If there were only two guns in the entire world, I’d want to have one of them. And I wouldn’t mind having both.

Whoever wrote this, assuming it wasn’t satire, can go ESAD.

Mary Apurong should give up expressing her tyrannous opinions.

We are on the verge of a full commie takeover. It’s a known fact that giving up guns in a totalitarian regime means death by the millions. Russia, China, Germany and Cambodia come to mind. The end result of our giving up our guns would be no different than what happened in those countries.

And it’s a known fact that taking guns away from the law abiding citizenry does not take the guns away from the criminals.

And it’s a known fact that those elites wanting to take our guns own them themselves and/or have armed protection.

This idea is so stupid it hurts.

Mary should have thought this thru before putting it to print for the world to see.

Leftists should consider giving up breathing.

In addition to reducing CO2, it would realize all 18 of the other benefits outlined in this article!

Why even post this garbage and give the author more visibility? The stupid does burn.

Opposition to gun control is freedom.

The author might be taken more seriously if it weren’t for the lessons of Prohibition.

Back in the 1910s do-gooders made a strong case for the prohibition of alcohol. Alcohol caused such misery! There was much truth in that statement. So alcohol was prohibited.

What was the result? Law-abiding citizens had no alcohol. But anyone who was willing to skirt the rules could have all the alcohol they wanted, and more.

Substitute “firearms” for “alcohol” in the above, and you will get the exact same story. The 2A aside, banning or surrendering firearms just won’t work in practice.

The law-abiding citizens will have no guns. The thugs and the hoodlums will have all the guns they need.

"Why Americans Should Consider Giving Up Their Guns"

If the misdministration outlaws gun ownership, only criminals and democrats will own guns.
