stop bringing up the founding fathers in gun arguments

[patriot1776]

The debate has become so skewed by the two party system (like every other issue in this country) that we are now arguing for the ability of law-abiding citizens to own the most basic form of functional modern weaponry known to man: a semi automatic rifle. We're not talking about how it be illegal for them to own fully automatic guns, or grenade launchers. We're down to literally restricting the weaponry of the law-abiding American citizenry to kissing bolt-action antiques (except for the rich who can afford to buy bodyguards that are permitted to own the weapons us plebs aren't). This is ridiculous.

The liberal approach, as is generally the case, is an incremental increase in regulation. They will propose major changes like banning and confiscation of all semi-automatic weapons without ever being serious. In turn, it lets them 'settle' on smaller restrictions that they really want like magazine capacity caps and a national registry.

Then, when it happens again (since they aren't fixing the real problem), they will cause another uproar and do the same thing. Incrementally piece by piece they will try to achieve their goal of disarming the people. This is the way that these things historically work.

You paltry liberals smile while they take away your liberties and then you thank the for the privilege. Pathetic.

As has been proven on this forum a few times now, restricting guns does not reduce overall violent crime.

Actually no. ITT there was a wide array of statistical analysis that support that hypothesis, but it is far from proven. There are many other factors that can tie into the equation, but there is a far amount of evidence that support this claim.

wow, that post was so redundant. That is what happens when you write a sentence and get distracted and have another conversation and try to rapidly finish a thought. My apologies.

"During MSNBC’s “The Cycle” on Monday, MSNBC co-host Touré said Americans are putting themselves in danger, not protecting themselves, by owning guns. He later said only President Barack Obama can “save us from the gun epidemic.”

"Watching" anything for news is pretty silly these days.
