The Captain’s Journal » Obama Calls On Congress To Ban Assault Weapons And High Capacity Magazines
“I’ve been a hunter all my life, and there’s no reason to have a magazine that holds 30 shells,” Thompson said.
I don’t care that he is alleged to have been a hunter his whole life. That brings with it absolutely no authority to me. He is a nobody. And he is no gun rights activist. But I guess no one who is hunting really does need 30 rounds in a single magazine if you’re hunting regulated game such as deer. If you’re hunting feral hogs you want as many rounds as you can get, and if you are defending yourself against a home invasion, you want the best weapon suited for the purpose, including a high capacity magazine, just like Mr. Stephen Bayezes who saved his life with one.
Here is a prediction. The majority of shooters who are intent on harming people choose multiple firearms (including a mix of guns), or in the future will choose to fabricate their own high capacity magazine if they want it for their nefarious aims. This ban won’t affect the level of gun violence in the least. It will, however, increase the power and control of the federal government, and that’s its purpose.
For most unthinking, ignorant products of the American educational system, the notion that our government might have already morphed into the sort of tyranny our Founders and Framers would have led a second revolution against is unthinkable.
And since they are incapable of thinking about it, they are blind, deaf, and dumb to the motives and goals of the tyrant now seeking to disarm the biggest obstacle to total authoritarian state control we still have: the armed people the Framers guaranteed as a bulwark against that very tyranny in the United States Constitution.
In other words, Obama and the Ruling Party are protected by the very unbelievability of what they are trying to accomplish. The twisted truth is that the more outrageously they act to restrict liberty, the more the ignorati and the boobocracy become incapable of understanding what they are actually doing.
“Obama is a tyrant? Don’t be silly. He’s the President! How could he be a tyrant?”
