Here’s a couple of the reasons:

—Every traffic stop or house call could be less risky for our police officers if there were fewer guns

[But is each house call less risky for dogs?]

—Strengthens Democracy

[Does it strengthen the 2A?]

"I'm convinced that if I give up all my guns, the criminals will, too, and the government will NEVER become tyrannical.
Nope. I can't say that with a straight face."

Exactly.

The only reason to give up a gun is if you’re upgrading it to something like a phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range.

They will never be satisfied till all are banned.

Let's expand that to socialism at large. They will never be satisfied ever. It's the totalitarian impulse in them. There will always be new frontiers of power and control for them. They are mentally ill and drunk from what power they have already.

I’ll reply to that by writing NO x “I don’t even know how many anymore”. I should take an inventory sometime. Seems like they keep showing up all over the place.

#19 and the main reason they want guns gone. Less effective civilian resistance after DemocRATS ban the Constitution and impose a dictatorship.

Reduced Police Misconduct - perhaps on the street level, but not the state level. Because the nation would become a police state in the process of effecting this nonsense.

Strengthens Democracy - I’m absolutely sure of this, but we need to have a strengthened Republic. It’s the same old saw to confuse people as to the meaning of their form of government. Convince people that majority rule is the best of all possible worlds.

For all, just owning guns and ammo isn’t enough. Each of us needs to have the will to line up the ENEMY in our sights, pull the trigger and SEND THEM TO HELL.

Too funny. I believe every person in that lame slideshow was a cracker, but when I see what occurs in the real world it’s usually one of the protected class shooting guns sideways.

I posted this https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/firearm-violence-advisory.pdf about an hour ago on the https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/4246853/posts 23#23

Not surprising but it does look like MSN used it as its source of inspiration.
