Add Trump’s Suppressor Slam to Series of Let-downs for Gun Owners

You can’t appease gun-grabbers like PiersMorgan and expect gun owners to shrug it off come election time. (Good Morning Britain / Twitter)

U.S.A. – -(Ammoland.com)- “Trump telling Piers Morgan that semi-automatic guns are for entertainment is grounds for impeachment,” self-described “comedian” Chelsea Handler tweeted Wednesday. “There are thousands of parents grieving and he calls guns entertainment. I can’t wait to elect a strong leader who has the courage to stand up to the NRA. That will be a leader.”

That Handler is serious in considering the appreciation of recreational shooting to equate with “high crimes and misdemeanors” says much about her legal acumen and judgment, and that of those who agree with her. Then again, we’re dealing with a “progressive” zealot who had not one, but three abortions (two at age 16), claims she traditionally shows sex tapes of herself at birthday parties and whose personal entertainment standard apparently involves allowing a man to urinate on her (warning, this last link is gross and NSFW).

Speaking of “gross,” that’s how she says “white privilege” makes her feel. And speaking of being a “feminist” icon, she’s quick to brand a Republican woman a “whore.”

While ad hominem argument is generally considered a logical fallacy, in this case, it does speak to the reliability of Handler’s judgment, something exemplified when she said “F**k you, a**hole” to Rep. Steve Scalise, a victim of political violence shot by another hardcore Democrat.

It’s not the first time Handler has gone after lawful and peaceable recreational shooters as sharing responsibility for the violence.

“If your hobby is [affecting] innocent people being killed all the time, children included, don’t you think you should reconsider the lack of restrictions placed on your hobby?” she challenged while failing to show how one has anything to do with the other. “Nobody is trying to take away your guns.”

Of course they are.  Just because a big lie is repeated by useful idiots does not make it true. This does, however, help expose another big lie, that the gun-grabbers have nothing against “sporting purposes,” a term that was birthed in tyranny, and still advanced by latter-day gunkapos and Fudds who don’t seem to grok that once they’ve thrown everyone else under the bus, they’ll be next.

Ironically, the very person Handler is attacking on guns seems to have adopted that very position.

“Today, in an interview on Good Morning Great Britain, hosted by Piers Morgan, President Trump bragged about his work to ban bump stocks when the subject was brought up by the left-wing host,” Firearms News reported Wednesday. “The President also stated that he is considering a ban on sound suppressors, and stated that he does not like them. While Trump did make some strong statements in favor of concealed carry for self-defense, he seems to be confused about what the Second Amendment really means. When asked by Morgan about why someone needs an AR-15, Trump stated that people feel that the rifles are fun to shoot. He went even further to make a statement that hunters need guns.”

It ain’t about hunting, something the constitutional Commander in Chief of the militia should know and champion.

We’ve seen past departures from Donald Trump’s campaign pledge to NRA members:

“Your Second Amendment rights … will never, ever be under siege as long as I’m your president.”

That hardly squares with the Trumpstock ban (effectively given the green light by NRA), with his red flag “due process later” support (ditto, despite the claim to the contrary), and with several of the president’s nominees for positions of vital impact to gun owner interests, most recently the FOP functionary he wants to head ATF.

Unsurprisingly, NRA higher-ups, fighting self-inflicted wounds, have been silent on the president’s latest threat of betrayal, and unsurprisingly, an insider Nominating Committee-picked director has decided member inquiries merit insulting dismissals. That hardly appears the most productive tack for an organization desperately pleading for donations from a membership increasingly alienated by reports of expensive suits and apartments for interns, and its closed-mouth circling of wagons.

If Fairfax expects the disillusioned to reopen their wallets, a thorough, top-down housecleaning and a credibly sincere effort to earn back lost trust must be made. Likewise, President Trump — besieged on all sides by Democrats calling for impeachment and imprisonment and swamp Republicans undermining him at every turn — can hardly afford to alienate the one group he’s making increasingly difficult to stand by him, gun owners.

“How Trump can lose in 2020. Keep up the anti 2A talk,” Gun Talk Radio host Tom Gresham advised his Twitter followers Wednesday. “Gunnies won’t vote for your opponent, but they will just stay home.”

Appealing to the likes of Piers Morgan and essentially agreeing with Chelsea Handler on the purpose for owning semi-autos won’t cut it.

What most fail to understand is that some gun owners will not disarm, not for shrieking exhibitionist freak “entertainers,” and especially not for politicians who order them to “turn ‘em all in.” Understanding the seriousness of the consequences, we prefer to resolve things peaceably through the framework of elections and laws bequeathed us by the Framers. But ultimately, when those who would rule demand too much, a core will refuse to comply.

If Trump and the Republicans manage to blow what’s been given to them, that’s not going to change. If voting was all you had to do to eradicate the right to keep and bear arms, it wouldn’t be much of a deterrent to tyranny at all.

As this article was going to publish, a related development took place:

“The Supreme Court is rejecting a challenge to federal regulation of gun silencers, just days after a gunman used one in a shooting rampage that killed 12 people in Virginia … President Donald Trump’s administration asked the court to stay out of the case and leave the convictions in place.”
The “Would you rather have Hillary?” meme is wearing pretty thin, especially when you consider the kind of fundraising noise that would have been made out of Fairfax had her administration done that.

