‘The Devil is in the DETAILS!’ Cam Edwards takes AOC and her gun-grabbing tweet apart point by point in EPIC thread

The most annoying thing about people and legislators who want to take away our right to own a firearm is that they are so uninformed about the laws already on the books. If they spent even half the amount of time reading the law as they do on writing silly tweets showing they don’t really know the law they’d spare themselves so much embarrassment.
But folks like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez live for the embarrassment, or at least that’s our assumption since she’s so GOOD at embarrassing herself.
You know, instead of training children, teachers, houses of faith, & concertgoers to prep for being shot, we could just:

-Pass Universal Background checks (!)
-Disarm domestic abusers
-Mandate safe storage
-Ban bump stocks, semiautos, & high cap mags designed to kill people

You know, it’s clear that like, AOC doesn’t really like, know anything about gun laws in this country and stuff.
Cam Edwards was more than happy to set her straight.
The studies author says it's because of a "lack of enforcement", but it's not a lack of enforcement, it's the fact that without a national firearms registry, there's no real way TO enforce it. So, do you want a national firearms registry too?

As for safe storage laws, you run into several issues. Leaving the constitutionality aside for a bit, I see two challenges here.

1st, safe storage laws are impossible to proactively enforce, unless you're calling for random home inspections of gun owners. Are you?

Many states have safe storage laws, but "safe storage" may be defined differently. As I said earlier, the devil's in the details. So how would you define "safe storage" in the federal code, and would violating the law be a misdemeanor or felony offense?

DAMN.
If AOC spends any time at all reading this she will absolutely understand why no one is taking her seriously on gun laws. But we all know she’ll either ignore it or pretend that it’s somehow sexist or racist of Cam to set her straight.
She’s nothing if not predictable.
You know, instead of infringing on the inherent rights of law abiding citizens, Congress could really get to work on cutting spending, reducing the deficit, and reducing gov’t intrusion into our lives.

Better yet, we should just make murder illegal.
Oh, wait.
It's nice you can repeat all the anti second amendment talking points. But maybe first you should know something about firearms. And you should reread the Constitution.

Unless there is a firearm registry UBC are useless and have the same if not worst issues then NICS. (Registry is also illegal)
Domestic abusers are already prohibited possessors.
Mandated safe storage is unconstitutional (See Heller)

Oh, about that.
That too.
Or arm teachers that want to be armed. Simple solution that doesn’t require any new laws.

Of course that not a single one of these measures would have actually prevented a single mass shooting.

But she has an agenda to push, dangit!
Hey, AOC, you are pretty popular right now, but you really are sucking all the oxygen out of the room. Dems are campaigning for 2020 to save our democracy. Do You think you could do us all a favor and step back for a little while. This is not about you. Take a back seat please.

Hey, they said please.
How is safe storage going to help me to defend my family?? Explain that to me when you have a security team looking out for your safety all the time now ???

The 2A does not allow the gov to place restrictions. In fact it prevents it. Nowhere in the 2A, or after "the right to keep and bear arms", or "shall not be infringed" does the word except appear.

I want to support you because of your social policies, but you are being so intellectually dishonest and divisive acting like Trump on this issue. As a supporter of the SRA and progressive policies I will not comply if you were to push these things through with nuance.

Even her own ‘side’ is asking her to chill out.
“Mandate safe storage”. Someone hasn’t read Heller. Go read it. I’ll wait.

Semi autos are literally 90% of weapons, including most all handguns. Read a book.
See Cole's other Tweets
Or you know, just read the Constitution.

That works too.

  1. Rather they have lots of guns or not the citizens have no chance against Rothschild's Government if a civil war did break out.
    The worst things citizens can do is expect their children in the Military and Police will show them some mercy,
    Will not happen, the Government has everyone thinking AI but the real threat is our own children, in uniforms.
    Until the soldiers and the police really do turn their swords into plowshares, wars and murder will continue and only get worse. Have citizens learned nothing from the last thousand or so years? Turning your own against you is just a matter of dollars and cents, no sense, at all.
    The future depends on the Uniforms making decisions to not kill people anymore and that is going to be a big jump from where they are now, which is, kill, kill, kill.

  2. Yes, they will win just like they won in Afghanistan. Oh, wait...

  3. Using Afghanistan for a reference unless you are thinking drugs and more drugs, is nonsensical. Afghanistan, would be a barren desert, where the dogs feed off the dead population, and, nothing can grow there, except, the drugs produced there keep the Politicians and the Banker King in the dough.
    The destructive capacity of the District of Columbia is such that no nation or nations on Earth can stand against it today, no matter if every citizen had a hundred guns, or not.
    The gang in the District of Columbia are not the Russians, they have no compassion or empathy, for any other living thing, except, they love themselves and their children only, Except, they love themselves so much they will see all the living Earth smoldering and dead, before they will give up one penny of what they have stolen from the world.
    The Taliban, now in there with them, so the drugs should get cheaper, hey, there is more than one way to skin a cat, to cull the herd, to kill the humans off.

