Sen. Jeanne Shaheen(D) People Getting The AR-15 Are "Buying It To Do Bad Things"
2016-06-21
Democratic New Hampshire Sen. Jeanne Shaheen said certain types of firearms like the AR-15 are the kind of guns that should be banned. She added that people trying to purchase the weapon ‐ which is popular among American gun owners ‐ are "buying it do bad things."
My AR-15 is hurt. It has never done a bad thing and feels left out now...
"Well, I think people need to have their voices heard, and what I've heard from people in New Hampshire is they think there's reasonable legislation that we can pass including things like looking at the types of weapons that so easy for people to get," the New Hampshire Democrat said on Mitchell in the Morning on Monday.
Considering the hoops you have to go through to buy one, I guess this cock splash has never tried to buy it.
"The fact is, the AR-15, the gun that (Omar) Mateen used, that's a weapon of war; it's advertised as being able do technologically advances in killing people that previous weapons have been unable to do and somebody who is buying that kind of a weapon isn't buying it for target shooting," she said. "They're not buying it to go out and hunt deer. You don't need an AK-47 or an AR-15 to hunt deer. They're buying it to do bad things and we need to recognize that and address it."
My .270, which is used for deer was modeled after the Mauser 7mm rifle which WAS a weapon of war. So is it only being used for "Bad Things" too? Also remember that the AR-15 is a very popular varmint and coyote rifle as well.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation says there are anywhere between 5 million to 10 million AR-15 rifles in the United States, according to CNBC. The gun used in the Olrando shooting was not an AR-15, but a Sig Sauer MCX rifle, a similar appearing rifle.
Ooooo... scary looking like the AR! BAN IT!!!

They will keep beating this drum until we are completely disarmed.

#10  As soulless vermin, she will never understand that. And that is the greatest tragedy of America, that our citizens have not been taught the truth about life, liberty and what made America the greatest nation on Earth.

Well, some of them have been taught, and the notion scares them senseless. They'd rather be told what to do, and taken care of than be free.

#9  NH natives use AR-15s to chase off Massholes who are invading the state to avoid taxes but still vote for schifozas like Shaheen.

I saw a study a while back that indicated that wasn't just the Masshole effect - they pointed to other states like New York, New Jersey & Pennsylvania as contributing to this problem (and being a NH native back when it was a red state, I'm calling it a problem).

#8  Yes, we buy it to do bad things. We buy it to not be a slave. We buy it to be responsible citizens of our Republic, not the feral Mob the Democrats lead. We buy it to safeguard our families and their futures, at the potential cost of our own. Even knowing that cost, we still buy it, learn it, practice with it and enhance the skills we hopefully never need.

As soulless vermin, she will never understand that. And that is the greatest tragedy of America, that our citizens have not been taught the truth about life, liberty and what made America the greatest nation on Earth.

#7  To ban us from doing Bad Things
Has long been a hobby of kings.
Bad People resist them
And foul up the system
By clinging to shooting at rings.

They're targeting rifles because gang-bangers prefer handguns.

#4  Feel free Raj. I think it is open source as most of the US military uses it.

#3  I may have told this anecdote already, but it bears repeating. My cousin met Shaheen when she was governor of New Hampshire about fifteen years ago. His description of her - 'She's as dumb as a box of rocks.'

'Cock splash' - mind if I steal that one, Darth?

#2  Renamed my AR. Now it's a "PBRX Type Y." Can I keep it now?

#1  You think the AR is scary, you should take a look at my FN FAL. It is a battle rifle. It kills targets with a 308. But not people.
