First comment by Kurt Hofmann:

Well, "Citizen Dave," are you prepared to personally enforce your proposed ban? Or do you intend to send the sons and daughters of others to kill and (mostly) be killed for your declaration of war on those of us who won't surrender any of our firearms?

Well, "Citizen"? Which is it? Are you prepared to die for your precious gun bans, or are you, in your cowardice, content to leave the dying to others?

“Now, I am a gun owner, but I don't view my guns as the bulwark of my freedom; I see them as pieces of recreational equipment that I store next to my golf clubs. My guns are no more important to my freedom than my nine iron, and we'd be in sorry shape if our liberty depended on my accuracy with either.”

No, we'd be in sorry shape if liberty depended on panty-waste wimps like you. Put on a dress and go get a real job. One more suited to your talents.

At least he’s honest enough to acknowledge that his plan necessitates 2A repeal/amendment

A handful of freak incidents, thus a call for massive prohibitions.

But 50,000 dead from cars each year? “Meh. I need mine.”

I’d like to buy Mr. Hoffman a beer.

Shove it Dave.

I say ban people named Dave. Now, I have that name, but if it will get rid of others, that’s okay. Same logic.

Well...add another to “the list” for hog feeding. Be sure to get his home address, make of car, recent photo, etc. for when the balloon goes up. <./Henry Bowman>

“My guns are no more important to my freedom than my nine iron”

He’s an idiot. Which just goes to prove we really do live in a free society where any idiot can write an opinion article.

Of course, if handguns were banned, murderers wouldn’t use rifles, shotguns, knives, hatchets, poison, explosives, etc. to dispatch their victims. They’d say “gosh darnit, they took away my handgun, so I guess I can’t kill a bunch of people. I do have a shotgun, but I wouldn’t think of using that.” Idiocy on parade.

"Last Tuesday, a 28 year-old former Spanish teacher named Shane Schumerth walked into the office of Dale Regan, the principal of the school where he had been recently fired, pulled out an AK-47 assault rifle and killed her before committing suicide."

We need to ban Spanish teachers and stop this madness now!

Dear Citizen Dave -

Might I suggest that you lead by example. Take your old beater 30.06 and whatever other firearms you own (you said “guns” - so I assume you have others..) and turn them in to the local police station.

As for me, I will keep mine, thank you.

Dave is no citizen; he’s a subject. May his chains rest lightly upon him.

[TigersEye]

No, Dave. Shut up, Dave.

"My bold proposal is to simply ban the manufacture, sale and possession of all handguns and automatic weapons everywhere in America."

I'm sorry, Dave, but I can't allow you to do that ...

[Billthedrill]

"Our" side of the debate? Who is "our", Dave?

Nevertheless, if all that is required to address the issue is to pass a law, let's pass one making murder illegal. That's my "bold proposal".

Typical leftist aka progressive gun hater rant. The 2nd amend is not about guns. It is about the right to have them.
