The focus is guns because the government fears them in the hands of free citizens. That’s it, nothing else.

If they were concerned about violence itself, they’d recognize that even without guns tragedies like the 1927 Bath Schoolhouse destruction can happen.

Violence? Why the DoJ and the administration encourage it - when it is black-on-white. To the liberals and Democrats, that’s okay. Space to destroy, vent off some racial steam. Knockout/kill a few polar bears.

There is no such thing as GUN VIOLENCE. There is HUMANBEING VIOLENCE. Guns are just one of many, many, ways that humans commit their violence. Be honest or be gone.....

“If you come for our guns, millions will die.”

And the numbers are on our side.

I am so f’ing sick of hearing about how 0’care and now queer marriage is now the law so get over it.
So why is it so hard for the commie press to remember that the first and second amendments to the Constitution have been the law for over two hundred years, so get over it.

Liberalism (economic destruction and things like banning of DDT) and Marxism (Communism, war, and genocide) are responsible for far more deaths (probably by a magnitude of tens or hundreds of thousands) than deaths by legal firearms owners.

Yet these concepts are openly revered by the people in power in Washington and around the world.

***Chicago is a gun-free paradise.***

So was the church in Charleston.

Do you realize that in the 1600 and 1700s that parishoners were REQUIRED to take guns to church in New
England? It was the law.

Actually, thanks to a Leftist press, the US has largely chosen to be blind with respect to the countless yearly incidents of firearms-related self-defense enabled by firearms ownership.
