Too bad, the govt taught me to shoot very well at 17. Spent 19 months going everywhere armed with a full magazine in the rifle.
Some habits are impossible to kick. You want to disarm me, come and do it the way you would have had to 45 years ago.
You grow up in late adolescence being armed and ready to defend, you never are willing to give that up.

You’d be surprised what a determined person can do with a pointed stick.
Or a rock.

The gun genie escaped the bottle back around 1345 AD. He will NOT go back in. Guns are so easy to make the ancient Romans could have done it if they had the secret of the powder.

There are close to 300 million firearms in the USA. Let's assume an average fair market value of between $200 to $400 per firearm. That would be $60,000,000,000 to $120,000,000,000. I am sure that the US Treasury can fund that without raising taxes or cutting any social service programs. (/sarcasm) Oh you mean just take them without paying for them? Hmm concentrated in about a third of the homes in the country some armed better than the police? What could possible go wrong.

Crud, I was hoping she would get to just how this ban of guns would be implemented.
What a letdown.

Nothing gives a person a greater sense of responsibility; or a greater reverence for life, than knowing that you have close at hand, the tools and ability to utterly destroy that life.
I have been armed since 12 years old; in 1968 I was given a military upgrade in arms and ability, in 1973 I relinquished that up grade and went back to the arms I carried as a child, with the occasional legal upgrade I purchased as an adult.
I will not surrender willingly those arms or abilities I worked so hard to earn.
I have never killed anyone or anything I did not intend to kill; for either defense, or to put food on the table.

If they can assure me 100% that they have removed all the guns from the criminals and then the government and THEN from all the other governments the the people overseas who hate us.... and GUARANTEE ME THAT THE ABOVE GROUPS ARE 100% DISARMED AND WILL REMAIN SO.
ONLY THEN will I willingly give up my guns as a law abiding citizen.
But they cannot guarantee me that.

Sorry - even then.
Was watching some ad about a TV show set in the future where all guns are outlawed. So now it is some sword fighting ninjas that rule.
I told my daughter - See, the ones with years of special training and skills would rule over us. Like the old saying “God made man, Mr. Colt made them equal”.

Feeble Schmaltz Bovine has a posse. That pajama boy thinks she’s sexy. She loves taking selfies, that’s for sure.
Self absorbed, maybe? Thinks her opinion is supreme over all others, maybe?

Its time to ban liberals. Yes, all of them. At least she had the good sense to move to Canada. Now if all American libs left the country, what a bright world this would be.
