They were talking anti-gun because they want to do something. Most people who want gun control aren't doing it to line their pockets they are doing it because they truly feel like it will help make our country safer.Not really, the currant proposition is to outlaw bump stocks. That doesn't take guns away from responsible citizens. The other major issue has been for background check measures. Those don't take guns away from responsible citizens, it keeps takes them away from mentally unstable people and criminals which i'd hope you a good thing.Fine, but I don't really care about those people. I am a gun owner. I'm fine with gun control measures that help public safety. I don't want to take guns away from responsible law abiding citizens.
That's all new gun laws would do.
I actually thought we were doing that now!
If everything wasn't so political in the US, I might agree with you. But if and when Democrats regain power of the federal government, do you really trust them to determine who is mentally capable of owning a firearm and who isn't?
If we gave them that kinds of power, they would consider most people mentally unfit to own a weapon. Look at what DumBama did! He stopped people on SS who were being cared for from owning firearms; like we had so many problems with SS people robbing banks and mass killings. Or their proposal to prohibit people on the No Fly List from owning firearms. When was the last time we had a firearm incident with a person on the No Fly List?
Democrats can and will make anything political if it promotes their agenda. The bodies in Vegas weren't even cold yet before they started their anti-gun talk.
My Lord, they have you hook, line, and sinker, don't they? Let me explain to you what this is all about:
Democrats are control freaks. They want to manipulate every aspect of your life. They need power to do this, and their main groups of power are government dependents and victims.
So they finally are able to disarm law abiding citizens. That means the only armed people would be the police and the criminals. When you have a society of armed criminals and disarmed citizens, you create more victims--just what the Democrats want.
When it gets to that point, the disarmed victims need somebody to fight BIG CRIME. That would require a bigger government.
Democrat leaders don't care if we have guns, what they care about is that we can use those guns for self-defense. Because if we can defend ourselves, then who need Democrats?
