Does anyone putting forth that hypothesis do the math and think about the incredible cost? For a team of 100 paid protesters that is $150,000 per week! Approximately $7.5 million per year!

........who have been crying wolf and shrieking for decades now. Actually worse that the pot calling the kettle black, given that stupid obvious lies from our side BUILT the NRA.

The old horseshit about "fully automatic conversion kits" is being peddled in another thread:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1172202633#post34
...firearms which in good part morphed from rifles with automatic capabilities many of which can be backfitted to full automatic with common tools or conversion kits.
Funny thing: of all those claiming these are a thing, none have ever produced evidence of ever having
gotten one- they are as full of shit as LaPierre.

The most gun violent time/place in modern history, and law enforcement only recovered 1 or 2 fully automatic weapons.
The Controllers are ignorant beyond belief, and this ignorance compounded with their arrogance is quite the ugly combo.
