So what about all the fear mongering by the potus, and the police today eh?

Ban all the bad things to make the children "safe",.

Oh never mind that doesn't fit in to the false narrative being spun by the White house.

it seems that the media put a blatant spin on his 'actions' and labeled them 'orders'.

Good eye. I got that too. Thats one way the media reveals their bias. They make it sound like an "emergency meeting" and present it like its what everyone expects and needs (according to them).

When really all that hype will have to boil down to a bill in congress that must be passed by majority vote in order to become law.

"the police are outgunned"

Ring a bell?

And the bell is fear mongering.

I referenced it in terms that means, every American should express their freedoms to own a firearm, instead of talking about saving freedoms on the internet, they could buy a firearm and add to the growing number of Americans who own them already.

The patriotic part of my comment comes into play when you express your freedoms. I encourage people to purchase a firearm, and learn how to use it. I didn't say you couldn't be patriotic if you didn't own one. But it is a good way to send a message I believe.

or.. you could stand around and hold a sign, your choice.

But...you don't fear monger?

So when Ronald Reagan fought for the last AW Ban, one which would never pass today...Ronald Reagan was a Tyrant?

"There are those in America today who have come to depend absolutely on government for their security. And when government fails they seek to rectify that failure in the form of granting government more power. So, as government has failed to control crime and violence with the means given it by the Constitution, they seek to give it more power at the expense of the Constitution. But in doing so, in their willingness to give up their arms in the name of safety, they are really giving up their protection from what has always been the chief source of despotism -- government."

Exploiting peoples fears and blaming "assault weapons" for violence is fear mongering ban all the bad things and that will make people safe

Just get rid of all the bad things!

No, Mr. Vice President. Cops Today Are Not 'Outgunned.'

www.huffingtonpost.com...

"There were fewer police being murdered, fewer police being outgunned when the assault weapons ban, in fact, was in existence," Biden said.

I own guns, but prefer to vote or protest rather than shoot or threaten people? Just saying ...on the hierarchy of political participation...a gun would seem the least democratic?

First off...did YOU just cite Huffington Post???...I just neary spit out my coffee...

Second...a single off-hand remark by the gaffe prone Biden doesn't constitute "fear mongering" by gun control advocates et al....it constitutes Joe Biden speaking.

Third comparing that singular remark to the tonnage of NRA, Beck, Rush, Fox et al is just silly..

Last...he didn't say "Cops today are outgunned"

Fewer...fewer...assuming that not every Police Department is equiped the same..

It will be refreshing when your ilk can debate honestly...we might get honest answers.
