I hope you can take comfort in murders and suicides being added to gun deaths to heavily inflate US murders by guns. Then again I forgot that people do not look at the details usually  Rolleyes
They're not gun deaths? Or are you just desperate for some quibble?

Hmmm, I mean't self-defense cases not murderers. Geesh, It seems odd I made that mistake but oh well.

I guess if you had an assault rifle when they were illegal the police could take it if they had some reason to search your home.

I was solemnly assured that Obama was going to come for our guns and if he didn't Clinton would.

Now that Obama has some free time he may actually show up on your doorstep and ask for your guns...

RE: Quick question on gun confiscation.
Under Obama I bought a Mossberg 930, a Century Arms AK-47, and a Smith and Wesson Shield© 9mm. Last night, I went and bought a Browning AB3 30-06 with a Leupold 4x12 scope.

I never worried about Obama coming for my guns. I knew it wasn't going to happen. Now though, I do worry about Trump's minions, under some sort of fucked up emergency decree, coming for them. The irony would be great and terrible.

"Cold dead liberal hands" comes to mind as well.

I'd direct him to a official agency of the State of Missouri, they have my .50 on long term loan.

No ammo could be found anywhere for a while outside of shotgun rounds. I couldn't find any .357 or .38 ammo anywhere for the gun I had at the time.

Yep, because those aren't AR chambered rounds.

I didn't compare gun deaths. I only compared murders.

Okay, but they also made it harder for people to own other firearms as well. Look at all the nonsense you have to go through to own a simple fucking shotgun. I am not happy for it to be the case and we should have the right to bear arms.

The opinion of the masses will change at some point in the future when they wake up and realise only the government and criminals have guns and that we have to rely on an underfunded, incompetent police force to protect us.

Britain is a fucking disgrace at the moment.

Who in the Government has guns? They generally think it's more sporting to leave that sort of thing up to the military and the security forces. But by all means enjoy your little anarchist fap fantasies. I wouldn't dream of taking them away from you.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
