No one wants to take away anyone’s guns.
Oh, that makes for a good scare tactic to get people to buy more guns and increase the profits of the gun manufacturers, but when we have heard for 71/2 years that Obama was salivating while waiting to do this, and we now hear that since he didn’t, Hillary not only wants to take them, but she wants to remove the Second Amendment, any thinking person would see a flaw in the claim.
What people really want is to have gun policies in place that will not make it so easy for people to purchase weapons that can kill a large number of people at one time, especially if those people show signs they might just intend to do that.
While politicians push the war on terrorism, they seem intent on ensuring that the terrorists have the wherewithal to get that done.
I have many friends who hunt. One even goes out for wild boar.
But when my friends buy guns, they buy them to hunt animals, not shoot people.
And while some claim any restrictions on the type of guns that can be purchased is an attack on the Second Amendment as it attempts to put a restriction on ownership, they very clearly ignore that there is a restriction already contained in the Amendment. They ignore the “well regulated militia” part.
When 89% of Americans polled say they want responsible gun laws, with 92% being Republican and 97% being Democrat, and when over 75% of NRA members call for them too, it seems odd that not only do politicians pay attention to only 11% of the population but to an NRA which ignores its own members.
