Another cognitive distortion seeking to use a broad brush to define an entire generation.

I can't wait for that generation to take charge, I won't be around then, but it will be fun to watch.

You would think this would go without saying. Sadly, there are many here who believe the opposite is true.

No. If that were true we would live in a bubble wrapped nerf safety world.

Every firearm ever made meets your current criteria for banning. That is impossible and unreasonable.

Deadly weapons help save lives daily from criminals and those who mean to do you harm. Maybe read a little?

Do you realize how many rifle manufactures there are.
If you stop them, people will make their own

Chicago has some of the toughest gun control laws in the country. How's that working out?

Lack of laws is not the problem, and neither is the NRA. They can put a million more laws on the books but it serves no purpose if there is no enforcement.

Taking guns away from responsible citizens only leaves guns in the hands of the criminals who don't care about laws anyway. This is the point the easily mortified liberals don't understand. The easily mortified liberals don't have a clue as to what they're rallying against or what kind of a solution is practical and workable.

can you image the government forcibly entering homes, searching them, and taking guns from citizens? that is a scary thought which would not end well for anyone.
I rarely use the term never and yet it is my belief 38 states will never ratify the repeal of the 2nd. Can't imagine 38 states agreeing to much of anything.

That has not however prevented gun advocy groups from using propaganda to sustain the fear it will happen if they take their eye off the ball.
