Turn In Your Deer Rifle And Your 12-gauge Shotgun To The Texas Department Of Gun Control

The above is the headline for an editorial written by Barbara Hudson, the Chairman of the Blanco County Democratic Party. This was Barbara's attempt at jest, to mock my concerns about what will happen to our right to keep and bear arms under an Obama presidency and a Democrat super-majority in congress.

In the Blanco County News she writes:

2008 Presidential Election

Turn In Your Deer Rifle And Your 12-gauge Shotgun To The Texas Department Of Gun Control

Now that I have your attention, read the rest of the story:

That is an order that will never be given by a Democratic government. Democrats will protect Americans’ Second Amendment right to own firearms,

Wheew, that is cool. Here I thought the Dems were all about gun control. It is good to see that they are as interested in protecting our Second Amendment right to own firearms.

Let us see what else she has to say.

...and will keep guns out of the hands of criminals and terrorists by fighting gun crime, reauthorizing the assault weapons ban, and closing the gun show loophole, as President Bush proposed and failed to do.

Holy sheep dip bat man, I do believe that Barbara has a somewhat skewed idea about what it means to "...protect Americans’ Second Amendment right to own firearms".

She even goes on to state:

Democrats passed the Brady Law and the Assault Weapons Ban.

This is one interesting article. You would almost think it was written tongue in cheek by a conservative to illustrate the disinformation being put out by the Democrats. But it is not, it really was written by a Democrat Party Chair.

Barbara, Ma'am, the Democrats do want to take away our deer and shot guns. The proof is in the pudding. Take a quick look at H.R. 1022, the assault weapon ban supported by the Dems.

This turkey gun will be banned by H.R. 1022:

Remington Model 11-87™ SP-T Thumbhole

Just look at the evil thumb hole stock, specifically banned by the new AWB.

How about this fine FN?

This beautiful semiautomatic shotgun has a fixed magazine capacity greater than 5 rounds. This is way too much firepower for a free citizen to handle according to the Democrats.

So yes, they do want to ban our shotguns, to say otherwise is disingenuous.

How many of you have a Mini-14® Ranch Rifle?

This familiar rifle is banned specifically by name in the assault weapons ban that is supported by the Democrats.

The Democrats are playing down their aspirations on gun control, what else are they whitewashing? Could it be their plans to redistribute the wealth of this nation?

Thanks to 45Superman for the email heads up on this column.

Update: Here is the text of H.R. 1022.
