No accounting of telling you and the other brainwashed, party-line puppets will believe that Democrats do not want to take away your guns. You're going to continue believing what you WANT to believe.
I have carried an assault rifle into battle, know what they are for and what they can do, and believe that there is no positive civilian use for them-BUT, I support responsible gun ownership that includes reasonable provisions on legal ownership of these weapons.
It should not be an issue for anyone unless you fully support children being massacred in their schools and churches, or even yourself while walking into a grocery store for a bag of chips.
The US already has gun restrictions on the books: when was the last time you saw someone walking down the street with a Thompson submachine gun? If you want to own an automatic weapon then you should be required to have a Federal Firearms license. So if you want to own an AR-15, AK, or similar rifle, then what is wrong about being required to have a Federal Firearms license?
Selling/buying weapons without background checks is nonsensical. Straw purchases of weapons is foolish, and most of those purchases are made in red states. Frankly, I'm perfectly fine with you folks killing one another as long as you don't draw down on me, my family and my friends-and there is currently no way to ensure that doesn't happen.
And one last thing-which is something that you'll never believe until it happens, if you think that once the Republicans consolidate their fascist powers that they will not come for your weapons, then you really don't have the sense that should be required to own them in the first place.....
