For a long time now, the gun grabbers (who often refuse to give up their own firearms and/or armed security) have used the phrase “gun control.” They’ve worked in the gun safety here and there, but, it looks like they could be making a concerted effort to rebrand, much in the way they changed global warming to climate change. For instance, here’s rising Democratic party star Kamala Harris, who at one point would have been part of the extremist wing, but, really, now, the extremists run the party
The tragedy in Sutherland Springs happened a little over a week ago. Don’t let this fade into the next news cycle. We need gun safety reforms. Now.

What are those gun safety reforms? Who knows, she doesn’t say, but, it would be a pretty good bet to think that they are the same ones the Dems want to pass to take the guns from the hands of law abiding citizens, rather than going after criminals (who tend to vote Democrat due to the Dems weak on crime policies).
An overwhelming majority of Americans support gun safety policies like background checks for all gun sales; it's just common sense. https://t.co/FPJ9gUmizn

Everytown is all about instituting massive gun restrictions on law abiding citizens. They do not talk much about going after criminals.
They are using the hashtag #GunSafety all over Twitter. Crazy Ted Lieu (D-Ca) tweeted back to Sarah Palin about gun safety.
Kamala also dropped one which reads
On the topic of reasonable gun safety laws, the false choice that is being proffered everywhere is the choice that suggests you’re either in favor of the Second Amendment or you want to take everyone’s guns away. That’s a false choice and we have to reject it.
They can reject it all they want, because their policy recommendations are about taking guns away.
I see, among others, CNN, Senator Bob Menendez (good grief), Bill DeBlasio, Dianne Feinstein, Gabby Giffords, and so many other blue check marks, including so-called journalists, pushing for “gun safety”.
Let's put aside ideology and reframe “gun control” as “gun safety,” adopting public health model for guns. 2/10
— Nicholas Kristof (@NickKristof) November 7, 2017
A lot of this seems to stem back to a push by Everytown to reframe, just like Kristof recommends from the 7th. There’s lots of anecdotal evidence that this became a big push starting November 7th. The end result is the same: gun grabbing.
That was Sarah Brady’s refrain throughout the ’80s and ’90s. Everything old and busted is teh new hawtness again.
They gave us the term “assault weapon” as well to conflate common semi-auto weapons and NFA weapons. To this day, when I hear : common sense laws, or assault weapon, I know that I’m dealing with an idiot, quisling, or a would be mass murderer.
Sen. Bob Menendez has been “grabbing” something but it ain’t guns.
Modern sporting rifle, LOL.

The ar-15 is the most used rifle in shooting sports, you can’t go to a 3gun or practical rifle and many other shooting competition without a majority of competitors using them. Moreover, you can use it to varmint hunt in .223, .17, .243WSSM, you can deer hunt with it in .25 WSSM, .30 OSSM, you can get an upper in any pistol caliber you can imagine as well as any non-magnum <.57mm OAL rifle cartridge. In ar-10/ar-.308 any <.71mm non-magnum cartridge is possible so: .308win, .338fed, .260rem,.243,6.5creed, 6ppc, etc etc etc- all fine calibers for hunting and competition. There are now multiple vendors that make a much larger form factor ar in magnums such as .270win, 30-06spr, .300wm, 7mm rem, etc so you can take the largest game in North America. My kids deer hunt with ar's with .25WSSM uppers, I use an ar.308 in .308win. The average low end ar will shoot 1 moa right out of the box which means it is more accurate than a stock non-freefloated barrel bolt gun from most manufacturers. So yeah, modern sporting rifle.
Why do modern mass shooters prefer modern sporting rifles for all their murdering needs?
How do you propose rounding up the millions of like weapons , logistically speaking? And yes, we do understand that your like minded politicians understand that it would mean murdering hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions. Are you that eager to murder a couple million citizens in cold blood? Racist, blood thirsty, and obnoxious – you’re a triple threat, buddy.
Hillbilly,
Once again, we don’t advocate rounding up millions of weapons, although we think America would be much safer with fewer guns. That said, nothing will change in the US regarding firearms except the continued increase. We will continue our harvest of dead kids and we just need to get used to it. There was another mass shooting today.
Why do modern idiot trolls keep pushing the same failed “solutions” nobody wants?
The Democrats want to take away the weapons of law abiding people, because they don’t want to actually address crime. To go after criminals is to go after their own constituency.
+1
Well Jeffey, as there are perhaps 30 million “assault weapons” in the US and are involved in less than 2% of gun crimes, I think maybe just barely south of 100% of those weapons are defective as they don’t seem to do what you(pl.) say they do.
Well BillHillary,
Modern sporting rifles kill about 98% of the those killed by mass murderers.
AR-15: The Rifle for the Discerning Child Killer
But why are you (sing.) still arguing? Does the truth upset you (sing.)?
Listen carefully: Your (sing.) modern sporting rifle is safe. No one will take it from you (sing.). Our government won’t even regulate “bump stocks” that effectively turn a semi-auto AR-15 into an auto.
You side, blood dancers all, have decided that 3 shot at one time is a mass shooting. As you no doubt know, we have one of those every 10 days or so in the Loo (once every 2 days in Chicago). So either enforce the 20,000 or so gun laws on the books or come to my house and murder me along with millions of other citizens. Whatever you do, quit lying so much you bloodthirsty racist, it’s tiresome.
We see you lose your temper when challenged. How nice that you have a modern sporting rifle for those “angry times”.
Ask your own GOP controlled governments to enforce the laws.
Your modern sporting rifle will not be taken from you, except perhaps by a burglar. The government will leave you alone, so relax.
TEACH typed:
1) Do you really think professional climate scientists are the ones advocating gun controls?
2) Did you know that the IPCC formed in 1988? Further, do you know what the CC in IPCC stands for? Yep, Climate Change. So it was always climate change AND global warming.
3) Is every little thing a Con Man “knows” actually a falsehood?
