Alternate headline: People protected by armed security want to disarm law abiding citizens
Day 3 of Democrat Convention Launches with Assault on Guns
Day three of the Democrat National Convention launched on Wednesday with a full-blown assault on guns in America.
The night began with a video collage of speakers who lost family members to gun crime and also focused on the speakers at the March 24, 2018, March for Our Lives rally in Washington, DC.
Speakers from the rally said, “They say that tougher gun laws do not decrease gun violence; we call B.S.â€
They then said, “They say a good guy with a gun stops a bad guy with a gun; we call B.S.â€
They did not mention that Cook County, Illinois — which constitutes a large portion of the Chicago area — has an “assault weapons†ban. They did not mention that the state of Illinois has licensing requirements for all gun owners and the process for obtaining that license — a Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card — requires a background check. They did not mention that Illinois has a 72-hour waiting period on gun purchases nor did they point out that background checks for all retail gun sales are a federal requirement and have been a requirement since 1998. This means a retail gun sale in any state and/or city requires a background check, yet the violence in Chicago grows.
If a good guy with a legal gun doesn’t stop a bad guy with an illegal gun, what stops the bad guy?
(357 Magnum) They thought breaking into an occupied dwelling was a good idea. UPDATE: Conecuh County Sheriff says homeowner shot at three men breaking into house, killing one.
Conecuh County Sheriff Randy Brock says two brothers and another family member were trying to break into a home Friday afternoon. The trio did not know the homeowner was inside, and the homeowner fired shots at them, striking one of the men.
His 2 accomplices loaded him into a pickup truck and fled. It doesn’t say if they took him to a hospital or not, only that they traveled to different county.
Back to original article
On August 19, 2020, Breitbart News reported that the 2020 Democrat Platform includes a ban on “assault weapons,†“high-capacity†magazines, and an expansion on the number of persons prohibited from gun ownership. They also seek storage requirements for gun owners and plan to open gun makers to lawsuits by doing away with the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (2005).
Some things seem common sense, like restricting people accused of domestic violence from having a firearm, right? Allow lawsuits of gun makers is an attempt to put them out of business, or at least making sure they do not sell their product in the United States. And, let’s not forget, via This ain’t Hell…, what Kamala wants to do
While USA Today is correct that Harris has never explicitly maintained that she would sign an executive order to “send police†to break down your door, she is the first person to be on a major presidential ticket in American history who openly supports gun confiscation. Whether she promised to implement those plans through legislation or via executive order is also, at best, opaque, despite factcheckers’ efforts to claim otherwise.
Democrats have said it more than enough times that the end game is disarm law abiding citizens. You just have to listen.
Republicans should attempt to slide in an amendment to every Democrat gun bill that would require that the security of all elected officials be disarmed. And that private citizens should not be allowed to have armed security. That would not make elected Democrats, media, Hollywood, entertainment, and sports people happy, right?
Our esteemed host wrote:
Wrong! We can legitimately restrict the Second Amendment rights of people convicted of domestic violence, but simply being accused of it is wrong, wrong, wrong!
TEACH ejaculates: Democrats have said it more than enough times that the end game is disarm law abiding citizens.
Not gonna happen. No doubt there exist Americans who think gun restrictions as practiced in other countries will work in America. That’s untrue. Won’t work. The Democratic party does not support gun-grabbing or confiscation or whatever the far-right uses to scare people.
But shouldn’t even right-wingers want to keep guns out of the hands of bad guys? Guys like Dylann Roof, Las Vegas mass murderer, Pittsburgh synagogue murderer, El Paso murderer, Cannon Hinnant’s murderer etc? Shouldn’t that be the objective?
In terms of raw numbers, gun deaths in the US, while higher than other advanced nations, are not a major problem. We have about 20,000 gun associated suicides, about 10,000 gun related homicides and fewer than 1000 deaths from gun accidents. That many Americans die each year from influenza related pneumonia. Some 200,000 will die this year from Covic-19.
Over a million (1,000,000) Americans die each year from heart disease and cancer combined.
But why do right-wingers support bad guys having guns?
gun restrictions as practiced in other countries
Always invoke other countries, especially the ones where people were led by the millions to their deaths.
The Democratic party does not support gun-grabbing or confiscation or whatever the far-right uses to scare people.
Sure. Tell it to the McCloskeys.
But shouldn’t even right-wingers want to keep guns out of the hands of bad guys? Guys like Dylann Roof, Las Vegas mass murderer, Pittsburgh synagogue murderer, El Paso murderer, Cannon Hinnant’s murderer etc? Shouldn’t that be the objective?
Funny how the places where firearms are outlawed are the ones with all the murders. Y’know all those Lefty paradises like Chiraq, Baltimore.

