TFL members!!-The Brady's now want our hunting rifles!!

The founding fathers seemed to think so.
+1 Many times I have heard the saying about various tyrants, "The Nobel Peace prize should go to whoever puts a bullet in his head." I think that particular saying started when people were describing Robert Mugabe, then man who has single handedly destroyed Zimbabwe.

If a politician is doing their job properly then they should have very little to fear. Every job has it's risks.
 
Does the Second Amendment protect cop-killer Sniper Rifles? The NRA certainly thinks so, along with the powerful gun lobby that wants your children and your law enforcement officers to be at risk from these weapons of mass destruction.

I have to laugh at this. Apparently "sniper rifles" are right up there with tactical nuclear weapons in their capacity to cause death and destruction. Nuclear cop-killing rifles... Wow. How accurate :rolleyes:
 
We need to seriously unite against these people just like we did against Zumbo's remarks.
We're fighting a proposed AWB in Md. as we speak. Don't buy into the "we've been hearing this for 30 years" an get complacent. Sooner or later the Brady's will get what they want. It will happen if we give up the fight.
 
Should our elected officials live under the threat of reprisal on their lives from disgruntled constituents?
ABSOLUTELY!!!
As Thomas Jefferson once said...."The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants".
The Brady bunch and their ilk are clearly the tyrants in modern America.:mad:
 
A year or two ago Sen. Kennedy (D-MA) wanted to ban the 30-30 for the same reason. He had the whole dog & pony show and his description of what should be banned covered pretty much all hunting rounds - unless 100% lead IIRC.

I think it was an amendment to the Defense of Firearm manuf. bill if anyone wants to go back an look.
 
Several years ago Fienstien (don't know if I spelled her name right) said if it was up to her she would ban all guns! Isn't she one of the authors?
 
Everyone thinks this will damage the Brady Bunch, yet the hoplophobes were saying the same thing prior to their major successes of the Brady Bill and the AWB.

What this will do is to get the Fudds motivated, but only in terms of protecting their own toys. They will push to protect hunting rifles, and will accept the sacrifice of "assault weapons" as the political bone to be thrown to save their own interests.
 
Brady

Is Brady still an elected official? If so when is he going to get unelected. If he's not an elected official, he wouldn't represent any one but himself. Maybe there's a way to nip him in the bud afterall. Brady is from Centraila, Illinois, about 15 minute drive from where I grew up. We hunt the coyote there with those so called "sniper" rifles. For him to suggest he can't understand why anyone would use them to hunt with is a flat out lie. He knows better.
 
News flash

Is Brady still an elected official? If so when is he going to get unelected[?]. If he's not an elected official, he wouldn't represent any one but himself. Maybe there's a way to nip him in the bud afterall. Brady is from Centraila [sic], Illinois, about 15 minute drive from where I grew up. We hunt the coyote there with those so called "sniper" rifles. For him to suggest he can't understand why anyone would use them to hunt with is a flat out lie. He knows better.

"Brady" was never an elected official; he was President Reagan's press secretary and was wounded in the head during Hinckley's attempted assassination of Reagan. Read a paper now and again.

He suggests nothing; he is the prop of his wife and the organization she created. Think of him as a ventriloquist's dummy and you'll grasp the concept.

As was noted above, the Fudds were perfectly complacent when it was "assault weapons," "Saturday Night Specials," handguns or anything other than their own guns that were threatened. Many will remain complacent now; ignorant of anything going on around them until hunting season comes and they can't buy their box of "bullets" to hunt with.

The "Brady Bunch" and its ilk were ALWAYS after ALL of our guns. Period. Their disingenous evasions and selective targeting of particular guns simply suckered the stupid; the rest of us saw the agenda. For the terminally obtuse, Sen. Feinstein's declaration to have us to "Turn them ALL in!" should have been sufficient.

Now that cowboy guns are targeted and the 113-year old .30-'30 has been declared a new "armor-piercing" menace, perhaps SOME of the Fudds will "get it."
 
Anyone have a log-in ID for MySpace? I don't and I don't intend to start. If someone who has access would post this as a reply I'd appreciate it.


Anyone who thinks a .30-30 or 30-06 is "overkill" never met a bear at personal distances in the woods. Anyone who thinks hunting is limited to shots under 100 meters has no knowledge of hunting, especially deer, Elk or Rams. Anyone who thinks the .50 BMG rifles can "derail a freight car" or "shoot down aircraft" have been smoking something illegal. Hitting a moving target is difficult at best. Hitting a critical spot on an aircraft to bring it down with a single shot is laughably difficult (hit rates with full-auto .50 BMG's and tracer ammo during WW-II were in the neighborhood of 1 hit for every 100 rounds expended and one "kill" for every 400 rounds).

Most rifle ammunition can penetrate police officer's vests because the vests are a compromise. The vests protect against most handgun rounds as that is what an officer is likely to encounter. Protecting against rifle ammunition is much more difficult and requires much more rigid (and therefore uncomfortable) body armor. By saying anything that penetrates police vests should be banned means banning most "sporting" rifle calibers, including the .222, .243, .270, .30-30, .338 and many other calibers. Cartridges designed to put down large game -- Elk, Bison and Bear -- would be banned.

