Why are liberals still in the mindset that banning the private ownership?
of firearms is going to stop crime?
A criminal, by definition, does not follow the law. How is that going to make the country safer if we take away firearms from people who have not done anything?
Even if you make firearms 100% illegal everywhere, criminals are going to find other ways to kill and harm people. Just the other day I read a story of how a guy went on a rampage in the UK with a sword.
Why aren't we also outlawing automobiles, kitchen knives, cigarettes, alcohol, airplanes... These things can all be used as weapons.
To say that these have legitimate uses and that firearms do not is a gross lie. Firearms put food on the table and defend the home and our lives.

In the democrats defense, not all democrats are anti-gun only the cry baby bed wetting liberals are anti-gun, and believe in being politically correct, those are the one we hate. Gun laws only apply to the law abiding citizens, not the criminals, and the liberals are far to stupid to understand that. Murder is illegal, but criminals don't care they think the law only applies to law abiding citizens as the liberals have lead them to believe.
@ Funny. Mike 2.0 was not talking about all democrats he was referring to those cry baby bed wetting liberals like Chuck Shumerr, Dianne Feinstein and other like them.
@ Kari. Tell us Kari, why are you liberals so clueless? Only Idiots make stupid statement like you made here.
@ Vito1964.So you refuse to agree with our fore fathers that every peaceful citizens should have a RIGHT to keep and bear arms. Why is that, have you been listening to far to many cry baby bed wetting liberals and have started to believe the lies they put out there? Where in the Second Amendment does it say not one is allowed to own an AK 47?
@ Patrick4.Why do you mouth off like all liberals, but as all liberals you refuse to post any proof of your lame belief that just about everything Mike 2.0 said was is totally ridiculous and untrue? It seems if you are man enough to make such a false claim you would at least have enough guts to back up what you say with any kind of proof. Oh, I forgot you liberals never post any truth or back up any of your lies because there is NO proof of your liberal lies.
@ grumpy. Oh sir you have it all wrong, the GOP is made up of correct thinking people like the members of the NRA, the NRA does not own the republican party, the correct thinking Americans own the republican party, the idiots and wrong thinking people own the liberals. Just look at some of the stupid laws the liberals make. There never has been a gun law passed that reduced crime. As Thomas Jefferson once said: "The laws that forbid the carrying of arms .... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.
Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants. They serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." Something even a liberals should be able to understand, or at least be able to figure out if they had at least two brain cells to rub together.

Yep, banning a .50 caliber rifle is the same as banning all hunting rifles, I see you've figured out how that 'attack' on your freedom is serious. True a "Saturday Night Special" ban is an attempt at withholding the right to bear arms from the majority of Americans who would never even want to hold one of those cheaply made pieces of junk that were used for gang murders and crimes. Excellent logic! Your rant would be more useful if it hadn't been composed of pure silliness and exaggeration purposely meant to defraud the public. If anyone in America wants a weapon, they can get that weapon, today. Providing they're not a felon, or insane, of course... did you want to include those restrictions, also? How barbaric of society to deny the insane a chance to defend themselves! They should be allowed AK-47's (in full auto mode) to protect themselves against that scary monster that appears over people with brown eyes' left shoulder. Freedom Man! Freedom!

This is not the reason why they wish to ban firearms.
The 2nd amendment was put into place because government was given power by the people it governed. If the people in power were unruly, the citizens had the authority and firepower to remove their leaders from office and replace them.
Liberal leaders wish to take away the citizens ability to revolt against them. This way they can commit harm to the country and nobody can stop them from doing so. Think China.

the National Socialists of Germany banned gun ownership 100% and the Holocaust followed!!!

We have accepted completely that the constitution requires private ownership of guns. I hope you get lots of them for Christmas.

why does the NRA own the republican party? to push their own agenda? an uzi or AK-47 in every hand.
the second amendment is so far from reality that is is almost funny. which militia do you belong to? one in montana, probably.
- Vito1964Lv 71 decade ago
Owning a firearm is a constitutional right and given that, I support it.
However, having people carry them around all the time is just asking for trouble.

You should watch "Cam and Company" on NRA news. They talk about this kind of thing frequently.

Why do you think all liberals think the same? We are not clones, we think on our feet, but we don't form conclusions about other people based on what the FOX news bozos say.

Hello, I'm a liberal, and I don't believe in banning guns at all. Therefore, you put words in my mouth. People always do that to me :(