More like 500, if that much. And take away all the inner city, black on black shootings and we’re way down on the list.

Bad guys get their guns illegally, most of them. What heart disease and cancer is hard to fathom, unless he means how many Inslee Itch fatalities were attributed to them.
Thank you for that response to that guy.. You saved me a LOT of typing!
We live to swerve.

False.
In the past, even you have advocated for removing all weapons from the hands of people.
Perhaps your hatred has made you forget what you have said.
After all, all the left has is hate.
I’ve heard many Democommies say they want a gun ban and/or they will take our guns. Including a statement by Senile Joe. Look it up. I’ve even read comments by you advocating gun bans or “buy-backs” (typical lying Democommie word).
You have often bragged about how wealthy you are so I assume you live in a gated community in St. Louis similar to the McClosky’s. They too are gun owning, leftist voting morons like you. Must be the water out there.
If civilians are to be disarmed by force the shootin’ war is just around the corner. It also follows that since civilians won’t own guns and it’s illegal for criminals to own them then there is no need for police or other authorities including celebrity, rich guy and political security to have them. n’est pas?
Trump 2020 The liars are going to try and take our guns. Let’s kill them first!
blame-storming: when leftists create a fake news item or fake problem which is difficult to prove wrong (see Mail Boxes)to blame Trump. Used often and effectively since the media provides cover.
What you and other Covidians may have misread from me, is that gun-bans are ineffective unless they’re universal. I don’t favor universal gun bans, although I do favor limits. I’ve also said that it will never happen in the US.
Our Supreme Court has ruled against local gun bans repeatedly. Gun possession is enshrined in our Constitution, which you may know about.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed
One could argue that the 2nd Amendment is not clearly written, but the Supreme Court has ruled that individual Americans can keep and bear Arms. Period.
America (and cost) makes it very difficult to obtain and keep fully automatic weapons (machine guns), grenade launchers, rocket launchers etc. Shotguns with barrels < 18 in are restricted, but we suspect there are many, many modified versions in US homes for self-defense. As far as we know there are no home inspections for restricted weapons. And there never will be. Americans (right and left) would not tolerate it.
The entire issue is just another political ploy to scare conservative white voters.
Here comes the weasel. We need to give the Fuhrer these broad powers until order can be restored.
Isn’t that the way the song goes? And the limits he favors are the ones where only the cops are armed. We’ve seen how well that’s worked, haven’t we?

Any SCUS decision can be overridden at any given time, so only a fool hangs his hat on that one.
OTOH I’ll put my faith in these.
Amendment IX
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.

