I'm gonna punch something.
Yeah, I fucking want to take your guns away, because you have shown over and over and over again that you cannot handle them.
Yeah, I want to take AR15s away.
Hell yeah I want to take semiautomatics away.
These things have NO PLACE in a civilized society. If you need an AR15 to shoot a deer (with no body armor on) perhaps you are a fucking loser and should not be entrusted with a killing machine.
Hell YES, I want to take your guns away.
And another thing I hate about this? It allows their side to set the narrative once again. We should not be on the defensive on this issue; we should be shouting that we DO want to remove these killing machines from circulation. Maybe if we do, tiny children will have the chance to live and to grow up.

(5,841 posts)Hell yes, we want to take killing machines away. We HAD an assault weapons ban and it worked. Keep your damn pistols and single-shot shotguns but hell yes we want to take killing machines off the streets.

(4,845 posts)We don't want to take all guns away. But some guns just aren't for civilian use. They have no place in the modern era we live in. So yes, lets take away those guns.
You ban mass murder weapons like nuclear weapon, bio weapons from civilian use. Why do you think a semi-automatic weapon that is meant to kill many people in combat is meant for civilian use?
I am all for having them at a gun range or something (with permits) where you can go crazy with them. But there is no reason any 18 years old could walk in a shop and buy them.
