Missouri GOP Rep. Demonstrates Why Dem’s Gun Confiscation Bill Is Actually a ‘Good Bill’ — For Target Practice

Feb. 20, 2013 5:30pm Jason Howerton

Missouri state Rep. Eric Burlison (R-Springfield) traveled to a gun range to talk to Missourians about an alarming gun confiscation bill introduced by Democrats that would turn law-abiding gun owners into felons. Under House Bill 545, owners of semi-automatic rifles would have 90 days to turn in their firearms or face felony charges.

“Why are they wasting their time on this? They tried this all before. [The assault weapons ban] was in place for 10 years and had absolutely no effect,” one man said from behind the counter at the gun shop. “Are they going to limit the number of magazines next?”

When Rep. Burlison asked one man holding a semi-automatic rifle what he thought of House Bill 545, he replied “it’s a great bill…It’s great target practice.”

So, Burlison put the man’s word to the test and used the bill for target practice — and his grouping was actually not bad. “You’re right, it does make a good bill,” he joked.

It’s a lot more fun to use the Democrat’s pictures.

I love the “Show Me State”.
I once live in the Communist Republic of Illinois (left in 1977 to defend the Constitution of the United States and this great democratic republic). I’ve never been back. I know all about FOIC. I’ll not live in a state that requires me to obtain PERMISSION to own a firearm.

Missourians- stand up for freedom and your rights. Don’t let the pin-heads in Jefferson City steal your rights.

Fight the good fight.

  Cant have a successful demo/rep. Its one or the other. One has constitutional rights, other is majority rules. Youre seeing that in a democrat/republic you can get your rights voted away.

If the Sponsors of this Bill have so much faith in their Bill, have them hold it up, while their constituents try to punch holes into it.

  From the headlines, I was about to give this State Rep. Burlison a piece of my mind (but can’t afford it) then fortunately, I read what it was about……. thank goodness.
  We have enough stupidity in some States and plenty in Washington D.C. and I don’t want to play their silly, stupid game. They own it Yes, a Bill full of bullet holes is a good bill………Thx Rep. Burlison for your common sense.

He should put a video of his practice up on you tube. I’ll bet it would go viral.

That would be the only good use for such a bill.

Here’s what the Georgia Sheriff’s Association has to say about the 2nd Amendment and bills such as these:

Look farther down in the story for the statement from the GSA. I haven’t seen this reported anywhere else.

  Extremely interesting link. It seems that this is happening all over the country as well. Mostly it is below the radar as the msm is obviously not reporting any of this. Unfortunately even Fox is giving very little coverage as to what is really going on out there. Right now there is only a lot of bluster from Constitution loving Patriots. Not long ago we were dismissed as conspiracy wackos, now we are right wing extremists. The nation is changing, they know that we were right, they just can’t believe that things are really so extreme. They cannot wrap their heads around the fact that the stability they have always enjoyed could just be gone like a puff of smoke. If congress and the supreme court do not take action and put a stop to the madness we will soon enough all be forced to take sides. The only question is… Which side will be forced to wear this holocausts version of the Star of David sewn to their clothes so that we can identify the enemy among us???

  Harrison Bergeron – Trying times indeed, worse to come, but this all needed to happen in order for America to wake from the coma.
  
  Keep in mind that those who post in these topics on the internet are being watched and catalogued.

  I for one don’t really give a s*** anymore, but watch what you say, I’ve seen some posts calling for killing certain people, and acts that could be framed as treason. Such language should be avoided, as it could be used to prosecute. And no one will speak out in defense.
  
  Fight the good fight everyone, and do everything that you can in a lawful manner to fight back. Be unafraid to speak out. Cast aside Political Correctness. Join the NRA, state right to carry Lobbies, any pro 2A groups that are proven to have merit. Join the Tea Parties for your area.
  
  Go to the Day of Resistance rallies this Saturday in your state.
