The irony here is that the NRA is responsible for making sure thugs and terrorists are well armed, which is probably why the thug has a knife rather than an AR-15 clone.
Although, NRA policies have made sure that the weapons you believe will protect you are firmly in this thug's hands.
He doesn't need a knife--he has your gun.
Why else do they fight the laws that they not only once supported, but even proposed?

ReplyDeleteOf course, where the ISIS folks have been operating, they have no need of AR clones, they likely have some real live M-16/M-4 government issue straight from whichever supplies them, or perhaps from the weapons left by our government in Iraq.
Or, the regular issue AK pattern rifle. And of course the heavier stuff. They have no need to lurk on Facebook of go to one of those evil gun shows because they get stuff in large lots.
"Many of the weapons used by the Islamic militants known as ISIS were simply captured from its enemies in Syria and Iraq. But ISIS also has foreign backers — some of whom are "friends" of the US."
"There’s a number of sources,” says David Axe, a freelance war reporter who knows a lot about weaponry. “ISIS, like all Syrian opposition groups,” he says, “enjoys a strong level of support from Turkey, from Qatar, from Saudi Arabia."
The reason, says Axe, has to do with common interests. "What ISIS wants, to some extent, overlaps with what certain powerful people in some of these Gulf states want, which is, for lack of a better word, a 'Sunni-stan' — a homogenous Sunni Muslim state in what is now Syria and Iraq.” Turkey, he adds, wants to see Syria's president out of power."

This part is especially interesting considering how you like to trot out the videos of the big guns to counter the concept of militias,
"And it's not the big weaponry that ISIS wants, he says. “ISIS is a classic militia group, in the sense that it has favored light, easy-to-support, mobile and easy-to-hide weaponry over the heavier stuff you might find in a government force.”
Pooch, the scared little puppy.

ReplyDeleteSo true, and a good question, which the gun loons have no answer for.
