People that think just like you are the very reason why Politicians get away with stretching the Constitution of the United States into whatever shape THEY today feel is right.

It's amazing to me how ignorant the majority of the general public is about where "crime" truly comes from. A "gun" is an inanimate object. It will sit fully loaded and fully HARMLESS until eternity until some PERSON touches it.

So let's get this straight.....take away something our CONSTITUTION gives everyone the RIGHT to have, in the name of doing "something" about crime???? It even sounds absurd to even type it, let alone put into action. What's next? Freedom of Religion, Freedom of Speech, Right to Vote......WHERE do you draw the line? They are all RIGHTS provided by the CONSTITUTION, aren't they? How is one any greater than the other???

So you go ahead and sit back and laugh and say it doesn't bother you because YOU don't own a gun. Keep sitting on your hands and having a cavalier attitude that if it doesn't affect you, it's not EVER gonna. Keep thinking that. I guess you will only care when they take away something YOU do have, huh????

This issue has exponentially greater concentric circles it will affect. They will NEVER be able to take 100% of the guns away from ANYONE, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME. It's like sticking a single finger in the preverbial leaky dam. IT will NOT work. You plug one leak, a bigger one will follow. You take away the guns from LAW ABIDING citizens and then the CRIMINALS will flourish unchecked. Look at what happened during PROHIBITION.......need I say more???? CRIMINALS will ALWAYS have a way to get what THEY need. LEGAL or NOT. They are CRIMINALS after all. Instead of a weak weed killer on a single leaf of a big ass tree....why not try and rip the tree out by the roots??? Taking guns away from law abiding citizens is that same thing. A band-aid on gash. Won't ever work.

The only people that are buying into this way of thinking are the ill informed and the one's that "don't care because it doesn't matter to them because they don't own guns"........

Keep it up. Yall are doing a great job in letting politicians take away everything piece by piece unchecked.

Every single politician that would remotely endorse this kind of action will automatically and irrevocably lose MY VOTE, period. Nothing else to discuss.
Probably shouldn't waste your keystrokes, people like this are apathetic and ignorant because they want to be, not from some unfortunate cruel twist of fate.

What this hoser and everyone like him who says 'lol doesn't matter to me I don't own guns' doesn't realize is part of the reason he is safer in HIS house is because his NEIGHBOR, somewhere a couple houses down, has a loaded 20-gauge or a 9mm for home protection.

Criminals don't like having to break into a home not knowing whether they'll get shot.

In England, where there are virtually no guns in private hands (unless, of course, you're a politician or good friends with one), 50% of home break-ins are 'hot', meaning that someone is home when a criminal trespasses. Here, in the US, it's about 15%. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out why: ENGLISH CRIMINALS DO NOT FEAR ENGLISH CITIZENS BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY WILL NOT BE ARMED.
