captain howdy Worst part is that he is a foreigner who was welcomed in america. but then turns around and trys to take a shit on it with his bullshit politics. If you don't like the second amendment then sorry that means you don't like one of the key foundations of America.
That's literally the first thing that goes through my head when there's a shooting, so I must be the absolute worst kind of person. People die every day, but gun rights have a tendency of only dying once.
No that means you never gave a fuck when normal crimes happen with pistols, but as soon as a politician said those black guns hit me right in the feels you happened to agree. Or with less assumptions for what you don't see you don't care only if you are told to care.
Is there any way the NRA can clone Colion Noir? The man knows his stuff. I'd love to have him go head to head and debate some famous anti-gun person on TV.
DUDE you got me at "you think pew is the sound a suppressor makes, you proud of yourself right now because when you heard me say that you though to your self no because thats the sound a silencer makes" AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH +1 Like
If you put a 30 magazine bullet assault clip in an assault rifle it turns it into a full auto puppy killing, penguin slaying, baby blood drinking assault weapon of mass destruction.
People that know what they're talking about say the darndest things! Harumph Sir! Thank you Mr Noir. I wish more of our fellow citizens would rally to this position.
Some of us have never held, let alone owned or used a firearm but that does not make us gun control hypocrites. Some of us simply live in areas that are effectively what you'd term as a 'gun free zone'. I call mine, England. The reason for my firearm status is not my own choosing but as a result of political corruption.
***** Thanks for that. I've given gun control some considerable and very careful thought. Even though I'm not a lawyer like some here is, I've come to the conclusion that I wholly support _genuine_ gun control. The problem is that because of dishonourable people on the left, it's not possible to talk about gun control without clarifying what one means. Surely gun control is self explanatory, the control of a gun. What the left talks about as gun control is merely mislabelled people control.
Adrian Fisher *Surely gun control is self explanatory, the control of a gun.* "I have a very strict gun control policy. If there's a gun around, I want to be in control of it." --- Clint Eastwood "...and don't call me Shirley." --- Leslie Nielsen _(Airplane)_ *What the left talks about as gun control is merely mislabelled people control.* That's one way of accurately describing it. Another term I often use is "civilian disarmament". The anti-gun crowd doesn't truly want "gun control"; what they want is for *the government* to own all the guns.
***** I'm not a supporter of guns as such because it's not possible to like something I've never done. I am a supporter of the right of the individual to choose for themselves though. PS: Love the Leslie Nielson quote ;)
Guns are terrible and should be banned and made impossible to buy. Oh and I just bought a Smith and Wesson M&P 9 today with Ttrijicon HD night sights and 2 extra magazines. :D
Stephen Maurer Hugo Schmeisser was commissioned by Hitler to create the MP44. It was made from 1943 to 1945. In the heat of WWII. It was made for infantrymen and only given to infantrymen. So why would Hitler use it as propaganda?
vDeparture Yes. Hitler was sold on the Mauser rifle. However, German troops wanted a rugged intermediate range rifle/ pistol like weapon. Thus the MP44 and the kurz8mm rounds was developed. The nazi government labeled it the "sturmgehwer" or assault rifle.... To paint the image of German troops on the offensive. However, by 1944... the wehrmacht was losing battles on the eastern front.
yep armalite rifle model 15 designed by eugene stoner even though they girlied it up a bit by makeing it 556 and 223 instead of 762 and 308 like it was intended
Mark Sampson 7.62 NATO and 308 Winchester have different case dimensions. The dimensions are very close and a good number of rifles can fire both cartridges, but may perform better with one over the other.
No argument here Mr. McDaniel, I hope I don't come off as a nit picky little bitch. Just gets a little irritating listening to peoples opinion of how ineffective 5.56x45 cartridge is.
Yea until the party line was to ban guns. She has said if the votes were there shed have banned guns altogether. Except for her of course because she's allowed to be armed being a congresswoman and all or whatever her excuse is. She started carrying because her house was broken into. Good enough reson for her. Everyone though can't defend themselves.
Just about every (further) gun control advocate I talk to seems to think that how gun stores work is you just simply walk into it with cash and come out with any gun of your choice including handguns. The last one I bought was the Shield, and the process to get it is more exhausting than it should be. First of all I had to obtain a CCH, and here, what you have to do is go to your local Sheriff's office, get the forms needed. Then get four of your friends to sign the form, then send it in. After that they get questionnaires and they have to fill them out, notarize them, then mail them. After that in 2-3 weeks you'll get your CCH permit. That only has to be done once(in every 5 years if that provision of the SAFE act takes effect before it's repealed.) Then to actually pick up a pistol you have to take a trip to the gun store, pick out the pistol you want, fill out FFL and background check forms. The clerk calls it in and will get one of three answers depending on the results of the background check; Proceed, Delay, or Deny. Then they'll take your money, give you a receipt, which you have to take to the pistol permit clerk, meaning another road trip, and they'll print the model and serial on the permit, then back to the gun store to pick up your purchase.
