We're sorry that your paranoia has made you afraid of the government & law enforcement, BUT...

YOU & YOUR STOOGES LOSE YOUR SEAT AT THE TABLE!



The bottom line is a simple one. The adults want to have a conversation about guns in this country.
People like Wayne LaPierre and Senator Cruz represent the immature and irrational arguments of “criminals break laws so why try?” And, “don’t punish law-abiding citizens by regulating semi-automatic firearms.” These are arguments that don’t hold water when you realize that in Senator Feinstein’s bill there’s no mention of taking any legally owned guns from anyone, and that laws are broken all the time but that doesn’t mitigate the need for them. If they are going to insist on acting like this, they are abdicating their seat at the table, and the more sane gun owners, like Capt. Kelly and Rep. Giffords, can speak more loudly and clearly, without having to get over the noise and fear mongering of the NRA and their stooges in the Republican Party.

and it is being done by the DHS (who now interfere with police agencies through the iWatch program). sheriffs are rolling out drones and armored vehicles, SWAT teams are being given tech still currently in use by the US Marine corps (M32 or its predecessor in the hands of Anaheim SWAT, reported here in GD last year). DHS have ordered hundreds of millions of rounds of deadly hollow-point ammunition and will not discuss it. The US military have been engaging in co-ordinated drills with law enforcement over the last year. There is zero zero zero need for all of this. It's post 9/11 neocon bullshit.

When those who are purposely militarizing police and are building 64 drone bases inside the US to spy upon Americans begin talking about "gun control" (for citizens only), it's a very difficult day. "Antinomy".

Everything I have mentioned, I've posted about in GD with valid non-RWNJ sourcing, excepting legitimate video I didn't know was being hosted by RWNJ channels on youtube. The host does not invalidate the material.

Where is your outrage, America? Americans aren't terrorists yet "anti-terrorism" is being used as an excuse to spend billions supporting the concept. That in itself is more outrageous than anything the NRA have yet said. This IS the "more guns" NRA talking point, under a different guise.
