If you don't like guns and want to ban them or a type, have a vote to amend the constitution. What? You say that amendment won't pass? Oh, no ****. Must mean people actually like their rights to own a gun. Who would have guessed that...
Had that argument with a friend today, she just kept getting mad cause shes the tree hugging hippy type that can't think for herself. She was attacking assault weapons when I mentioned how rare they were used in crimes... why aren't they attacking handguns? She then went on about the last shooting, to which I mentioned how he had TWO handguns.
I think what it comes down to is, these people are emotional morons who can't be bothered to think up a way to regulate the stuff without just saying "ban it all." Thing is, if you give them a way to circumvent the the right to bear arms, you give them ways to circumvent freedom of speech and other rights. It's a slippery slope with no recourse.
