The year is 2009, months after the inauguration of Barack Obama. The 2,000 guns cost U.S. taxpayers around $1.5 million in cash. The firearms were purchased at American gun shops with the government watching. The rifles crossed the border. They ended up with the Cartels. One of them killed a Border Patrol agent named Brian Terry in a canyon in Arizona. Another helped kill an ICE agent named Jaime Zapata on a highway in Mexico. Hundreds turned up at crime scenes...

Here is a picture of a rifle class typical of those conducted in schools just a few decades ago.
Kids took their rifles to class on the school bus.
What’s changed?
Say... you did know that the Dayton shooter was an unhinged leftist who despised Trump, loved Warren, and wanted to install socialism no matter what people thought?
But when it comes to Black deaths, I see tumbleweeds, but nary a Democrat. Wait: I hear crickets chirping!
Thousands can die in America's impoverished inner cities every year -- with illegally acquired guns -- and Democrats are silent.
Perhaps it's because they're the ones running those cities, like Chicago, Baltimore and Destroyt. And decades of Democrat leadership have enabled the worst breed of gangsters by criminalizing gun ownership by law-abiding citizens.
Breaking: criminals don't obey laws. Also breaking: when criminals see unarmed victims, they pounce.
Only when Democrats have an opportunity to gain politically do they even care about criminal activity.
According to John Lott, Jr., PhD, Dean's Visiting Professor at the State University of New York (SUNY) at Binghamton:
The consequences could be alarming. Consider the following examples of possible nanoweapons, just off the top of my head:In 2008 experts surveyed at the Global Catastrophic Risk Conference at the University of Oxford suggested a 19 percent chance of human extinction by the end of this century, citing the top four most probable causes:
Obviously nanoweapons are at the top of the list, having a 1 in 20 probability of causing human extinction by the end of this century. Notice that biological weapons (item 4), which have been a mainstay apocalyptic theme in both fiction and nonfiction, come in as a distant fourth, with only a 1 in 50 probability of causing human extinction.
- Molecular nanotechnology weapons: 5 percent probability
- Superintelligent ai: 5 percent probability
- Wars: 4 percent probability
- Engineered pandemic: 2 percent probability
On Guns: There’s a growing push to repeal the Second Amendment among many influential liberals and members of the coastal T.V. glitterati, including the Louisiana Democratic Chairwoman, John Paul Stevens, Michael Moore, and Larry King who has a show on RT, which broadcasts Kremlin messaging. According to a recent poll, 39 percent of Democrats support repealing the Second Amendment and 82 percent favor banning semi-automatic weapons.A revised Second Amendment could read: "The right to bear arms for hunting, sport and recreation being a cherished and time-honored tradition, the exercise of this right by responsible persons for these purposes shall not be infringed" #NYTLetters href="https://t.co/2vkXwj0p1J">https://t.co/2vkXwj0p1J

On one hand, this could actually expand the types of guns private citizens could own, because this doesn’t actually provide a delineation. I want to hunt with an automatic M16. The verbiage gives me that ability. And, he, I might think that recreation is defending my home. Oh, and I would need the gun at home to make sure I keep it clean. But, of course:
Former Associate Justice John Paul Stevens was a foe of any broad reading of the Second Amendment while he served on the U.S. Supreme Court. He dissented from the 2008 majority decision in the District of Columbia v. Heller case, which held that there was an individual right to bear arms. Mr. Stevens is now going even further in his retirement, writing an op-ed column for the New York Times entitled “John Paul Stevens: Repeal the Second Amendment.”
Mr. Stevens is of the view that the Second Amendment is an artifact with no current beneficial purpose to serve. “Concern that a national standing army might pose a threat to the security of the separate states,” he wrote in his op-ed column, “led to the adoption of that amendment, which provides that ‘a well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.’ Today that concern is a relic of the 18th century.”
Have they no shame? Just days before it was announced that documents regarding the Fast and Furious gunrunning scandal were to be released after being hidden for six years under executive privilege, there was former Obama attorney general Eric Holder responding to a question on Bill Maher's show:
The former attorney general drew applause from the studio audience when he quipped: "The difference between me and Jeff Sessions is, I had a president I did not have to protect."
Holder had used nearly the same line in an interview with The Washington Post last month. Maher didn't challenge him to defend it, but some critics have accused Holder of protecting Obama for years.
In 2012, Holder became the first sitting attorney general to be held in contempt of Congress – in a 255-to-67 vote – for refusing to turn over documents related to a botched gun-running investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Holder did have a president to protect, as well as himself, partners in a criminal scheme to run guns into Mexico and into the hands of Mexican drug lords, guns that led to the deaths of border agents Brian Terry and Jaime Zapata. He was protecting a president who recently made his own self-serving and false claim:
It seems the mass murderer in Florida did not use magazines of a capacity over 10 rounds. This presents a minor difficulty for those who want to ban magazines over 10 rounds.
The “weapon and bullets were not high quality and were breaking apart,” one of the legislators, state Sen. Lauren Book, D-Plantation, told the Herald.
Cruz went in with only 10-round magazines because larger clips would not fit in his duffel bag, Book said.
Given the general ignorance of reporters on firearms technology, and of Democrats in general, I would not rely on this information until we have corroboration. Democrat Representative Lauren Book seems to have experience with child abuse and anorexia (she has written two books).
The Republican Party currently controls the White House and both chambers of Congress, while the Supreme Court has a 5-4 conservative majority – something David Hogg, a student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, pointed out during an interview with his classmates on Sunday's "Meet the Press."
Responding to Trump's tweet, Hogg said: "How dare you. You are in that exact position right now, and you want to look back on our history and blame the Democrats? That's disgusting.
Less than three hours after the tragedy at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) was looking to score political points. As is his custom, Murphy fired off a tweet admonishing his colleagues for their refusal to submit to the gun control lobby’s agenda. However, in the following hours, as more information about the shooting became available, it became clear the event didn’t fit so neatly into Murphy’s preconceived anti-gun narrative.
One of the first successful semi-automatic or self loading rifles was the Remington Model 8 above. It was patented in 1900 by John Moses Browning.
Commercial production started in 1906. It was a successful design, used in the hunting fields, in law enforcement, and had limited usage in the U.S. military. The model 8 was modified a bit in 1936 and become the model 81, which was produced until 1950.
For instance, here’s rising Democratic party star Kamala Harris, who at one point would have been part of the extremist wing, but, really -- now -- the extremists are the party:
