I need to get an NRA hat... I wish they made one that had ANY modern styling.
Every NRA hat I've ever seen fits me like it came off the $2.99 rack at the bait shop near the lake.

Like this one... Great looking graphics, but look at how high that hat is..

When these reporters are talking to these idiot Dems and they spew their spiel on "reasonable restrictions" & "common sense laws" and "AWB", why does the reporter NOT ask them what is it they don't understand about the words "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED"?

They understand those words very well. Their problem is that, if they obey those words, they will not be able to turn free citizens into unarmed, defenseless peasants who can be ruled, exploited, and eliminated safely. Never kid your self. Talk about crime is pure smokescreen. It is really about power and people who believe that we have too much power over ourselves and they have too little power over us.

More Money for NRA.

Twenty-five percent of all police are killed by assault weapons, and they cannot defend themselves from that.

Would that be 25% of all police each year? I had no idea the death rate was anywhere near that high!

Perhaps if police didn't carry those assault weapons, they'd be less convenient/available and police wouldn't be killed by the assault weapons as often. Look at the 9 bystanders who got shot by police recently. More range time might help too.

Disarm the Police like in New Zealand and you'd have less. Look at the 9 bystanders who got shot by police recently. More range time might help too.

NZ Police didn't used to wear guns, but several had near-death experiences as bad guys armed themselves.

Retention versus availability/access
Video: Good discussion on should police leave the gun in the car or wear it on a belt like in the wild west, which is more risky for police

Carrying guns in a holster on the hip is still not routine for New Zealand police officers - but don't ask to see what's under their armpits or in their car boots. Rachel Grunwell reports on the police officer's arsenal.

Senior frontline police carry as many as six firearms in the boots of their cars.

panicked cops reaching for the trigger first without justification.

Deja Vu- the old "blood will run in the Streets" argument used by anti CHL. anti-campus carry, anti-gun brady groups ...

Yes, I get that.

My point was why don't the Reporters throw that back into their face when they spout off their rhetoric? Force them to answer that question?

I don't think you understand the point. Jesse said it's 25 % of ALL POLICE, not 25% of those killed. So, there are 36,000 police in NYC, therefore 9000 per year must be getting killed by assault weapons.

[RPB]

I didn't catch the math, but found the assertion ridiculous; even considering what the author meant, though it's even more so with the way it was stated.

No i understood he was making fun of a poorly worded sentence.

I was speaking to the lie the statement is regardless of the poor sentence structure used by the author.

[Heartland Patriot]

The article references the line "an honest, open national conversation about firearms.” from the Democrat Party platform. But what that line REALLY means is "what are you willing to let us take away from you now in regards to guns?"
