NYT: Americans With Assault Rifles Should 'Give Them Up For The Good Of Their Fellow Citizens'

It is a moral outrage and a national disgrace that civilians can legally purchase weapons designed specifically to kill people with brutal speed and efficiency. (So, having ones which kill slower and with more agony would do, correct?) These are weapons of war, barely modified (zzz) and deliberately marketed as tools of macho vigilantism and even insurrection. ( I agree with the latter.) America’s elected leaders offer prayers for gun victims and then, callously and without fear of consequence, reject the most basic restrictions on weapons of mass killing, as they did on Thursday. They distract us with arguments about the word terrorism. Let’s be clear: These spree killings are all, in their own ways, acts of terrorism.

It is not necessary to debate the peculiar wording of the Second Amendment. No right is unlimited and immune from reasonable regulation. (We don't need the 2nd, we have a Natural Right) Certain kinds of weapons, like the slightly modified combat rifles used in California, and certain kinds of ammunition, must be outlawed for civilian ownership. (Good luck) It is possible to define those guns in a clear and effective way and, yes, it would require Americans who own those kinds of weapons to give them up for the good of their fellow citizens.

  1. Obviously, the NYT staff has no idea what the term "semi-automatic" means. Weapons-of-War or machine guns, i.e. Full-automatic rifles have been banned since 1934.

  2. The NYT can kiss my arse. Specifically the writer of that insipid tripe of an article.

  3. That the New York Slimes.....er...Times, would have me give up some thing for my own or any one else's good is all the more reason why I should do just the opposite. The NYT ought to realize that for the most part nobody cares what they have to say on just about any topic.

      Except their Left-Of-Lenin followers.

  4. If they insist, I willing to donate some of the bullets I have, and they won't even need to bring a bullet puller to get them.

  5. I suppose it's good I don't live near an area where there are NYT boxes.
    I'd get arrested for vandalism, painting Molon Labe on their boxes.

  6. "....designed specifically to kill people with brutal speed and efficiency."

    With ball-type ammunition?...Really?

    If the effects of ignorance could be measured by the destructive force of a nuclear weapon, one of these idiots would be able to wipe a whole continent off the face of the earth.

    ===================

    Dems try to force vote on ‘no-fly’ list gun limits
    The push is part of a larger messaging campaign the party will deploy this week

    Children playing in sandboxes. Nothing you pass will make one iota of a difference to men who will simply ignore them. You keep pushing and y'all will regret the outcome. Thanks.
