5 ways we know that yes, they want to ban guns and end the 2nd Amendment...

[Taz]

Actually, gun control works in other civilized countries. Maybe when we're civilized for real...

No it doesn't

Yes it does.

Then tell me why the murder rate in the UK today is not lower than it was before all their gun laws were passed

It's still very low, much lower than ours.

You didn't answer the question as usual

The UK gun laws did nothing to lower their murder rate

In one year, US - 9.369 murders with a gun (4th in the world), UK - 14. Now please, stfu.

Yes....they want to ban guns and they want to end the 2nd Amendment...how do we know? They keep telling us they want to ban guns and end the 2nd Amendment....

5 Facts Proving "They Are Coming For Your Guns" Is Not A Conspiracy Theory

1. The mainstream media is openly calling for the repeal of the Second Amendment
It is no secret that every time there are reports of a mass shooting, there are a number of politicians who openly call for gun control, but there has recently been an increase in media outlets joining the anti-gun bandwagon. The Miami Herald published an Op-Ed titled, “Repeal The Second Amendment—It’s Not A Crazy Idea.” Rolling Stone published an explanation on “Why It’s Time To Repeal The Second Amendment.” And USA Today stated, “Repeal The Second Amendment. It’s The Only Way Towards Real Change.”

------

2. Students are parroting the claims and using their platforms as victims of gun violence to push for a ban on guns
Parkland Shooting survivor David Hogg has become the face of the student activist movement against guns, and the demands are troubling. The students are openly supporting a ban on guns that have been deemed “assault rifles,” a ban on high-capacity magazines, a federal background check “on every gun sale,” increasing taxes on gun sales and raising the minimum age to own a gun to 21.

In a speech at a March For Our Lives rally, Stoneman Douglas student Delaney Tarr revealed that even if the students achieve individual bans, they will continue to push until the Second Amendment is fully dismantled. “We will take the big and we will take the small, but we will keep fighting. When they give us that inch, that bump stock ban, we will take a mile. We are not here for breadcrumbs. We are here for real change,” she said.
--------

3. Law Enforcement officials are also calling for a ban on guns—which means they would be the only ones with guns
It is no secret that a ban on guns would result in law enforcement officers and criminals being the only individuals who have guns. Daryl Fisher, a candidate for Buncombe County Sheriff in North Carolina, recently addressed the issue of how police would confiscate the firearms, and when proposed with the quote “you’ll have to pry my guns from my cold, dead hands,” he shrugged his shoulders and said “OK!”

I sure hope you're locked and loaded with that much paranoia.

Actually, gun control works in other civilized countries. Maybe when we're civilized for real...

A society that's actually civilized, has no problem with it's members possessing machine guns, rifles, shotguns, handguns, machetes, knives, etc...

Uncivilized societies--whose members are continuously on the brink of bloody savagery over the smallest of trivialities--are those that see civilian disarmament as a solution to mass murder in their streets.

Anti-rights advocates can now stop holding up these nations as civilized societies.

The consequences of gun control legislation are predictable; and have been predicted by the opponents of such legislation every time it's brought up. It is then fair to conclude that those consequences are the actual objective of such measures. Gun control works here... it works exactly as intended. I submit Columbine, Sandy Hook, Pulse, Parkland, etc. as evidence.

The targets of those atrocities were obeying the "common sense" gun laws governing the possession of such at those venues.

There is only one motive in the desire to see the targets of criminal violence undefended.

There is only one kind of person who desires to see the targets of criminal violence disarmed.

The people who desire to see the targets of criminal violence disarmed are the problem; they are the entire problem, and they are making their intentions clear.

Arrest them, prosecute them, and imprison them.. .and all the rest who would see the targets of their violence disarmed and undefended--and you'll see the end of these atrocities.

In one year, US - 9.369 murders with a gun (4th in the world), UK - 14.

No...actually, it doesn't. Like Britain....they banned and confiscated guns, and their gun crime rate is going up, not down, their violent crime rate is going up, not down...

More Americans now own and carry guns.....and our gun murder rate went down 49%, our gun crime rate went down 75%, our violent crime rate went down 72%....please explain how this happened...

It’s still a long way from what our gun violence is.

They were promised that gun violence would decrease if they gave up their guns....guns they did not use to commit crime. What they got in return? More gun violence and more violent crime.....

What did we get as more Americans own and actually carry guns? Gun murder, down 49%.....gun crime down 75%....violent crime down 72%.....please explain how that happened......

Their gun violence rate is way less than here, look it up.

They just have more knife violence per capita than we do.

They have more assaults per capita than we do
More rapes per capita than we do

Restrictions are not reasonable because they only affect law abiding citizens. Criminals do not give a shit about restrictions

There are laws and restrictions and regulations on pretty much everything. That's how we do things in a dynamic, complicated civilization.

The question if finding a proper equilibrium with which enough people can agree. Those who want absolutism, on one end or the other, simply are not thinking reasonably.