Sure.
Lefties are tolerating these stupid masks and social distancing. Lefties are good little sheep. Tell them it’s no longer fashionable to be gay positive or Islamophilic and they’ll jump on it in a heartbeat.
But notice he does bring up home inspections for restricted weapons. Coming soon to a Lefty paradise near you.
The entire issue is just another political ploy to scare conservative white voters.
Funny how they always come true.
What you and other Covidians may have misread from me, is that gun-bans are ineffective unless they’re universal. I don’t favor universal gun bans, although I do favor limits.
You have said repeatedly that you do favor bans on guns.
It is not my fault that you don’t remember what you have said in the past and are now trying to escape the meanings of your own pronouncements.
And once again, here you are replying to me when you said you wouldn’t.
We all get it. Your hatred is so embedded that you feel justified to troll, to lie and to not keep your word.
After all, all the left has is hate.
After all, all a tRumphatist has is hate. And lies. Lies fuel tRumphate.
Even formerly reasonable Covidians are now all-in with tRumphate as they sense his brief reign of white supremacy is on the ropes.
Is tRump a white supremacist? Don’t know. But he uses white supremacy to recruit and energize those of you who are.
The election of Mr. Obama was viewed as a shot across the bow (or a wake-up call) for white supremacists and those teetering on the edge. It was possible that Black American could lead the nation!
tRump was a chance to re-set course, but his catering to his white supremacist base has led America to utter disaster. Out of sloth and ignorance, he mismanaged a national pandemic resulting in high unemployment, breaking even President Reagan’s previous high (since the Great Depression). Tens of millions of Americans now depending on gov’t assistance to survive (for now). Lines at food banks. Record debt. Divided nation. Worst.President.Ever.
His one saving grace is that he united all Americans, save his white, racist, misogynistic, America-firster, homophobic, male, non-college base.
Kye the Barbarian types: Let’s kill them (democrats) first!
Note: Kye has collected several hundred thousand dollars from the gov’t as reparations for economic damage he may have suffered from the Trump Plague, which is a scam according to most tRumpists.
After all, all a tRumphatist has is hate. And lies. Lies fuel tRumphate.
Accuse them of what we do.
Even formerly reasonable Covidians are now all-in with tRumphate as they sense his brief reign of white supremacy is on the ropes.
I note the village idiots of the blogosphere are pushing this one, but, aside from wishful thinking, one can only wonder how they come by this.
Can’t be the enthusiasm for the Democrats. Ratings are half what they were 4 years ago.
Can’t be the polls. Gropin’ Joe is only getting a 2 point bounce (if that) and his lead (national) is only 2 points and he’s a good 2 1/2 points below the Hildabeast last time out.

No, Zippy is so angry at the world he’s only half-white (as well as half wit). And Trump’s election was a shot across the bow to all the crypto-Commies that America didn’t like them.

He was told there would be 2 million dead. There aren’t.
He was faces with a lousy economy. Twice. He brought it back both times.
And it was Ol’ Bucketmouth, much like Zippy, who created the mess. Trump is already restoring jobs (new housing starts up 22.6%).
Debt and division the Demos doing.
Most effective President ever and most consequential since Andrew Jackson.
His one saving grace is that he united all Americans, save his white, racist, misogynistic, America-firster, homophobic, male, non-college base.
Jeffery lets his racism out of the bag yet again. And he’s building a coalition of minorities and white people, all working stiffs while everybody is fleeing the Democrats and their Commie train wreck (1/3 of blacks say they’re unlikely to vote Demo).
Kye the Barbarian types: Let’s kill them (democrats) first!
I can dig it.
Kye said liars. Are you admitting all Democrats are liars?
Kye has collected several hundred thousand dollars from the gov’t as reparations for economic damage he may have suffered from the Trump Plague, which is a scam according to most tRumpists.
You mean the Oriental Lung Rash? What Kye got was reimbursement for unconstitutional and illegal shutdowns of society.
The pox is phony. the economic damage wrought by the Democrats is real.
Sibley is an idiot. So is Edward.
So you don’t have a rebuttal.
Thought so.
J’s posts broken down to their minimum… “White supremacist…hate…white supremacist….and did I say hate?….white…..
All, as usual, without any proof..
For all the troll talk about how Trump is going to lose, turns out the DNC convention has produced a Trump bounce, up 4 points.
Can’t wait for Gropin;’ Joe’s big speech.
PS Jeffery starts his drivel with TEACH ejaculates:
You seem obsessed with this stuff. You get a bang out of guys spurts?
Jealous?
Lost to the media is that during the three days that the DNC was held trump campaign literally bought up all the advertising on social media with 7 digit investment and blanketed social media with must watch advertising to counter the lunacy of the left.
Meanwhile Biden and the DNC are doing nothing. At all. Period. They are waiting for Novemeber and then declare the rebellion is on and it is communism or bust. Who do you think is buying all those new guns and Ammo?
I would start stocking up on bullets friends. The day after the election is not going to be pretty in America.
Who do you think is buying all those new guns and Ammo?
My guess would be all those people who realize the cops will not save them. And, yeah, many are newly minted Conservatives.
Since the subject has been raised, Trump trolls Gropin’ Joe with banner satingBiden is losing it Vote Trump.
Now that will go down in history.
World class.
