Stars & Stripes reports that some veterans are “bucking their pro-gun stereotype” and joining with gun control fetishists to limit the ownership of firearms, you know, despite the oath they took to protect and defend the Constitution;

“We know how critical firearm safety and responsibility are, and we know what these weapons can do in the wrong hands,” said Navy veteran Sarah Dachos, who’s been involved in gun control advocacy for the past three years.

Anthony Swofford, a Marine Corps veteran and author of the 2003 memoir Jarhead, also got behind the push for gun reform.

“In the Marine Corps, we have an expression, ‘Every Marine a rifleman,’” he said. “We’re made to understand the impact these weapons have and the responsibility that comes with handling them. I think the civilian world could learn some important lessons from that military experience of training, safety and accountability — that’s part of the reason I felt compelled to lend my voice to this work.”

Now, Swofford, Dachos and other veterans have secured a platform in the national debate on gun reform. Everytown for Gun Safety, the country’s largest gun control advocacy organization, announced Wednesday that it created a veterans advisory council to lend support and advice.

I’m not surprised. VoteVets and Iraq Veterans Against the War were able to recruit veterans willing and able to “Qaddafi” their fellow veterans and stab us in the nalga. The gun fags don’t seem to be having trouble seeking out Blue Falcons who want to disarm us.

Part of the function of the veterans advisory council will be to provide testimony to Congress, weigh in on policy proposals and offer insight on firearms. For example, Everytown sought veterans’ advice in October when the nation’s attention turned to bump stocks after they were used in the deadly shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas, McTighe said.

Yeah, just like ANSWER who found enough veterans to form their “March Forward” anti-war group. IVAW also testified to Congress. Mostly, the veterans of VoteVets, March Forward and IVAW only contributed ammunition to the Bush Derangement Syndrome crowd. The protest marches against the war had T-shirt-wearing veterans in the front row to give the movement the appearance of legitimacy, even though most of those veterans had never been to the war.

Scott Cooper, a retired Marine involved with the group Human Rights First, is part of the [gun control] advisory council. Cooper grew up in Wyoming, where he started hunting at 14, he said.

So what? The last time I checked, hunting has nothing to do with the Second Amendment.

They couldn’t have made it easier. Thank you, @Austin_Police for picking up my weapon for safe destruction. This may not effect anyone but, but it’s symbolic. If all of us were to #DoSomething small, eventually it will add up and change the world. pic.twitter.com/sgnT70aigE

Apparently, pr0n star, Mia Khalifa felt that the only way students in her area would be safe from her would be for her to turn in her shotgun to the police. ISIS will be glad to know she unarmed – they sent Mia death threats according to Wiki;

She received online death threats after she ranked No. 1 on Pornhub, including a manipulated image of a Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant executioner preparing to behead her, and a message warning her that she would go to Hell, to which she replied “I’ve been meaning to get a little tan recently”. Lebanese newspapers wrote articles critical of Khalifa, which she considered trivial due to other events in the region

Bobo sends a link to the Huffington Post which reports that Boulder, Colorado city council has written their own “scary-looking black rifle ban”. It appears that they had 3rd graders write the language that bans bump-stocks, magazines that hold more than 10 rounds, and “semi-automatic firearms designed with military features to allow rapid spray firing”.

Owners of assault weapons, defined by the ordinance as “semi-automatic firearms designed with military features to allow rapid spray firing,” have until December 31 to relinquish or destroy their guns. But a grandfather clause also allows residents who currently possess an assault weapon to apply for a permit proving prior ownership.

The permit will only be granted to gun owners who pass a background check and are not prohibited by law from owning a gun. The owner must also agree to store the firearm in a safe place and report a loss of the weapon to law enforcement within 48 hours.

Members of law enforcement and military personnel are exempt from the new restrictions.

Councilman Sam Weaver told the Daily Camera that the grandfather clause ? which applies to people who legally obtained assault weapons prior to June 15, 2018 ? was included as an “olive branch” to gun owners.

Opponents of the measure, however, were not assuaged.

