If your gun is used in a crime, you should be charged with a felony.

143. Politics this blind is self-defeating.

Most people with guns use them, if they use them at all, to hunt. Animals to eat, btw. You have no conception how rural people augment their incomes with gardens and hunting.

There is a fundamental lack of justice in your attitudes. I know there are many who hold similar ones, but I think you are all either totally ignorant of reality for tens of millions or just willfully ignorant.

You types, more than any other, have handed Congress over to the GOP.

Every time you push something like this, you are fueling the belief among millions that the liberal leadership would be very happy if they just ate shit and died. That is not an exaggeration.

What they see out of such rhetoric is:
1) Bloomberg will still have his squad of bodyguards with what amounts to machine guns, because this sort of thing does not apply and never has applied to "important people".

2) Criminals will still have guns.

3) The law-abiding person who shoots a deer to feed his family won't.

4) Terrorists will.

In the south, this is also a very emotional issue for many black people, because gun control in the south has its roots in racism.
