The next time I hear the defense, "We don't want to take your guns away..." [View all]

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.
