Assault weapons and large magazines ban upheld in New York and Conneticut

[2aguy]

Gun manufacturers FUND more than half of the NRA budget (not membership dues)

The NRA extorts congressional candidates with threats to do the NRA's bidding

Courts have just dealt a blow to both manufacturers and NRA basically exposing that "the emperor may indeed have no clothes on..."

Long in coming to stop the madness of right wingers who use their guns as an extension of their masculinity.....if you know what I mean.

Weong...that has been shown to be a lie already.

Assault is an ACTION you moron NOT a weapon. Damn you are ignorant.

but what action does this ''assault" weapon achieve and who rightfully regulates its lawful purpose?

The assault is committed by a PERSON not a weapon.
Why regulate the weapon when the person is at fault?

Can a lunatic run up a victim count of fifteen, eighteen, twenty or more without a semi-automatic firing system and a magazine holding fifteen, eighteen or twenty rounds?

Sure. Off the top of my head, with a couple of pump shotguns.

3 revolvers......that would be 18 shots...for the left wing gun grabbers who went to democrat run schools....

You posted this lie at least once before.

No different than labor unions or any other special interest group.

Courts have just dealt a blow to both manufacturers and NRA basically exposing that "the emperor may indeed have no clothes on..."

Another lie.

Long in coming to stop the madness of right wingers who use their guns as an extension of their masculinity.....if you know what I mean.

More proof that you can only argue from emotion, ignorance and/or dishonesty.

Supreme Court refuses to take up NRA challenge to San Francisco gun law
The NRA is slowly losing the war....one battle at a time.

The fact that there is no sound argument for the necessity and/or constitutionality of banning 'assault weapons' means that you anti-gun loons will lose.

 

[Valerie]

sure, the argument is so unsound that courts continue to rule in its favor.

Today less than half of the NRA's revenues come from program fees and membership dues.

The bulk of the group's money now comes in the form of contributions, grants, royalty income, and advertising, much of it originating from gun industry sources.

Since 2005, the gun industry and its corporate allies have given between $20 million and $52.6 million to it through the NRA Ring of Freedom sponsor program. Donors include firearm companies like Midway USA, Springfield Armory Inc, Pierce Bullet Seal Target Systems, and Beretta USA Corporation. Other supporters from the gun industry include Cabala's, Sturm Rugar & Co, and Smith & Wesson.

The NRA also made $20.9 million — about 10 percent of its revenue — from selling advertising to industry companies marketing products in its many publications in 2010, according to the IRS Form 990.

You posted this lie at least once before.

The NRA, which began as a grassroots organization dedicated to teaching marksmanship, entered the 2012 election season as a lobbying, merchandising and marketing machine that brings in more than $200 million a year and intends to help unseat the incumbent president. From 2004 to 2010, the group’s revenue from fundraising -- including gifts from gun makers who benefit from its political activism -- grew twice as fast as its income from members’ dues, according to NRA tax returns.

More than 50 firearms-related companies have given at least $14.8 million to the Fairfax, Virginia-based group, according to the NRA’s own list for a donor program that began in 2005. That same year, NRA lobbyists helped win passage of a federal law that limited liability claims against gun makers. Former NRA President Sandy Froman wrote that it “saved the American gun industry from bankruptcy.”

"Gun control laws passed in New York and Connecticut to ban the possession of semi-automatic weapons and large-capacity magazines after the 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook elementary school were mostly upheld on Monday by a federal appeals court."

If in fact these new laws occur as is stated above then the majority of guns which are presently owned by private citizens in those jurisdictions are hereby banned. Because every revolver and every automatic pistol in existence is semi-automatic. There also are many semi-automatic hunting rifles and shotguns which in no way resemble so-called "assault" weapons.

For the benefit of those who simply don't know; a semi-automatic firearm is one which is loaded with a number of rounds and one round is fired each time the trigger is pulled. That describes all handguns and a substantial percentage of long guns.

Little by little, step by step, these sonsabitches will disarm every law-abiding American. We will be permitted to keep one single-shot .22 rifle chambered for short and bear it only to a federally supervised range in a locked case. Ammunition will be issued for each shooting session and must be expended then and there.

Its inevitable that threads such as this one will ELICIT a bunch of right wingers who will easily "teach" us all about guns because.......well because, theyhave no other means of conveying the size of their penises.

Well, YOU can always join a militia group....as the 2nd amendment actually intended.

It will never happen. You see, you and the NRA want to play the all or nothing game.

"THEY ARE TAKING OUR GUNS AWAY! OBAMA IS MAKING AN EXECUTIVE ORDER TO MAKE GUNS ILLEGAL!"

Of course they are all lies. That is the way the GOP and the far right work. Throw fear into the hearts of everyone by tossing lies and fabrications against the wall, knowing that there are some FOX hugging, knuckle draggers out there who will gobble them up like candy.

Rather than come up with some common sense laws, the far right and the NRA battle using ignorance, lies, and fabrications.
