Poll: Will a Gun Ban Actually Happen? | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 9664906 United States 12/18/2012 09:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | High Capacity Magazines will almost definitely get banned, or there will be some red tape/tracking attached to their sales. Most likely an assault weapons ban will be re-instated as well. I'm not saying I am for or against any of that. That is just my prediction. |

no more dead first graders User ID: 18966583 United States 12/18/2012 10:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This who charade we all just witnessed was guaranteed that gun rights as we currently know them are on the way out the door. This is a fact. Even the most pro-gun politicians can't say shit in the face of over a dozen murdered first graders. I personally believe that the incident was staged, and for just this purpose. If nothing else, people will see the current gun laws become more restrictive. Semi automatic weapons and assault rifles purchased by private citizens will become a thing of the past. Penalties for failing to register your weapons will be increased. Loopholes enjoyed by those who prefer to buy their murder weapons at gun shows will go the way of the dinosaur. Sorry card carrying members of the NRA, but you are about to lose some benefits. And this will just be the beginning. After laws change with regard to current sales, they are going to retro this bitch and start confiscating weapons. Those who refuse to surrender theirs will either end up in jail (sans weapons) or dead (because they thought their puny AR was a match for the government's arsenal.) In the end, the social unrest caused by the culling of the guns will cause the implementation of martial law, and we will all end up in FEMA camps. All because some stupid conservative idiots had to have weapons capable of discharging 100+ rounds per minute. Do you really think that the populous arming itself with semi-automatic assault rifles was what the Founding Fathers had in mind when they added the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution? Nope. Why you trigger happy freaks can't be happy with traditional rifles and handguns is beyond the scope on my understanding. And don't give me the 'But the government has big guns so I want them, too" argument, because it's a bunch of shit. Trust me, fellas, if you are utilizing your AR against the full force of the government (State or Federal) you have already lost. You are dead. Your family is probably already dead. And you have accomplished nothing... |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1409758 United States 01/27/2013 07:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't think there will be an assault weapons ban.
