Tucker Carlson "Goes There" On What Gun Confiscation Means

[Dist. Expert 26]

Everybody thinks you can "fine" people.

All you are doing is giving Joe and Susie Sixpack the same mentality as the Fellas
"I'm already a crook. What's one more law?"

I've said it before, but if my rifle is already illegal I might as well SBR it and add a happy switch. Maybe even a can if I know a competent machinist. I feel safe in saying I'm not alone in this mentality.

Here we go again with the whole "millennial" BS.

Old people don't have a monopoly on appreciating freedom.

People in their 20's are more likely to own an AR than their parents. It's the gun they grew up seeing everywhere. Younger people are also more likely to identify with libertarian views than their parents.

I'm not lining up to turn my stuff in and neither is anyone I know.

Spot on. Which generation got us 20,000 gun laws? Millenials or Boomers/GreatestGeneration? Millenials are the last chance to save this country, as Boomers/GreatestGeneration are more interested in protecting their Social Security than freedom.

Maybe millennial is the wrong term. All I know is that the school kids around here are being taught that guns are evil. My girlfriend's daughter used to happily go shooting with us until the school system scared her into not even wanting to go into a gun shop anymore. She almost throws a fit if we so much as park the truck at Sportsman's Warehouse. I have to sit and listen to a 15-minute screed on how guns are bad, blah blah blah. This from a kid who used to shoot her .22 with glee until she hit middle school.

I think such cases are the exception rather than the rule. Perhaps she's particularly susceptible to the influence of her teachers and the media?

I had teachers who did the same thing and it obviously didn't work.

You guys are absolutely correct.

[Firefly]

Honestly, I thought all my teachers in school were full of crap except for maybe 3.

I dont want to get into the whole generation spiel other than there are more twentysomethings shooting their 6920s than there are old fogeys whining about not being able to shoot "the right way" because of all the kids.

EVERY generation has their dweebs.

Millenials have the bicurious bunch and Gen Xers had the granola girls.

It's a phase and a fad. I have known more than a few hardshell college lesbians who ended up fat and forty married to a man with kids.

They traded their birkenstocks for slippers, their hip huggers for sweat pants, their "look but don't touch" midriff baring backless top for an ugly college football shirt. Their boyish bob for unkempt mom hair and their chokers for an extra set of chins

Age gets us all.

Kids these days, kids these days with their rock music and their ragtop sports cars. And on a school night!

Millennial isn't the wrong term. It is just used in context of only the hipster beta males, and kinda ignores the GWOT crew that has been slaying bodies up and down the mountains of the middle east for longer than any other generation ever has. And again, alot of the MILLIONS of millennials with real combat training and MULTIPLE deployments are going on to use their GI bill. A well trained, highly educated enemy with combat experience and no uniform is not the enemy I would want to fight. Especially not in their own neighborhoods.

Personally I just laugh at the liberal arts kids and their ideas of social justice, and keep my head down in the STEM books.

Be careful what you do when you want to pass feel good stupid laws.

I am a Jew the last time somebody did major gun ban when every thing had shaken out over 6 000 000 of us had become air pollution.

So I WILL NEVER give up any guns I own. So then the government has made me an instant felon.

I then have nothing to lose.

Sucks to be you from that day on.

[Firefly]

Actually, that's not germane.

Guns protect as much or more than they oppress

I see just as many old gun haters as I do young gun haters. Same ratio for gun lovers. Just one man's observations, but from where I'm sitting, a person's age has nothing to do with their views on guns and freedom. I've taught an awful lot of youngsters how to shoot. They tell their friends and teachers the real story, and minds have been changed. Other points of view have been considered. A school kid might not convince a die-hard libtard teacher, but he/she can sure as hell convince their peers to take a deeper look.

Some of my teachers also tried the liberal socialist indoctrination on me too. Didn't take. Didn't take on any of my friends either. We all thought they were whack-job hippies whose brains were rotted out by drugs and free-love in the 60s. We thought they were idiots and their words were idiotic. Even the kids with commie parents still saw right through the BS. For every emo hipster kid I see, I see two kids that can drive a tractor, cut firewood and shoot a gun. Despite what the media and politicians would have us believe, our country is still going strong and our youth is not all lost despite the propaganda and corruption of the educational system by the left. When I took my shotgun class at the ripe old age of 30, me with my stock 590, and a 17 year kid with a stock 870, were outcompeting all of the "old" dudes with their $4000 modded out semis. They weren't even in the same ballpark as me and that kid. And all the old dudes came back for the second day all bruised and whiney, while me and the whipper-snapper were ready to go again.

No… The youth of our country are doing just as well as we did, and they don't like this government tyranny and over-reach any more than we do.
