So What Do Liberals Actually Want To Do About Guns?

Do something about guns.

In his statement on the Charleston shooting, President Barack Obama called on congressional leaders to “come to grips” with their positions on guns, because “it is in our power to do something about it.” This is a refrain we hear after every gruesome mass shooting. Today, Eugene Robinson writes that “the one thing about which there can be no debate is that he had a gun.” The only way we can change things is to hold “presidential candidates of both parties accountable” to do something about them.

Ok. What?

How about mandatory minimums at the federal level?

5 yrs. for unlawful possession of a firearm.

10 yrs. for use in commission of a crime to run consecutively.

No plea bargain.

They want their soldiers to use them to shoot dissidents.

[WKUHilltopper]

Yep. Its what totalitarians do.

[Daveinyork]

One of the basic tenets of the left in the West, as noted by Ayn Rand, is no violence against armed foreigners, unlimited violence against unarmed citizens.

How about mandatory minimums at the federal level?

Be careful what you wish for. Soon enough you will have 5 year min sentences for paperwork errors.

All of those alphabet soup govt agency SWAT groups have to do something to justify their existences.

[NorthMountain]

WTF is all that about?

Murder is a crime. Dead is dead, regardless of the weapon (if any) used.

Aggravated assault is a crime. Does the nature of the deadly weapon really matter?

You’re accepting the leftist meme that crime with a gun is somehow exceptionally heinous. Nonsense!

[Paladin2]

Hammers looking for nails...

[NorthMountain]

BTW, the answer to the headline question is quite simple.

Liberals want to take all of YOUR guns (yes, YOU PERSONALLY), and force you to grovel before them.

At gunpoint. Their guns.

Failing that, they’ll settle for killing you. With guns. Their guns.

[GregoTX]

If a liberal does not like guns.... they should not buy one.

If a liberal thinks it is wise to walk around defenseless and unable to protect himself, then he has the freedom to do so.

[longtermmemmory]

imagine what liberals would do without jury trials?

or even trials?

[ryan71]

An article the other day about “gun control” immediately referenced Australia who banned guns. That’s what they mean by “gun control”.

[Navy Patriot]

How about mandatory minimums at the federal level?

Yeah, like 20 years for withdrawing an amount less than $10,000 from your own bank account?

[Marko413]

I suspect they would want all guns to be given to government enforcers to control the public.

[riri]

Well, they aren't liberals, they are leftists.

What do they want to do? Use history as your guide.

[Frangibled]

It's not the guns. It's not the flag. It's the drugs! The kid was wearing a Gold's Gym shirt in one of the photos too. Was it Gold's Gym? Gold's Gym must go out of business. You know, next after the south has surrendered to this Political Correctness on the Confederate Flag, the American Flag will be next. Wait and see, liberals don't want Stars and Stripes to fly either. Incrementalism, one step at a time. If allowed, there is a link here to explain the drugs that are responsible.

Unfair! We're not supposed to ask liberals what they would do about something. We're just supposed to keep their little grievance industries going.

Murder is a crime. Dead is dead, regardless of the weapon (if any) used.

We seem to have already forgotten about the German pilot who murdered over 150 innocent people with an airplane.

[MortMan]

Possession isn’t the issue. It is use in a crime.

Double mandatory sentencing for use of a weapon in a criminal manner.

And constitutional carry.
