Who here is advocating for gun confiscation?

[AZ Progressive]

Gun control is not the same thing as gun confiscation. Any of you here advocate for the stuff that gun nuts are fearful of and of which fear makes them to give their undivided loyalty to Wayne Lapierre?

[Snobblevitch]

1. I am not in favor of gun confiscation.

I do not believe the goal is able to be accomplished, I do not noeve ot is legal, and I also believe the only thing such talk accomplishes is to sell more guns.

[MrWendel]

2. I for one...

would not lose any sleep if that happened. Hell I would sleep even better, but we know that would never happen.

[EX500rider]

3. I guess you haven't been reading any of the recent guns threads?

Most of them have several people calling for that.

[CBGLuthier]

4. I do.

[951-Riverside]

5. Me.

Gun control does not work and will never work with so many firearms on the street and in private hands.

I support a total gun ban, no sales, no transfers, nothing with confiscation/buy back/amnesty program and if those die hard holdouts think that a piece of metal is worth more than their lives then so be it.

...Cold dead hands and all that jazz.

6. I only call for gun confiscation from gun trolls who push gun nuttery in liberal forums.

Collect their screen names, posts, and IP addresses to Homeland Security.

[Straw Man]

9. In other words ...

I only call for gun confiscation from gun trolls who push gun nuttery in liberal forums.

Collect their screen names, posts, and IP addresses to Homeland Security.

... no one here, right?

[jack_krass]

18. Arguing for gun rights on a liberal forum....

Is natural and fitting. I can't think of a better place to do so...

The right to keep and bear arms.

The right to have the means to defend oneself

These are *liberal* ideas, inseparable from other individual liberties...

It is the position of the gun controllers (and ideas like reporting people you disagree with to homeland security) that is illiberal and authoritarian.

20. Are you from 17th-18th century America?

Because I would agree with you up to the signing of The Treaty of Ghent in 1814.

After that, guns became nothing but a symbol of oppression and a codpiece that now costs us tens of thousands of lives and $229 billion dollars each year.

My statement carries about as much weight and is about as easy to prove as yours...

Saying that "Guns did this", or "guns costed that" is meaningless, because if you had took all the guns away, many of those people would have still killed each other by other means, and found other ways to cause the economic damage you mention.

7. People who haven't the foggiest clue what they are talking about

And that goes for the one's who think they are onto something about banning ammunition or any kind of gun. It goes for those who don't understand the difference between gun ownership (an enumerated civil liberty) and public transportation (a privilege)...even the latter being questionable for denial without some form of due process...

Bottom line, those who are advocates of gun confiscation will be disappointed for a very long time because of their ignorance...

[951-Riverside]

8. Right, because "if you come fer our guns you're gonna die!"... "Molon labe", "1776 will commence"

"from muh cold dead hands"

[pipoman]

14. No, because until there is a constitutional amendment on the table

AND the possibility of 37 states supporting that amendment, its all just a fantasy in the minds of the ignorant.

[Duckhunter935]

11. problem is

This has not been enforced for some time and you should also say the same about the dozens of other gun posts not related to any big news event.

[ileus]

12. We can't have true control unless we have removed all their firearms.

Don't the NRA any credit, they're only 5 million strong, and if we take everyone's guns they won't have anything to be loyal to Wayne for.

[bigwillq]

13. Not me

I'm pro gun control and pro gun rights. I think you can be both.

[tenderfoot]

15. No one is but don't let that stop gun nutters from thinking so.

eom

[pipoman]

16. Or the control fanatics from publicly fantasizing....

Oh, and yes, plenty of constitutionally ignorant are doing just that...

[davidn3600]

19. Slippery slope is a real argument in this case

Laws like more background checks and watch lists would not have stopped a single mass murder that has happened. So when the next murder happens, then what? We demand more laws, right? And we keep going and going with this cycle until we start talking about confiscation. That's the ultimate goal of gun-control advocates. And that's why a wall has formed in Congress that prevents the cycle from even starting.
