Putting the "Assault Rifle" Deaths Thingy in Perspective

[Toober]

There is no end goal of total gun confiscation. That's equally as hysterical as an assault weapons ban.

baby steps...its political suicide to come right out and say total disarmament is their goal...

but one has to wonder what progs mean when they say the 2nd amendment should be abolished or going door to door to confiscate scary looking firearms...[beto. biden, pelosi to name just a few]

You are incorrect.

The only question is what law abiding gun owners will do once they are officially outlawed. Here we have no registration. So unless they go house to house nothing changes. If they did that a lot of good police officers will die.

Is it? Are there not Democrats who believe our nation's gun laws should resemble those of Chicago, D. C. and NYC.?

Are there not Republicans who have a Nazi flag nailed up in the garage and advocate sending all Black Americans "back to Africa"?

You don't have to buy into the "Democrats are for universal firearms confiscation" myth to be pro-2nd Amendment. It's just another one of those self-serving partisan lies some conservatives think they need to spread in order to make the lazy, incompetent, corrupt losers they support look better by comparison.

The point of course is that a great many Democrats believe this including several of our members. If this element was in any way insignificant (as in your ridiculous analogy) I wouldn't have mentioned it. I mean FFS you just had a Democratic candidate threaten to round up AR-15s! LOL

God, how many times must this be discussed? Are memories on this forum really that defective?

First of all, very few if any police agencies would cooperate in attempting to enforce such a law, and neither would the military.

Second, the first gun owner who shot a cop in the performance of his duty - however distasteful or unconstitutional that duty might be to him or her - would be a dead man walking. He might well be a hero in some quarters, but he'd be a dead one. Other cops might sympathize with your stance and your reasons - but they would shoot you down at the first opportunity anyway.

yes, we agree, many will die, on both sides,,,the only question is who will be successful?

the last time something was banned that was not viewed favorably was alcohol...

and we all know how that turned out...

Grow up.

Is that your best response, Peter? Really? "Grow up"? How about a rational, intelligent, grownup argument as to why what I wrote is incorrect?

There are several members of this forum with whom I've long abandoned any hope of having an honest, intelligent discussion. You usually at least make an attempt to conduct yourself at a somewhat higher level. Feeling lazy today, or what?
