Commit a Misdemeanor banned from owning a gun?

"Democratic U.S. Sen. Bob Casey announced he will introduce legislation to keep guns out of the hands of those who commit criminal acts based on hate. The Hate Crimes Prevention Act would prohibit the purchase, possession or shipment of a firearm by anyone convicted of a misdemeanor hate crime or who received a hate crime sentence enhancement, according to a statement from Casey’s office on Monday. It would also prohibit the sale of firearms to anyone reasonably suspected to be guilty of a misdemeanor hate crime."

Remember how when the "Lautenberg Amendment" went into affect? When you could be convicted of a Misdemeanor Domestic Violence charge for and lose your Rights to own a firearm?

Do you know how many Law Enforcement officers, deputies and agents got caught in that? And what about the people who got wrongly convicted? And there have been MANY of them. So many that there has been a petition to get Congress to act.

Well NOW, Democratic U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, wants to make it if you so much as speak your mind about how they ways things are going, you can be banned from owning a firearm. THEY get to decide what is and isn't a "Hate Crime". Remember those college students getting "Traumatized" by someone writing "Trump 2016" in chalk on a sidewalk? Yeah if you had doe that, they want you "Convicted" of a "Hate Crime" and ban you from exercising your "Constitutional Rights"

The Cost of Australia's Gun Ban

Here is the evidence of what happens AFTER a gun ban goes into effect.

Here is the Empirical Evidence.  And the Gun banners here don't care.

To them it is NOT about crime.

It is about Control.

And NEVER forget that.

Colorado trying to Ban Remington 870 Shotgun

"DENVER (CBS4) – A popular hunting shotgun could be banned under one of the bills moving through the state Capitol.

A pump or semi-automatic shotgun is the gun most hunters in Colorado use. It’s a gun state Sen. Greg Brophy, R-Wray, says could be banned under a bill that’s already passed the House and Gov. John Hickenlooper says he’ll sign."

Because you can put an extended mag tube on the 870, the way their law is currently written, it would ban all Remington 870's and similar types by other manufacturers. So Coloradans contact your legislators tell them how you feel about this.

"Gun ban would protect more than 2,200 firearms

WASHINGTON — Congress' latest crack at a new assault weapons ban would protect more than 2,200 specific firearms, including a semi-automatic rifle that is nearly identical to one of the guns used in the bloodiest shootout in FBI history."

That is what Jay is talking about, but his kicker is this:

"This is what they consider "common sense gun control", where a seventy year old rifle passed down to me by my grandfather is considered as dangerous as an M-60.."

So the Mauser M712 Schnellenfuer will now be banned

under Diane Feinstein's new bill bill?  So pistols that originally started to be manufactured in 1927 A.D. based on a design from a pistol that started being manufactured in 1896 A.D. will be banned under that abomination?

The most popular handguns in the US will be banned under the new AWB. (UPDATED)

The M712 fits those criteria, so thence the C96 would also be banned?  A 117 year old design banned because of the willful stupidity and ignorance of politicians with the assistance of their media henchman.

The media Anti-Gun narrative in re: Flash Suppressors

The New York shooting was a terrible occurrence, and as far as I am concerned was a copy cat attack egged on by the relentless media coverage and hype of the Oregon and Sandy Hook Shootings.

In every story about the incident I have read so far the rifle is described as "Bushmaster rifle, which had a combat-style flash suppressor".  A flash suppressor, is being attributed as some evil nasty thing only on assault weapons.

Uh WRONG!

Here is one story plus the link to the original:

"WEBSTER, N.Y. (AP) — A 24-year-old woman was arrested Friday and charged in connection with the Christmas Eve ambush slaying of two volunteer firefighters responding to a house fire in upstate New York.

Dawn Nguyen of Rochester faces a state charge of filing a falsified business record, State Police Senior Investigator James Sewell said. Nguyen also faces a federal charge; a news conference with the U.S. attorney in western New York was scheduled for 4 p.m. Friday.

Sewell said the state charge is connected to the purchase of an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle and a 12-gauge shotgun that William Spengler had with him Monday when firefighters Michael Chiapperini and Tomasz Kaczowka were gunned down. Three other people were wounded before the 62-year-old Spengler killed himself. He also had a .38-caliber revolver, but Nguyen is not connected to that gun, Sewell said.

The .223-caliber Bushmaster rifle, which had a combat-style flash suppressor, is similar to the one used by the gunman who massacred 20 children and six women in a Newtown, Conn., elementary school earlier this month.

Nguyen and her mother, Dawn Welsher, lived next door to Spengler in 2008. On Wednesday and again on Friday, shortly before her arrest, she answered her cellphone and told The Associated Press that she didn't want to talk about Spengler. Her brother, Steven Nguyen, told the Democrat and Chronicle newspaper of Rochester that Spengler stole the guns from Dawn Nguyen."

Look around yourself.  I've read 11 stories so far by AP, Reuters and others.  ALL of them include a description of either a "Combat" or "Military" flash suppressor or flash hider.

This is an attempt by the media to demonize a firearm accessory and to tar any firearm which might use a flash hider or a muzzle compensator.  Uneducated people don't know the difference between a flash suppressor or a compensator so by the media's constant use of the term Military or Combat flash suppressor, they skew the public's view of any firearm.

A flash suppressor, flash hider, muzzle compensator is nothing but a tool attached to another tool.  The firearm.

That is what the media is trying to demonize.  A piece of metal that weighs at most 2 or 3 ounces for most of them, that has cuts either milled or EDM'd into it that redirects the hot gasses of a fired cartridge to either reduce the amount of flame coming from the muzzle or to reduce the amount of recoil in the firearm.

So when you see news stories about that little chunk of evil metal, please leave a comment for the story if you can.

And if you meet someone who has limited knowledge of firearms, please educate them.  

A flash suppressor or a muzzle compensator is just a tool to help make shooting more comfortable and fun.

And as far as dangerous weapons, my car can be a weapon, the axe in the bed of my truck, the tire iron next to it, my pocket knife, my keys.  There are thousands of thing that can be used to injure someone.  By themselves they aren't dangerous.  All of those thing require two things to injure someone else.

Intent and the Will.

A person must have both the Intent and the Will to use those items to injure another person.  Firearms also require Intent and Will.  

To hear the media and others, a firearm carried on my hip is a "Deadly" weapon.  No it isn't.  "I" am a deadly weapon though.  With or without a firearm.

Objects can be "dangerous" if not used properly.  That is true of all things.  Even water is dangerous if you drink to much too fast.  Plus water can be used as a weapon.  Don't believe me?  What is waterboarding then but water being used as a weapon.  How about the police in Georgia and Alabama using water cannons on civil rights protestors?  ANYTHING can be used as a weapon.  It just takes the intent and the will to do so.

And that is what the media is hoping you won't realize.  So they can demonize a piece of metal in order to demonize what that piece of metal is attached to so they can stir up hysteria to further their agenda.

So watch out for it.  And remember.  There really are no dangerous weapons.  Only dangerous people.

I know it sounds cliche, but it IS true.
