David Hogg protests outside NRA HQ — protected by armed guards?

He didn't say "future sales". Feel free to quote him where he does say that.

Gun control activists, particularly those who attended the "March for Our Lives" rallies in cities across the US on March 24, frequently talk about banning assault weapons.

They often point to the fact that assault weapons like AR-15-style rifles were used in the deadly mass shootings in Parkland, Las Vegas, Orlando, Connecticut, and Texas.

But how such a proposal would actually work — and which types of gun would be included in the ban — is a lot more complicated than it seems.

The National Rifle Association and many gun rights activists believe that an assault weapons ban is a catch-all attempt to confiscate most commonly owned firearms.


Plus there's several problems with banning "assault weapons": https://www.businessinsider.com/ass...ats-2018-3?utm_source=referral&utm_medium=aol
The problem with Feinstein's bill, Rubio added, is that while it would ban more than 200 specific models of guns, thousands of others that are "identical in the way that they function, in how fast they fire, in the type of caliber that they fire, [and] in the way they perform" would still be legal.

Rubio's suggestion was clear: A ban on assault weapons, without an explicit definition of what an assault weapon actually is, would inevitably infringe on Second Amendment rights.

Legislators should instead "make sure that dangerous criminals — people that are deranged — cannot buy any gun of any kind," Rubio said. "That's what I believe a better answer will be."

 

This has been pointed out many times on the forum.

It is a talking point, a lie made up deliberately by the Democratic Party and the MSM owned by the global super rich. It is what he is to supposed to say. So why would do you think he say anything different because of any facts showing the truth - when it has already been on the forum dozens and dozens of times?

 

The other BIG LIE is that in fact the NRA has NEVER opposed the right to have gun free zones. Ever. Just another Democratic Party lie they tell over and over and over.

 

According to 18 U.S.C. 3056, the U.S. Secret Service has the total support of the federal law to regulate the protection of the President of the United States. The President is like the rest of us, he is (technically) required to be obedient to the law of the land.

There you go.

 

Being a hypocrite is the only way he can get attention anymore.

He'll be jerkin' it on the street in San Diego in no time.

 

I get it. "Controversial lives matter!"

 

Who cares what Jason Wells thinks?

 

No, he is being hypocritical. If guns are harmful it doesn't matter who has them. He clearly sees the value an armed guard brings to the table. He likely has had death threats.

He should see that guns are actually a good thing for the right people to have.

The disagreement is who the right people are.

 

How does that make him hypocritical if he agrees that the right people should have guns and his bodyguards are part of the right people?

 

So there are a very few models of weapons that Hogg advocates against, and high capacity magazines.
I don't know dirt about guns. How many hundreds, or is it thousands of models that Hogg and other 'anti gun' advocates have no problem with? What do you have in your arsenal that Hogg has a problem with?
Do you have high capacity magazines and will it really affect your life in any way or form if you didn't?
As i've stated previously, no problem if you want to argue that Hogg is a fool, or that his arguments are ridiculous, but so many of you start off with 'he wants to takeour guns away' and that is just patently false.

 

Well if Hogg's platform is that the parkland shooter shouldn't have guns, I completely agree. But it isn't, his platform is that I shouldn't have a semiautomatic rifle because the parkland shooter was nuts.

I've been a body guard before. It isn't a special certification. It's just an average citizen that doesn't have any felonies or any thing that would prevent them from legally owning a gun.

I agree your strawman lacks common sense.

 

only because they are guarding him. If they are guarding themselves or their family they are the wrong people.

Maybe i was wrong with the assessment that it's hypocritical, it's egomaniacal.

 

The hypocrisy of the left knows no bounds.

 

When did we appoint him to determine who the "right people" are who have 2nd Amendment protections?

 

Thanks for admitting there is, indeed, a ban being discussed.

Do you really think it's smart to supporting banning something you don't know anything about?

Define "assault weapon" and then we can discuss how many types of weapons you want to ban.

Yes, I have several of the firearms and magazines being discussed. Why does my having them affect your rights?

 

Unfortunately true.

 

Are you denying that there are in the anti gun control "movement" who would like to legally hold a purge like in the movies?
"Movements" don't have membership requirements, or even defined members.

 

I haven't seen any anti-gunners who advocate using guns to kill others.

 

It's the ANTIFA/BLM left seeking the "purge"....

 

Just FYI: If theres drinking at the convention, youre not allowed to carry.

Its the law, but there is hypocrisy on both sides.

 

Camera Hogg is enjoying the spotlight on him, he wont stop. Like the EPA he will just keep on keeping on.

 

Who was the guts to take away President Trumps gun?

 

Nah. We'd prefer you just leave us alone.

 

Agreed. I fail to see why LWers have become such authoritarians and feel compelled to dictate to others how to live, what to believe and what rights they are allowed.

 

Power. They want it. And we see what they do when they have it.
