True in part.
Time would remove semi-automatic weapons.

It's all a dream anyway. Neither party has the will to introduce legislation. The Dems only scream about gun control because they can do nothing; if they were in a position of power they would be afraid to use it.
Cowards, all.

The thing is, bans are never permanent. Say they do make it perm. By the time someone dies and affords the govt the opportunity to steal it, it's long gone by some other relative. I've already informed my family if I die to get my semis dissembled and to sell as parts or buy another lower to put it back together.

The Govt will get a big shoe box of paper weights and maybe a pic of me giving the finger.

While the vast majority of gun owners are either Republicans of they just don't bother to vote, there are thousands of Democrats who own guns and most of them want reasonable gun control.

Most of us are not afraid of gun confiscation because we don't buy into the scare tactics used by some gun owners group.
There are exceptions to every rule.

Then we all would be equals.

I agree. forcing Americans to be armed would be the same as forcing Americans to buy health insurance.

since Americans can be forced to buy a product, then I do not see any problem with forcing them to buy a different product, even if said product is something that they completely disagree with.

only exemptions are convicted felons and people convicted by a court for a mental health disease.

But I know democrats don't give a crap about saving lives.

Must be why the republicans are so hot to pass this kind of legislation, eh?

Why don't you gun grabbers educate yourselves before posting ridiculous comments?

Every gun in existence is either Automatic, Selective or Semi Auto!
A revolver is a Semi Automatic!

Now .. what guns are you in favor of taking from non terrorists?

I have no problem with harsh sentences for actual criminals, not turning millions of Americans into felons by a swipe of a pen.
The became felons when the forcibly used a gun in a robbery or home invasion. Pens have nothing to do with it. You are arguing to give lighter sentences to gun wielding violent offenders.

Actually, those penned for not being able to own a gun, are classified as people, too.
The right of the people, not the right of non-felons and those of sound mind.

You see, if we walk free in the land of the free, not incarcerated or dead. A human right is to be able to defend ones self from the bullies. If they are the bully, they will be eliminated from society completely... Dead. Freedom and liberty has casualties in the war to maintain it.

Well to be honest, my military assault WW-II Mauser, is a bolt action, but is the most accurate rifle I own. Hit tacks with steel sights at 200 yards.
