That should teach me to copy and paste from a Facebook post.. :wall:

I did a quick search and it appears that the second sentence is a witty fictional addition someone made. Thanks for catching that!

Dangit, that would have been an amazing quote. Make sure you throw some hate to whoever threw that bait out there.

You know another one I wish was true? The commander of the Japanese forces saying, "You can't invade America, there would be a rifle behind every blade of grass." I guess it turns out that there isn't anything solid historically that proves he said it.

That's why when I see these on Facebook...I google that shit. The Samuel L Jackson one though...straight TRUF, interview with the LA Times.

My favorite so far is Jesse Jackson saying an assault rifle can shoot down an airplane Lmfao!
Here's two sources but if you google it there are a plethora of others to verify. What kills me is people will believe this crap.

Well, depending on the "assault weapon" and the kind of airplane, he might be correct! "Assault weapon" is so broad now it could be anything from a DshK to a Barrett .50 to my Ruger 10/22 (which you couldn't really shoot anything down with... ever...). Of course, you'd have to hit a plane with it first...

 

[Casimir]

He was specifically talking about aurora at the time, so the ar15. Read the article, his quote and the context are priceless

 

[Totentanz]

Well Charles Moffett could drop a helo using a Nagant revolver, so clearly an AR is well capable of bringing down a 747...

A case study in gun phobia: Anyone ever seen these "big guns" that "run around out here" of their own accord?
http://cnsnews.com/node/625231

“We cannot have big guns out here as far as the big guns that are out here, the semi-automatics and all of them,” Rep. Dan Muhlbauer (D-Manilla) told theCarroll (Iowa) Daily Times-Herald. “We can’t have those running around out here. Those are not hunting weapons. We should ban those in Iowa.”

Staff writer Douglas Burns reported that Muhlbauer supports a statewide ban and a voluntary buy-back plan, “but he would go further if needed” -- and that “the state of Iowa should take semi-automatic weapons away from Iowans who have legally purchased them prior to any ban that is enacted if they don’t give their weapons up in a buy-back program.”

“Even if you have them, I think we need to start taking them,” Muhlbauer was quoted as saying. “We can’t have those out there. Because if they’re out there they’re just going to get circulated around to the wrong people. Those guns should not be in the public’s hands. There are just too many guns.”

Obviously your not taking an airliner down in mid flight with any type of assault weapon. Taking off or landing that is a whole different argument if you have a skilled shooter or shooters.

 

[AWP]

You could crash an airliner with a well-timed release of pigeons but no one's trying to outlaw them.

The whole "assault rifle vs. airliner" argument is stupid. There are several ways to bring one down without resorting to firearms.

 

[Marauder06]

Good thing for them that those hijackers on 9/11 had all of those assault rifles on board! God knows what they would have had to resort to in order to bring down those airliners.

If you expect to get a reaction out of Feinstein you have to write something that they can use to portray gun rights advocates as crazy anti-women extremists, like when that former Marine sent her his rant.

This!!!

If they cant use your words against you and our cause and you didnt leave any loopholes for her to manipulate then chances are you wont hear from her.

I am in the process of writing mine as we speak (just cant get it worded the way I like it) and will let you all know when I hear back. He has been more than responsive in the past.

 

[Chopstick]

I hope this isnt a repost. This gentleman really touched me with his speech. He is a Tian'anmen Square "veteran" if you will. If anyone knows the value of the 2nd Amendment, I think he does.

 

[Marauder06]

lol- that sign says "I wish I had a gun" and it shows a gun standing in front of a column of tanks. I think I'd be wishing for either a couple of Molotov cocktails or a change of drawers. All a gun is going to do in that particular situation is get you killed.

Chopstick, great video.

His speech is spot on.

 

[surgicalcric]

Great video indeed.

 

[Casimir]

Gave me the chills.

 

[Marauder06]

That was a good speech.
