Maybe we should change the term gun control to people control. They seem to think we want to put guns in jail and sentence them to death.
Putting guns in jail and sentencing them to death is what the Democrats have been doing.

And what is your case by case criteria?

This has gone totally over your head even after my very detailed explanation, functionally there is no difference between what you are calling a "military grade" weapon and any semi auto rifle. You pull the trigger on either and it goes BANG!, you pull the trigger again and it goes BANG!

This term you and the media are using whether it's "military grade" or "assault weapon" is nonsensical. Let's look at feature commonly associated with "assault rifles", the pistol grip. Should something that make my gun more anatomically correct and safer to operate be a reason to ban it?

Wait 'til they realize that the venerable 12 gauge shotgun is deadlier than anything they want to ban.

I have been saying that for years. Once they ban the AR and AK it will be the assault shot gun and the "sniper rifle"

What? The non-gun owning experts told me that is a lie. Have you seen the new speed loaders for tube fed shotties?

I honestly just thought about how to answer your question and went down the list of issues. Pretty much everything. It's really quite fascinating and frustrating at the same time. Of course, they'll accuse us of the same. But I, personally, prefer to be objective. I'm not driven by ego or emotion, so I actually want to know the truth. Trump fans are the absolute worst. The nastiest thus far and most dishonest.

Same old rhetoric, we can post facts and you will ignore them. I quickly scanned thru some of the comments here and really don't see too many lies being said. When are you going to figure out that those that are pro 2A are generally far more knowledgable on the subject vs those that are against. This thread is full of people that think they know best on a subject they know nothing of other then what they see in the media. And the anti's wonder why we will not budge.

Please provide one example so that we can continue the conversation. In regarding to guns, I haven't seen any lies from the conservative side just like I haven't see one truth from the liberal side.

You're projecting, yet again. The lying, which you try to ascribe to Conservatives, is actually your own. And yes, your lies ARE pathological.
