Anyone remember the old line about Richard Nixon?

"Would you buy a used car from this man?"

This was posted on the other group yesterday:

The correct answer to this lie is: "We don't want to take away your guns, or ban and confiscate them.


From the same source:

I too have contributed to most of the gun control organizations. For anyone who is interested in finding out more about Everytown For Gun Safety, you can click this link:

Definitely a step toward moving the already growing call for more gun control measures in this nation forward. Great work by Everytown for Gun Safety.

Unfortunately for them, this was posted (and quickly deleted) last June- but not before
a screenshot was taken of it:



What would be more telling? That they believe what they say, or that they don't?

One passed in Connecticut, and Diane Feinstein's quick attempt at a new Federal ban failed.

posts including in "bansalot" advocating taking away and banning weapons. Sure they do not want that, what bull. I just take them at their own words.

One poster makes a point of mocking the idea that "anyone who thinks they want to take all your guns away is obviously paranoid".

Then in the same thread, a demand from another for banning all AR15 pattern rifles, M1 Garands, Carbines and any other semi-auto rifles you may have.

I guess that doesn't count as a "ban", since they are "letting us" keep our lever action rifles that hold less than 10 rounds ... for now anyway.

The comforting part is, all they seem to be capable of is whining and obfuscation and getting an occasional DU post hidden. No legislation at the Federal level for 2 decades, a state level "success" here and there and 50 states with CCW and not one demand to repeal it. That track record with several Billionaires and their paid for Astroturf organizations backing their play.

Well, then again, they do have cartoons on their side, so there's that.
