sorry, no Skittles Aug 2019 #1
I'll put you in the category of wanting more massacres since you refuse to address the problem. LonePirate Aug 2019 #4
again, hysteria Skittles Aug 2019 #11
Agree orangecrush Aug 2019 #51
And there's nothing to get hysterical about HopeAgain Aug 2019 #178
repealing 2A and confiscating all guns something that is never gonna happen Skittles Aug 2019 #181
No because the defeatest HopeAgain Aug 2019 #182
no, it is not defeatist Skittles Aug 2019 #189
Assuming you mean "defeatists" Codeine Aug 2019 #193
So shhhhhh... HopeAgain Aug 2019 #195
We can talk all we want, Codeine Aug 2019 #197
But I'm basically told that there is no point in talking about it HopeAgain Aug 2019 #198
Because it's never going to happen. LakeArenal Aug 2019 #201
Not going to happen Calculating Aug 2019 #97
gun humping pieces of shit equate sensible gun laws with confiscation of all guns Skittles Aug 2019 #115
It doesn't help Codeine Aug 2019 #121
The OP said..confiscate all guns AncientGeezer Aug 2019 #170
yes Skittles Aug 2019 #180
Dumpster has a history of being for gun control.. AncientGeezer Aug 2019 #183
he is owned by Russia and the Greedy Old Pig party now Skittles Aug 2019 #188
Failure is never a solution, no matter how noble the intent Tom Rinaldo Aug 2019 #196
you have to change the gun culture or you will never get rid of guns. Thomas Hurt Aug 2019 #202
Thank you. nt Atticus Aug 2019 #205
i like my guns samnsara Aug 2019 #2
Said no shooting victim SCVDem Aug 2019 #3
I like salty and greasy foods but that doesn't mean I should have them. Time to give up your guns. LonePirate Aug 2019 #5
I like my guns too. Your tagline. LOL. Maybe not shot, but one was stabbed doing the dishes. zackymilly Aug 2019 #15
LOL, what a silly comment. nt USALiberal Aug 2019 #129
How will you confiscate all guns? WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2019 #6
Buy backs and then house to house searches, if necessary. LonePirate Aug 2019 #9
Oh, I didn't say it wasn't feasable. I was interested in what your idea of confiscation looks like. WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2019 #13
You'd need to repeal the Fourth Amendment, as well, to do what you suggest. WillowTree Aug 2019 #20
As long as we're gutting the Bill of Rights Codeine Aug 2019 #29
Agree. (I try never to argue with wise people speaking the truth.) WillowTree Aug 2019 #35
There are those of us who firmly believe the 2A did not mean what Scalia said it did in Heller ... mr_lebowski Aug 2019 #45
I have no problem with your interpretation. Codeine Aug 2019 #47
Er, you mean when he wrote sir pball Aug 2019 #96
Er ... no I mean when SCOTUS decided in Heller by 5-4 vote that the 2A spoke to an Individual mr_lebowski Aug 2019 #100
Absolutely. And the second amendment does not stop us from doing what Australia did after emmaverybo Aug 2019 #108
Actually it does... AncientGeezer Aug 2019 #184
Before Heller, the second amendment was not interpreted as giving civilians the right to emmaverybo Aug 2019 #186
Guns should be better regulated. Blue_true Aug 2019 #30
Completely Agree RobinA Aug 2019 #64
And I say "good luck with that". Initech Aug 2019 #50
Sounds like Nazi Germany. Next, the house to house searches will involve deportation mzmolly Aug 2019 #164
Hard core authoritarianism. Right here on DU. MarvinGardens Aug 2019 #52
There's always been a strain of that here. Codeine Aug 2019 #57
You are part of the problem then. Joe941 Aug 2019 #122
Transparent. nt Codeine Aug 2019 #125
By not wanting house to house searches, I am part of the problem? MarvinGardens Aug 2019 #128
Become a cop. MicaelS Aug 2019 #53
