7 Deceptive Claims Jimmy Kimmel Made About Guns in One Monologue

Gun banners are keen on bringing up gun laws in Europe and wish we emulated them. Yet, in some of those countries, suppressors are hardly regulated at all.

Sorry for the long links, work filters prevent me from going to those websites.

 

I fired in CA the M-14 at Fort Ord that was selectable to full automatic.I fired it full automatic at the range. When I got to Germany, we were told our M-14s were semi automatic, but that on orders from our Commanding Officer, the weapons could easily get the fully automatic selector installed. I never fired the weapon at all so never tried to mess with the selector.

I did not care to ask why. I supposed it was to save ammo and perhaps to prevent injury at the range.

 

Smart? More like shrewd. He was really good at insulating himself from his criminal activities such as running guns to Mexican cartels.

 

The best part of that guy ran down on to the mattress.

 

Oh.. Like fast and furious.. That was a sexy scheme to trace guns started under Bush.

 

That's how it started off by Bush, however Obama let the guns disappear and refused to allow gunshop owners to stop the sales.

 

This is childish.. are you so naive? .. Bush OKed a program he didn't personally manage the program... Neither did Obama. ATF screwed up. Did it provide the intel they wanted? I have no idea.

 

What's not possible? That the NRA can lobby to block research? The fact that data is potentially available (we can debate whether "readily" is an accurate descriptor) doesn't rebut that. And I'm not sure how studying anything can take anyone's rights away. That sounds like hyperbolic nonsense. Yes, you and I agree that violence should be prevented. But it seems that we, and the NRA, disagree on how well informed the public should be when figuring out how to prevent it.

 

That's fine. Maybe the NRA should stop doing things deserving of scorn, then. Offering training doesn't change the fact that they actively work to undermine efforts to understand gun violence.

 

Like it, but not like it at all.

See when Bush did it, the guns had trackers on them and the Mexican government knew all about it and helped participate in it. When Obama did it, there were no trackers, the Mexican government was not informed, and Holder ended up with a contempt of Congress charge over it. Big differences. Huge differences.

 

Jimmy Kimmel is the same guy that used to demean women isnt it? If I remember correctly he referred to them as juggies and he used to have women in bikinis jump on trampolines for his entertainment. Is this the same guy?

 

You think Obama failed to put trackers on the guns... Are you kidding me? Sounds like a lie to me.

 

Jimmy Kimmel isn't on the list of mass murderers.

Laying down suppressive fire can and is done every day in semi.

An M-4/16 firing in semi is functionally identical to every single AR-15 style rifle in civilian hands in the US.

And for that matter, you could safely make the case for eliminating burst fire from those weapons in the military. Burst fire/automatic fire doesn’t get used in any kind of large numbers from assault rifle except for by SOF units and they procure their own gear anyways.

 

Time and technology have changed quite a bit. If you think your AR-15 is going to stop the evil government tyranny, then you simply are too ignorant about the effectiveness of small arms used to modern insurgencies.

(Hint: small arms are some of the least effective weapons used by insurgents)

 

Congress gets a pile of money from NRA lobbyists.. Its a matter of public record.

So now you just have to infiltrate an air base or get inside the perimeter of a tank unit with its guard up. Genius plan.

You myght kill a couple guys and lose your entire team of “freedom fighters”.

 

Wrong sorry you already lost that argument.

 

Smarter than your claim.

 

Not at all. You aren’t going to stopping any tanks or shooting down any planes with your AR. My point stands.

A real tyrannical government that gives no ****s about collateral damage will just murder your whole town when you start shooting your AR at their forces from near t.

 

I was referring to your idiotic sarin gas failure.

And yes no one said you could shoot down a plane or destroy a tank with a rifle but that point of your was wrecked and destroyed.

The crews are vulnerable especially when they go out drinking.

Sorry but your attitude about resisting government tyranny has been historically proven wrong over and over again in many wars including some we have fought ourselves.

 

Why would they go out drinking in an undefended uncontrolled area where there are active insurgents operating?

Resisting government tyranny requires insurgency tatcis and for modern insurgencies, small arms are their least effective weapons.

IEDs are by far more effective and you are already willing to accept them being so heavily regulated as to be illegal for most citizens. But any restrictions on your least effective weapons means you’re suddenly defenseless?
