New Dem AWB Push in Congress

#1

Post by Kythas »

Dems are ramping up AWB efforts, calling them "dangerous and unusual weapons". This is to counter the Heller decision which states that the 2nd Amendment pertains to weapons "in common use". They are trying to show that weapons that can accept magazines larger than 10 rounds are not common.

I still hate that Fox News even calls 30 round magazines "excess-capacity magazines" when a 30 round mag is the standard size. It shows that the antis are winning the language battle.

That's why I do not consider FoxNews to be conservative...they are just less liberal-progressive than the others.

IF we had a press in this nation that actually did their job, versus being a propaganda machine for liberal-progressives, we wouldn't be in as much mess as we are...

There is nothing conservative about Fox News. They are moderates. They are typical journalists trained in the left wing journalist training academies.

Just as the dems and repubs have all shited left over the years where the current repubs calling themselves coservatives are actually moderates, today's conservative news media are also moderates. Why else would they fawn over Chris Christie and consider Mit Romney a true conservative? Why esle would a new your moderate shill like Hannity be peading the charge for aour 2A on conservative TV?

My idea of a conservative news source would be calling for impeachment every morning, screaming for the house to waste can Boehner the Coward, and would be calling barry a liar at every opportunity.

I guess this is just me.
