the furry, this signifies nothing. - But I think you DO know that.

    The president and Dianne Feinstein can bluster and propose all they want, but virtually go gun legislation is going to get thru the Senate - even with 55 democrats - let alone the House. ... Heck, on this one, Obama can't even count on Harry Reid's vote. ....... And don't even count on executive action. Obama may have different ideas about the Constitution, but he's not stupid.

    So, again a lot of bluster - and a lot of liberals can get good press for their voters - but nothing is going to happen. The Second Amendment is part of the Constitution. And along with speech, press, religion and assembly, most Americans want to keep rights right where they are.

    because the NRA has already flooded the streets with child-killer guns and cop-killer bullets.

    Has no clue what he's talking about aka "cop killer" bullets. He thinks, speaks and reacts according to his emotions in the moment, not logic and reasoning (takes too much time and effort).

    Of course it makes sense if the NRA wants to overthrow the U.S. government they'll need weapons, ammo and armor better than anything the cops they will be shooting at will have.

    It was kind of a rhetorical question. Cop killer bullet is another nonsensical term misused the frighten those not into firearms. It's a bullet that will penetrate body armor, which is any rifle round. Body armor can only withstand the slower rounds from handguns. In order to stop a rifle bullet, one would have to be wearing thick steel plates. When your grand-dad went deer hunting, you didn't know he was using "cop killers", did you?

    I noticed you didn't ask what a child-killer gun is.
    January 25, 2013 6:19 pm
    Apparently that's because you already know.

    What the he11 is that supposed to mean? I show up here for a little discourse and take stabs at no one. Out of the blue, you attempt to stir up some controversy by insinuating that I have intimate knowledge of killing kids. That's a mighty pathetic sense of humor eating away at your gut.

    The very thing politicians are trying to deter is just causing more of it to happen. e.g. deter gun use, and now we see a rise in gun purchases. I think we live in a schizophrenic society. We're trying to prevent killings but we legalize abortion. We're trying to outlaw the means(guns) with which the killings occur. Isn't the corollary then to outlaw the tools used for abortion? The problem is in the minds of the people pulling the trigger. We're unwilling to talk about the violent video games that depict gloom and desperation while glorifying "going out in a blaze". It's too bad we as a country can't tackle problems I think are more important. - Dependency on fossil fuels - National debt - Infrastructure - Personal responsibility - Education

    Hey Seattle Dbag your right. Or at the very least some very watered down version of what your beloved regime has promised.

    As for the rest of what you posted? Whatever!
