"These Repeat Guns and Semi-Automatics are the danger. Who needs these?"

These Repeat Guns and Semi-Automatics are the danger. Who needs these?


to do Hunting...How many Deer can you slaughter to feed One Family for food for a year?

How many Terrorists can you SHOOT DOWN...given you can get the opportunity to do it...and if you want that opportunity then SIGN UP to SERVE in the US Military and you can go KILL all over the WORLD and mow them down with your Semi wherever they Lurk!

But here in the USA...should this kind of "Repeat Automatic Gun with "reload magazines" that can be done instantly be tolerated?

BUT...is it an infringement on our Freedoms for these Lone Mental Patients to ACT OUT?

What do we do about this?

It will end in STALEMATE as Usual...but, it's good to PUSH BACK. I sure want to but realize NRA RULES! So what do we do about that, Will Pitt?

We've dealt with this before.....but, it goes NOWHERE with tragic repercussions going on.

What are WE to do About This?

3. Of course it is an issue. But profits override the safety of the 99%. Congress works for the 1%. nm

Armend Security Guards who guard them and their Children 24/7...while someone with a five dollar bag of weed or such gets thrown into Prison for years...THEY and their FELLOW 1% get to be guardians of Big Pharma who do good bringing Drugs to Third World Countries to SAVE THE POOR.

They are Lauded and Praised by ALL OF US ...because they do "God's Work" or they Founded Microsoft or they Headed up US BAILED OUT BANKS!

The sad state of things.

Many here aren't familiar with the Brady Bill after "St. Ronnie" was almost assassinated way back.

They have short memories. I won't bother to do the work for the links...because "THEY" don't read links because it isn't in "Twitter Mode" and short.

Not blaming them...it's just what it is in AMERICA these days. Folks working hard , fear of losing jobs...little time to really "READ" and trying to just "get along" to survive.

That's AMERICA THESE DAYS. (Just "Getting Along to Survive&quot

It's what it is...but, those of us who can keep PUSHING BACK...need to KEEP ...PUSHING BACK...becaue our Civilization depends on what AMERICA DOES!
