Chuckles Chucky Schumer has a great idea - banning high capacity magazines. High capacity, of course, meaning a very reasonable 10 rounds. Fine do it. Now, do you suppose that a guy like James Holmes, a doctoral student in neuroscience, can’t find a way around Schumer’s lame-brained idea?
Give me two 10 round magazines, a hacksaw, soldering iron, metal file and in half a day and I’ll have you a 20 round magazine. I know that Chucky knows this. Holmes’ AR-15 jammed. His shotgun caused most the damage. The shotgun Holmes chose for his deed was a Remington 870 Express Tactical pump shotgun (not semi-auto Chucky) with an ammo capacity of…drum roll…3 to 4 rounds – 5 max if it is loaded with one in the chamber.
Anyone who knows anything, that excludes Chucky and most Demo-Dopes, can figure out that in a crowd at close quarters a shotgun will be way more effective at causing casualties than a rifle. Whatever these dopes come with will easily be overcome by smart guys like Holmes and even dummies with a lot time on their hands.
The big problem with gun control zealots is that they seem to know so little about guns. They tend to judge a gun by how it looks. They tend to think that criminals, intent on indiscriminate killing, will give a damn about a ban on high capacity magazines. The Chuckys of the world believe that their hare-brained ideas are all that’s necessary to keep the James Holmeses of world at bay. There are currently about 24,000 gun laws on the books. Murder and attempted murder are themselves crimes. Yet Chucky thinks limiting the capacity of a magazine is going to solve the problem of nut cases getting and using guns.
How about we just round up all the nut cases and put them institutions where they belong? Congress would never go for that. Half of them would have to be rounded up.
And in a rather chilling development over the weekend, reliably constitutionally minded Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia said Sunday the extent of gun ownership “will have to be decided in future cases.” That should shock everyone but surprise nobody. A court that takes it upon itself to rewrite unconstitutional law from the bench is going to do anything else it damn well pleases.
When it comes time to turn in our weapons, Americans may just have to echo the Catholic Bishops’ stance with regard to paying for Julia’s abortion, we will not comply.
Yeah, I am passionate about the Second Amendment. I believe it is the only thing standing between us and an even more onerous government. Once the people's guns are gone and if Little Barry has "more flexibility" in a second term, America is truly screwed. It'll be game, set, match.
