Anecdotal statements thrown out with no evidence can be just as easily dismissed.

Would you give up your semi auto guns if you knew that it would save just one kids life?

Would you give up one item of clothing to feed one starving kid in Africa

The OP's question is not logical.
It places me and my weapon as the cause of a death. That would indicate it was I who pulled the trigger.

I think the Op's question is flawed. I could care less how many guns someone owns, and I don't think the semi automatic weapons themselves are the problem--it's the capacity of the magazine. If you have a large capacity magazine on a semi automatic weapon you might as well have a machine gun--automatic weapons ARE tightly regulated in this country. It's not legal to even hunt in Nebraska with anything more than six rounds. Maybe we need to tightly regulate the magazines, and require manufacturers to modify their designs so that people can't easily change out components in their guns themselves without having to actually machine the parts themselves. This is a complicated problem that's going to have to be approached from lots of different directions, and it's going to take someone smarter than me to figure it out, but I think we need to have a serious conversation in this country about what WILL make a difference. The last assault weapon ban didn't work because an elephant could walk through the loopholes, and the manufacturers just redesigned around the restrictions--the weapons used in most of the recent mass murders were all legal under the old ban. Hopefully this time we'll actually address the problem.

Let me see if I can put it in simple terms for you.

Your guns would not kill anyone, its not about your guns. Do you follow me so far?

But if a ban on semi autos that would not only take away your guns but a gun that would have killed on innocent child's life, see there, not your guns killing but someone else's gun killing but by giving up your guns in order to not allow a killer to have a gun that would there by save a child's life would you give up your gun. I hope that is simple enough for you to under stand. LMFAO.

Would you give up your semi auto guns if you knew that it would save just one kids life?
Do you realize you just proved the point people have been making here: me giving up my guns will NOT save ANY lives. You said it yourself.

So, now that we both agree that giving up guns will not save any lives, the answer: NO, I will not give up my guns because it would not save any lives, and it would serve no purpose.

I would give up nearly any material possession to save any child's life, stranger or not.

I'd give a hundred bucks right now to never have to hear stupid, illogical premises like the one on the op.

The ignorance of mother nature is astounding.

You will never change the fact, that he who has the most strength, power and weapons, will control all others.

Deal with it.

You may cut your claws and become prey, but don't ask me to cut my claws.
