@Simmer Down

The anti gun folks are already taking advantage of this shooting, the ink wasn’t even dry on them poor folks death certificates, and they already tried to pass (Four) anti gun bills.

And some in the homosexual community are taking pro gun action. They have their on version of the NRA called the “Pink Pistols” and their membership has doubled since the Orlando shootings.

So if the homosexuals are buying a lot more guns I don’t think Senator Evers is going to upset too many of them, because that would make them hypocrites.

@Bob you don’t have to buy a license to fly a drone, you only have to register it with the FAA, and that is only if it is over 1/2 pound.

Unfortunately most of our leaders are fools and lack discernment, you see terrorist groups could easily bring in their own automatic weapons, grenades, and rpg’s like they did in the recent French attacks (By the way one the most strict countries in Europe on gun ownership) but they know if they buy them here and use them on us, it will further cause division amongst the people, I guarantee you they are building a network and these attacks will grow and only get worse, and we will eventually see actual militants from foreign soil committ more of these attacks here, because they have them lined up and they all want to be a martyr.

REGARDING:
“@David Huie Green – What did you mean with your tag line, “For the right tool.”? The right tool for what?”

For whatever job you want to do.

It is the user who decides the job he or she wishes to do.

If you want to drive a nail, a hammer is the right tool.
If you want to cut wood, a saw usually does the trick.
If you want to kill a bunch of people (not that you should, but IF you do), you might want to use a bomb, fire or poison gas.
If you want to kill a particular person (not that you should do it lightly), you might want to use a rifle because you can narrow down the affected area and not hurt people you don’t want to hurt.
If you want to take your chances, use a single shot weapon.
If you want to drive off a mob intent on killing you or yours, you might favor a shotgun.
If you want to be a he-man, fight your attackers barehanded even if they have rocks, clubs, knives, spears, poison-tipped arrows illegal weapons, rope, shock sticks, Molotov cocktails. (You will die but they will tell how brave you were at your funeral — if anybody is left.
If you want to live in peace, be polite and let others understand you demand the same and can enforce it. Just desiring peace does not guarantee it. Too many women have had restraining orders against the men who killed them.

I may be willing to take my chances with my neighbors (especially in Bluff Springs where all my neighbors are good people), but it would be wrong of me to force others to risk their peace of mind and be unarmed or under-armed. They would wonder what I was plotting.

People keep comparing Trump to Hitler. I don’t agree, but what if I’m wrong?
Hitler managed to kill way more than are killed each year by people who would kill anyway and he did it by making sure they couldn’t put up a fight on the way to the ovens.

The same applies to Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao Tse Tung, Idi Amin, ISIS, all the dictators through history, anyone else who successfully carried out genocides or enslavement. It is unwise to depend on others who may say afterwards, “I was just following orders.”

Senator Greg Evers Apologized for the terrible shooting before he started the Raffle. He hates the fact that muslim shot up all those people.
Some people just want to criticize people they know nothing about. If you are ever “LUCKY” enough to meet and know Brother Greg Evers you will have a Positive Experience. We are lucky to have a man who wants to help EVERYONE !!

Simmer Down…
The quote of dancing in the blood of the victims is valid when you look at socialist’s mantra, even spoken by Rahm Emanuel, “never let a crisis go to waste”.
And the whole argument isn’t about someone not agreeing with my “line of thought”. The Second Amendment is very real and very clear, though socialists do everything to corrupt the clear meaning. The whole of the people of the United States are the militia, not the national guard. The national guard didn’t come into existence until 1903 with the passage of the Dick Act, and they are ultimately under Federal control.
And for the last time, the Second Amendment says NOTHING about the right to keep and bear arms having anything at all to do with hunting. It was place there to ensure a free state. Fudds will have you believe that all rifles should only be used for hunting wabbits.
What type of rifle is it? An ant-terrorist, anti-tyrant rifle…a freedom rifle.
Face it…there are millions of such firearms in the hands of law-abiding citizens that have done no harm to a single soul. There are semi-automatic rifles of lesser caliber (.22 .17HMR) and of far more power (.308, 7.62×51, 7.62×54R). Why punish tens or hundreds of millions for the crimes of less than a handful?
We are responsible firearms owners. We’re not giving up any of our weapons. We won’t back up one more inch.
The gun grabbers my try to ban/confiscate them, but I don’t think that they will enjoy the response.

@Sedition – Good sir, do you sincerely equate gun control advocates with socialists? That might be a stretch, but socialist is a buzz word that has strong negative connotations, so I see why you’d use it. It must be impossible for there to be fiscally conservative folks out there who don’t completely agree with your line of thought. I also disagree with your characterization that gun control advocates are “dancing in the blood of the victims.” It’s a ridiculous and insensitive statement that you lifted from other gun rights sources. Well done.

Finally, Sedition, I understand the difference between fully and semi-automatic weapons. Mateen got off 24 shots in 9 seconds. You say it’s not an assault weapon. It’s not a hunting rifle, is it? How do you classify the weapon he used?

@David Huie Green – What did you mean with your tag line, “For the right tool.”? The right tool for what?

Peace!

Good points @SimmerDown. I almost believe it’s a way to keep the base riled up so he can win the election. And likely he will win.

Omar Mateen killed . The rifle he used was an instrument. Could have been any type of weapon. I , for one, am tired of leftist screaming about gun control every time one of these shootings happen!. Are we so dumb to think that banning any type of gun will stop these senseless acts? The phrase “outlaw guns and only outlaws will have guns” sings loud and clear. A permit or law will not stop those that want to kill from getting what they need. Look at countries that have total no gun laws. There are still guns and killings in those places. Why penalize the good because of the bad, Could be that if one person in that club had a gun, many could have been saved! If nothing else. while he was on the phone or loading a new clip someone could have tackled him. The GUN is not the culprit here, blame the world we live iin today! there will, unfortunately be more of the same due to our declining society!

Concerned

It was not an assault weapon used.
It was not an automatic rifle as you claim we have no need of.
The Second Amendment was not instituted into the Bill of Rights because the deer were coming. It was Redcoats…the British…a tyrannical government.
If you read the writings of the founders, we are to be armed at all times to prevent another tyrannical government.

Simmer Down

Why now? Because once again the leftist (socialists) are dancing in the blood of victims to call for more gun control and gun bans. We cannot let their emotional attack on our rights get a foothold. The Bill of Rights doesn’t take time off. It is the Law of the Land 24/7 If ANY of the Bill of Rights are even temporarily suspended,then you can bet that we live in a tyrannical government as the BoR LIMITS governments rights, Government does NOT grant us these rights.

REGARDING:
“was not an AR-15, but a Sig Sauer MCX rifle.”

Good point.
Those who say, “They all look alike to me,” must be gunists since if they were saying it about people they would be racists.