Gun owners in the city have vowed to challenge the ordinance in the courts. I want to see the lawyers defend that “spray firing” bullshit. They should add that “full-semi-automatic” shit, too.

“It felt like a no-brainer to propose this,” [Councilwoman Jill Adler] Grano said at the time, according to the Daily Camera. “Each time we have a shooting, it is a reminder of the fact that we are failing miserably at protecting our citizens…

Yes, it is certainly a “no brainer” and the council succeeded in using no brains to write their ordinance. When you write laws for a living, every problem seems to require a new law.

Now that I graduated from @KentState, I can finally arm myself on campus. I should have been able to do so as a student- especially since 4 unarmed students were shot and killed by the government on this campus. #CampusCarryNow pic.twitter.com/a91fQH44cq

She got responses like this one from the gun control snowflakes, reinforcing her need for the Second Amendment;

There are more examples of this unwarranted hatred at Liberty Hangout.

Democrats have been telling us that they don’t want to take your guns away. They only want to make it harder for people to buy a gun legally. Well, a corner of that tent flew up last week when Democrat Congressman Eric Swalwell of California admitted that he wants to confiscate your gun like they did in Australia;

Reinstating the federal assault weapons ban that was in effect from 1994 to 2004 would prohibit manufacture and sales, but it would not affect weapons already possessed. This would leave millions of assault weapons in our communities for decades to come.

Instead, we should ban possession of military-style semiautomatic assault weapons, we should buy back such weapons from all who choose to abide by the law, and we should criminally prosecute any who choose to defy it by keeping their weapons. The ban would not apply to law enforcement agencies or shooting clubs.

There’s something new and different about the surviving Parkland high schoolers’ demands. They dismiss the moral equivalence we’ve made for far too long regarding the Second Amendment. I’ve been guilty of it myself, telling constituents and reporters that “we can protect the Second Amendment and protect lives.”

Only a moron would listen to high school students’ demands and take those demands seriously. Someone who is opposed to an amendment in the Bill of Right is just one such moron. I wonder how Swalwell intends to find all of the owners of semiautomatic firearms – suspend the protections against unreasonable searches in the Bill of Rights, too?

Swalwell claims that if the government pays us $1000/rifle it would cost the government about $15 billion to buy the whole bunch back;

The federal government is spending an estimated $4 trillion this year; $15 billion would be 0.375% of that, not that we must spend it all in one year.

Meanwhile, the GOP’s tax “reform” — a giveaway to corporations and the rich that threw comparatively meager scraps to working families — is projected to increase the national debt by $1.9 trillion over the next decade.

What is it worth to American taxpayers to not see our families, friends and neighbors cut down in a hail of gunfire? Consider this an investment in averting carnage and heartache and loss.

So $15 billion is the cost of hyperbole. I wonder if he did the math on the cost of making prosecutors enforce the existing laws.

Apparently, the Broward County Sheriff’s office has found someone they don’t mind talking to down there. Kyle Kashuv was one of the students at Parkland on Valetine’s Day, but he came away from the experience as a supporter of the Second Amendment, unlike those we see most ofter on the media.

He went to the local firing range recently and posted pictures of himself. The next day he was interrogated at school, according to the Sun-Sentinel;

“It was a clear attempt to intimidate me, and they used very, very, very harsh intimidation tactics,” Kashuv said.

After first being questioned by a school security officer, a Broward County deputy entered the room and sat behind the teen, Kashuv said. The deputy began asking Kashuv who the rifle belonged to and who he went shooting with. Kashuv said he asked if he could record the interview and was told he couldn’t. The teen said he felt like the deputy was trying to get him to incriminate his father.

The Broward County School District got involved after hearing safety concerns from some parents and students, district spokeswoman Nadine Drew said.

“District staff and school administrators looked into this matter and following a review, determined the tweet messages to be non-threatening,” Drew said in a statement. “In addition, school administrators did talk with the student.”

If only the BCSO had been diligent in the matter of the actual gunman. But, like I’ve always said, it’s much easier to squeeze the law abiding public than it is to actually do something that might prevent crime. Like the TSA searching for terrorists among blue-haired old ladies.
