My AR-15 is 'ready for you', Texas lawmaker tells Beto O'Rourke

No I didn't.

Your loss.

 

Yeah, you did say wikipedia is not valid:

With a wiki link? You can't be serious.
​

You get one more chance to back it up or admit you made a mistake. Otherwise I put you on ignore.

 

Let's say that leftists do manage to get Beto's ban. What are they going to do to stop people from using Jury Nullification? Effectively nullifying the law and their penalties? Just like what happened during the prohibition era.

 

To be fair many believe wiki to not be a valid source to link to. Many professors in college and Universities reject any papers that have links to wiki in them. That's usually why I just use wiki, go to their external links that back up what they say and use those. In the end wiki is still being used and they can't use the claim of "wiki is not a valid source".

 

Good point. But it would never get that far. Instead, law officers just wouldn't enforce the gun confiscation laws.

 

You seem to get the message

 

Abe Lincoln probably said something similar.

 

Welp, they have to provide reasons for saying it's not reliable, because, according to a study in Nature:

Nature chose articles from both sites in a wide range of topics and sent them to what it called "relevant" field experts for peer review. The experts then compared the competing articles--one from each site on a given topic--side by side, but were not told which article came from which site. Nature got back 42 usable reviews from its field of experts.

In the end, the journal found just eight serious errors, such as general misunderstandings of vital concepts, in the articles. Of those, four came from each site. They did, however, discover a series of factual errors, omissions or misleading statements. All told, Wikipedia had 162 such problems, while Britannica had 123.

That averages out to 2.92 mistakes per article for Britannica and 3.86 for Wikipedia.
​

And this study:

And last year, a study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology found that Wikipedia had the same level of accuracy and depth in its articles about 10 types of cancer as the Physician Data Query, a professionally edited database maintained by the National Cancer Institute.
​

So there's no reasonable justification for not accepting wikipedia as a source.

 

No, I didn't.

Congratulations on the accurate C&P...

...which proves I did no such thing...

...so you can go to Hell for all I care.

 

Me and the rest of us responsible Gun Owners are not the problem, you should be saying that Criminals and Illegals who try to purchase Guns in America should be the ones shoving AR-15's up their Asses, but instead it's us Legal responsible Gun owners you attack. If Liberals are serious about confiscating Guns, because they're tired of all the Gun Deaths, then start with the Bad Guys and then work your way to us.

 

Responsible Gun Owners?....You mean the ones in the NRA that oppose ANY sensible regulations and universal background checks?..The ones that make it EASY for criminals to obtain weapons of war.....Those types of gun owners?.....What a joke

 

Well an unconstitutional act WOULD take place if RADICAL O'Rourke took away the guns, right? Nobody is saying that he's done anything unconstitutional YET!

 

That still leaves gun owners outside the law and hoping for a sympathetic jury to save them

Better to fight the Beto’s of the world while we are still free

Get involved now

Join the NRA

Call your elected representatives and make it clear that you care about your gun rights

This crazy notion that it will be ok after gun confiscation laws become a fact is wrong

 

I've seen what your side considers common sense or sensible. I'll stick with the NRA and responsible gun owners. All you have is emotional hyperbole.

 

There would be quite a few that did though.

 

I live in a state that is deep red Republican. I don't have to worry about my politicians screwing it up. As for joining the NRA, I support them, but I've got two kids to look after and I'm poor so all my money goes to that end.

 

The reality is that O'Rourke is just one private citizen with bleak prospects of ever being nominated for the presidency by the Democratic Party who has evoked the hysteria of some folks who are emotionally-dependent upon assault weapons. They frighten themselves with fantasies of Big Blue Meanies snatching their precious shooties away from them, but that's nothing more than a mental diuretic for them.

​

Meanwhile, in the real world, the vast majority of Americans support sensible measures to redress the horrific consequences of firearm permissiveness, i.e., universal background checks and extreme risk protection order laws.

Given the support of the People, corporate America, public health authorities, and law enforcement, common sense will prevail over the woefully insecure.

 

Yes. I get the message that Beto is not living in a vacuum and there are people out there that actually take him seriously. It’s kind of cute.

 

You do know that Federally mandated UBG's would be shot down by SCOTUS? And no, its not because the majority is conservative. It's because the Federal government has no power when it comes to intrastate commerce. They can regulate interstate, but not intrastate.

 

There is no credible prospect of assault weapons being confiscated by government. Those who wee wee their frillies over such a fantasy would do better to engage with reality.

In the real world, it's possible that Trump might not wimp out:

 

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

Hey! your Preachin to the Choir, I don't belong to the NRA and I want to see regulations passed to make it MUCH! more difficult for Criminals to obtain Guns, but all were asking is go after the BAD! guys first, go after the Illegals trying to buy Guns FIRST! and don't support Democrats like Beto O'rourke who say they're coming to get my AR-15's and AK-47's. Democrats are just spewin a bunch of HogWash and don't care about Gun control, they just say it, because it polls good with the Extreme Left. Whatever their Gun Control is, it ain't working in Cities they control like Detroit, Baltimore, St Louis, New Orleans and other Liberal Paradises where Gun related deaths happen all the time, because they refuse to go after the Criminals with extremely severe consequences if they are caught with a Gun not registered to them or illegals, because of fear that they'll be reported to ICE and deported, how the Hell crazy is that.

Pot, meet kettle.

 

Funny that conversation coming from the LW, when sensible abortion controls supported by majorities are proposed they don't give an inch.
