The American people had no idea of what they were signing up for with Obama and his friends, but here you are making people understand how wrong they were when they signed up.[
So you support this effort to take guns away of the only people that need them and don't use them. I see no movement to take them out of the hands of the real perps. I only see action against the law-abiding citizen. They figure if they take our guns that will make it harder for the criminal to get them. And progressives thought in 1920 that prohibition would end alcohol use too. Look how well that ended up.
Again- most gun deaths are sucides and domestic arguments. 80% of murder victims know their killers. This kid who just killed his little brother wasn't a hardened criminal. He was a kid who had access to a gun who shouldn't have.
Incidently, it was conservatives who pushed prohibition, for largely religious reasons. The reason it didn't work is that people had no idea what they were signing up for. Prohibition was pushed as a measure to keep those nasty immigrants- especially the Germans during WWI - in their place. Because they were all hanging out in taverns. Mr. and Mrs. WASP had no idea it would apply to them.
