Cross Post - The VPC said so, so it must be true

In response to the Senate votes ...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/126210913

Direct from the "terrorist training manual" "on good authority" ...

“In some countries of the World, especially the USA, firearms training is available to the general public,” and that “it is perfectly legal” to obtain weapons such as AK-47 assault rifles." Wonder what that looks like in Arabic, Urdu or Farsi?

This is gonna be a big surprise to the state troopers that always man the NICS check station at all our gun shows. And everybody knows the VPC would never make this stuff up.

Oh, and just another reminder in case you missed it, we are all on "the losing end of this fight", "The tide has turned", et. al.

He got into a fight with one of the moderators and self deleted several months worth of e-mails back during the 1st quarter of 2015.

is that why our activism group posted absolutely nothing about the vote on gun control proposals until after they happened? No list of them, discussion, calls to contact your representatives... nada.

Apparently the tipping point is so far past that activists don't need to be active

You can easily tell "the tide has turned" by the high volume of gun control/activism posts.

Like the Kellermann study, at least I think was him. The study concluded something like 'a lot of people who get shot die' and 'only a small percentage of those shot were instances of defensive gun use so DGUs are really rare'.