That's NOT the answer either...and a very unthinking one as well... Backseat Driver Aug 2019 #103
So anyone who has any reservations sammythecat Aug 2019 #78
House to house searches? But I thought ACAB!!! What about that? Is this where ACAB doesn't apply? EllieBC Aug 2019 #101
House searches? Really? Agschmid Aug 2019 #124
They actually used the Codeine Aug 2019 #126
Will they get to charge you for other things while searching for guns bottomofthehill Aug 2019 #176
And they'll shoot my dogs while they search... nt End Of The Road Aug 2019 #194
I support the 2nd Amendment. aikoaiko Aug 2019 #7
Me too, and I also worry that the calls for Backseat Driver Aug 2019 #105
Wow. If it's really that bad kcr Aug 2019 #113
Are you a repub? Joe941 Aug 2019 #123
You're fooling nobody. nt Codeine Aug 2019 #127
Lifelong Democrat, Joe. aikoaiko Aug 2019 #131
Not very progressive. Joe941 Aug 2019 #142
I support civil liberties and one them is protected by the 2nd Amendment. aikoaiko Aug 2019 #144
Whats your plan??? Can't wait! nt USALiberal Aug 2019 #130
Not so much a plan, but things I support and don't support. aikoaiko Aug 2019 #139
We need reasonable Skidmore Aug 2019 #8
Punishment? RobinA Aug 2019 #67
All for gun control, though it would be a shame if this became a defining issue in 2020. Auggie Aug 2019 #10
Yup. And other parts of the constitution should be rewritten while they are at it. Joe941 Aug 2019 #12
Curious....which parts? AncientGeezer Aug 2019 #172
Those who support the 2A should be on the front lines of correcting the problems OrlandoDem2 Aug 2019 #14
Except they have no interest in correcting the problem. They love their guns more than life itself. LonePirate Aug 2019 #19
Can we start with your house? Archae Aug 2019 #23
Yes. I have never owned any guns and never will. Nothing to find here. LonePirate Aug 2019 #24
Ok fine, let's tear the house apart to be SURE you have no hidden ones, either. Archae Aug 2019 #27
I have nothing to hide. Sounds like you have plenty to hide, starting with your cowardice I guess. LonePirate Aug 2019 #28
I think you may have misunderstood archae A HERETIC I AM Aug 2019 #43
If that is what it takes to rid this country of the gun menace, so be it. LonePirate Aug 2019 #46
Interesting... graeme_macquarrie Aug 2019 #74
You're making ridiculous excuses. You must want the massacres to continue. LonePirate Aug 2019 #76
No "ridiculous excuses" I just want to know what graeme_macquarrie Aug 2019 #86
"You're making ridiculous excuses" You mean questions on how that would work? EX500rider Aug 2019 #148
We'll all be dead before that happens because people like you do not want to address the gun problem LonePirate Aug 2019 #160
Take a deep breath, dude. Codeine Aug 2019 #171
Maybe have the workers from.... Fla_Democrat Aug 2019 #88
That's ridiculous. AirmensMom Aug 2019 #41
The point is sarisataka Aug 2019 #48
OK, fine. AirmensMom Aug 2019 #49
I have heard it said sarisataka Aug 2019 #71
I'm not saying that. AirmensMom Aug 2019 #117
Wow. Codeine Aug 2019 #91
The lives of children are not cheap. AirmensMom Aug 2019 #116
I'm not talking about gun rights. Codeine Aug 2019 #118
It doesn't matter if you have guns. MarvinGardens Aug 2019 #54
Going to do that for other Bill of Rights, rights... AncientGeezer Aug 2019 #173
That simply isn't going to happen. Codeine Aug 2019 #16
It is simply out of reach ripcord Aug 2019 #151
Wouldn't it be a lot easier customerserviceguy Aug 2019 #17
I agree. PoindexterOglethorpe Aug 2019 #18
That's like saying that everyone who drinks is fine with drunk driving deaths. MarvinGardens Aug 2019 #60
Somehow, I see a difference here. PoindexterOglethorpe Aug 2019 #66
Half of American gun deaths are suicides. MarvinGardens Aug 2019 #80
