Ban Assault Guns

The Whitehouse.gov petition to ban the AR-15 began on June 12, the same day Ahmed Goatfucker shot up the Pulse nightclub. Gun-grabbers never waste a good crisis. Never mind the fact that Mr. Goatfucker didn't use an AR-15.

Any program that ends with the government confiscating something is a bad idea.

But the President is totally down with the idea. Joe Biden responded to the petition by writing, "The President and I agree with you. Assault weapons and high-capacity magazines should be banned from civilian ownership."

Define "assault weapon." Anything that can be used to assault someone is an assault weapon.

Oh, but they just don't want "weapons of war" to be in civilian hands. Never mind that sidearms are "weapons of war." Hell, there is even the story of the Army Ranger who has a confirmed kill using an MRE spoon. Are we going to ban the spork?

Define "high-capacity magazine." California defines it as eleven rounds or more, and those are now banned. California also requires people to undergo a background check before you buy ammunition. The state now has a system to track ammunition purchasers.

These laws were pushed through the one-party state government, according to the Los Angeles Times, in response to the December San Bernardino shooting.

Actually, the attack was a just a convenient pretext to push laws they already wanted. California lawmakers were thoughtful enough to exempt themselves from the same regulations they force on citizens.

The Whitehouse.gov petition includes a quote from the family of the AR-15's inventor. They say, "We think he would have been horrified and sickened as anyone, if not more, by these events." This is supposed to be evidence showing the firearm's inventor never intended his firearm to be owned by civilians. It's possible to both be "horrified by these events," and still believe that civilians are constitutionally entitled to own these firearms.

Because the Second Amendment was explicitly written to ensure the people would be able to protect themselves from the government.

The same government that imports goatfuckers by the planeload. The same government that doesn't believe you are capable of handling Ahmed Goatfucker's 911 call, in which he pledges allegiance to Salafist terror groups. The same government that considers right-wing extremism a serious problem, but thinks that releasing a 911 transcript is giving our actual enemy a propaganda victory. Sending robots to kill people from a list is ok, but a transcript will get people killed.
