First — my Glock isn’t an “assault weapon.” I don’t have a 120 round mag. The vast majority who own AR-15s are law-abiding people who did not get their rifles illegally. Rifles are not the favored weapon of choice for violent offenders ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u…
This is as I’ve ALWAYS said — the goal isn’t just to ban the legal fiction term “assault weapons,” they want to ban ALL semi-auto.
Joe Biden on guns is the textbook example of misinformation.
When Biden talks about FFLs and illegal sales, is he talking about when his Obama/Biden admin made some FFLs sell guns to cartels for Fast and Furious?
Biden isn’t serious about crime committed with firearms illegally carried by violent prohibited possessors. If he was, he’d have DOJ stop Democrat prosecutors and judges in high-crime localities from routinely dropping charges or reducing penalties for repeat violent offenders.
I absolutely will not comply with an “assault weapons” ban. Period. I will not take legal commands from politicians who know less about my property than I do and politicians who do more to protect violent offenders than they do the law-abiding.

It’s also a total lack of listening comprehension. Let’s look at the actual sentence said!
“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 9-millimeter pistol or whether it’s a rifle, is ridiculous. I’m continuing to push to eliminate the sale of those things.”
Biden isn’t talking about magazines.
Democrats refuse to enforce full penalties for repeat offenders (ex twitchy.com/sarahd-313035/… ) and instead blame the resulting increased homicide rate on law-abiding gun owners.
New York has some of, if not the, strictest anti-2A laws in the nation: Defining anything accepting a detachable mag as an “assault weapon," registration, universal background checks, ammo restrictions, mag capacity restrictions, storage requirements, doctor reports, more.
Why don’t these laws work? Because the problem isn’t the law-abiding. The problem is the repeat offenders and ridiculous judges like this one nypost.com/2021/06/09/how…
Yep. @Twitter took over 200k in just the last several months and delete on average 1k a day. I noticed a 30k drop overnight once and began taking a screenshot a day to track it. It lost its value as a platform with no real, organic, measurable reach.
Run your platform in whatever scared way you want, just don’t pretend that you’re fostering anything but an echo chamber of confirmation bias and mob rule. It stopped being a place reflective of real conversation a long time ago.
Meanwhile, most of the tweets capslocking “gun whore” or “hope you die” stay up while people are suspending for innocuously mocking mockable journos. This platform is the social media version of “Caillou.”
I wonder why @twitter@jack don’t just delete all my followers at once instead of this drip drop 1k follower deduction every day and a half. Hundreds of thousands deleted since 12/14/20. I’ve even had to refollow my own husband repeatedly. I’m sure it’s just a glitch.
I’ll stay until they shut me down entirely (yes, I am at other places so unnecessary for folks to suggest) but let’s stop pretending that @twitter in any way represents real organic discussion or reach. It used to be cool, now it’s just basically an ant farm.
@Twitter For fun I did an experiment since 12/20 and screenshot followers near daily. Lists never changed, followers did, and I kept having to repeatedly follow actual IRL friends who had to do the same. Again, I’m sure it’s just a glitch.
With all the talk of waging war on the GOP conference, I’m curious what some Republicans have to say about backing potential replacements that have pretty moderate records, especially on immigration, border security, climate, etc.
If the issue is that Cheney is antagonistic towards Trump, wouldn’t a replacement on record voting repeatedly to oppose his policies be as well? What’s the measure here? What am I missing?
BTW, voting against border wall funding, for amnesty, for the Climate Action Now (following Paris Accord) bill, etc is beyond simply “moderate."
