so for those of you who are worried about gun control coming from the dems, do you really think that a ban on semi's and handguns is a realistic possibility? I'm a gun owner myself and no offense, but i don't think that will be happening in our lifetimes. I mean guns are just as much part of america as beer and football.
Look at the "progress" they've made in states such as Massachusetts, New York, California, Illinois, New Jersey, Maryland, and places such as DC, San Francisco, Chicago, New York City, and so on. Believe it, the gun-control lobby has been targeting semi-automatic firearms for a long time, especially handguns. The "Assault Weapon Ban" in 1994 was a major win for them, fortunately when it came up for renewal, guns weren't a hot issue in the USA (and Republican leadership got their peepee's SPANKED by the voters after that bill and others passed in 1994. They weren't going to make that mistake twice).
They will lie, deceive, alter stats, make up stats, use emotional language, and so on. The facts are against them, they know this. The stats of "children killed by guns", guess what, that includes up to 20+ year olds and doesn't delineate gang killings. They're pros at it.
A large portion of gun owners are your enemy. They don't care about anything but their single-shot shotgun or rifle. In fact, they see handguns as useless or evil, as well as semi-automatic rifles. They WILL work with the anti-gun lobby to enact bans, they have in the past.
