Rep Massie posts gun photo

The one where all the guns are big dildos? My wife showed me that one.

I'm sure she did.

Pretty sure it’s an M60

Holy crap, $50,000 ish? That's a nice piece.

Wonder what belt fed 7.62 is going for?

That's making it rain, 2021 style.

Just want to point out, this proves we pay congress way to much.

Most relevant post of the thread.

2/3 and you get what you want. Until then tough ****.

It will be easier to just keep introducing rational and reasonable laws and letting the courts decide.
They have obviously already ruled that there can legally be rational and reasonable restrictions on guns without infringing on 2a.

These mass shootings are overhyped. Relax, it's never going to happen to you or anyone you care about. The odds are really good in your favor.

This is true, the odds are good you or anyone you know will not experience one. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to prevent them.

True, the odds are only 6,247 times greater that you or someone you know will be adversely effected by gun violence than the odds that you will need an arsenal to defend yourself against a tyrannical government.

Think the people of Australia wish they had more or fewer guns at this moment?

It's not about actively defending ourselves it's the fact they understand it's a possibility. All bets are off once that is no longer in play

It is perfectly within their rights to post this Christmas cards. IMO, it's bad timing and bad optics. I think people voting against Massie strictly based upon this photo is a valid response.

I'm guessing the thousands of people whose lives have been saved by the stricter laws are pretty happy.

LOL

Anyone not voting for him because of that photo wasn't voting for him to begin with.

Wonder what the people being put in camps think? But I guess they're still alive and not a statistic yet

I don't know much about the guy but would the people set to vote for/against him really have their needle moved by this thing?

Happy that their government is trying to protect the country?
Australia’s quarantine facilities are for travelers, not for isolating unvaccinated people

Of course I was being sarcastic but try as we may as long as hundreds of millions of guns are out there mentally or emotionally deranged people will be able to get their hands on them. I don't see where there is much we can really do about it without stepping on someones rights. These shootings are going to continue for the foreseeable future.

So it only took 25 years after being disarmed for the government to put them in camps.

Watch what their police are doing to enforce ridiculous lockdowns and mandates. That's not protection, it's tyranny. It's sad some want nothing to do with being free

The Australian government disagrees with your numbers.

No.
It only increases the divide - which was the intent.
The Bannon/Stone/Trump strategy was to make the divide as great as possible by increasing the level of distrust and dislike between the two sides.
In their mind - tear the country apart so it can be rebuilt in our image.
