Lindsey Graham Politely Explains to Idiot Reporters Why He needs an AR-15
[PJMEDIA] A favorite question that the anti-gun crowd likes to ask is "Why does anyone need an AR-15?" Sen. Lindsey Graham
...soft-spoken senator from South Carolina, former best buddy of John Maverick McCain. Since McCain's demise, Graham has become more outspoken, more Republican and more of a supporter of President Trump. The speech he gave in support of Brett Kavanaugh was downright manly and really cheesed off the Dems...
(R-S.C.) has a very practical answer to that, which he offered to news hounds on Friday.

The New York Post:

Sen. Lindsey Graham knocked down the idea of banning semi-automatic weapons nearly identical to those used by soldiers on the off chance a hurricane slams into his South Carolina town.

"Here’s a scenario that I think is real: There’s a hurricane, a natural disaster, no power, no cops, no anything," the Republican politician told news hounds aboard Air Force One.

A news hound asked if he meant looters.

"Yeah, people, they’re not going to come to the AR-15 home," Graham responded. "Well, I think if you show up on the porch with an AR-15, they’ll probably go down the street."

That's a very sound point. No matter where you live, you can come up with a legitimate argument for owning an AR-15 for self-defense. Of course, no one ever wants to be in a situation where they have to, but the peace of mind is a gift.

#1 'Senator Graham Says Gun Violence linked to Climate !'

'Weapon of War Advocates hide behind Climate Change induced weather patterns. Time to Abolish both ?'

'Senator Graham has an AR-15 and he will use it to drive away people asking for aid in calamity. "I will send them running down the street" he says.'


All is SARC/ by the way ☺

#6 A rational response...
Personally I prefer the "Because I %$#@ing WANT to" approach.

#7 "Because I %$#@ing WANT to"

Aspirations can be motivating, but in terms of the Second Amendment, the correct answer is "Because we can..."

#8 Because the same folks that want to take our weapons worship a failed political system that killed millions of their own citizens.
