Fred has been pushing an awful lot of lies lately. I’ve challenged several of them and gotten no response.I consider your post to be in direct contravention of the clearly stated rules of this august forum.
Trump scare tactics.

A handgun? No. A shotgun? No. In discussions over the past few years on this forum, those are the weapons used by members of this forum that they have said they own and use to protect their homes. They are not assault weapons.
Beto is also on record for wanting to raise the age limit, currently at age 18, for legally purchasing weapons. Raising the age limit for legal ownership of weapons effectively disarms and denies the right of self-protection to young men and women between the age 18 and 21 who have moved out of their parent's home and who are living on their own.

Then the government refused to renew those licenses. Then the government announced that gun owners who hadn't renewed their licenses had to surrender their guns. And because they had been registered and licensed, the government knows who has them and where they are.
If and when a bill is introduced to ban assault weapons and therefore defines what they believe an assault weapon to be, then we can move on in the discussion. Right now. we have only vague assumptions that are being made. Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

Lib-retards in this country are attempting to disarm American citizens in much the same manner. These lib-retards pretend that eliminating so-called "assault weapons" in the civilian market is their only aim. First they start with the illusion that such a weapon -- a weapon that they cannot but vaguely define -- shouldn't be owned by the average citizen. The vagueness is intentional. Vagueness allows gun-grabbers to arbitrarily expand the definition on a whim. The Veritas video about McCaskill's real aims illustrates the public lie hiding the gun-grabbers ulterior intent.
Odumbo tried the same tactic by bureaucratically reclassifying ammunition without legislative action -- just like they are now doing in South Africa.
And you entirely skipped over how raising the age for purchasing guns, as proposed by Beto, et al, by college age women living alone would deny these young women the right to protect themselves as guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment. Originally Posted by I B Hankering

The NRA would like to see absolutely NO gun control at all in this country. But they realize that that is not a viable position to have so they take whatever they believe is feasible at the time. Obviously my opinion. Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

Won't happen.

Seems like Trump supports raising the age to purchase guns to 21. Guess it isn't only "libtards".
"President Trump again called for raising the minimum legal age to purchase all guns to age 21 during a meeting with lawmakers on guns and school safety Wednesday, while suggesting that those who are staying silent on the topic are "afraid" to come up against the NRA."
