Mike Huckabee News

(Hope this isn't a repeat) A bit long but a very good read .....

I didn’t want to post about this, because frankly, it is exhausting. I’ve been having this exact same argument for my entire adult life. It is not an exaggeration when I say that I know pretty much exactly every single thing an anti-gun person can say. I’ve heard it over and over, the same old tired stuff, trotted out every single time there is a tragedy on the news that can be milked. Yet, I got sucked in, and I’ve spent the last few days arguing with people who either mean well but are uninformed about gun laws and how guns actually work (who I don’t mind at all), or the willfully ignorant (who I do mind), or the obnoxiously stupid who are completely incapable of any critical thinking deeper than a Facebook meme (them, I can’t stand).

A bit long? That a freekin book man. But he's spot on and I give him an A+ plus extra credit.

Very good. Agreed also.

Well said.

I love this part with respect to AR-15 type weapons:

I had one individual tell me that these types of guns are designed to slaughter the maximum number of people possible as quickly as possible… Uh huh… Which is why every single police department in America uses them, because of all that slaughtering cops do daily. Cops use them for the same reason we do, they are handy, versatile, and can stop an attacker quickly in a variety of circumstances.

Thanks for posting this. It's a good reference for anyone who deals with anti-gun folks.

Whew - finished. That's an accomplishment in and of itself, especially with a 6-month old on my lap!

Anyways - this thing is chock full of good stuff. Thanks for all of the professional insight, Mr. Correia. I know that none of it will change the minds of the idiots on the wrong side of the debate, but great article nonetheless.

That is spot on. He thinks exactly like I, anyone on here, and many others think and he is smart enough to say express his thoughts in a "politically correct" way. I respect and admire him greatly.