Nope. I'm not okay with the suicides, either. PoindexterOglethorpe Aug 2019 #82
So you're OK with traumatic deaths, MarvinGardens Aug 2019 #85
Somehow, I see a difference too. sammythecat Aug 2019 #94
For what it's worth, I don't believe I've known anyone killed by a drunk driver. PoindexterOglethorpe Aug 2019 #95
That is not true. Alcohol is a major cause of MVAs in which other lives than the drivers' are taken emmaverybo Aug 2019 #187
You'd have to argue to SCOTUS the "Hunting Clause" part of the 2A..that doesn't exist. AncientGeezer Aug 2019 #174
How stupid can a person be to say this? Archae Aug 2019 #21
And a cheering section to support it. Codeine Aug 2019 #31
So you support enabling future massacres and terroristic events? That's what supporting the 2A means LonePirate Aug 2019 #37
Reductio ad absurdism has never been a convincing Codeine Aug 2019 #42
Your "debate technique" is the same as Limbaugh's. That should concern you. nt Atticus Aug 2019 #206
What concerns me is all of the DUers like you who refuse to support methods to end these massacres. LonePirate Aug 2019 #207
Reminds me of Bush II MicaelS Aug 2019 #77
It has actually worked in other countries. N/T AirmensMom Aug 2019 #34
Like Mexico? They have 1 govt owned gun store in the whole country. EX500rider Aug 2019 #79
How stupid can a person be to support the 2A and the resultant terrorism? LonePirate Aug 2019 #36
President Obama...? AncientGeezer Aug 2019 #185
Repealing the second amendment wouldn't make the right go away. X_Digger Aug 2019 #22
I agree. I am over here in Ireland where marlakay Aug 2019 #25
I like that the police don't carry guns. MarvinGardens Aug 2019 #70
I would favor limiting all pistols and rifles to no more than six rounds. Blue_true Aug 2019 #26
which will never happen, elleng Aug 2019 #32
So you're quitting and giving up? No wonder this country is in the mess it is in. LonePirate Aug 2019 #38
NEVER quitting and giving up, elleng Aug 2019 #40
Welcome to my ignore. Archae Aug 2019 #33
Everybody should put this poster on Ignore SCantiGOP Aug 2019 #102
Where's the fun in that? Fla_Democrat Aug 2019 #133
I'm with you. AirmensMom Aug 2019 #39
Re-read your last sentence. MicaelS Aug 2019 #75
Are you under the impression that nothing is illegal or restricted? kcr Aug 2019 #111
Comparison is perfectly valid. MicaelS Aug 2019 #145
When you use prohibition as an argument against gun control kcr Aug 2019 #150
Guns are toys for guys who are insecure. ExciteBike66 Aug 2019 #44
Is that so? EX500rider Aug 2019 #81
And? ExciteBike66 Aug 2019 #191
You have to be fit to join the military. BannonsLiver Aug 2019 #159
Ha ExciteBike66 Aug 2019 #190
We need reasonable regulation ... mzmolly Aug 2019 #55
If you don't want all guns removed from the streets, then you want the massacres to continue. LonePirate Aug 2019 #56
That's some simple-minded bullshit. nt Codeine Aug 2019 #58
I'm sorry you have a problem with the truth. A single gun is capable of killing numerous people. LonePirate Aug 2019 #59
There are distinct differences between mzmolly Aug 2019 #69
And yet many nations have private firearms Codeine Aug 2019 #72
Removed from the streets? mzmolly Aug 2019 #65
Then you want the massacres to continue if you want guns left in circulation. It's pretty simple. LonePirate Aug 2019 #68
Your thought process is indeed, simple. mzmolly Aug 2019 #73
The nuances are irrelevant when a single gun can wipe out an entire room full of people. LonePirate Aug 2019 #89
Let's remove all Nuance... graeme_macquarrie Aug 2019 #93
You seem not to realize LOTS of things can wipe out a room full of people. EX500rider Aug 2019 #152