Wow. What state is that? I'm guessing somewhere in the northeast? I thought it was bad here in Illinois. You need a "FOID" card to buy any gun (firearms owners identification). You get that by picking up a FOID application from any gun dealer. Fill it out like any other background check. Send it to the Illinois State Police in Springfield with a $10 money order. They have 30 days to send your card or notification of denial. Once you have that, it's a 24hr wait for long guns, and a 3 day wait for pistols. I thought that was bad coming from WV where all u need is a state ID, a 30min background check, and out the door you go with your new gun. What you described sounds like my idea of hell.
Dilan Gilluly You didn't at all. In fact, I am against the Safe Act. I agree with you, that it should be repealed. But if you were wondering what party support the bill, it was both of the major party.
+melostmo Actually, you might be a "gun control hypocrite" if you are worried that your second amendment rights are being violated, yet you want to kick journalists that you disagree with out of the country.....
it has something to do with it when your race has never reached that level of office before. it wouldn't matter to someone white because 99.9% of every other person to reach the highest level of office, has been white. so no, it wouldn't matter to you. but for the first black president to fuck up, means something to young black kids that weren't born being told they could ever reach that high. there... did i answer your question?
How is placing my wellbeing above a criminal wishing to do me harm not valuing humanity? The fact that I am willing to go through the trouble of conceal carrying, training, and all that goes with firearm ownership, to protect my loved ones shows I very much value humanity. Maybe it is you that is only willing to ‘hope for the best’ that doesn’t value humanity.
What separates me is that I am not looking harm others or to take what is not mine. If I'm sitting at home and this guy kicks in my door uninvited (several laws broking by him in that act), ignoring my warnings to not come in, then YES, I have EVERY right (and the law is on my side) to use deadly force to protect myself and my family. The law sets parameters for a civilized society, the criminal has chosen to ignore those parameters. He is responsible for his own consequences.
I have listened to this guy on several videos and I LIKE THIS GUY! He makes more sense and is more knowledgeable than anyone in DC and in Hollywood. My hat is off to you sir!
My friend was shot in the head by a gangbanger with a full auto ak47. He is luckily still alive, and only suffers from seizures sometimes. The firearm was stolen, he was a felon, and it was fully-automatic weapon in the state of California. The can he was in was stolen, filled with drugs, and also unregistered. Glad all those laws kept him from commiting crimes.
A more relevant question is: "when was the last time a mass-shooting victim was found to have a firearm on their person", or "when was the last time an armed civilian was present and did nothing to impede the actions of the mass-shooter or lessen the damage to any degree". When mass-shootings start occuring at shooting ranges, gun clubs, firearm retailers or any other establishment with a high percentage of armed civilians, I'll change my mind about armed civilians being a deterent...
1) "assaults OR murders" lumps two groups together, assaults MASSIVELY outnumber murders, so that helps. 2) Ignore all cases where a bad guy is not killed, (possibly where he's shot and lived too) (depending on which study you use, defensive gun uses only kill or injure the attacker 4-1 percent of the time.) *usually a warning is enough, criminals aren't all suicidal. 3) Count suicides, injuries from negligence, and family member murders together to make the number bigger.
As Mark Twain said: "There are lies, there are damn lies, and then there are statistics". You can massage the numbers to support any stance you choose.
I agree with what you say here. If we enforce the current laws, or even as far as I'm concerned make them stricter. Background checks will slow down straw sales and crooked dealers if the laws are stricter. For instance, if a private owner or dealer sells a gun illegally, by not abiding to the check..and the buyer uses that gun to kill, make the dealer negligent to a degree of the crime committed. If the buyer commits murder, the dealer should be found guilty of involuntary manslaughter.
I heard the same thing as well. Supposedly purchased at Phantom Fireworks in Seabrook, NH. Not sure what was purchased there, but there are a lot of people talking about it in Seabrook (was there for the past few days).
To be honest, I live in a gated community; however, I keep an SKS in my closet and an LC380 in my desk drawer. If I could cary the .380 at work, I would.
Silencers are the legal term and the original term for the device. It's not the most accurate description, but it is 100% correct to refer to what many people call "suppressors" as "silencers." And rifle silencers are not mostly ear protection, they don't make rifles hearing safe at all without further ear protection. What they do is hide flash, prevent dust being kicked up, prevent concussion, and a few other things, but don't shoot a rifle with a silencer without hearing protection.
The crime rates took a huge spike after the gun ban back in the 1990's. Before the gun ban, crime was decreasing. Recently, yes, the crime has been decreasing. BUT, the crime rate is still higher today than it was 20 years ago. The crime rate in the US has been steadily decreasing for decades despite not having a federal gun ban. Yes, asking people on the street a question and then recording their answer has a huge tendency to be flawed. Those number came from a poll from The Telegraph.
When you wake up and pay attention to all those who have openly stated a desire to ban all guns if possible, you'll see these things are very much worth paying attention to. Any further restriction on what I can own is unacceptable. Period.
Considering that the Liberal "Logic" says that the idea of requiring an ID to exercise your right to vote is unconstitutional, equivalent to a "Poll Tax", and "racist", then it should follow that requiring ID, filing of a 4473 form, background check, and in some jurisdictions the additional fees, permits, paperwork, and permissions from some nameless bureaucrat should clearly be a violation of your rights also. The 2nd is the ONLY place in the Constitution where "Shall not be infringed" appears.
