Gotta' Grab Them Guns!

So our Mumbler-in-Chief is once again trying to ban so-called "assault weapons." 

Those are the scary-looking semi-automatic, one-trigger-pull, one-shot-fired, uber-popular rifles that the liberals just love to hate.  And boy, does crusty old O'Biden reeely hate these ordinary, everyday rifles!

Trying to outlaw them has been his fallback position for decades.  He along with aged Sen. Feinstein (D-CA) sponsored the 1994 "Assault Weapons Ban" that was in effect for 10 years.  When it didn't prove to reduce crime and deaths, no matter what they tell you, it expired.  And O'Biden has dreamed of reinstituting it as his signature "gift" to America.  

He just waits until some crazed weirdo shoots up someplace or other, rushes to the nearest microphone and starts mumbling incoherently.  Spittle a'flying.  Arms a'waving.  Gotta' grab them guns!  

Well, Joe, here's a few things you simply gotta' learn before this effort comes back to bite you in your aged butt: 

100,000,000 of your fellow gun-owning Americans didn't shoot anybody yesterday.

A few people may have, but One Hundred Million did not.

Actually many more than One Hundred Million gun owners, as reported by the FBI.  Some 35% of all households in the Country have a gun on board.  And that same FBI tells us that we now have 465,000,000 guns in circulation.  And we're selling 3 million more of them every month.  To folks who are justifiably scared of what O'Biden has permitted America to become.

More than 60% are being bought by women, BTW, and 55% are being bought by Black folks!  Surprised?  You shouldn't be.  They can read the tea leaves, and don't like what they see...

Oh yeah, there have been far too many "mass shootings" of late.  The natural extension of failing to punish people for criminal behavior is more criminal behavior.  And more serious criminal behavior.  Ever wonder if these killers might have altered their plans if they thought they'd meet armed resistance when they showed up, gun in hand?  Somebody with a firearm there who might thwart their nefarious plan?  Remember, mass killers want to go out in a blaze of glory.  They DO NOT want to be dropped like a bad habit on the sidewalk outside their target location.  Need proof?  When was the last time there was a mass shooting at a police station?  Or a gun show?  Or at a shooting range?  Or a rodeo?     

And folks are buying our Most Popular Firearm, the AR-15, like hotcakes.  More than 100 companies manufacture the AR- and AK- platform rifles, and dealers can't keep them in stock.  And the more the ignorant loudmouth politicians bleat about outlawing AR's and AK's, the faster they sell.  There are more than 19,000,000 of them now in the hands of our citizens, who use them every day for target shooting, hunting and self-defense.  Why?  Because they're light, simple, modular and cheap.

You may have always wondered why people love their AR-15's.  Now you know...

O'Biden and his sycophants try and convince the unknowing that these rifles are "weapons of war."  Apparently they do not know that the usual caliber this weapon comes in (5.56mm/.223) has been declared insufficiently powerful to ethically hunt deer in most states.  Lemme' say that again: they're not powerful enough.  Let that sink in.  As for the politicians?  They have sh*t for brains.    

And you might be surprised to learn that our same FBI tells us fewer than 3% of all firearm deaths result from long guns, i.e., rifles and shotguns.  So when our bloviating politicians trample each other to get to a microphone after another mass shooting to call for the "control" (confiscation) of AR-15's once again, whether one was used in the shooting or not, you might just go ahead an yawn; the owners of these weapons are now beyond caring.  It's been this incessant drip, drip, drip of one new anti-gun law after another for the past couple of decades in these Deep Blue states.  And they are "up to here" with this nonsense.  Remember, the 2nd Amendment says, "shall not be infringed."  And these dimbulbs are infringing on it.  

More proof?  Taxifornia is the second most "gun controlled" state in the Union.  In fact, Boy Guv Newsom has burdened us with 112 brand-new gun control executive orders since he was immaculated.  And still we've had 3 mass shootings in the last 8 days.  And none from AR-15's, BTW.  And Lori Lightbrain's Chicago had 34 shot and 11 killed over this past weekend.  And it's the most gun controlled place in America.  Go figure...

So why are the millions of AR owners so cavalier about prospective legislation?  For one simple reason:  Nobody's gonna' come for their legally acquired firearms.  And God help them if they try.  There's not enough soldiers, sailors and Marines to come to each of our houses, even were they so inclined (which they aren't!).  And even if the National Guard were called in, the Guard is made up of your pharmacist, your mechanic and your next door neighbor, fergodssake!  And they all shoot and hunt and own guns for self-protection.  And they are NOT coming to your house for your guns.  Nor allowing anyone to come to theirs.

And oh yeah, they've only been compiling registries of guns and their owners recently.  As in, they don't know where all the guns are.  And the gun owners aren't telling.  You know the primary difference between Cuba, and China, and Russia, and North Korea and the United States?  We still have our guns.  

They do not...

So it's a classic Mexican standoff.  We just have to figure out who's the Mexicans, and who's the ones which ain't...

(One of my better rants, doncha' think?)