This is a discussion about guns. Start those discussion threads if you want to address those issues. LonePirate Aug 2019 #153
Got ya, don't point out inconvenient facts that don't help your case, such that it be. nt EX500rider Aug 2019 #154
You're the one distracting from the discussion about guns. I wonder how many you own. LonePirate Aug 2019 #155
Post removed Post removed Aug 2019 #156
I don't even know why someone like that is here. BannonsLiver Aug 2019 #157
A single handgun is less likely to wipe out a room with more than six mzmolly Aug 2019 #163
Are you actually making an excuse based on the type of gun or clip/magazine? LonePirate Aug 2019 #165
No, I'm thinking your scenario through. mzmolly Aug 2019 #167
Va. Tech ring a bell? AncientGeezer Aug 2019 #175
Semi-automatics mzmolly Aug 2019 #199
Semi auto hand guns....ring a bell? 37 dead with semi auto handguns AncientGeezer Aug 2019 #200
.. Which is why we need to also address high capacity magazines, mzmolly Aug 2019 #203
Those weren't Hi-cap mags....they were standard to each pistol. AncientGeezer Aug 2019 #209
More than 10 rounds is generally considered high capacity. mzmolly Aug 2019 #210
You listed 7 states and D.C so not really "generally"....but the mags in the pistols I mentioned AncientGeezer Aug 2019 #211
I listed 7 states with laws defining 'high capacity' - so yes, generally. mzmolly Aug 2019 #212
This message was self-deleted by its author AncientGeezer Aug 2019 #213
And there are 43 others that don't..so not generally..actually rarely AncientGeezer Aug 2019 #214
Ok, ok. I'll admit it. sammythecat Aug 2019 #104
That button is sensitive, isn't it? kcr Aug 2019 #112
We need to also make sure people are enforcing these regulations too dustyscamp Aug 2019 #61
Agree. mzmolly Aug 2019 #63
"reasonable" means nothing Fla_Democrat Aug 2019 #138
Fair point. Though I don't think confiscating ALL guns in the US is reasonable or mzmolly Aug 2019 #162
I'd bet good money we'll see an uptick in guns & ammo purchases this week captain queeg Aug 2019 #62
I wish you good fortune in the wars to come Mike_DuBois Aug 2019 #83
It's amusing you think confiscation is workable. EX500rider Aug 2019 #84
How stupid. n/t flvegan Aug 2019 #87
I have the inherent human right to defend my home and family using reasonable measures. MarvinGardens Aug 2019 #90
Then you are on the side of wanting more of these massacres to happen. You can't have it both ways. LonePirate Aug 2019 #92
My favorite responses to this are #93 and #104. MarvinGardens Aug 2019 #135
Both are responses by people who have no interest in actually solving the problem. LonePirate Aug 2019 #137
Sticks and stones. MarvinGardens Aug 2019 #141
I suppose when you have no solutions to the problem, quoting nursery rhymes is all you're capable of LonePirate Aug 2019 #147
Your OP was not a serious proposal, MarvinGardens Aug 2019 #161
Using this same reasoning, I have seen what can happen when guns are easily available. CTyankee Aug 2019 #119
I am very sorry for your loss. MarvinGardens Aug 2019 #132
It's a good thing that you re-evaluate your ideas on guns in the home. CTyankee Aug 2019 #136

You're just making excuses to continue the massacres no matter how much you fool yourself. LonePirate Aug 2019 #99

Every other sane country has done this. kcr Aug 2019 #106
Plenty of perfectly wonderful and peaceful places Codeine Aug 2019 #107
There is no rational argument for massacres but gun apologists like you don't want to prevent them. LonePirate Aug 2019 #109
Are we a perfectly wonderful and peaceful place? kcr Aug 2019 #110
The OP was not a liberal post. MarvinGardens Aug 2019 #140

I think that's debatable. MarvinGardens Aug 2019 #168
