They just won't come right out and say it.
A lot of good info at link of the history of American gun laws.
Absolute prohibition on possession of firearms of any sort by anyone except police and military, of course.
Just like in Schindler’s List.
Looks like my garage before that tragic flood which washed everything into the river.
Agree. And don’t ever expect an honest answer to the question. Their goal is couched in the usual marketing phrases like “common sense,” “gun safety,” “reducing gun violence.” That last one is curious in that it isn’t “eliminating” gun violence. Implicitly, they expect an acceptable amount of gun violence from the government following confiscation. But to them, that’s a good thing.
It does little good to remind them that there was plenty of bloodshed before firearms came around - Genghis Khan comes to mind. It doesn't do any good because it isn't a position they've reached by reason and they're not going to be reasoned out of it.
What they want is a 100% ban and door-to-door confiscation.
At gunpoint.
I wonder how they’re going to enforce it.
The liberal vision is not one of a gun free society. They never say that but leave it to be implied. The reality is theyre only interested in taking your guns. Theyll keep theirs. Liberals understand guns are necessary to keep the general populace in line and to cull those groups they view as ‘’defective’.
Never enough!
The goal is to totally disarm the citizens.
“shall not be infringed” is very clear language.
There are far too many infringements already.
I ask myself that all the time.
RE “Question for gun control advocates: ...”
Answer for Gun Control Advocates:
GFyourselves. Molon Labe.
How much? Less than we have now.
Let’s consider high capacity magazines.
Suppose, the law allows 30 round magazines.
Suppose, there is a mass casualty shooting, say 30 killed, and we ban all magazines over 20 rounds.
Suppose, there is another mass casualty shooting, with only 20 killed. Would the gun controllers say that saving 10 lives is enough or would they want to ban all magazines over 10 rounds?
Where does it end?
Another question I have for gun control advocates. Has anyone noticed that the most vociferous supporters of, ahem, “sensible” gun control laws tend to have serious ethical and/or legal issues of their own? Clinton, Charles Rangel, Jesse Jackson Jr, fmr NY Assy speaker Sheldon Silver, who’s been sentenced to 12 yrs for corruption, Leeland Yee who was forced to resign from Congress to do time for..wait for it... GUN RUNNING. Oh, yeah remember Bernie Ward? He was gonna be the Rush Limbaugh of left wing talk radio. Guess what? He did time for kiddie porn. This is nothing new.One of the first gun control regs, the Sullivan Laws in NY rom 1911. What the gun grabbers don’t tell you is WHO those laws are named for.Big Tim Sullivan a Tammany Hall operative even more corrupt than both Clintons combined. He wanted to make the streets of NYC safer, for him and his cronies as well as the gangsters and muggers in his back pocket. Around 25 yrs ago the Gun Violence death clock was put up near Times Sq. It was funded by Robert Brennan, a junk bond dealing scam artist who makes Bernie Madoff look like Mother Theresa. He had just gotten out of fed prison for securities fraud and other such niceties. I’m sure he had a pragmatic reason for performing this “public service”. Hey, if I scammed all those old folks out of their life savings I too would be scared sh!tless is they, their kids or grandkids had easy access to firearms. Just sayin’..
The progressive is never sated in the advancement of his goal to rid us of our freedom and God given Liberties.
Every single letter of every single word of every single sentence of every single piece of legislation that attempts to regulate the keeping and bearing of arms is fundamentally and absolutely unconstitutional.
The government has ZERO power to regulate - the constitution is very plain on this.
I fear a government trying to take away my arms more that I do the prospect of a serial killer with a tommy gun.
The game ends with enormous pits filled with lime covered corpses. A state where only the police have guns is a police state, but since the left are too stupid to connect Bernie and Venezuela, trying to explain anything to them is a fool’s errand.
With knives & pointy sticks being next on the list.
Obama, Hillary, and Pelosi are sincere when they say they do not want to take away your guns. If you are a bona fide hunter, you will be allowed to own a bolt action hunting rifle, and a hunting shotgun. If you are a bona fide target shooter and are a member of a shooting club, you will be allowed to own a target rifle. If you are a bona fide action shooter (IPSC, etc.) then you will be allowed to own a handgun or semi-auto rifle or shotgun, so long as it is stored under lock and key at the gun club, not in the home.
You will pay for an annual license that will detail each firearm you own, and will have to renew that license periodically.
You will not be allowed to keep a handgun in the home, and you will not be allowed to own a shotgun or rifle with more than a 5 round capacity. (Exceptions may be made for bona fide competition shooters.)
This is the European and Australian model, and the non-gun owning gun control advocates truly believe that these are reasonable restrictions.
No, they don't want to take away all of your guns, just the ones they don't like you to have.
“How much gun control would be enough?”
I suspect he knows the answer to that. But the GUN GRABBERS are now smart enough to know that they have to warm the water slowly...with the objective to make it more and more difficult to buy and hold on to firearms. Then, once enough people are disarmed/unarmed, they swoop in for the kill, as they did in Australia.
Very often I will troll on left-wing and non-partisan sites saying how excited I am that Hillary will accomplish the dream of gun-grabbers, which is to remove all guns from people that cannot demonstrate a “professional need” for owning one (i.e., the 95% of the country that are not in military, law enforcement, or other types of security professions).
The answers I get back are VERY INTERESTING. There is the group (on our side) that supports gun ownership and has nothing good to say about Hillary (and plenty of bad things to say). Then there are the people that say things like: “Relax, Hillary will not take your gun away”. “You are an idiot, all Hillary wants is ‘common-sense gun safety legislation’”. And I’m not kidding about the second one - that is their new code-phrase for gun control “common-sense gun safety legislation”.
What is most interesting is that NO ONE says “Yep, we cannot wait to disarm you bastards”...even though they all think that. That is what makes them VERY DANGEROUS, they know what to NOT to say to accomplish their goals - we should NEVER yield an inch to them - and so far, believe it or not, Republicans have not.
