You can’t have a national discussion about guns if the language of the discussion is not something that everyone understands. According to the National Review<\/a> yesterday, the President told contributors that Adam Lanza used “fully automatic weapon” when he killed 26 people. Of course, unless the President knows something the rest of the planet doesn’t know, Adam Lanza used a semi-automatic rifle during his nefarious plan. The difference is, of course, that fully automatic weapons have been heavily regulated in this country since the days of Al Capone. Fully automatic weapons are not available to most Americans without proper licensing.<\/p>\n

In Chicago, Robin Kelly is running for the Congressional seat recently vacated by Jesse Jackson, Jr. While she was arguing against concealed weapon carry in her district, according to Breitbart<\/a>, talking about the Aurora, Colorado theater shooting;<\/p>\n

She told the audience, “in the movie [theater], they have conceal and carry, but nobody pulled out their guns to kill the gentleman that did all the damage that he did.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the movie theater, no one was carrying a concealed weapon because the owners of the theater decided that they wanted to establish it as a “gun-free zone” and everyone who was a law abiding citizen complied with their demands and they were all without arms. That’s why no one drew their gun that evening.<\/p>\n

Dianne DeGette, a self-proclaimed expert on banning magazines, doesn’t even know how magazines function when she announced that her plan to reduce the number of magazines in this country is to let us fire them all up until they’re all empty – apparently we’re supposed to forget how to reload them and throw the magazines away.<\/p>\n

And there was the VoteVets video<\/a> in which they proclaim that no one has to do a background check to purchase an AR15 rifle. I suspect that no one at VoteVets has even bought a firearm, or they’d feel a little bit sheepish about their outright lie.<\/p>\n

Charles Hurt, in the Washington Times<\/a>. highlights some of the other misinformation flying around about guns. When you ask Americans if they think we should have universal background checks, a huge majority says that we should. But if you ask them if the government should keep records of those checks, the number falls dramatically.<\/p>\n

Hurt points out that nothing that has been passed int he States in recent weeks would have prevented Adam Lanza from carrying out his diabolical plot. He had been denied the opportunity to purchase the weapon he desired by existing laws, so he stole his mother’s weapons.<\/p>\n

The sweetheart of gun rights, Emily Miller<\/a> writes that our Second Amendment rights are being eroded by the States.<\/p>\n

Our Founding Fathers were clear that people inherently have the right to use firearms for self defense and to protect themselves from government tyranny. The laws and treaty passed this week are clearly unconstitutional, but it will take a long time for the courts to catch up to the rapid abridgement of these rights. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The worst part is that these rights have been stripped from us on the basis of misinformation told to us by utter morons who cant speak the language or lie to with their bald faces. History will not look kindly at this generation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
