Ban free speech while you’re at it!

They will get around to it.

But first things first

I never have owned a gun. I shot a .22 rifle and skeet gun one time in Boy Scouts, and I don’t know how this works, but I’m in. Well, just to be honest, I have shot a gun a couple of other times, on chance occasions. Anyway, whenever I read some article, I’m all in on the NRA side. I guess it doesn’t take much to make a warrior.

It is truly remarkable how delusional they are.

Civilian firearm ownership, a case could be made (I suppose) that a ban and confiscation was workable during say, the 1930s up thru tye 1950s. The demographics of the nation were mostly homogenous as well as the basic civil and religious background. People also most importantly, had trust in the basic government entities. That is long gone.

Everything has been upended, on purpose, by design, whether culturally and religiously and the number of firearms is huge. No sane person would give up their firearms at this point, it would be akin to suicide. No matter what laws are passed. That ship has sailed.

Leftists don’t hide who they are at this point and it’s pretty clear they are the sociopathic monsters they accuse everyone else being. “We Hate You and Everything You Believe In, and Want You to Die; I get the message loud and clear. Really. They don’t hate guns, that is a Myth. Don’t be fooled.

They hate YOU.

My oath of service had no expiration date. I will never be disarmed.

Ditto. If my blood is to fertilize the ground for future liberty, so it will be. Liberals and their sycophants can FOAD.

So much disinformation in one article.

The very premise is a logical fallacy.

Who cares how many people are murdered with guns? What matters is the total murder rate.

If that had been done in 1775, the Revolutionary War never would have happened, and the country would still be colonies.

Nothing new. I remember back in 1970, GUNS MAGAZINE ran an article about some anti-gun adds to show what we were up against. All the adds DEMANDED the abolition of the right to own firearms.

Eventually gun owners are going to get sick and tired of more laws. Then what happens?

><><

They’ll ignore them.

To end gun deaths, we need to ban all civilian guns.

Keep your powder dry, FRiends. These morons are demanding Civil War II.

Time to ban stupidity and ignorance of history. Have these idiots never heard of the Holocaust?

Now’s a great time for a gun abolition movement.

They’d have no opposition. :)

“If my blood is to fertilize the ground for future liberty, so it will be.”

Make the other son of a bitch die for his people’s republic. Yes, I did just assume gender, even though their combat arm (while extent) will probably whiff more of diesel than soy.

“we need to ban all civilian guns”
Funny, that’s exactly what Hitler said.
Never mind the 2ND amendment. This right
is pre constitution. The natural right
to defend ones’ self. Bears have claws
and teeth, snakes have fangs. Guns
equalize the playing field. Aggressors
have no right to be more powerful
than my ability to defend myself
against said aggression.

There is a way to ban all guns. It’s called a constitutional amendment. Get it through congress with 2/3 of both the house and senate votes and then get 34 states to agree. Good luck with that.
