How did gun control work for us in N.Ireland back in the 70s, 80s and early 90s?!?!?!?
Gun control will NEVER stop bad people from owning guns, never..!
Owning guns is never going to stop gun crime. So what is your argument for having them?
I have heard this same claim from the right for 45 years. When are they gonna take your guns? Sure is taking a long time. Wise up

Actually, there are daily instances of guns stopping crime. If they didn't, by the way, the Police wouldn't have them...
The other argument is simple. It's a deterrent for government. It's one of the primary reasons it is in the Constitution. An armed people is a free people. Pretty simple concept really.
Let me state it again so you can't get confused, owning guns won't stop all gun crime

Nothing will. So, because it won't stop ALL crime, it's fine to take them away?
Mirrors won't stop ALL car accidents, so we should get rid of them. Railings stairs won't stop ALL falls. Sounds ridiculous when put that way, huh?
But, I'm the one that's confused....OK...sure.

If Hillary is elected, within 8 years.
Within 4 years, it will basically be impossible to buy any new firearms or ammo (as legislation will be enacted to basically drive the manufacturers out of business). This will coincide with the establishment of a Federal Police force, instead of local authority. The apparent outcome of this will look great when organized race riots cease and false flag shooting incidents stop. This will lay the groundwork for what comes next.
Within 8 years, all would be illegal to private citizens. From the groundwork of the previous 4 years, it will pave the way for a Supreme Court decision (therefore bypassing NRA owned politicians) to re-interpret the 2nd Amendment, to make guns illegal to private citizens.
We all heard the same thing about Obama 8 years ago.
