    Default "Illegal Guns"

    So, I made the mistake of turning the TV news on this morning. One of the stories was about Biden's push to crack down on "illegal guns". A flunky from his administration told the anchor several times about getting illegal guns off the street.

    Now, never once did the "journalist" ask for a definition of an illegal gun. To me, an illegal gun is a firearm that is not legal to own. That would mean new machine guns, sawed-off shotguns, and other weapons that are specifically prohibited. But I don't think these are the weapons that Biden is pursuing.

    If he were to be more precise, does he mean people who are not allowed to legally own firearms, who have stolen them, or who have bought them illegally from the black market. If so, there are already numerous laws on the books. Or does the phrase "illegal guns" just resonate with liberal focus groups who know next to nothing about firearms and gun laws?

    No mistake about it ,the media is all about phrases and sound bites . To the uneducated " Gun show loophole " , " illegal guns ", all make it sound like we legal gun owners are part of the problem . ............. The Karens buy into it, hook, line an sinker

    So, in his warped mind, if a criminal steals my gun, my gun is now illegal?

    I’ve walked a many road in my life, never once finding a gun on the street, legal or otherwise

    Saturday Night Specials, Cop Killer Bullets, Assault Weapons, this is what the left does. They’ve been doing it with guns since I can remember. Hell, it’s probably what they did to gin up support to get the NFA passed.

    They vilify anyone or anything that stands in their way of absolute power The fact that guns are inanimate objects doesn’t even enter the equation.

    And you're held responsible because if you didn't have it , he wouldn't have stolen it!

    That is exactly the mindset. Legally absurd, yet commonplace.

    Here's a recent article from the Philly Inquirer liberal rag regarding the illegal sale of a ghost gun. But notice how the headline reads. All part of their game. Oh yeah, in case you were wondering, it's the usual suspects.

    Two men charged with murder in Ardmore over a botched sale of an illegal gun

    Walking my dog a few years ago I found this in the street. I seriously considered calling the cops,
    this is when it was around that time a kid got in trouble with a pop tart gun.
