Do you support the confiscation of all currently legal firearms? [View all] ZombieHorde Apr 2013 OP

Some have said as much right here on the DU. I wonder, though.... NYC_SKP Apr 2013 #1

Are the firearms they use on the job privately owned? ZombieHorde Apr 2013 #2

The poll question is a bit vague in any event. NYC_SKP Apr 2013 #3

I mentioned "privately owned" in the text, but I will add your imput. nt ZombieHorde Apr 2013 #5

Is the edit more clear? nt ZombieHorde Apr 2013 #6

Oh yes much better, thanks. NYC_SKP Apr 2013 #9

Where are all the DUers who were wanting all guns banned and collected? n-t Logical Apr 2013 #20

Strange...... I think I only saw one such comment. nt rdharma Apr 2013 #21

They're cowering in their "safe haven," unwilling or unable to make convincing arguments in favor... slackmaster Apr 2013 #22

There are only a handful when it comes to handguns. A lot more when it comes to assault weapons. n hack89 Apr 2013 #29

Which is odd because handguns kill many more people. n-t Logical Apr 2013 #33

Logic and gun control don't always go together. nt hack89 Apr 2013 #35

Here's one kudzu22 Apr 2013 #32

Including assault weapons? The present number in circulation is OK? hack89 Apr 2013 #30

I don't support the confiscation of anything tularetom Apr 2013 #27

Of course criminals will not voluntarily surrender their firearms. ... spin Apr 2013 #37
