Executive order for Gun Control!!

[BEEMDUB]

23 executive actions.... did I hear that right? What a fucking idiot, wonder if/how many the supreme court will toss.

lol you heard right...I didn't even hear them announce what the actual "actions" are

[Lbox88]

They didn't. Vague mentions of them, talk about kids, talk about change, then I had to stop watching I was getting so pissed.

[Herokight]

They talked to the Texas representative and wouldn't even let him talk. he kept cutting him off and twisting his words.

I fucking hate the news, and I'm not sure if I hate CNN of FOX worse.

The representative from Texas said everything we've been saying here. But they tried to make it sound like he doesn't care.

we need to keep the "clip" talk on the down low! Once these know nothing assholes catch on they might get a clue and change the wording!

I have like 30 clips, all for my SKS. They make it easier to load my high cap mags when they are still in the mag well...

[Lbox88]

Do you guys seriously believe the clip/mag misconception is really gonna happen? lol, like they are really going to write it in as clip only and we'd get away with it.

From an Australian point of view your constitution here are a few points.

1# When your constitution was written firearms were single shot and relatively weak and there for would have been impossible for one person to kill 20 kids.

2# People do not require AR's or other high powered weapons for self defence a pistol works fine.

3# There are already many very high powered weapons that are not allowed to be owned by civilians they are just talking about adding more to that list not completely taking away your right to bare arms.

4# Your fears of not being able to take over the government is stupid as well, the democracy system makes it impossible for your government to do anything too drastic against the people even obama can be arrested and charged.

5# In every modern country there are laws in place to protect innocent life. Drink driving, speeding, building codes such as fire doors etc. High powered firearm restrictions are no different to those, accident or planned massacre they still pose more danger than good.

I know many americans feel strongly about subjects such as firearms and free speech but the truth is the rest of the world sees america as little more than a joke when it comes to your laws. Laughing and cringing about things we read about your legal system is common place at my work. Medicare for example, Australia has had government healthcare for decades and we simply cannot understand why Americans have such an issue with it when it works perfect in so many countries.

This post is not meant as an attack or a troll of any kind, I am simply taking the opposing side to most people on this forum.

#1 i dont think the guys AR that killed 20 kids was a full auto

#2 could have been done with 2 hand guns if needed to be you can buy extended clips

#3 if you keep letting them take shit away eventually you will be left with nothing

#4 our government writes new laws ontop of old laws without a problem you can say democracy all you want but thats just another BS story

#5 we adopted pretty much canadas health care act they hated it so much that they started comming to america for treatment

so if you dont live here or know what the fuck your talking about keep it to yourself

this well said...

I'm gonna stay relatively shallow in this thread because I can see myself snapping something FEROCIOUS and I don't wanna do that.
