Inner city violence is frequently mass shootings. How else do you think innocent bystanders get caught, injured, or even killed in the crossfire? That happens to even little kids in their own homes. Many Moms who live in gang-infested neighborhoods put their babies/kids to sleep each night in the bathtub for exactly that reason.

Further, the 1911, being a very popular design, has been build by so many companies.....just like the AR-15. Something that the USSC said about being in common use. So if they go after one, why not go after the other?

Yup....I will willingly sacrifice all the leftists who will be killed in a civil war that they will start by attempting to violate the constitution any take away our second amendment rights. They do t get it do they? We will not give in......even if they win 1000 elections or have 10000 judges swing their gavels. We will forcefully replace any government that violates our rights. The only way they will get what they want is to defeat us militarily in a civil war......something they cannot do.

Revised question: Whose life would you put at the mercy of criminals in order to make the OP feel safer?

Apparently, gun grabbers are not concerned with criminals. They are concerned with citizens having guns.

Good point. And what about variants ? There are many AR pistols out there. If those are banned as well, i guess he meant hand guns too.

Sure seems that way, in the hundreds of replies in these types of threads i never here the "common sense gun reform" person focus on the criminals, just the law abiding. They are willing to throw our rights out the window, with red flag laws but the moment things like stop and frisk are brought up they are the first to bleat about rights violations.

That's one of the great things about Terminator 2........everyone was using the 1911. Hence when they neutralized a member of the local opposing force,.........they could take their magazines.

Yeah, they don't like to talk about inner city violence, because you know, most of them are run by Democrats and have heavy gun control.

In fact, that's probably the MAIN reason they focus so heavily on these other shootings because it takes the spotlight off of the hundreds of shootings per day in these Democrat run, tight gun-control cities.

Of course they'd immediately go after pistols.

Once they get rid of the "scary war guns", they will then point to the statistics and say the real killer is pistols.

They will use the argument, "We don't want to take your hunting and target guns like rifles. Pistols are used in the vast majority of murders, robberis and home invasions. You can't use them for hunting, and most children are accidentally shot with pistols."

Semiautomatic rifles with magazines is just the second stop on the gun ban bus.
