The Donald may be flawed, but he is a lot better than Hillary, Bernie, or the Green Party other Commie, what's her name.  Oh yeah, then there is Fauxchohotas. 

Compare Chelsea Clinton to Donald's kids, Eric, Don Jr, and Ivanka.  They are accomplished business people, and speakers.  Chelsea?  What has she done except get bribed by NBC for favors from her mom and dad. 

My brother lives there. I've heard all about the laws. I bought my AR up there years ago, minus the flash suppresor, you know "because they make them more deadly and scary looking", and we can't have that . What the hell happened to that state? Pretty much they started the revolution by saying "Screw you" to overreaching government. Now look at them.

What happened to Mass?  Boston happened, and academia happened.  Almost the entire northeast is plagued by big city, progressive, anti American attitudes.  Let's face it.  America is under siege, especially our 2A rights. 

Why does a flash suppressor, or a bayonet lug, or pistol grip make a rifle more dangerous than another rifle?  These rifles are rarely used in crime.  Gang bangers, and drug dealers typically use hand guns that they obtain illegally, and that's where most of the murders occur.  It is not law abiding gun owners, with legally owned guns, but that's what these stupid laws restrict. 

The politicians WANT to restrict the law abiding because that is what gives them power over us.  It is purely a power game for them.  They do not want us to have the ability to resist their will.  Washington DC is worse than England when we were a colony.

Where I take exception is for those who expressly own their firearms for defense against home invaders.  They're trying to tell me I need one for my self defense.  I promise you the day I need one for my self defense is the day I move.  And if I can find nowhere in the US where I can only find safety in carrying a firearm, I will become an expatriate.

I own firearms mainly for target shooting. I used to also hunt, but haven't for years since I got spoiled from living in Colorado, and the outdoor environment there.  However, even in my "nice' neighborhood, I know that HELL can come through the door or window at any moment.  Do I live in fear?  NO.  Do I expect that to ever happen?  NO.  It is a possibility though, so I am prepared for it.  I will not be a victim, or have me or my family held hostage, and/or murdered. 

Trees don't go out of their ways to kill loggers.  Roofs don't decide one day to kill roofers and airplanes don't wake up in the morning deciding to go get a pilot because they don't like them.  While there are jobs that can kill more of their practitioners then being a cop, none of them have sentient beings deciding to kill the practitioners.

John, my friend, it is great to see you here!!!

I've been a LEO for 13 years. Been in a shooting, been to the emergency room twice (once in the back of an ambulance), surgery to fix injury on the job, and been in more fights than I remember. More dangerous than my father-in-law the retired roofer, and he will even tell you that. Do I fear for my life all day, no, but I've been in plenty of situations where I have.

My Grandfather was a Philly beat cop, then a Philly detective.  He never had to draw his Smith and Wesson revolver.  It is a different world now.  Glad you pulled through, and thanks for being one of the good guys.  I do think some police are different now, as municipalities want to generate revenue from traffic stops, and other means.  A lot of fishing expeditions going on for broken tail lights, etc. 

The Clintons make Nixon's paranoia look like mild consternation.

The Liberal, Progressive media made such a big deal out of Watergate to bring down the Republicans.  Watergate was a joke, but killed the Republicans from 1972 to Reagan's election in 1981.  It was the first time I saw the media coup.  Back then there was no alternative voice.  Cronkite even admitted he was a liberal towards the end of his career, and admitted bias news coverage, which wasn't really "news" but liberal, progressive indoctrination. 

Terrorists, and criminals are stopped only with a good guy (or gal) with a gun.  If they are these crazy mass shooters they typically commit suicide when confronted by good guys with guns, or they get put down like the dogs they are. 

Legally owned, and carried firearms, carried by law abiding citizens are what seperates us from the rest of the world in being able to fight off terrorism, and criminals.
