Hey Matt Damon - we can't control our own borders and the movement of illegal aliens or the movement and possession of illegal drugs and you propose we round up all of our legal firearms? Leaving only law abiding folks defenseless? Good luck with that.

FBI: June Is 14th Consecutive Month of Record Background Checks
Breitbart
by AWR HAWKINS5 Jul 2016

New FBI figures show June 2016 is the 14th consecutive month of record background checks for gun sales.

The previous FBI record for June — set in June 2o15 — was 1,529,057. The number of background checks in June 2016 was 2,131,485.

According to the FBI figures, this means June 2016 saw more background checks than any June since background checks began in 1998. Breitbart News previously reported that the record-breaking streak began in May 2015, only to have May 2016 exceed the number of background checks performed a year earlier.

On June 27, Breitbart News used FBI figures to show that the number of background checks conducted during the Obama presidency is so high that it averages out to nearly 52,000 a day. That means, an average of 52,000 citizens a day go to a retail store to buy a gun, two guns, or even more.

If Damon truly believed his rhetoric...he wouldn't allow himself to profit from activities portraying the use of such evil instruments. He is yet another hypocritical talking head in Hollywood that feels his opinion matters.

If he wants to get some attention...then turn down movies that involve the use of weapons. Then...I will say he is a man that truly stands on his principles.

I would sincerely like to see Hollywood put their cockholsters in the same location as their spotlighting fucking social activism...

I want to see empty souls like Matt Damon, Sylvester Stallone, Mark Walhberg, Liam Neeson, Danny Glover, and George Clooney commit to never again appear in, direct, produce, support, or in any way enable a film that glorifies firearms in any way.

I also challenge hypocrites to give up armed protection services; people like Rosie O'Donald, Michael Moore, and all of the other hollyweird hypocrites that don't mind having armed guards protecting them and their parties and awards ceremonies, but don't seem to think "normal" aMEricans should have access to that same kind of personal protection.
...give up your guns fatty
...you too Rosie

I also challenge them to surrender any and all monies collected through profiteering on the shoulders of gun violence.
I'm sure all of the money that Sly made on the Rambo franchise could be put to good use making our communities safer.

But it wont happen...
...because all animals are equal but some are more equal than others.

Ahhhh...Ol' Sean....who, so he claims, gave up all his guns for pussy.

I could have a "tool box" to be proud of from all the hypocritical tools in Hollyweird when it comes to their hypocritical views on guns.

The A list grows by the day!

Some compelling statistics - received this from the NSSF - the numbers are at the link below.

NSSF Infographic: Gun Sales Up, Crime Rates Down

July 6, 2016 By nssfnews
With gun control advocates in Congress continuing to beat the drum on restricting Americans’ Second Amendment rights, it’s important to remember the facts are on our side.

As NSSF’s new infographic shows, violent crime continues its downward trend, even as the firearms market sees more and more growth over the past two decades. Fortunately we also see the number of firearm accidents dropping year after year.

Looking at the infographic below, one thing is clear; punishing the law-abiding firearms owners in the U.S. and the federally-regulated firearms and ammunition industry for the criminal acts of terrorists and madmen cannot be justified by data. These pictures are worth a 1,000 words.

Well, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has given its final verdict on concealed carry and in what shouldn’t have come as a surprise to anyone, the en banc panel of the
9th Circuit Court of Appeals held that there is absolutely no right to carry a weapon concealed in public under the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution.


Given that all of the plaintiffs had argued that states can ban concealed carry, no one should be complaining that the 9th Circuit took them at their word. If you didn’t like the decision then blame: The National Rifle Association,

The California Rifle and Pistol Association, The Second Amendment Foundation, The CalGuns Foundation and every other so called gun-rights groups which filed an
Amicus brief in support of their lawsuits. By the way, the plaintiffs in these two cases also claimed that Open Carry can be banned. Be grateful that the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals did not agree with them on that point as well.

Badger52 07-14-2016 18:17

I sense (from some other identical postings on the internet that the author has another specific open-carry axe to grind, in/pending litigation - but it happens too often that someone takes a position that "you damn CC people are screwing with my OC rights." I think you should do both but my opinion doesn't matter. Kommifornia is so f'd up that - as states used to fight for shall-issue permit laws - CA is like little county fiefdoms in a country all their own, fighting their county sheriffs.

Given the actual narrow scope (San Diego County) of the plaintiff's attempt to chip away at the commie glacier that is CA law I don't necessarily share the author's view that all those who filed amicus briefs on behalf of the plaintiffs are to blame. There are at least a couple of other more relevant core issues:

It's Kalifornia. (c'mon YGBSM) :rolleyes:
It's the 9th Circuit. (same)

That's OK. Soon, very soon because of the democrats and the flood of muzzies they are allowing into this country unchecked, what happened in France today will become routine here in "America".

islamic bombs go off weekly in middle eastern countries and they are headed this way by the hundreds of thousands. Difference here and France, we "still" live in a free society, we can still purchase guns, ammo, explosives (black power, smokeless powder, etc) relatively easy.

The muzzies already tried a islamic terrorist attack in Texas, didn't go well. They were armed and waiting. Muzzies will learn who's armed and who's not real fast.

The attack in NYC was just a islamic terrorist test, expect more soon. Intel is not going to stop islamic terrorist attacks.

Box 07-15-2016 08:03

wait until HRC invites another half million immigrants into the USA and lists the NRA as a terrorist organization...

of course non of this will interfere with our women in SOF programs or full integrating of trannies into military service


interesting times for sure

Massachusetts to Enforce Longstanding Assault Weapons Ban
 
Looks like Massachusetts is trying to one up Kalifornia. On the bright side, think of how many reporters will never have to suffer from a "temporary form of PTSD"created after firing one of these scary black guns.

SMFH

Quote:

Weapons like the AR-15 are the gun of choice for mass shooters, Healey said, used in shootings in Orlando, Baton Rouge, Dallas, Sandy Hook and San Bernardino. After the shooting that killed 49 people in a nightclub in Orlando, sales of those types of weapons went up 450 percent in Massachusetts, Healey said.

People who already own the guns can keep them, she said. And gun dealers will be allowed to transfer their remaining stock to states where the guns are legal.

In a press conference announcing the new enforcement, Healey and others also faulted the federal government for not doing more to crack down on these types of weapons. Only seven states have an assault weapons ban like the one in Massachusetts.

It's hard to believe Massachusetts was the cradle of the American Revolution with their irrational fear of law abiding gun owners. There are still good folks up there but it seems the blood and sacrifice has been forgotten...what was it the British were coming for on that fateful day in Concord...?
