The idea you need a weapon that can have the ability to fire 20, 30, 40, 50, 120 shots from that weapon — whether it’s a — whether it’s a 9-millimeter pistol or whether it’s a rifle — is ridiculous. I’m continuing to push to eliminate the sale of those things
I read this a little bit differently than most commenters on the internet.
If Joe's brain was in gear and the words coming out of his mouth were congruent to what was in his "handler's" brain, then translated into gun-owner's speak it would read:
I am going to ban all weapons starting with those that accept detachable magazines.
Once a firearm is designed to accept a magazine that can be detached, then the number of rounds it holds as-shipped by the factory becomes meaningless.
Your Savage Mark II with the five-round magazine will become illegal.
Your Remington 700 in .17 centerfire with the box magazine? Illegal.
Even the Remington 870 that accepts magazines extensions: potentially illegal.
So stop fixating on 9mm handguns. The gun-grabber agenda intends to make a much, much larger first bite.
Concur!
ReplyDeleteI took it the same way you did ERJ. He meant anything from "little to big" so to speak. The 9mm part just gun writer hysteria to keep the base stirred up. It's a lot larger than that.
ReplyDeleteJoe Blowhard doesn't have a bugs idea about weapons.
ReplyDeleteWords for the faithful, or an actual plan?
ReplyDeleteIf it's an actual plan, what bill is he going to hide this in?
Probably an Executive Order. Because the need to act now is so urgent. That would be my guess, throws shade for all of Congress who don't want to be responsible for voting for it.
DeleteI can’t understand why there haven’t been more mass shootings yet... maybe they’re not done writing “The Freedom For American Act” just yet...

Yes, because the bullets from high capacity magazines kill more people then other guns.
ReplyDeleteExcept when it comes to firearms for protecting Congress - then moar machine guns and soldiers who use them are needed now. Right now.
