You may not believe me when I say all anti-gun bigots are either ignorant or lying. They are, but you may not believe me.
I think I ran into one of the former.
He had posted a request for Biden to ban "assault weapons" and someone reasonably asked him what an "assault weapon" was. He didn't respond, so I posted the pic above to be helpful.
That got his attention and he decided to educate me on why I was wrong about what an "assault weapon" is:
There were a couple other responses to him after mine, confirming what I said and pointing out that he knew nothing about firearms. As is almost universally the case with anti-gun bigots.
Such as that congressvermin who was carefully explaining to his colleagues how a pistol brace turns a semi-auto full auto because it is a bump stock. And these liars/ignorami believe they are wise enough to govern us!
Around this same time, I encountered another of this sort calling a black gun owner a "white supremacist" "MAGA" person for supporting this natural right. Yes, she was being ridiculed by lots of people for her absurd claim, but she wasn't backing down.
Another guy responded to my graphic explaining the Second Amendment and the right to own and to carry weapons with the comment:
Not sure that quite made the point he was going for.
They are trying really hard to fool people. Too many people fall for it. Not you, though.
I used to babysit for my 8th grade Social Studies teacher when I was 13, and I remember arguing with her over the constitutionality of the proposed 1968 gun control act. For a "Social Studies" teacher she was woefully ignorant of the Constitution and the 2nd Amendment in particular, but she eventually conceded that I was right. She still hated guns, though, and probably would have been horrified to know that my father had an indoor pistol range in our basement, just three doors away. lol
ReplyDeleteAh, these experts. I stepped into a discussion with a Constitutionlist/borderist last night, too. When I asked him to point out exactly where the Constitution permits the feds to control immigration he told me to read the Constitution and said I was too stupid to argue with, then he flounced. It's the same thing every time.
DeleteI want a basement with an indoor pistol range... although that would require a larger ammo budget, not counting the cost of building the range.
Dad designed a bullet trap, made of heavy steel plates, which funneled the bullets into a nautilus-like spiral. Both ends of the spiral could be unbolted so Dad could scoop out the lead bullets later and melt them down to be recast. My maternal grandfather was an executive at Bethlehem Steel and got it made to Dad's specifications.
DeleteWhen Dad finished the basement, he positioned the door to his workshop where he could stand behind a shooting bench at the back of the basement and fire through the open door at the targets mounted on the bullet trap at the front of the basement. He thoroughly soundproofed the basement, too, so you could barely hear anything outside the house, and inside it was no worse than someone hammering. He installed a heavy duty exhaust fan right behind his shooting position, so the house never smelled of gunpowder.
We used to have family reloading nights in the 60s, with each of us at a station. Dad melted the lead and cast the bullets; Mom pressed the primer into the cartridge; my big brother operated the gun power injector; my job was on the bullet press, inserting the bullet into the cartridge; and my little brother's job was to wipe the finished cartridge and refill the ammo boxes.
Dad was a pistol champion, so we went to a lot of pistol matches when we were kids, and when the match was done for the day, my brothers and I would police the brass under the benches for reloading. ;)
That sounds awesome. Shouldn't there be a saying, "The family that reloads together, abodes together"? I think there should.
Delete(Unfortunately, the first rhyme that came to mind was "explodes together" and I didn't like that one-- and thank goodness you didn't.)
