"It doesnt affect me"

Per Sleepy Joe, a 22 will stay lodged in a lung. A 9mm will blow a lung out. We need to ban high power rounds.


So many have been saying for decades gun control doesnt stop when an inch is given. Now 9mm is a "high power" round. Sure sounds like only 22LR is what they want to allow.

Canada wants to band handguns (grandfather clause). All those who turned in their "assault rifles" now may lose their ability to buy handguns next. And 5rd mags max. Give in to 10, lower and lower they will go. 3rds later, then 2rds.
 
How long b4 CA or NY try this.

"It doesnt affect me"


This is why any more gun laws are an infringement to the 2a that unfortunatlly many gun owners dont understand.

I fought the bump stock bill, even though i never owned one.

I fought the p80 bill, even though im not crafty enough to build 1.

We all need to do our part.

Back in the 1970s, there was a gun control push to ban semi-automatic handguns.  At the time, most LE were issued revolvers.  Only "gangsters" used semi-auto handguns.

Then came the ban on Saturday Night Specials.  Most of those were .22 - .25 caliber.  Once the supply of those dried up, people started buying semi-auto 9mm instead.  Also, to keep up with the technology being employed by criminals, LE started issuing .45 and 9mm semi-autos.  This is when the anti-gunners understood there's no wy they are going to get LE and the public to support a semi-auto handgun ban.  The Brady Campaign was the biggest supporter of these bans.

As time went on, Brady decided to shift focus to "assault weapons."

Sat Night Special, 9mm semi, Ar-15 .... each agenda change targets the weapons owned by the most citizens so that, if/when banned, it takes the largest number of guns off the "street".

Of course, it's a matter of logical probability that the most-owned guns in the US would be the one used in a relatively higher proportion of gun crimes.  That's the thing they use against us.  Most mass shooters use AAR-15s, so if we eliminate AR-15s, we'd see fewer mass shootings and fewer deaths in the shootings that do happen.

Never mind that the VA Tech mass shooting was instigated with a 9mm Glock and .22LR Walther, and that event held the record for highest body count until the Mandalay Bay shooting.

The public should be allowed to own the most effective self-defense weapons available.  Canada's leader stated, guns are about hunting and target practice.  Maybe that's what HE believes, but it's far from reality.  I wonder how many armed guards he has protecting him when out in public?

Brady: United Against Gun Violence (formerly “Handgun Control, Inc”., the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence
and the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence) is an American nonprofit organization that advocates for gun control
and against gun violence. It is named after James "Jim" Brady, who was permanently disabled as a result of the Ronald
Reagan assassination attempt of 1981, and his wife Sarah Brady, who was a chairwoman of the organization from 1989
until her death in 2015.[2][3]

Brady was founded in 1974 as the National Council to Control Handguns (NCCH). From 1980 through 2000, it operated
under the name Handgun Control, Inc. (HCI). In 2001, it was renamed the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence,
and its sister project, the Center to Prevent Handgun Violence, was renamed the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence.
The nonprofits rebranded as Brady in February 2019, on the 25th anniversary of the implementation of the Brady Bill.[4]
Quote
In 1974, the National Council to Control Handguns (NCCH) was founded by armed-robbery victim Mark Borinsky.
In 1975, Republican marketing manager Pete Shields, whose 23-year-old son had been murdered, joined NCCH
as Chairman. In 1980, the organization became Handgun Control, Inc. (HCI) and partnered with the National Coalition
to Ban Handguns (NCBH). The partnership did not last long; the NCBH, renamed in 1990 as the Coalition to Stop Gun
Violence (CSGV), generally advocates for stricter gun laws than does the Brady Campaign.[5]: 111–112 [6]

HCI had few resources until 1980, after the murder of musician John Lennon increased the public's interest in shootings.
By 1981, HCI's membership exceeded 100,000. In 1983, the Center to Prevent Handgun Violence (CPHV) was founded
as an educational outreach organization and sister project. In 1989, CPHV established the Legal Action Project to press
its agenda in the courts.[5][6]

In 2001, Handgun Control, Inc. was renamed the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, and the Center to Prevent
Handgun Violence was renamed the Brady Center to Prevent Handgun Violence
, in honor of both Jim and Sarah Brady.
The same year, the Million Mom March (MMM) was incorporated into the Brady Campaign.[5][6][7]

I remember a gun control PSA that lasted an hour on one of the news channels that scared the crap out of me!  These handguns that criminals were using spit out 10, 15, 20 rounds without a reload, and could be reloaded with magazines in a few seconds.  Compared to what Cops carried at the time, those criminals were carrying far more firepower than law enforcement could overcome.  They even showed "anecdotal evidence" of why guns in the home are bad: a wife kills her husband by shooting through the backdoor thinking it's a burglar, or a kid shoots his best friend playing with daddy's gun in the nightstand.  I was in grade school, but even so, I'd been shooting a few times and didn't get why those people being idiots should keep me from having guns!

We had two pistols in the house:  a Raven Arms .25 and a 9mm of some kind (too young to know the brands, but likely a Browning).  I remember we'd take the gun out and leave it on the piano in the living room whenever my deadbeat dad got drunk and called up threatening this or that.  That's what I remember about guns -- they protect you from other people.  They are also very dangerous, so the kids in the house knew better than to touch them without permission.

Anyway, public opinion is what caused the Handgun Control focus to shift, as it has several times.  Whichever gun type is scariest gets top billing.

If you notice, the killing of John Lennon in 1980 sparked interest in handgun control.

The gun used by Chapman was a Charter Arms Undercover .38 Special revolver.

Funny how the narrative shifted to semi-autos, and ignored the facts of the case.
