remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

1. The reason is $$$$$$$$$ and corruption by the GOP...

Same as usual.

2. Before there's a flame war here ...

Certain deadly weapons were banned in the past, think Frank Nitti and The Untouchables.

But the gun lobby owns legislators, holding a metaphorical gun to their heads, if not a real one. Big BUCK$$$$$$$$$$$

The NRA was inanely corrupt and conned out of its undershorts by a Russian agent, who was convicted and somehow released or exchanged and last time I checked, was in the Duma, but no change.

3. Because of the GOP. We need a Democratic President, House, and filibuster proof majority in the senate.

4. your periodic reminder that the nra got lots of rubles from putler.

6. Some DUers are advocating that the rest of us consider getting guns
