Wolves In The Camp
BY Herschel Smith5 years, 2 months ago
The head of the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association said the sale of ghost guns is a growing problem.
“These ’80 percent’ guns are providing a way for prohibited people to buy a firearm,” Tom King of the NYSRPA said, referring to people who don’t have a gun permit or are otherwise prohibited from possessing a gun.
He said self-assembled guns provide a way for competition shooters to make a custom-fitted firearm. Such weapons should have serial numbers and be registered — and any new legislation should consider such a provision, he said. But it appears increasingly, King said, people trying to evade the law are the ones buying and selling self-assembled weapons.
“It appears what was meant to be something for competitive shooters and serious shooters to build their own unique firearm may be turning into a criminal enterprise,” King said.
I don’t see Tom King as a quisling or coward. I think he is a gun controller, an enemy of liberty, set out to do everything in his power to destroy recognition of God-given rights. Sometimes it comes in the obvious form like it does above, sometimes it’s more discrete.
Fellow gun owners I submit this to you for your consideration. We will never convert the 22% rabid anti-gunners, we don’t have to convert the 32% avid pro gunners but we must convert a sizable portion of the 46% of those somewhere in between if we want to retain our 2nd Amendment Rights long term. These are the soccer moms, the guys who say I’ve never shot a gun but would like to try it and the people worried about their safety. How do we do that? Not by standing on stage screaming obscenities at Cuomo and certainly at large rallies where people stand on stage, pound their chest and tell the attendees to prepare for war. That frightens the very people we want to attract to our side, the people who will insure (sic) 2nd Amendment Rights for our grandchildren.
Whether it’s working to increase regulation, or make gun owners and their protests toothless, either way, his actions are those of an avowed enemy of God’s laws. And take careful note, Tom King is a current member of the NRA board of directors.

Just as it’s a God-given right to build one’s own shelter. one may build one’s own spear-even the BAFTE understands that.

We don’t need to convince the 46% of go along to get alongs of anything. That’s why we have a second amendment. To tell politicians and anyone else concerned what their not allowed to do.
No, the problem is respect. no one has it anymore. And it’s historical pattern of reinstatement is generally done by force.
Not a threat, natural law.

If “snitches get stitches”, what pay back are ‘traitors in our midst’ deserving of?

Luke Chapter 6, after naming the Apostles, in verse 16 it says: and “Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor.”
Well Judas didn’t get to keep the money, he shortly died, hanged on a tree which is the manner of the cursed, and nobody bothered to cut him down since he didn’t have any friends any more, traitors never do, so his body eventually fell and his guts spilled out on the ground and he was eaten by wild animals. But hey, after satan drove him mad and he hanged himself he did get a little plot called Aceldama or Field of Blood named for his treachery, the blood in said name being a reference to the Blood Money (and where that term originates) that he obtained by selling out our Lord. This Blood Money he tried to return as though that would satisfy the sin of being instrumental in the killing of God. A traitors logic is the treacherous thing and why they should be avoided at all cost.
Remember, any man who makes an agreement, or covenant before God to “fighting for you rights in NY State” and “has been dedicated to the preservation of Second Amendment rights, firearm safety, education and training, and the shooting sports.” who then blasphemes God by denying his covenant can’t be trusted in any thing whatsoever.
So let’s see, what do traitors win Monty? Uh, that would be; hanged from the neck until dead. Thanks for playing.

This was simply a smear by antigun media. I spoke with King yesterday. Never met him before. In this case he was blatantly misquoted, and so misquoted it was deliberate lying by Newsday. And the gun crowd fell for it including myself. King wrote a rebuttal. https://www.ammoland.com/2019/10/comments-by-nra-board-member-tom-king-regarding-80-lowers/#axzz63IBijyrj

@david,
” … Such weapons should have serial numbers and be registered.”
Did he say that? I don’t care if it was one sentence in a million. Did he say that, or didn’t he?
It’s a simple, clear, concise question.
Yes or no?

Not to pile on but, I’m piling on. Did he say the words “Gun Permit” with anything other than venom on his tongue and a demand that that practice cease and desist right now?
