Biden wants to ban all gun magazines...that hold more than one bullet!

Is that the one that Confederate soldiers had a saying about to the effect that "a Yankee rifleman can load it on Sunday and shoot all week long"

Double barrel shotguns and pistols were around in the late 1700s.

Didn't Daniel Morgan's rifleman in the Revolutionary War have double barrel rifles? I thought it was with one of those that Timothy Murphy supposedly used to kill British general Simon Fraser at Saratoga.

great idea! I hope if the cops ever have to save your ass from mayhem and violence (hopefully that never happens to you but work with me here) all they bring is muskets. No big deal.

no they never took three minutes to load! Generally about 30 seconds or so but I see your point - you could get pretty far away if you ran for 30 seconds or just tackled the shooter or killed him with an improvised weapon.

From what I've read and hear lots of people don't react in what seems like a reasonable manner when faced with deadly force though.

Pocahontas is a joke. She's an obnoxious, shrill harpy who only has one strategy - class warfare. It's what the Dems always do, pit poor people against the affluent, demonize the well-to-do, the rich are victimizing you, blah blah blah. The well-off guy in the two-story house in the nice neighborhood down the street who's worked hard his entire life to afford a better lifestyle is to blame for your financial struggles. He's the reason you don't drive a BMW.

I mean, at this point it's a foregone conclusion that Trump wins reelection. What are the pathetic Dems going to do? Keep on hurling insults at Trump? He's been called every name in the book for the past three years, and attacked in the national media in ways that no previous President has ever had to endure. It hasn't changed a thing.

"Pocahontas" is not a racist insult. It simply mocks Warren's repeatedly claiming American Indian heritage in order to advance her career.

I still say that I want to get into national politics for one big reason.

So a member of the media can ask me

"What is your position on casinos on Native American lands?"

So I can say:

"I must say I have serious reservations."

No, that was the Henry lever-action rifle, which was sort of the first appearance of the Winchester pattern. IIRC, it loaded 15 rounds of a .44 rimfire round.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_rifle

dumb motherfuckers never heard of a puckle gun.

Maybe a few but most people take action of some kind - very few just freeze up or piss themselves or faint or anything. It depends on how you are wired I guess.

weren't pretty much all of those what would be categorized as "squad" weapons (multi barreled not withstanding) rather than "personal arms" (which seems to be where Gunforge has allowed for a line).

we've had handguns all but banned for years here...

a while back there was a video of some suburban kid holding up a store with what looked to have been his grandpa's SMLE.

No.

examples then?

I mean, Forbin and Zombie have both put to bed the notion there were repeating weapons with more than one in/perchamber before the mid 1800s. I specifically disqualified multibarrelled, like a Nock Gun (as it just takes 7 x as long to reload)...

So the answer is actually "yes".

especially when the effective range is less than 100 yards!

But from what I know Napoleonic era soldiers reputedly fired 3 rounds per minute-at least at the beginning of a formation battle .

Gun owner: "I'm against gun registration. It would let the government confiscate our guns."

Liberal: "You're paranoid. No one's coming for your guns."

Democratic Presidential hopefuls: "I'm coming for your guns."

With Biden, always assume it’s a gaffe.

AOC Feuds With GOP Congressman After He Tweets About Lending His Friends Guns
by Lindsey Weedston about 7 hours ago

Republican Congressman Dan Crenshaw voluntarily confessed on Twitter Tuesday that he casually lends his friends his handgun when they travel alone, citing a single (unusual) case of a woman defending herself from a group of alleged robbers. He used this to argue against the widely-supported idea of universal background checks.





Situations like this story are why we protect the 2nd Amendment.

Side note: With universal background checks, I wouldn’t be able to let my friends borrow my handgun when they travel alone like this. We would make felons out of people just for defending themselves. https://twitter.com/abc13miya/status/1168993652150026244 …

As the ratio got underway, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had some other important questions for her fellow congressperson.




You are a member of Congress. Why are you “lending” guns to people unsupervised who can’t pass a basic background check?

The people you’re giving a gun to have likely abused their spouse or have a violent criminal record, & you may not know it.

Why on earth would you do that? https://twitter.com/DanCrenshawTX/status/1169078474226765825 …

Crenshaw was very much offended at the suggestion that his friends might not be the upstanding citizens he assumes they are, even though he himself seems to suggest that his friends couldn’t pass a background check. If they really wanted a gun for a trip, the wait to pass a background check to purchase one is not that long.




Dan Crenshaw

✔@DanCrenshawTX


Just so I’m clear: you think my friends are domestic abusers/criminals? Seriously that’s your argument? That they can’t pass a background check?

Wrong. People lend guns to friends, esp if they don’t own a gun, for self-defense and hunting purposes.

I think we may have hit on an essential reason why the U.S. has so many more mass shootings than other Western nations. Too many Dan Crenshaws who think average Americans just hand out their guns to “friends” not responsible enough to go through the legal process of purchasing a firearm. Also, what Ocasio-Cortez said:

You said w/ universal background checks, you wouldn’t be able to “lend” guns to friends.

If a background check would be a problem, then you shouldn’t “lend” a gun.

And btw, NY is one of the safest states in the country when it comes to guns, incl rural areas.

The congresswoman also pointed out that many domestic abusers commit their acts of abuse in secret and work hard to hide their actions from others, including their friends. She herself knows people who had to “come out” to her as abuse victims because their abusive partners managed to hide the situation so well.




Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

✔@AOC


This idea of “I know the guy, there’s no way he beats his wife” as the way we keep guns out of the hands of abusers is ridiculous.

Any person who has been abused, assaulted, etc knows that abusers often present as “upstanding.”

There’s no way you’d know. That’s why it’s common. https://twitter.com/emilymiller/status/1169296328448512000 …

That's implicit in what Crenshaw is saying. He knows his friends and isn't being irresponsible. The criminals are the ones who give each other guns without care for society safety.

Rapists can have Ivy League degrees. Abusers can look like “good dads” or have high incomes or “great jobs.”

Good appearances are often a cover for abusers. In fact, many abusers RELY on their public reputation to intimidate partners from leaving (ex: “no one will believe you.”)


Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

✔@AOC

Domestic abusers can be master manipulators. Plus, domestic abuse is a HUGE indicator for gun violence.

That’s why “vouching for friend” isn’t a substitute for a background check.

You wouldn’t lend a car to someone w/o a license.Why lend a gun to someone w/o a background check?

Friends don’t let friends run around with guns without the proper vetting.

Crenshaw has not yet responded to Ocasio-Cortez’s points about abusers being notoriously sneaky and the entire idea of lending guns to friends being ridiculous either way, but other people on Twitter have some thoughts about this particular feud.

Take Dan Crenshaw’s guns away, specifically.
​

TLDGAD (too long, don't give a damn).

Man someone is channeling a mixture of Dayton and Oldfella formatting there.

There's no way that a ban of all guns that hold more than one shot will stick. Otherwise, how will people who live in rural areas deal with the 30-50 feral hogs that run through their yard every 3-5 minutes while their kids are playing?

I have some news for you. The people Elizabeth Warren is talking about consider a two-story house to be a summer cottage ... if they would even consider owning something that small at all.

What makes you think that Pocahontas was from Virginia?

Okay I missed the boat on this whole 30-50 feral hogs thing. Was it part of a story or something?

Shit the only time you should lend a handgun to someone is at the range, when you're out shooting together for fun. And NJ has even made THAT a crime (if you TOUCH a handgun that you don't personally own, it's considered illegal possession ).

Joe Walsh just needs to stick to playing guitar for the Eagles.
