(65,616 posts)The 'anti-gun' laws screed and the 'gun grabber' paranoia is overwhelming and I had no idea so many of my fellow DUers felt so insecure or where put into a position of vulnerability that they risked death or injury! Your point and the overall message are at odds.
Show me one person that is coming to take your .357 away from you! Name one or an organization heading in your direction to take your gun. None, never.
The ISSUE is not about your gun! So many need to stop taking their own personal emotional situation and applying it to everyone else! It is getting sad in here. The issue is did you need an M249 mounted on the floor next to your bed? NO. Did you need a 50 round clip bullpup? NO.
This is about the insane level of firepower available today to the public in America. NOT about 'gun grabbers'. There will never be a day when someone cannot go to Guns-R-Us and buy a pistol, rifle or shotgun.
I will bet the entire 2nd amendment on that.
Gun control means a well regulated population that is entrusted with lethal machines. We can dial back on RPGs. We don't need one in every other household.
You didn't.