Some older generation people call them clips because back in in the early days one used 'stripper clips' to feed cartridges into fixed magazine weapons. It just carried over into the civilian world. My father, who served in Korea, always called them 'clips' even though they were magazines. Yes they are technically a 'magazine' but using 'clip' for some folks is like calling any tissues 'kleenex'. I call them clips and I have been shooting firearms for 50 years. Keep the videos coming
I refer to the comment made earlier by David H "An "assault rifle" is a select fire weapon that is capable of firing in fully automatic or three round burst" My research shows that in most (if not all, that bit isn't clear) of America fully automatic weapons or weapons cable of burst firing are illegal for members of the general public to own. SO when a politician or the press refer to an 'assault rifle' what they are REALLY talking about is a self loading rifle. So in part you are right.
Taking safety as a personal responsibility isn't anarchy. It's a survival mechanism. If you aren't prepared to defend your own life then you aren't prepared to continue living on this planet.
I was tired when I wrote this and left out the "People with a Class 3 license" Which is hard for your average psycho to obtain, and full-auto weapons are RARELY used in these types of shootings, and ones where the full-auto weapon is legally obtained are even rarer.
Enforcing current laws, prosecuting those who attempt to purchase arms while knowing theynare prohibited, improving data reporting on those with known mental illness and simply being personally proactive (ie: not ignoring the insane sociopath, etc, etc) will all have a far greater impact. There are other measures to pursue as well, though convincing those who are anti-gun that ignoring the problem or simply instituting "feel-good measures" won't work continually hampers any real progress.
"To imply that taking action against an armed assailant is "putting their lives in danger" is utter ignorance. How is doing nothing and putting yourself at the mercy of a deranged psychopath safer than defending your life?" This is implying the assailant is still engaging in action. Then yes, protecting yourself is fine. You're getting into legality that can get you thrown in prison. Whats to say you accidentally kill a pedestrian?
Because the person who says that obviously doesn't know anything about guns but doesn't mind putting their 2 cents in about how they should be controlled. Magazine= A box that contains ammo that is put into the firearm to feed the ammo, can be removed and replaced. Clip= A strip that holds ammo that is use to quickly reload a firearm then removed, it does no stay in the firearm to feed the ammo.
Anti's concentrate on the bad side of "what if's", rather than acknowledge the massive potential for a positive outcome. The statement many anti's use often, is actually very detrimental to their case; ie: "when was the last time an armed civilain stopped a mass-shooting". Thus implying it never happens. The part they miss, is when an armed civilian is present, it never becomes a mass-shooting, as said civilian stops it before the death toll mounts.
I wouldn't hold my breath for the next generation being less violent than the previous. If you look at the instances of of school violence it is only getting worse. But I'm glad that you've finally conceded the point that until someone figures out a way to fundamentally alter human behavior, a firearm is your BEST defense against becoming a victim of a violent crime. That's all I wanted you to say.
So there is absolutely NO responsibility on the part of the guy who breaks into my house to steal my stuff or hurt my family? The ONLY responsibility is on the person who defends their home/family? Life is full of choices/priorities. My family and their safety is mine...clearly yours is to protect others looking to harm yours. More power to you dude...good luck.
GOD I hate that when people call a magazine a clip in case anyone that dose not know the difference look it up before you use it. nice job Mr. Noir, keep smashing those stereo types and wrong information keep up the good work.
"What isit that you find unacceptable about subduing an attacker as opposed to killing him or her?" This isn't like the movies where you can shoot a gun out of someone's hand or get a non lethal shot reliably. When someone tries to take someone else's life, they give up their right to their own.
Please explain how it will make a difference, how it will stop the majority of the sales where guns used in crime are acquired, criminal to criminal gun sales?
Gun shows and internet sales are already subject to background checks. Ever purchased from Gunbroker or at a show? You are required to perform the same actions as you would in a gun shop. Private sales are the only form of sales not subject to a BGC. This is due to it being impossible to enforce. To enforce such measures, a gun registry will be needed, searches performed to confirm all guns are registered, more searches to assure you have not sold without proper transfer, etc, etc.
your're right the words unalienable are not part of the constitution; however, the declaration of independance says "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." In order to protect these unalienable rights, the right to defend them, by any means necessay is the only manner that will effectively and eternally do so.
Just remember this people: A *magazine* is a box with a spring in it that pushes cartridges into the gun. A *clip* is a strip that hold cartridges by the end and is used as a speed-loader for magazines.
I was trained by an instructor who happens to train private security employees, and.... Police officers, including swat teams. Jesus, a CCW permit isn't a Batman license, it's not about being a superhero/commando etc. It's about having the means to potentially save your own life if someone tries to kill you. Nothing else.
"The only person that has any moral reason to die in order to protect my love ones is myself." So, what happens after your attacker kills you as you "morally" die in front of your family? what's next? Who now bears the responsibility to protect your family?
