 … It has a collapsible stock. It has a pistol grip. It has detachable magazines. We have to make sure that those kinds of things don’t fall into the hands of somebody like this.”
S--- for brains. 

*************************
 

On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “New Day,” CNN Law Enforcement Analyst and retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent James Gagliano stated that the Founding Fathers “could not envision that an 18-year-old kid could go in a gun store, he can’t buy beer, but he could buy a semiautomatic weapon, and it’s a weapon of war.”

Gagliano began by saying that the tip the FBI received about the Parkland shooter should have been passed on to an agent, and “somewhere along the way” there was a mistake in the handling of the tip.

Later on, after the discussion stated, “I’m a veteran. I’m a former law enforcement officer. I’m a gun owner. I have a concealed carry permit. I am a hunter. I’m the exact person who needs to step up and say, we invented gunpowder in 1700 AD. The first guns were mid-14th century invented. The — 1791, the Second Amendment comes online. And here we are in 2018, and we’re hanging onto this and we’re going, ‘We just can’t talk about this. Because if we do that, we’re somehow going to tick off the Founding Fathers.’ The Founding Fathers could not envision that an 18-year-old kid could go in a gun store, he can’t buy beer, but he could buy a semiautomatic weapon, and it’s a weapon of war.

… It has a collapsable stock. It has a pistol grip. It has detachable magazines. We have to make sure that those kinds of things don’t fall into the hands of somebody like this.”

  1. What an Idiot. A collapsible stock, a pistol grip, and a detachable magazine makes the bullet deadlier.

    “I’m the exact person who needs to step up and say, we invented gunpowder in 1700 AD. The first guns were mid-14th century invented.”

    So, we invented guns 200- years before we had gunpowder.

    “1791, the Second Amendment comes online.”

    The Founding Fathers could not envision that an 18-year-old kid could go in a gun store, he can’t buy beer, but he could buy a semiautomatic weapon, and it’s a weapon of war.

    In 1792, twelve and fourteen-year-old had the exact same weapons of war used by the Continental Army, fighting the British. Today, no civilian can own a “Weapon of War” used by our military.

    But hell, since when did a democrat let facts get in the way of the agenda.

    1. If I had seen this piece on an unfamiliar site, I would have immediately checked to see if it was a parody or not.

    2. Great commentary,Badger! I would like to point out that the smoothbore musket was the firearm commonly used by militaries of that time. Americans had the Pennsylvania rifle (Kentucky rifle,if you prefer) which is far superior to a smoothbore musket. Our side had a better infantry weapon!

      Interesting and some info:

      They brought their Bibles, Hymn books, catechisms and long guns. It was from the long guns, originated and made exclusively in the Rhineland Region, that the famous Kentucky long rifles evolved.

    4. The Jaeger if memory serves was the springboard for the American rifles. The Gunsmith Shop in Old Salem has a very good presentation of both the skills required to create them, and the importance of the rifle to the citizens.

      And: Since when does the 2nd Amendment bow to the effeminate whining of a con artist, elected or crowned?

      I don't bother to address the 2nd anymore as it is a Natural Right, period.

I hear of the then "GUN FREE FIRE ZONE" shooting and make small talk with the local anti Gun "Talking heads" Yeah, sure, etc... then go get my Remington 597 .22LR rifle, a box of rounds, my spotting scope a bunch of empty cans and plastic bottles to take out to the 162 foot shelf out past the shed and "set up" on the patio table on the back deck.. got the portable radio playin', load up a rack and pop a "COLD BEER!!" Take a hit, and position the 597 on the rail... the radio is bairin' >> "WAR CHILDREN!!!!!!>>>> IT'S JUST A SHOT AWAY!! SHOT AWAY YEAA>>AAAEE>>AEEEE!!! "POW!!!!!"...Ping!!! a can flips up into the air!! I take another hit of that Cold Beer, take aim at the next target and think "Practice, Practice!!!!!".......

  3. When my friends in the Pub ask me why I love America so much and why I spent so much time over there I reply "God, guns, good manners and great food (the beer is a given)" and they just look at me in horror. Useless brainwashed idiots.
