How does this announcement make you feel?
What is with these "gun free" zones? Are you safer when only criminals and terrorists have guns?
THINK ABOUT IT
So, using that logic, we should have all agreed that gun-free zones do no good a LONG time ago.this happened yesterday about 20 mins from where I live - The only fatality was the "good guy" with a gun - lot of good this "gun happy zone" did
1 man dead, 1 arrested after shootout with Neenah police
AFAIK, there's only one poster on the entire board who's "opposed to guns."
You might want to reframe your question.

If you want to quibble about semantics, it isn't the question you want reframed, but rather the phrase in the title of the OP. "Opposed to guns" is merely shorthand for "in favor of federal restrictions regarding ownership of guns."
For those of you who favor such restrictions, why don't you own up to this position and explain exactly what restrictions you have in mind?
What guarantee is there that the left will not confiscate ALL guns, if given the chance?AFAIK, there's only one poster on the entire board who's "opposed to guns."

If that's what you meant, that's what you should have said.
What guarantee is there that you won't reword it again if you don't get the answers you want?

How would that happen, exactly?

THINK ABOUT IT
Without at all wishing this actually happen, perhaps some day a radical of some stripe will venture into the "Deep South" and haul off shooting people "left and right." Then we can find out if all those gun toting Southerners -- the ones with the gun rack mounted in the back window of their pickup truck, several of whom are never more than a few hundred yards away -- actually use their guns to do something about it before the cops arrive.
Let's just see how much vigilante justice they exact...I suspect it'd be neither more nor less than we've seen in other parts of the country. Oh wait, that's already happened. Was the outcry in the wake of those events, "We have guns, so we feel safe?" That wasn't what I heard....
And such legislation is exactly where in either the House or Senate – moreover, no one seeks to 'confiscate' guns, the notion is ridiculous.How would that happen, exactly?
1. Federal notification of all gun purchases, to ensure compliance with Terror Watch List.
2. Additional federal restrictions on gun purchases.
3. Federal registration of "assault weapons."
4. Expanded definitions of assault weapons, to include "semi-automatic" weapons.
5. Complete inclusion of all remaining guns.
6. Punitive taxation (and investigation) of gun ownership.
7. Requirement to prove need for a gun.
8. Confiscation of guns from non-approved (non-law enforcement) owners.
