In reply to the discussion: I'm done arguing with gun proponents [View all]Bonhomme Richard
(9,000 posts)31. To ban guns would be unfair but I didn't.......
propose that. Hell, I don't want my guns taken ( for the record I have 3 handguns and a couple of .22 rifles and a CCW) but what I do want is a dialog about magazine capacity, about any and all loopholes in gun sales, about a serious effort to stop illegal gun trafficking and illegal guns in the inner city.
Why won't so many be willing to have a legitimate discussion without talking about freedoms and the slippery slope. They are only responses to stop discussion.
For someone here to write off these deaths as "Freedom is Messy" as they did is insane and shows a complete lack of empathy which happens to be one of the worse traits for a gun owner to have.
