[@irisessex90]

Funny she never talks about the illegal guns on the street or in the black community or that astronomical amount she paid her husband for her security that is paid by the tax payers. Nor does she talk about democrats defunding the police, Antifa and BLM riots and billions in damages because they’re to busy bailing them out or the fact that one they bailed out went on to commit murder the following week. They don’t seem to mind criminals let back out on the street before the paperwork dries. They seem to cherry pick what they will tolerate and what they refuse to address. Shall not be infringed means just that. Infringement of the second amendment is not a democratic right.

Freedom isn’t Free ppl. Tyranny won’t be voted away corruption won’t be voted away. We are overrun by tyranny and corruption in every little nook of our country!! All these Agencies spy on us for posting comments here and elsewhere they threaten and worse like what Matt is going through even though to some extent he is also responsible but we have allowed tyranny and corruption to overtake everything so now our govt can come after any of us for something as simple and harmless as this comment right here which will most likely be censored and shadowbanned as I’ve been on all these sites for over a decade for speaking truth without calling for violence. They don’t like that. They allow others and their agents of course to call for all sorts of crazy stuff openly on all these sites we see it everyday you know you do. And you also know you feel wtf is coming for us all if we don’t stop being weak lazy cowards and allowing our govt to continue to do what it’s doing not only to us but to the rest of the world as well. If we don’t all organize and stand up to this corruption and tyranny right now we will most likely all starve to death or be enslaved within a few yrs. It’s what’s coming and they’ve told you all right to your face! You’ll own nothing and love it remember! They keep telling you. Wtf do you think owning nothing means?? Lmfao it means slavery at the very least. And you can play the games and say that’s tin foil hat but it’s really not look at wtf is going on what has already happened you would have never believed just a few short yrs ago. I beg you all to seriously look at the fact organize locally fix your town state and then help others and we meet in the middle to take back the fed and all it’s agencies. We need to force accountability for all these open crimes that are going on every second of every day! We need to be forcing Reps to impeach and jail all these criminals including criminals on the right as well as the left and elsewhere! If we don’t stand now we will most likely either die or be enslaved. Don’t wait to be destroyed ppl. There are still non-violent means to take back our country if we truly stand together! Freedom isn’t Free and no one is coming to save us! Wake up please

So many agencies need abolished, not just the ATF. Even our own military is now being controlled by the satanist UN serving scumbags. And what they are doing is horrific. Our filthy gvt has been torturing and killing our helpless pets and loved ones, using our devices. Many yrs ago, my little short haired blk and tan mini doxy started having violent seizures every month. We took him to vet aftervet and they gave him meds that didn't help. I changed his diet, changed his water, and nothing helped. Sometimes the seizures were so bad he almost died, and we had to rush him to the vets to save his little life. I always cried and prayed when he had these seizures, because it hurt me so deeply to see my baby suffer so bad. Well, about a yr ago, my husband and I were sitting here in our living room and we heard his cell ph make a strange, hi pitched but quiet noise it never made for any reason, and IMMEDIATELY my dog started having seizures! I have been targeted over 30 yrs and never thought that the sick freaks could be deliberately CAUSING the seizures, BUT THEY WERE! I couldn't believe that someone could be so heartless and cruel that they could do such a horrific thing to a helpless little dog!! But they DID! The seizures stopped that day, and a week later my babydog went BLIND. I was heartbroken AGAIN, to see my bay walk into walls, fall down stairs (till we blocked them) and get lost behind a door or the couch!! HEART BREAKING!! His little organs swelled up inside of his belly, and the vet said it was his pancreas. My baby got very sick a couple weeks before Thanksgiving. He was vomitting, had the runs, and refused to eat for me. He was being SHOCKED every hour, night and day, and neither of us could get much sleep. I busted agents AGAIN, using the speakers on this PC to put out FREQUENCIES, hurting my little boy! I unplugged the speakers and then busted them again, using the built in speakers to emit these dangerous frequencies!! I shut down the pc and could still hear a high pitched whine coming directly from the MONARCH TOWER LLC across the street! My baby got so sick he couldn't even lift up his little head anymore and he died in my arms THANKSGIVING DAY about 4pm. I AM HEARTBROKEN and I miss my babydog terribly! THE SICK FREAKS TORTURED AND KILLED HIM just as the had the three prior to him before I realized what they were doing to us!! They are doing these horrific things to HURT US. They are sick satanist freaks who ENJOY hurting helpless, innocent people and animals that cannot defend themselves! Let me also say that they tested other bioweapons on us as well, which cost the life of my longhaired doxy, and nearly cost my life as well, a couple yrs ago. The sick freaks have put nanotech systems in the shots, masks, tests and swabs, and then using the towers to manipulate and control those systems inside the victims. They are also CAUSING inf, disease, organ damage and death w frequencies! WATCH YOUR DEVICES and keep vol low or off and never sleep near any devices!! These sick freaks MUST be stopped!

The ATF and NFA do not prevent mass shootings. They need to be dismantled. All they are doing is infringing on law abiding gun owners. Law abiding gun owners are NOT the problem. It seems pretty clear that it is a tyrannical organization over stepping their boundaries. Contact your congress representatives and support pro 2nd amendment organizations thus putting an end to this unlawful organization. As far as the NFA…there rules are simply infringing on our second amendment rights. The government will not protect you. A portion of the time the police will not get there in time to save you. It is your job to protect you. What it really comes down to is the Anti 2nd amendment folks wanting power and control by capitalizing on mass shootings by getting you to register your weapon. The $200 tax is just a little bonus for them. Criminals will never follow rules + regulations or gun free zohnes. Do not believe these people that are feeding you BS.

What I find truly scary, is these democrats' actually might actually believe the nonsense they are pushing. "Common Sense" means you actually stop pushing policies that simply don't work, and/or are not allowed. You don't push regulations that make absolutely not difference to the function of the weapon. Pistol grip, barrel shroud, brace, forward grips, adjustable or custom stocks do nothing more than make the weapon more comfortable and easier to operate. Background checks only work when the laws and databases they support, are maintained, updated and enforced. Passing laws that infringe on only law abiding citizens only, are useless. Not providing , and enforcing, real penalties to criminals, make no deterrent for unlawful behavior. I don't think these people can see far enough past their rhetoric to understand this. "Weapons of War" means absolutely nothing. A Victorinox "Swiss Army Knife", notably one of the most useful tools in the world. "Army Knife", "Weapon of War" a multitool with a knife blade 1 to 3 inches,

Ms Bush is wrong when it comes to the percent people in other contries have arms at home, Like at the beginning of the Nation, the Swiss people have few professional military (mainly standing Air Force, soon to receive the F-35)All the people in good health must serve in the militia armed forces until retirement age (~50) They are armed ( pistols for officers and like all others with Sturmgewehr, literally assault automatic rifle) all those arms are, with ammunition kept at home, to be used at least once a year for proficiency practice, with new rounds issued. After retirement these weapons are their property and kept alongside with the inherited arms of their parents. This makes the amount of military arms kept at home higher than the national population. How many crimes are commited there: nearly one in a decade. If you don't believe this, check with any Swiss consulate. And yes I served in the Swiss Air Force.
