Once again we here the usual lame defense.
No one's coming to take your guns away. We're saying that control is needed in who buys and is allowed to use them - and the types of weapons that are for sale. If you are worried about those rules, then maybe you aren't qualified to have or use them.
you're an ignorant tool who isn't really paying attention if that what you THINK the leading voices screaming from the Left are saying or want. When did they stop teaching history in Boston? This has been tried many times throughout history and it ends up with authoritarian government. Is that what you want from Trump? I don't want it from the next commie the DNC sends up the pole.
You're ignorant about guns if you believe that "assault rifles" are being used, you're ignorant about propaganda if you believe there have been 20 school shootings this year. When the leftist media stops LYING about the issue, people might consider them seriously....but a liar will steal from you, and a thief will kill you. There is NO REASON WHATSOEVER to even try with such a crooked field of liars.
No, they want ALL guns taken away. This is just the camel's nose under the tent. They count on fooling people like you into supporting them. Then it's too late and you supported Goebells because the lie was so big and told so often.
HAHAHAHAHA Thanks for the great laugh before I take off for the extra long weekend, Ted. You, obviously have been as brainwashed as the others by the NRA's propaganda, byt the same repetition without facts and pure fallacies as well - blaming it on 'false media' reports. "They" are coming" "The sky is falling" - you're as bad as Vamp.
