    Default Is This The Democrats Vision For America?

    Hard to convince most of us conservatives otherwise.

    LMAO

    It was 'hard to convince Conservatives' that Obama wasn't coming for your guns.

    How did that work out?

    That might be because you all don't much bother to actually seek out and talk to any actual "liberals" about it. Frankly, it's just scaremongering by the RW and its bestie, the NRA, lobbying group for the weapons makers. Unlike Republicans, if we don't want guns we don't have them. But the vast majority of us don't care if YOU have them as long as they aren't being used to harm or threaten others. Republicans, on the other hand, are more than happy to dictate that if there's something that they don't like (abortion *cough cough* SSM *cough cough*), no one else can have it.

    I like bringing this up once in a while just to watch the lefties seeth. The answer is NO, the left will never succeed in disarming the American public,...because they CANT. When I say cant Im not even talking legalities like the 2nd amendment. Im talking they cant because they physically CANT do it and they KNOW this therefor they will never actually try. They may nibble at the edges a little bit,....but TAKE our guns? NEVER. In fact the very thought is laughable. There are more guns here then people...LOL And we love them. It would result in the slaughter of the left. This is why they will never be able to take our guns. Sure isnt because they dont want to, we all know they would LOVE to,....but even they know THEY CANT . They cant because they would be shot down en masse like dogs. Thats how it would end as we all know. Must suck for them.

    So folks, when they say...." dont worry we arent coming for youre guns" Take it for what its worth. They arent saying this in the interest of fairness or because they want to be reasonable and do the right thing. Thats all bullshit. They are saying it because they dont want to die. Plain and simple.

    Its time to leave the Democrat party like Tulsi Gabbard. You can't possibly support a party that supports abortion till birth.


    Yes the Democrat Party wants to ban guns. The population is easier to control if they are unarmed.

    I agree that *a few* (Feinstein) seem in favor of a universal ban on all firearm ownership. However, the others do not state agreement with that, including the snipped quote of Biden's. From his website:

    It’s within our grasp to end our gun violence epidemic and respect the Second Amendment, which is limited. As president, Biden will pursue constitutional, common-sense gun safety policies. Biden will:

    Listen to what Beto says then listen to the Democrat crowd's response to what he said. Then tell me with a straight face that no one wants to take guns from Americans.

    The far left of the Dem party would probably like to ban guns. But it's not the party's platform, and most Dems do not want to do that.

    We could play that game all day w/ both parties. The far right of the Republican party is no picnic.
