Liberals always, after any reported deaths involving firearms, are quick to shout for banning of guns, ammunition, and restrict the rights of those who have not committed any crime.

The analogy would be advocating the banning of all automobiles, as drunk drivers kill 27 people per day. Forget the fact that the vast majority of drivers do not kill anyone- we must ban all automobiles to prevent drunk drivers from killing people.

You're making a false equivalence. Guns =/= cars. So your argument died in the starting gates.

The question is what is your real aim then?

Eliminating deaths? Or something else?

If your aim is to reduce the number of deaths each day, then why single out firearms when there are far more deaths from other sources? In fact firearms is pretty far down the list.

My bet is your real aim is something else.

All cars need to be limited from the manufacturer not to be able to exceed 10 mph(single shot from semi- and fully automatic), to eliminate drunk driving deaths.(same as banning the AR-rifles)

All they would have to do is require a simple app on all smart phones that disables the screen while the phone is in motion and they could save more lives from texting and driving caused accidents in a month than killed by guns in a year.

Because of money and who pulls their strings. Liberals are nothing but useful morons.

Libs: Why aren't cars prohibited if drunks kill 27 people per day?
Because libs are smarter than to think that makes any sense.

(Righties are terrible at processing nuances.)

True, owning and or driving a vehicle isn't a right.

Oh the libs will be banning everything and anything.......they have to be able to ban your guns first.

That way, there's no fighting back when they come to confiscate whatever it is they want to take from you.
