Hopefully a full Republican government can figure out a way to overturn this fear mongering nonsense.

that's nice, so hand guns kill more people. want to ban those?
gun owners live their lives in fear. it's a surprise they haven't all shot themselves.
No, they don't. People don't walk around with their finger on the trigger waiting for someone to violate.
Hand guns cause far more death than rifles, so yeah, if you're trying to take a stand against gun violence, that is where you'd look to ban weapons. Neither hand guns nor "assault" weapons should be banned.

You're either a c00n or a cac. Judging by your prepubescent voice and constant caping for Israel, I'll bet on the latter
Run a neg train on this fukkboy if you have any ounce of respect for yourself as a person of Afrikan descent please

it's not 1925 anymore, the game has changed so much that if an authoritarian government really wanted to fukk with your shyt, they could easily overpower you with your tetchy little assault rifle.

If you have an actual issue with gun violence your focus would be on handguns.
I don't get why people keep using this line of reasoning.
Why are you completely ignoring how Afghan farmers with rifles held off both the Soviet Union and America?
Did the take heavy casualties? Sure. Did Russia/America "win"? Not a chance.
Doesn't matter when the knee jerk reaction is "no" to everything.
You want access to everything because.
That's not good enough when people are being gunned down in the numbers they are.
It's time to stop enabling this mental illness.
