I agree 04badford. Soldiers fought and died for these rights; now lousy politicians want to remove them with the stroke of a pen. VT just made “high capacity” magazines illegal. Does the governor realize it only takes a few seconds to load a fresh 10-round mag into a rifle? What on earth does he think he is accomplishing?

Soldiers fight and die to secure the foreign policy objectives of the people who own America.

And if the state can pass a law restricting a particular class of weapon then you don't really have a legal right to own one.

You still have the right to complain. But there's not much chance your "representatives" will listen.

This is a problem that should have been addressed generations ago. And people didn't want. So now we're ****ed.

Not one, but two men ran to their respective cars to grab their guns when a shooter opened fire at an Oklahoma City restaurant Thursday.Police Capt. Bo Matthews said today that both of those men shot suspect Alexander C. Tilghman on Thursday. Tilghman died as a result of those gunshots.The two civilians have been identified by police as Juan Carlos Nazario, 35, and Bryan Whittle, 39."You are welcome," Nazario said to local ABC affiliate KOCO after the shooting. "Just did what was trained to do to neutralize the situation."Before being killed by the two civilians, Tilghman fired shots into Louie's Grill & Bar near Lake Hefner on Thursday. He shot three people, all of whom are expected to survive, Matthews said.Immediately after the shooting, Matthews told the media that a single civilian shot the suspect, but upon further investigation, it was determined that two men both shot the suspect. The two men who shot Tilghman "were not carrying their firearms on them, they [their firearms] were in their vehicles," Matthews said today.When asked what he would call Nazario and Whittle, Matthew described them as "two people that stopped a very tragic situation from going any further."During the news conference today, Matthews wouldn't directly call them "heroes" but said that it was "a great terminology" for the media to use."You can say they're heroes, which is a very good thing to say," Matthews said.
ABC News















Multiple people were injured in a shooting at an Oklahoma City restaurant Thursday afternoon, police said.Nazario and Whittle did not know one another and had arrived at the restaurant separately, he said.Matthews said that because the men were not carrying their weapons on them, conceal carry laws would not be applicable in the case. He did not disclose any information about whether or not they had such licenses, and said that it would be up to the district attorney to decide if they face any charges for their actions, but hinted that he does not expect a case to be brought against them."These guys were protecting somebody else's life. I would think more than likely they would not be filed on," Matthews said.Tilghman, 28, was reportedly wearing shooting glasses and earmuffs commonly seen at gun ranges, Matthews said."It looks like his mind was made up that he was going to [use] his firearm when he got there," Matthews said.
ABC News















Multiple people were injured in a shooting at an Oklahoma City restaurant Thursday afternoon, police said.Matthews said the police "have no records of anybody making any other reports" on Tilghman in their system, though he did have a record of a 2003 arrest for domestic assault and battery from when he was 13 years old.Matthews said that police have not found any record of Tilghman having mental health issues, though said that if someone is to commit "an act like this, you'd have to assume that he probably had a little bit of mental illness."Tilghman fired "from the outside of the door into the restaurant," Matthews said, adding "to me, it looks like a random event.""It could have been really tragic. Again, we're really blessed that only three people were shot and didn't lose their lives," Matthews said of the victims.The National Rifle Association tweeted about the shooting on Thursday, touting it as an example of the idea that “the best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun,” an idea disputed by experts.


2 civilians rushed to their cars to get their guns before fatally shooting Oklahoma City restaurant gunman




Food for thought:
If the corrupt want to coin the phrase "Gun Violence" when a madman goes on a shooting rampage,then why do they not call these events,when good men save life's using guns; "Gun Heroism"?


Constitution of United States of America 1789 (rev. 1992)

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.









Meanwhile,another 115 of our loved ones will die just today from drug overdose followed by another 115 tomorrow then another 115 the next day and so forth (the worst mass shooting in modern US history; 58) ............Just saying.
Opioid Overdose Crisis | National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)



I'm trying not to get to political here either but in closing;
Be careful where you "March" or you could find yourself no longer "Standing" in America.

It's gonna get worse when Gavin Newsome gets elected, especially when it comes to more erosion of our firearms rights.

Liberals operate from fear, and they’ve got an entire routine about people supposedly shooting family members and not being able to stop criminals,
But people who want to take away your rights under the pretense of safety and security are really just laying the groundwork for tyranny.
In the end, the only form of gun control that works is taking aim before pulling the trigger.

The United States Constitution (c) 1791. All Rights reserved.

Gun control is proper breathing and to squeeze, don't pull.

yes

just thought i would add my 2 cents worth the main reason japan never invaded aussie in 43 was the armed population they said that near every home had a gun and every body was prepared to use it .





easier to blame the GUN.. not a person... or persons... groups... mistreatment....
.
the gun has no rights.. just the owner..

same thing in the 1960's, the collage tower shootings... and many since.

fyi.. I have never owned a gun.

the main reason another country has never attacked the USA.. largest standing Armed civilian force... my opinion.[/QUOTE]
