A Colorado lawmaker says she can “no longer be silent” about “so many good young people” who “can’t even see reason” and “don’t understand” what they are marching about.
Reyher wrote on Facebook this week that “the protestors have been lied to for so long and can’t even see reason. I will never give up my guns and know many people who feel the same way. I am a Patron Life Member of the National Rifle Association and am a supporter. It makes me very sad that so many Americans are falling for the notion that disarmed is safer.”
Painfully stupid doesn't begin to describe her.
“I will never give up my guns and know many people who feel the same way. I am a Patron Life Member of the National Rifle Association and am a supporter.”
Her guns are more important than other’s lives — I think she’s pretty clearly understood . . .
Pretty clear Rep. Reyher has never handled a firearm in her life. She should come out to the range sometime, maybe try her forks and heels against a ceramic deer…
Last time I checked, even Jason Bourne doesn't use "scissors, forks, steak knives, keys, and the spike heel on shoes” to kill more than 50 people at a concert. And I can't recall the last time any of those items was used in the United States to kill 17 students and wound 15 more in a 6 minute spree. I've never heard of a school having an "active scissors-wielder" drill.
And Rep. Reyher (R-CO-Rep47) thinks the STUDENTS are badly informed and don't know what they are concerned about??
A six minute shooting spree resulting in 17 deaths can be accomplished with a Musket
Except it can't . The Brown Bess was a smoothbore, unable to fire accurately. But I take it you are offering a compromise limiting all gun nuts to black powder muskets?
Done!
The late Antonin Scalia was a big follower of the Intent of the Framers school of constitutional law. The framers had muskets in mind when they added that bit about the well-armed militia. I think that is a fine compromise, Voyageur. What do you say, Nuggy? Do we have a deal?
So, when you do my NRA membership, do I get a vintage musket with the pocket knife and sticker?
Repeal the 2nd amendment.
Uh-huh. And, when did that last occur, Negev? Better yet, when did that ever first occur? . . .
(Pre-1800s military battles don’t count.)
. . . the new mass murder weapon of choice for our Gadsden flag crowd?
Muskets, and forks, and high heels, oh my!! . . .
Please, don’t forget to tell us the one about Sampson, 1,000 Dead Philistines, and the jawbone of an ass?!?
Don 't underestimate the jawbone of an ass. Trump used that very same tool to be elected president!
Are you really going to try and justify 32 casualties in close quarters with a rifle that at best could inflict 18 when the shooter had a 15-second reload between each shot?
I dunno, JiD. My grandmother once employed the Cuban heel of her shoe to explain to my grandfather why he should never strike her again and it proved extremely effective. They were married for 58 years and he never raised a hand to her again.
A drive-by forking. When was the last time you heard Faux News report on one of those?
I think that story got lost in their rush of coverage of yet another Valentine’s Day mass forking at the Kansas City Country Kitchen Buffet?
forkin' A….
Like every other violent crime, forkings are OK if you're a white guy, preferably a Republican.
Finish this story…..
Judy Reyher, Lori Saine and Vickie Marble enter a classroom to take an IQ test together…..
The ultimate race to the bottom. That much stupid in one place would surely implode our world.
Their combined IQ was 55.
…
in a competition to see who can get the lowest score…..aaannnd…It's a three way tie for first place!!!
. . . BB-gun minds in a nuclear cruise missle world.
(Isn’t it about time that somebody in Hollywood had the guts to finally take on a Three Stooges remake from a women's perspective???)
With apologies to George Wallace (the comedian, not the dead racist asshole governor/presidential candidate):
Judy Reyher, Lori Saine and Vickie Marble walk into a classroom. The teacher looks at them and says, "Y'all get the fuck outta here!"
That's it.
Judy says "what is this place?" and Lori says, "no place I ever been before," and Vickie says. "Let's go girls, before the Globalists get us."
Actually, you do have to admit, Reyher does make one very good point . . .
. . .
. . .
. . . Naaahhhh! Just messin’ with ya’!
Sad news for Negev:
Interesting side note — the number of ammosexuals with private armories appears to be shrinking. So when criminals need to steal weapons, they only need to find the homes and storehouses of a few folks like Negev.
I'm still looking at the home insurance angle on guns. It appears that most insurance policies don't discriminate, and just treat firearm collections as property. If they get damaged or stolen, that's a loss (up to ~$3000)
But very few companies ask about increased liability risks from unsafely stored firearms in the home. We get asked about our pets, the construction of the home, furnaces, lead paint, etc, but not whether we have loaded deadly weapons lying around. The liability for gun accidents typically goes up to $1,000,000.
However, this would only cover accidents – not intentional discharging of guns in the home. You shoot a family member or a stranger at the door, you're on your own.
I'd advocate for insurance rules that would punish people who don't use gun safes or smart locks to keep little kids from getting at guns. I don't want to read any more horror stories about toddlers shooting each other with the gun daddy kept under his pillow. (~7400 kids injured or killed by guns / year per CDC)
Insurancequotes.com reports that
So let me get this right – the NRA (and brother organizations) want you to buy more guns. Once you buy the guns, they want to sell you insurance for the guns. They just don't want anyone to HAVE to have insurance, because freedom. Although it would suck if it was your toddler that lost their "life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness" because of your unsecured gun and no insurance.
Treat guns like cars, say I. Educate and train in use, operate safely, keep age limits, keep military guns in military hands (no, I don't need a commuter tank), license them with renewable exams, and insure them – it's a matter of life and death.
I'm surprised that Moderatus hasn't jumped in to defend the fair Judy from all of us mean libz that just don't understand her fine-tuned analogy. After all, he helped to nominate Judy in the first place. He did know that he was getting a Kookie Monster.
He is a Kookie Monster himself.
