Go find some place to relocate, and live, and kill each other, in peace .
And leave the rest of us alone to live our lives as we should be able to.
Yup, just a pipe dream

Does it matter what kind of gun? Just asking. You know a number of European
counties do allow gun ownership - although it's highly regulated. Do you think that
everyone who owns a gun is just itching to use it?
Edited to add a list of counties where civilian gun ownership is illegal.
Brunei
Cambodia
Comoros
Eritrea
Fiji
Guinea-Bisseau
Maldives
Marshall Islands
Myanmar (except for Chin people)
Nauru
North Korea
Palau

(35,346 posts).22 caliber rifles. I have 6 handguns, a black powder cap and ball revolver, a .22 caliber revolver, a .380 semi auto, a 9mm
semi auto, a .40 caliber semi auto and a .44 magnum revolver. Four of them were passed down from my father and brother.
I quit hunting a decade ago, I go shooting three or four times a year. The one .40 caliber came with a 16 round magazine that I
would have no problem replacing with a 10 round magazine. I see no reason for anyone having an AR15 or a magazine with more
than a 10 round capacity. I have no problems with background checks or registering any of them. I was a NRA member until
Wayne LaPeire took over and made the NRA a right wing political lobby.

This is the kind of ridiculous comment that alienates millions of gun owning Democrats. Arrogant as well. If you can't stand to live in a country with people who own even a single gun then perhaps you should be the one to leave. Try China. Sounds like your kind of place.

I didn't say anything remotely close to that. But thanks for intentionally misrepresenting what I said. Speaks volumes about you. Millions of Democrats own guns for various reasons and never harm a living soul. These are also people open to sensible gun legislation . Alienating those people guarantee a republican-controlled America for the foreseeable future. And in that America you will never get any kind of gun legislation passed. But by all means continue to make your hyperbolic over the top comments to prove you're more pure than the rest of us. It must be wonderful to be perfect.
