    Steel exists. No law can change that.

And I will also point out that there are many ways to kill lots of people that do not required firearms, the man that blew up his RV in downtown in the middle of the might could have waited for rush hour dozens would have died had he done so, and never forget OK City, hundreds died. But yes go ahead and focus on AR's which is odd, since handguns are the real weapon of choice when it comes to mass shootings, why aren't you go after them, hmmm
    If you paid attention, I don’t just focus on ARs. While they are designed to produce maximum damage, I talk about all gun deaths. All 43,000 of them. All due to a completely optional instrument as far as a modern society goes.

    I’m still waiting for any of you to refute my claim that there are too many guns, too easily accessible by too many people who should never have them.

    All you people do is try to divert to vehicles, bombs, knives, etc. Those are not the problem, are they?

    Let's say that all guns disappear overnight. Then what?

    An absurd notion, but I’ll play.

    Shootings of all sorts stop, don’t they? What a shitty down side, huh?

    Polls show that voters want background checks much more thoroughly and sure than we get. In Florida, polls show 86 percent of voters want universal background checks. In Indiana, it is 90 percent. In Utah, 88 percent. Yet their politicians vote against them to get the NRA backing. It makes gun lovers so happy.

    So you want to ban all or most firearms, a pipedream at best.

    I never said there everyone should have access to them, it has always been my message they some should not.

    It is not a diversion, just the fact that if someone wants to harm themselves or others there are a long list of other ways to do so. I live in the real world and know that desperate people will do whatever they can to achieve their goals.

    The Revolution has two goals with so called gun control, the first is to grab the guns from citizens so that they will face less resistance, the second is to apply pain to the people that they dont like and dont trust, the goal is to satisfy their profound sadism.

    It will work.

    Why anyone would want to keep this gun carnage is a mystery to me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...ted_death_rate

    Guns are the reason for gun deaths.

    No guns = no gun deaths
    Good luck banning all guns.
