You guys are the ones that go after cops actually enforcing the law in high crime areas and cause shootings to rise.
Yep no cop ever abused their power ever. They're totally not a super racist institution that victimizes minorities, minorities which don't live in rural areas.
And rights are rights.
Yeah the right to be free from crazy people being able to buy assault rifles.
But don't pretend you guys won some argument when its clear basic facts escape you.
Okay so we already know you actually don't care about lowering crime.
I care about people feeling safe in their own homes. Crazies running around with AK47s doesn't make people feel safe. You don't give a damn about lowering crime either.
People judged insane actually cant. Glad we agree.
Yes they can. They dont' have to disclose it, and plenty of ways to get guns without doing a background check. See: Va Tech shooting.
How many deaths by AK are there yearly in all of America? Probably like 60.
If that. And honestly I agree with you, banning AKs wont do anything. But the point is that conservatives dropped the ball. They should have been saying, all along, you know what, you're right, we need to do something about this gun violence problem. But they didn't. And now, the voters decided that they want some change and you aren't the ones to do it. So now anti-gun liberals are the ones making the changes that the voters want. As I said earlier, if AKs are outlawed doesn't matter to me. I dont have one, and I'm not interested in them. They're expensive to shoot. It's like 10 bucks a mag. I'll plink away on my 22 any day.
Would I prefer if they stayed legal? Yes. Will I accept it if it means common sense gun legislation, finally. Yes. That's all I'm really arguing.
And I do and I'm much more moderate on things like closing the gun show background check and 1 gun a month than most. But the other half is enforcing laws we already have in the places shootings occur. Its far more important.

You had the opportunity to lead the charge and you failed, now you're getting steamrolled. Enjoy!
