Paul Helmke on new McCarthy bill

One thought on “Paul Helmke on new McCarthy bill

  1. The anti-gun rights crowd is criticizing 33-round magazines in the media, but the bill they have in Congress bans anything over 10 rounds. That’s fraud.

    Helmke’s comments grossly oversimplified the gun restrictions that we have in this country. We are already under innumerable, and sometimes inscrutable, government-imposed restrictions, at the town, city, county, state and federal level. ATF has a billion-dollar a year budget, and Helmke talks as if guns are unregulated. Helmke is a man who has advocated any and every restriction, and even outright prohibition, as if the Second Amendment called for infringement of the right to keep and bear arms, instead of outlawing it.

    Large magazines serve as a check against the power of the state – that is their function in our free society. Do we want to remain free, or do we want to allow ourselves to be marched down the road to tyranny and totalitarian government, one ban at a time? Gun restrictions don’t work. Freedom works.
