Yeah.. That makes a lot sense, take our guns away and make it easier for criminals, who may be armed with guns, knives, baseball bats or anything else that can be used as weapons to rob, rape, and murder law-abiding citizens, who could have had the ability to defend themselves..

Sometimes I wonder whose side the anti-gun crowds are on, decent people, or criminals.

Obumbler is the gift that keeps giving and has infuriated so many people that will vote liberals out of office in coming elections that we could never possibly thank him enough.

Well given the high number of mass shootings in America, they obviously haven't worked.

You clearly don't understand what "making guns illegal" would entail.

Dishonest people will comply as well, by force if necessary.

He's an ideologue with nothing better to do than force people to act, think, BE how he wants them to. This is what we get when we vote in a product of the liberal activism so pervasive in our higher educational system. HE is what THEY wanted, and the world is burning while they fiddle.

THAT is an insane premise! You would trade freedom for force... AWESOME!




PROOF that liberals are actually authoritarians!

You'd get further reasoning with a brick... you simply cannot change the minds of those who are willingly ignorant. They are the people who voted in a man based on his skin color, and completely ignored his character. You know, the ones who have his poster tacked to the wall in their bedrooms.

Are you serious? Damn! Don't you understand anything? How are you planning to force criminals to comply. They won't know where they have firearms. They won't be registered.

Define "people" As in the context of, "the right of the people"
I'd trust my kid when she was 5 yo with a firearm, more than some LE, that carry daily.

Now, Barack is poised to expand background checks to higher volume gun dealers, which will be 100% meaningless. Obviously.

Do liberals and Democrats understand this? If not, why not?
If we don't try every single thing we can then we have failed our country miserably.

Government is the greatest criminal to freedom & liberty there is... and they want us to have the equivalent of a bb gun, to say we still have our 2nd amendment.
