Trump Admin. Stakes out Position on Gun Control

[BluesStringer]

Their needs to be a number. How many rounds should a gun have?
I will keep my gun's and give up the high capacity mags. I have 30's and don't need them.(I'm not at war)
So is it 5 or 7 or 10 rounds ?
Outside of a bolt gun's, all rifles are or could be "Assault rifles".
But we end up with the same problem,only the people that follow the Law will turn in high capacity mag's. And their not the problem in the first place.Or their gun's.

Its the lack of "GOD" in peoples heart's that maybe the problem ? Sad.

If you're willin' to have the government order you to hand over your 30-round mags, what if I asked all polite and friendly-like for you to donate them to folks in other states whose governments have already stolen their liberty to own 'em? Send 'em to me and I'll buy a ticket for 'em on the underground railroad to put them in the hands of patriots to the Founders' Constitution to use if/when the masses ever gain a hair on its collective butt to fight tyranny with. Even if no such hair grows, those patriots can, will and do train for such a day, and their appreciation will be palpable even if non-directed to the right parties due to the necessary anonymity needed to keep the program running.

A now-deceased acquaintance of mine once said something to the effect of, "If government is bound and determined to turn you into an outlaw, be the best damned outlaw you can be." He didn't "need" all the 30-rounders he had either, and set about creating the aforementioned underground railroad so that he could put his "extras" in the hands of people having their liberty denied by their state governments. It's been quite awhile since I tried to donate, but send me all ya got and I'll find a way to help government-created outlaws be the best outlaws they can be.

Alternatively to sending your 30-rounders to patriots, you could send them directly to the tyrants who passed the laws in those patriots' states. The tyrants would then be in possession of banned mags, and subject to the same penalties (once law enforcement in their jurisdiction is notified of the delivery) as any subject...er...uh...I mean "citizen" of that state would be. We'll call it the same my deceased acquaintance did, "Toys for Totalitarians." There's even a pre-written letter there with just the right combination of acerbic wit, contempt and patriotic fervor that the deceased author wrote to his "targets." Don't worry. You wouldn't get in trouble for lifting the letter or anything. The author's dead. He's not using it anymore, and even when he was alive, I have little doubt that he'd have been thrilled, well, to death that anyone thought enough of his letter to use it themselves. So go for it. I can recommend some states where they would be appropriate to send to....

Think its still the human problem.

It is and until Pastor Guest's solution has manifest, you / we all may, in the near future, find we're gonna need all the "resources" available to us.

Your heart aches, my heart aches and such is the case for many of us. There is nothing that any of us can do to change what has happened or events of the future ... nothing.

There are things we can do to relieve the state's media imposed guilt but right now I'm still workin on the being white.

Nope. Apparently, government bans are preferable to some folks who accept the government telling them what they "need" (or not). It truly is baffling, ain't it though?

So the CDC says:

“We’re in the science business and the evidence-generating business,

Yeah, I'll BET they are in the evidence-generating business. I can just see how having them investigate causes is going to turn out.

Only fools disarm.

I am well aware of that truism, and I am the farthest thing from a disarmament proponent you will find on this board. Did it appear otherwise to you, or did you just address the above to the wrong person in this thread? There is obviously at least one person in this thread who needed to hear that. It wasn't I.

Another one of Trump's ideas.

Trump insists only way to stop a bad mentally ill guy with a gun is a good mentally ill guy with a gun

Agreed. A government that can take a populace's weapons, can, and WILL take everything else. Unfortunately, most of the people in this country have been ill-educated in the matter of world history. Socialism and communism are seen as the great saviors that will make everything/everyone equal, and destroy the evil capitalists. These fools will eventually destroy this country, just as fools destroyed Rome.

Until that time comes, give not one concession to these savages.
