RFK Jr. Says He Would Sign ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban if it Reached His Desk

A dem is a dem.  There’s not a dime’s worth of difference among them.

Not true. Some posed as Republicans because they were running in districts where only Republicans won.

Once they get a little seniority,it seems like there just ain't no getting rid of them.

I didn't think anyone would think I was sherrilyn whatshername, let alone believe I agreed with a gun-grabber. 

Yeah, I know.

@Wingnut

Ahhh,you would blow a Kennedy if it would keep "Rude Orange Man" out of office,or just because he is a Kennedy?

BTW,you DO know your new lust bunny is also wealthy,right?

Or is it that inherited wealth and position doesn't bother you,it's those "Rude Orange Outsiders" that you just can't deal with?

Here is Trump talking about banning "silencers" on guns (and only 4 years ago)... after banning bump stocks. Oddly enough, in a lot of Europe you can buy silencers (suppressors) off the shelf (like Walmart)... Trump doesn't even understand that they aren't "movie silent" ... it is funny you can get in trouble for having too loud of a car, but too quiet a gun.

The suppressor ban is stupid and a government cash grab and means to have gun owners that want to save their hearing on a list). Few to basically none criminals would use them (having to use subsonic ammo and they still are not movie silent). Trump is just that stupid on gun rights, not once did he even think about the 2nd Amendment rights of the populace (cause he doesn't even begin to understand rights).

Not a whole lot different than this fella who said he would vote for a Democrat if RDS was the nominee:

“Why WOULD he run,when chances are Trump will pick him for his VP,and he ends up spending 3 terms in the WH anyhow,with two of them as President?

Or he could just wait out the end of Trump's one term as the Gov of Florida,and THEN run?

He HAS to know that he runs against Trump it is going to cost him a LOT of the votes he would have gotten if he hadn't.

Mine will be one of them. I would vote Dim before I would vote for him if he does that.”

So when this particular poster was asked by another if he would vote for a Democrat over a “true conservative,” this was his response:

“You bet your senile old ass.”

It’s all right here, in his own hypocritical words, for everyone’s reading pleasure

Get somebody to explain the REALLY complex concept of "options" to you. I know it will make your pointy little head hurts,but try it anyhow.

Saying "I would vote for a Dim before I would vote for him" does NOT mean I will vote for a Dim,but  it definitely means I won't be voting for DeSanctimoniousness.

I apologize if the complexity  in that simple sentence was too much for  you to deal with.

Taken out of context,which would make me mad if it were from a poster than understands the word "context".

Yup

Everything seems to be “out of context” when you’re trapped with your own words

These are your own words I’ve posted. Don’t argue with me. Argue with yourself

Oh, sure… they’ll pose as “moderates” in campaigns but will inevitably return to form to placate their party masters.

Actually you are correct.  I plan to vote for RFK jr in the election if Trump is the GOP challenger.   

So now you know.  Tell Riv if you would.  Keep her in the TRB Trump Leg Humper life line.

Like you matter.

RFK JR. was an ultmate enviro-whacko even before it became fashionable.

He has no business being within a 100 miles of the WH based on those facts alone.

The fact that a certain faction of the GOP and of the media (looking at you Tucker Carlson...) gravitated to him at first because he said a couple of things they liked...says a lot about that faction.

It does. It says they wanted to see what he had to say. Some of the things he was saying were things I still think need to be looked into, especially in the wake of COVID, But there is far too much else he says that would never get my vote. His response to the whole "assault weapons" issue is one of those topics.

There are a lot of Republicans already who were opposed to the COVID lockdowns, so there was nothing unique about RFK Jr. In that regard.

Where he is unique is in some of the statements he has made about vaccines - and not just COVID - over the years.  So were those statements the attraction?

If not...what else was there?  Because to me, the guy has been a flake right from the start, And yet, there was a not insignificant group of people, including the media guy (Tucker) who is seemingly the most MAGA-admired media figure out there, slobbering all over this guy.

It truly makes me believe there is a whacko undercurrent to the whole MAGA movement that makes me nervous as hell about it, and not wanting any of those people anywhere near power.

[txradioguy]

Anyone still think he's a viable alternative?

Despite what all the Biden simps say....RFK Jr is to the left of AOC and Bernie the Red.  The only reason he's even mildly appealed to anyone on the right is because of his stance on vaccines.

RFK Jr. has pointed out the over zealous spending in Ukraine and some other Brandon blunders.  Here's his stance on some other issues:

I do see him as a good alternative to Brandon but no, I wouldn't vote for him.

The ONLY alternative to either Biden or RFJ Jr is a rock-ribbed Conservative Republican.

Nothing less will correct the current course we're on.

I agree.  Either we find a way to seat a true conservative or this Republic will no longer stand; at least not as we know her.

[Maj. Bill Martin]

RFK Jr. has pointed out the over zealous spending in Ukraine...

I guess that's kind of my point.  The anti-Ukraine stance is one that makes me really nervous as well.  I'm not sure how we went from being the party of Ronald Reagan to the party that opposes aid to a former Soviet Republic resisting a Russian invasion, but it is clear that a significant number of Republicans now feel that way.   I see it as a form of neo isolationism, or maybe in more severe cases an unhealthy paranoia about globalists where every single issue becomes a battle against that goober Klaus Schwab, who I think hides under some folks' beds.

In any event, I don't really want anything to do with what I think of as the GOP conspiracist faction, and the whole RFK Jr. fascination kind of validates that for me.

I am for helping any country oppose tyrannical elements wherever they appear.

I am unalterably opposed to pipelines out of our public treasury into the pockets of politicians wherever they exist.

We can do the first without doing the second. @Maj. Bill Martin

I agree @Bigun  I have no problem giving them military equipment, food, etc. Handing them a billion dollars and saying go have fun doesn't work for me.

Paying their country's pensions and funding the budgets for their government while we're 30 trillion in debt and our own Social Security program teeters on insolvancy isn't reflective of the Party of Reagan.

Neither is handing over equipment and munitions without a plan or the production lines in place to replenish what we're giving away...especially with China ramping up their military forces as well as their aggression towards Taiwan.

Reagan would call that suicide.