  4. If I had taken out a contract with the swamp-dwellers to disarm and cull the US population even in 1990, today I'd be rich, having won the lawsuit for non-performance under contract. Further, killing off one's tax-base is counter-productive, if it's all about the Benjamins. You can't tax the income of dead people. You can't sell heroin (or vicodin, etc) to them either. Corpses are also notoriously hard to conscript into a protracted battle against the remaining survivors.

    The point about Afghanistan is that no country has managed to completely subjugate the place, and it's incredibly low-tech. The best weapons the "enemy" has in a strategically usable quantity are RPGs and mortars. There are bigger weapons, but hard to wield without being destroyed. Most of the fighters have rifles.
    We have drones, A-10s, B2s, etc. The Russians had plenty of hardware, and were actually trying to win.

    Do you really expect people to believe that fighters (not just Taliban) over there are not giving 100% against the US, that they're simply pretending to fight?
    Growing black-budget opium there would be so much less expensive without the need to pretend to fight, wouldn't it?

    We can pretend to be fighting someone like ISIS, as we have been doing for years, to keep the military-industrial-complex going.

  5. The part about taxes, did you think that over? Most of the people in this land do not pay taxes, they earn taxes and take taxes, for themselves, the poor which most are don't pay taxes and the rich don't pay taxes, the income the Elite gets comes from drugs, military conquest, debt.
    This debtors economy is nothing but drugs, stealing from the victims of wars what little they had, the whole sorry mess about the Banker King ending up in control of everything through debt. Debt from the destruction, debt from the rebuilding, all the while the corporations selling crap that is destructive to the environment, the whole mess must end up with a culling, to sort things out.
    Actually, killing off four fifths of the populations will make the Banker God a lot of money, he won't have to support them anymore and the politicians he wants running things will be shoe-ins everytime. Debt is not the same as gold bars stacked in a vault.
    Fighters, over there are paid to raise a ruckus, there is no other way to make a living there, now, it is that way on purpose. War is both sides paid to do it, it is not about bettering the peoples lives, or, making the nation stronger, it is about the filthy rich getting richer and the citizens in uniforms killing as many of their own kind of people, as possible. Their own kind of people, that'd be the near poor and poor, of course, ie, the citizens.
    I am finished here, thanks.

  6. Why are you wasting your time preaching to (and arguing with) the choir?

    You write: "This debtors economy is nothing but drugs, stealing from the victims of wars what little they had, the whole sorry mess about the Banker King ending up in control of everything through debt."

    Again, killing the folks who facilitate making you money (via interest on debt) doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Killing someone who is working to repay a debt to you, at interest, is counter-productive. Everything they own won't repay their debt in the majority of cases, so robbing them and killing them also doesn't work.

    EDIT: Pew research estimates that 80% of Americans are in debt.
    Killing those people is nonsensical. You'd have to write off their debts.

    Keeping them working to repay you (at interest) is useful (for The Banker).

    Now, killing people with positive net-worth, who are in the black, and taking their money, property, shares, etc, would result in you having their money, assuming you could get away with it by some sort of "legal" justification.

  7. The Banker King long ago had achieved all the wealth he could ever desire, since then it has been chaos.
    Killing the citizens, is the idea, chemtrails, vaccines, 5G, EMFs, fluoride in the water, aspartame, on and on the indictment can go, poison in the water, poison in th food, poison in the air, a leading cause of death, the medical industry, but then you know all this.
    You are an anti socialism troll, probably paid, maybe, probably a chosen fellow, an elf for your Santa, but, you nor anyone can defeat the truth and I know the truth.
    I am too busy to spend a lot of time on this one thread. If the people reading this have any sense at all they can make their own decisions about whatever. Before you pound your chest know, I know, most of the people here are trolls. So I won't waste any more time, here.

  8. You keep saying goodbye but never leave. Not that I want you to leave.
    Perhaps while you're not leaving, you could explain how someone who is agreeing with you is a troll? That's a new one on me. If you think I'm anti-socialism, why do I happily live in a country with high tax, a strong welfare-state and free healthcare? Why do I work for the government in this country?

    It's also pretty amazing that you could imagine you know so much about me so quickly.

    I'm not trying to defeat the truth, nor waste your incredibly valuable time commenting someplace that may not get you paid.

    But just one question; How do we know it isn't YOU who are trolling? What would be an empirical measurement to verify your assertions?
