You are incorrect on so many levels…
1) The Second Amendment was not put in place because the deer, turkeys, squirrels, rabbits we coming. It was the redcoats, the British, a tyrannical government. It is there for us to protect ourselves from a tyrannical government usurping powers that it Constitutionally does not have.
2) It was not a military weapon used in Orlando, nor was it an assault rifle. It wasn’t even an AR-15 as widely reported by main stream media. It was a Sig Sauer MCX.
3) The rifles of which you speak do not take clips, they require magazines. Any responsible gun owner would know the difference.

But you are right on one point…we DO need to wake up to the murders and slaughtering of people. The shooter in Orlando was watched by the FBI and they let him slip through the cracks anyway. It wasn’t the gun that murdered all those people, it was a terrorist nutjob.

Joy, apparently you’ve never fired an AR-15…….you’re missing out. When the liberal lefties start talking about banning these types of weapons, what they are really saying is we’re going to take your rights to own weapons away. If you believe they are not, you are sadly mistaken/naïve We have the Constitutional right, as Americans, to bear arms.. Don’t be a sheep…be the wolf!

As a NRA spokesman, as a man who values guns more than life, I don’t think so. The great Rubio couldn’t do it why would you think he could?

I can’t believe that people THINK their guns are being taken away!! NOT ONE gun has been taken and NO law has suggested it- BUT what DEER, turkey, squirrel, rabbit are you going to kill with that military weapon???? NONE – we pass laws to protect our animals and what they can be culled with but it’s ok to have a damned assault weapon like this.
I own guns – I believe in guns BUT I don’t need all those bullets in a clip for any reason at all.
Wake up to the murders and slaughtering of people. what in the world does it take for people to use their brains and quit watching the BS on TV all day – especially FOX entertainment – take stock of the world. STOP THE SLAUGHTER.

So Evers wants to become another one of the NOers preventing the government from functioning properly?
Seems ironic, and a bit stupid too, that a candidate with at least 3 US military bases in his district is complaining about not being able “to rely on the federal government for anything”.

Interesting that he wants to be part of the federal government that he doesn’t believe wants to protect you.

Back in 1971-72 an R&B group the Staple Singers had a hit song, Respect Yourself.

Mr, Evers and the Thinking and Aware Citizens know now that there needs to be a new song, PROTECT YOURSELF.

Thank you Mr. Evers for helping to protect Our Rights.