What is pathetic is the inconsistency in the posting. On one hand, they claim "sniper rifles" were used in the Beltway shootings (it was a .223 caliber AR-15 style rifle similar to those carried in Vietnam and two Gulf wars), while later saying that a "sniper rifle" is "too big and heavy to take to the field". Apparently they think the soldiers in Iraq are supermen who can carry a heavy 28 pound rifle all day.

Further, they claim sniper rifles "often just wound the animal" while later claiming "Sniper Rifles shoot a high powered bullet that is almost always fatal" and "delivering powerful overkill". For a gun that can derail a train or shoot down aircraft, it can only wound animals in the field? Come on!

Let's hope the author of this drivel gets some psychiatric care, soon.
 
You should check out the rest of their blog entries. The most recent one calls for a ban on the .22LR. I **** you not.

Once again today, we are all struggling with reports about terrible losses of lives to gun violence. What a disturbed teenager in Utah and a tormented businessman in Pennsylvania have in common is that they had access to guns. Horrific mass killings cannot be committed with knives or baseball bats or bare fists. Weak gun laws have led to a glut of weapons on the streets. And as a result, bitter human frustrations lead to gun violence. Anger leads to killings. When will our Nation wake up and confront the tragic reality that we make it far too easy for dangerous people to have access to guns?

In Utah, two 28-year-old women, a 15-year-old girl, a 52-year-old man and 24-year-old man were killed by a shotgun-toting gunman.

Shotguns fire an extremely lethal large caliber round that delivers either a cloud of bullets (shot) or a single large slug. Sawed off and assault shotguns are popular with gangs and terrorists engaged in urban warfare- they have enormous knockdown power, and they don't even need to be aimed as the hail of shot will takes precision out of the equation. All it takes is ten minutes with a hacksaw and a shotgun can be turned into highly compact, concealable mayhem.

Shotguns used in World War One were so lethal, that governments such as Germany lobbied to ban them from organized warfare, because they were inhumane and extraordinarily dangerous.

The gun industry continues to try to market weapons such as the Jackhammer automatic shotgun, Streetsweepers, and other deadly weaponry that was deemed so dangerous, it isn't even labeled a firearm. They are destructive devices and regulated by the National Firearms Act. Does a "Destructive Device" sound like something you go duck hunting with? Unfortunately, with a few cosmetic tweaks, the same lethal weapons are manufactured for "sporting purposes."

Shotguns aren't the only deadly killer that the gun lobby has tried to wrap up in the American flag, history, and apple pie. What caliber kills more people every year in the U.S. than any other?

The .22.

22s are commonly found in three flavors. 22 short, 22 long and 22 Long Rifle. All of them are lethal. Most Saturday Night Specials come in .22 caliber. These handguns are not useful for sport or self-defense because their short barrels make them inaccurate and their low quality of construction make them dangerous and unreliable. They are, however, favored by criminals because of their low cost and easy concealability.

Let us repeat: more people are killed by the .22 every year, than any other caliber.

.22 are indeed deadly in shots to the body, because they don't go through entirely and they bounce off bones, creating more havoc. They have the ability to penetrate through gaps in law enforcement officer's kevlar, such as at the sides. If a .22 bullet enters the head, it will fatally ricochet around in the skull.

.22s are also the most easy of all the rounds to use with a silencer. They are a favorite of assassins performing mob kills, using a semi-automatic .22 or a revolver chambered in that caliber along with a silencer.

Creative criminals create penguns, cell-phone guns, knife guns, and more, all using the .22. It is truly the most dangerous of all calibers in terms of human cost per year, if not in mass and size. The tiny .22 can travel over a mile, and this fact is bragged about in promotional literature.

Many people are killed and injured by stray rounds traveling through the air and striking innocent victims, even children. Often people in the country will shoot off the back of their porch - exercising their rights, no doubt - and end up causing deadly harm to someone else's family.

Do cut-down shotguns and silenced .22s belong on our streets, or in our schools? Should criminals have a ready access to the more 'innocent' versions, ripe for conversion to more lethal configurations?

The Brady Campaign is making our stand to fight against the gun lobby, once and for all. We may not be able to eradicate murder in the human heart, but if we keep those who would terrorize our children and our malls from having easy access to deadly weapons, it will be worth it if but one child's life is saved.

This guy is so ignorant, it's sad.

Number 6, I see no reason to insult anyone. The attempted Reagan assassination happened before a lot of the posters were born or were interested in "news".

So there you have it.

"Assault rifles"
"Sniper rifles"
"Destructive Device"
"Silenced assassin gun"

ARs/AKs
Hunting rifles
Shotguns
And small caliber firearms.

So whats left?

Seriously we ALL need to start publicly screaming about this.
 
This is just too good. Trap and skeet guns on the block.

Wonder how long before Brady HQ yanks that Onion-inspired page?
 
A poor excuse

The attempted Reagan assassination happened before a lot of the posters were born or were interested in "news".

It was NEWS again when Reagan died. Moreover, Sarah wheels out her prop at regular intervals to regale the faithful with mendacious tales of how unregulated guns caused her husband's condition.

The poster whose ignorance you attempt to rationalize claims he is:

Licensed FFL and FEL. Gunsmith. 30+ years as metal fabricator

That means he is at least 48 now, which means he was at least 21 at the time of the shooting. Don't you think he should remember an attempted presidential assassination?

My assessment stands.
