With the wake of Aurora in our minds, why not just ban guns? Guns kill people, right? So lets just ban them, so no one else will die, by their hands.
Or is it that simple? What do we do with the MILLIONS of guns, already legally possessed by people? Kick in their doors and confiscate them? Send the police (brown shirts) into peoples homes and businesses, and forcibly take their firearms from them?
What about the MILLIONS, and I do mean MILLIONS of firearms, which aren't registered to anyone? What about the MILLIONS of firearms which WERE registered, which have been sold, transferred, etc to other persons and their is no record of this? What do we do now?
Background checks, waiting periods, etc I am all for. I have no problems with them. Of course, a waiting period and background check would not have stopped the moron in Aurora from getting his firearms. So, I am asking the liberal anti gun crowd:
What would you do? What is it you want?
The ONLY way to get firearms off the streets, is to institute some sort of "martial law." Then, send the police and military into people's homes, without warrants, search them, and recover ALL firearms. Doesn't matter if they were legally or illegally obtained. Without confiscating these firearms, "gun control" is a worthless idea; all meant to make some liberals "feel good."
My firearms will be in my locked safe. They will last longer then ANY of us on this board will be alive. HUNDREDS of years. So ban them. Ok. Mine and MILLIONS of others will be still be here. What are you going to do with the millions already in the United States? Say, well, "Ok. At least we are doing something?" Again, so you can "feel good?"
"Gun Control" is another liberal lie, for GUN BANNING. At least you liberals should be honest and tell the US and world the truth. You don't want "control." You want to ban the private ownership of firearms. THAT is your goal. Plain and simple.

It's simple, who says you have to go retrieve them? Minimum Mandatory 50 years if you get caught with one outside your front door. It may take 200 more years to get rid of em, but they'll go away eventually.

You are exuberant at the thought of government taking away the RKBA aren't you.

That's the problem with you people, everything is a conspiracy, a coverup...a lie. That's why having an intelligent conversation and working on serious issues like this is next to impossible, the GOP is filled to the brim with puffed up, hyperbolic children who present a false argument to attack. In the meantime little kids get gutted all across our country. Congratulations.
I suggest looking at the crime statistics. In spite of massive public and private expenditures on police and crime prevention this country has a huge crime problem. This country also has a huge drug problem. If we disarm citizens the criminal would then have no restriction. Legally the police are not responsible for your individual safety. Only you are responsible. I suggest we first try to eliminate the crime and drug problem.
Not as much as you apparently enjoy watching our kids get shot about once a week.
Your painting everyone with a broad brush.......kids getting shot please tell me who's doing this? Would it be those that shouldn't have them in the first place........Let's see should gang members???
If one of these administrations would do something about gangs shootings will barely exist. These "lone shooters" are just making a name and 15 mins of fame, while screwing everyone.
