Weapons of war? Really?

Another gun hating rant, this time in the Portland Tribune. Penny Okamato from the hate group Oregon Ceasefire wrote the screed.

As is typical of these things it was filled with lies. I hope I made their butt hurt when I made the appropriate corrections. Will these liberal gun haters ever figure out that they are losing? Most of these organizations are only one or two people because they can't get the donations to pay anyone.


" Subcompact machine guns, like the “Tommy Gun,” were quickly adopted by U.S. criminals and outlawed in 1934."

No they weren't. There were regulated by the government. To own one you have to submit to a background check and pay a $200 tax.

"y years later, the semi-automatic descendants of these weapons, such as the AR-15 assault rifle and UZI assault pistol, were being used by criminals to terrorize American streets."

According to the FBI, all long guns are used in less than 2% of crimes.

"In response, Congress passed the Federal Assault Weapons Ban in 1994, prohibiting new manufacture of a wide number of assault weapons"

Again, no. All the failed AWB did was limit the size of new magazines and ban a couple of cosmetic things like flash suppressors and bayonet lugs. It changed no crime statistics.

" But fully automatic machine guns are available, and converting semi-auto assault rifles to fully automatic is illegal but easily done."

Illegal yes, easily done, no. You don't convert one of these to full auto with a file. There is very specific machining that has to be done and very special parts. The myth of "full auto kits" available at gun shows ij just a liberal gun hating lie.

"100-round magazines are available on the Internet to anyone with a credit card."

And they are junk. The one the Colorado shooter used jammed, keeping the death toll down.

"The NRA and its supporters don’t like the term “assault rifle.”".

Because it's a bullshit term made up by Josh Sugarman of the VPC. A known liberal idiot gun hater.

"Here’s what one 78-year-old hunter said: “I am a hunter and have been all my life. My family hunts as well. . . ."

What he's really saying is I support the 2nd Amendment, but. Right after they say but, you know they are going to say some stupid shit like guns are fine as long as they are like the ones I own. They are known as Fudds. After Elmer Fudd, whose only weapon is a shotgun. I dare any of these liberal asshats to show me the right to hunt in the Constitution.

"Obama came out in favor of stricter regulation of assault rifles. “I think we recognize the traditions of gun ownership that passed on from generation to generation,” he said. “But I also believe that a lot of gun owners would agree that AK-47s belong in the hands of soldiers, not in the hands of criminals, that they belong on the battlefield of war, not on the streets of our cities.”".

He's never read Tence Coxe.
" Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American. What clause in the state or federal constitution hath given away that important right.... T he unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the foederal or state governments, but where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people."

You liberal idiot pisswits have no concept of "the right of the people" or "shall not be infringed". The government does not "give" us rights and the Constitution puts limits on what the government can do. I'll keep my freedom thank you. If you don't want freedom, you are free to move someplace they don't have any.
