Why do you liberals want to get rid of guns?

you may not have a gun but a psycho does, dont you want to protect yourself?

if someone broke into my home i would want a full auto weapon.

Update:

lol i agree, murder is illegal but does that stop someone who wants to murder someone?

Update 2:

nah im not a moron just very protective, what if that asshole broke into my home with a full auto weapon iron plague? oooh im sure my pistol would work so well.

Update 3:

democratic politicians want to get rid of guns its been an agenda of the left for a long time, i dont need to give an example its everywhere, *cough*jason whitlock*cough*bob costa*cough*

Update 4:

    When the 2nd amendment was written "arms" referred to muskets that fired once and you had to take a couple minutes to reload for a second shot. In the spirit of the constitution and the intentions of the founding fathers, ALL guns are considered legal, as long as they are only guns that are single shot "arms". Any gun that can hold more than one bullet at a time should be made illegal.

    Give me the quote from any Democrat in Congress or the President where they talk about laws to get rid of all guns,

    You can't do it and you know it. Which is why, I'm guessing you won't come back and retract your false statement or provide proof that you are correct.

    Update: Bob Costas is not a lawmaker. See, you've proven that you have a deficiency becsuse you failed to respond to what I said. You changed it. And yes, you DO need to provide examples of LAWMAKERS who have suggested such a thing, much less sponsored an actual bill.

    As a conservative and a gun owner, allow me to say that you are a f*cking moron.

    NOBODY needs a fully automatic weapon to handle someone that has broke in to their home, that is one of the last types of weapons you would want in that situation.

    *EDIT* If you have ever fired a fully automatic weapon you would know that that is not the weapon you would want in that situation. And, if you actually knew how to shoot, the pistol would be work VERY well. I hope, for the safety of your family and neighbors that you don't actually own any guns.

    I don't really think people need full automatic 7.62 AK-47's. Also, I think there should be strcter rules and restrictions on buying a gun, but nothing extreme.

    I don't want to get rid of guns - but I do want sensible restrictions and regulations applied to gun ownership

    And no I have never wanted a gun - and somehow I and my family have survived without one.

    I don't need "full-auto" or even semi-auto to defend myself or my home. If my 12 guage does not discourage your psycho, 5 in the chest from my .44 should. The point is to make it more difficult for mass shootings to occur, not easier.

    "All of them were hoping their child would be found OK. But when they gave out the actual death toll, they realized their child was gone," Weiss said.

    He recalled the reaction of the brother of one of the victims.

    "They told a little boy it was his sister who passed on," Weiss said. "The boy's response was, `I'm not going to have anyone to play with.'"

    Banning guns will totally work, because criminals are known to follow restrictions and laws.
