Guns are always a controversial issue, but there are plenty of reasons why we should consider hanging up our holsters for good. Let's look at 18 of them. Of course, this doesn't mean you have to give up your guns; we're just giving you some reasons that might make you think about things differently.

Nope. I can't say that with a straight face.
Even if there’s no danger, I enjoy shooting them, I enjoy admiring the craftsmanship in a classic old 22, playing with an old 38, holding my SAA 45 while I watch Bonanza.
Yeah, go f*** yourself.
My cold dead hands.
Needless to say, this some pretty sophomoric bullshyte!
Well said.
My thoughts exactly.
No need for guns when we have the Sturmabteilung keeping order in the streets and free transportation in cattle cars to take us to government-run vacation camps...
The lies we have been told over the years...
1962 We ONLY want to register handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
1964, We ONLY want to register ALL firearms, not ban them.
1968 We ONLY want to register all guns, and ban the import of foreign Saturday Night Specials, and 5-shot bolt action army surplus rifles! (they got the ban).
1970, We ONLY want to ban small American handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
1976 We ONLY want to ban ALL handguns! Rifles will not be affected!
1981, Actress Lee Grant on Good Morning America (ABC) screams...”THE NRA IS A RIFLE ORGANIZATION! THEY SHOULD GIVE UP THEIR HANDGUNS AND THEY CAN KEEP THEIR RIFLES!”
1984, they came for the rifles.
In 1994, when they thought they had a permanent ban on “As-s-s-ault Rifles” did they shut the lights of and go home? NO! They immediately found a new target “The 50 cal rifle that can take down an aircraft with ONE SHOT!”
They will never be satisfied till all are banned.
1988,Josh Sugarmann, of the National Council to Ban Handguns tells how to ban rifles.
“Assault weapons’ menacing looks, coupled with the public’s confusion over
fully-automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons
—anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine
gun— can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on
these weapons.”
– Josh Sugarmann
Gun owners now know that any time we negotiate with those who want to ban guns, we are up against a stacked deck.
Relinquish?
I think it means get out your guns and clean and lube them and reload all the magazines.
So you can start by giving back the lead.
Bump!
They can dream of that. We will Not Comply.
Get bent Andy. If anything there are millions of reasons that Joe Biden has welcomed in, to get a weapon if you do not already have one.
Sounds like I need to go get more guns and ammo ASAP.
My answer is NO.
OK, I went through the clickbait slideshow BS so you don’t have to.
