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?
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.
We need to ban Spanish teachers and stop this madness now!
He fails to consider the oppressive power of a government which could ban nine irons. Ok, so he considers one no more important than the other - but a government willing to kill to banish either is a government to be feared and replaced. Too many misunderstand the implications of prohibition, no matter what is banned (”oh, it’s just X, I can do without that...”).
Yes and most of these anti gun types use the stereotypical argument that its safer if we ban guns. In fact on average in the US there are 12,000 - 13,000 gun related homicides every year. There are over 33,000 auto fatalities and over 30,000 deaths from the flu so your chances of getting killed in a car accident or dying from the flu are twice as likely as being killed by a gun.
As we all know ad nauseum the criminals don’t buy their weapons in the gun stores anyway so if you ban guns the criminals who commit most of the homicides will still be out there killing folks with great abandonment.
There is only one reason to want to take weapons from the hands of the average law abiding citizen and that is government control. We will be fighting to maintain the 2nd ammendment as long as we live. This fight will never end.
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.
No, Dave. Shut up, Dave.
I'm sorry, Dave, but I can't allow you to do that ...
Actually, you missed the one about fatalities caused by doctors. If you interpret it the same way you interpret gun death statistics, Doctors are FAR more dangerous than guns and gun owners ...