Handler uses 1A protected right to attack the rights of others because “it” obviously considers “it’s” rights to be supreme above the rights of others who are not attacking “it”.
There’s a reason why 1A is the first protected right in The Bill of Rights.

Skytrooper

The amendments composing the Bill of Rights are not numbered by order of their estimated importance. James Madison initially believed these amendments would be inserted into the text of the Constitution. He numbered these proposed amendments in the sequence he thought made the most sense for such insertion. When the amendments were finally ratified, Congress chose to add them at the end of the Constitution rather than insert them into the original text. In 1791, no one believed the Third Amendment was more important than the Fourth or Sixth Amendments. Also, the original proposed First and Second Amendments weren’t ratified… Read more »

It is my 1A that I exercise most frequently (hourly) and I would not consider it my most important right if rights actually existed but thanks for the class. I’m fairly certain schools don’t teach the Bill of Rights anymore though I hear mandatory gay education is sweeping the nation and yet parents still send their children there. Little Johnny switching to Peggy Sue = the end America as we know it. They traded rights for fag (gay misspelled backwards, lol) rainbow flags and everybody is still sitting in their chair so yeah it’s lamentable for sure.

“Your Second Amendment rights … will never, ever be under siege as long as I’m your president.” That dastardly 2nd Amendment has been the ‘MOST INFRINGED’ on RIGHT of those enumerated in that Constitution! Nibble by nibble, bit by bit, over 20,000 gun laws later, with the SCOTUS unconstitutionally “adding” a place, ‘HOME,’ as where we can exercise that “Keep and Bear Arms,” yet our beneficent government thinks further INFRINGEMENT is required?

I remember right before Trump banned bumpstocks, the forums were full of shooters saying that bumpstocks were completely useless, dangerous, and ammo wasters, who needs them..

I’m sure a lot of surpressor owners didn’t give a s##t that Trump banned bumpstocks and now they have to suck it up. My point is all gun owners must unite against ANY infringement on the 2A.

Must unite over any infringement of any constitutionally protected right not just 2A because I actually use my 1A hourly so I’m not just focused on a single right but the totality of them all. They are a package deal for a reason and all equally under attack.

I’m afraid David has a point here and it doesn’t look too good. We are really between a rock and a hard spot. We have Trump that keeps giving the 2A away but says he will defend it as long as he is president. Then on the other side we have the nothing burgers that preach about taking our guns and opening our borders. Here we are with a lesser of two evils again.

The suppressor ‘ban’ is the same kind of knee-jerk reaction as the switchblade ban in the 1950s because of public reaction to “West Side Story”. The government used that bias to impose the ban without any resistance. But now, many states that had also banned switchblades under state laws have repealed those prohibitions, realizing in a cooler state of mind that the bans were ridiculous. I don’t see much public outcry in defense of the availability of suppressors, and I don’t hold out much hope that they won’t eventually be eliminated entirely. The least harm will be done if the… Read more »

Sadly you people voted Trump into office on the premise that he would advance the rights of gun owners. What has he done, absolutely nothing. Articles here on “Ammoland.com” regularly criticize the so called anti-gunners and praise the current president as if he has advanced 2nd Amendment rights. His ban on bumpstocks and comments to Morgan show that he clearly does not care. You idiots have fallen for the “okie-doke” but will probably still vote for him in 2020.

Something awfully fishy about this VB shooting as well. Every other time we hear “so and so used a Bushmaster, or Sig Sauer, or Glock..” or whatever the case is. Usually the anti 2A crowd jumps at the chance to name the weapons so they can demonize them. And the suppressor is equally as frustrating.

ATF says no record exists where bump stocks were used in a criminal act yet they have been administratively banned retroactive to day one of purchase (when legal) with criminal penalties attaching for those who refuse to turn in or destroy. Now that is Trumps Due Process. Red Flags Laws – take guns first, due process second. Now that is Trumps Due Process. Now Trump doesn’t like suppressors. So here we go again, all legally purchased suppressors with the $200 tax stamp paid, will be retroactively banned; required to be destroyed or turned in, again with criminal penalties attaching for… Read more »

BULL CRAP–this email is from a Soros troll (possibly paid–he is spending millions to kill off gun ownership). Ammoland is admittedly being hammered by a very sophisticated organized effort to weaken the NRA with arguments phrased to look like Second Amendment supporters bitching and advise to look at weaker alternatives and much more. This yo-yo’s (John) reply to impeach Trump is one.

John

Well yo-yo (Jim), (using your words), I suspect you are NOT good with the due process violations (which Trump In fact initiated or advocates).

Let the dems impeach, that was my point, it will guarantee a second term for Trump. However with that said, I like others herein are concerned with his actions and comments. More concerning, history shows during a second term, the real agenda surfaces.

Hopefully he will get the message, Due Process first!

USA

And when they declare civil war on us he will ban all guns after the first shot is fired. Gov is already in civil war, there is a growing body count. I count 9 in about 8 days. When it spills over onto citizens rest assured Trump gun ban is already written and waiting in desk drawer for his signature. They put gates in the wall and locked them open for invasion forces to keep coming in but then we knew this years ago. What other purpose do gates serve?
