  1. Hey everybody just blindly trust the government that lied about a reason to invade Iraq and then toppled that country and faced ZERO charges for it. Big Brother knows best!

    1. @Yellowjack17 ANY government, dummy. Iraq happened under a Republican. Libya happened under Obama. Just because your political party is in power doesn’t mean they won’t turn on you.

    2. Both parties are enemies of the people along with all media outlets. Wish my fellow Americans were more principled with courage to stand up and demand real changes.

  2. Everyone knows that banning guns made Mexico a place free from gun violence.
    We should ban guns here. Then we can be as safe as the people seeking asylum.

    1. @Mojo Australia never had a gun culture or more guns than people. America has both. Comissar Beto is going to not only incite violence with his draconian policies, he will open up a domestic and foreign black market for guns.

  3. LOL Good luck with that Beto. There’s gonna be a lot of dead congressmen and policemen if you try doing a mandatory buy-back.

    1. This guy is living in a fantasy world if he thinks he has any prior claim to any of my personal property. I do not owe this jerk anything and he has no right to demand anything from me ! I have ocean front property in Kansas to sell him too !!

    1. TheMsdos25 “Military style” is really any gun. They changed the wording because too many people caught on to the lie that “AR” stands for assault rifle and that it’s a military grade weapon when it isn’t. They are now using new terms. They also openly say ALL semi automatic guns need to be banned. They want a gun ban period and are getting more bold saying it openly now.

    2. LAST CALL Again ALL the guns you mentioned are in the list to be banned. It’s clear they are calling for outright gun confiscation.

    3. @LAST CALL They won’t care. They are begging the government to control them. They are weak and the leaders know it.

      This is what we get for the participation trophy generation. They expect to be “taken care of”. They will.

      If anyone has seen soylent green, that is a high probability for our future.

    4. @Joaquin Aguilar <--- another dumbdowned feminist male that bleeds heavily from his vagina once a month. Hey Joaquin, why don't take your hippy peace and love crap to the armed gang members in the streets of Chicago aka Chiraq. Tell them that they need to give up their rifles and that they need to follow the law. Let me know how that works out for you.

    1. Do you idiot’s even know what the 2nd amendment actually means or you just pull it out of your pocket when needed.???

    2. Everyone seem far too content at disregarding what the 2nd amendment *_actually says._* If we are to lean so heavily on it – we *must* adhere to the *_well regulated_* bit too. And that is _most _*_definitely_* not the status quo.

    3. (Title; “God, the liberal, and the Garden of Eden”) When God kicked out Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden put an Angel with a FLAMING SWORD (a firearm ?) at the entrance to guard his property. God was willing to use deadly force to protect his rightful property. The liberal told God and the Angel to get permission from the “Authorities” !

    1. Anyone in their right mind would refuse to do that.. How many houses do you think you would get through before “your shift would be over”? Realistically no more than 5; and that’s being overly generous. Either way whatever poor soul was tasked with and agrees to carry out something like that would lose their life that day. It’s lose lose.

  4. A question for Beto
    How are you going to get all the assault weapons away from criminals? where I can buy one for less than a retail price and as much ammunition as I can pack away I’m thinking they won’t have any compassion to say hey here’s all of what we sell on the black market

    1. ajtruj1 That is why the Founding Fathers stated our rights are inalienable and given to us by our Creator. When God gives you your rights no human being can withdrawal them.

    1. Jason R
      Watchlist candidate right here ^^
      Once you people turn violent the country will turn against gun rights. You’ll make their cause emboldened.

    1. The constitution facilitated slavery. You think that should have remained absolute? Ammendments both enacted and ended Prohibition. Our world change, the nation change, the people change. Law needs to adopt – its job and purpose is to protect the people from harm and abuse. Not protect its own status quo at any cost.

      At the end of the day – we need to come to grips with the *_”Well regulated_* militia” bit. Because the status quo is protecting and favoring commercial interests, at the direct expense of the very lives of citizens.

  5. Actually you can own a grenade launcher, its the ammo that is restricted. And YES, you can own and drive a tank down the street.

    The government regularly sells decommissioned military vehicles. Ever been on Govplanet?
