People who have no knowledge of, nor own, firearms (AR-15s) should not have the right to make legislation on these tools. Why should I, a legal law-abiding citizen, have my rights restricted because a few cowardly and irresponsible people used a gun the wrong way? By restricting gun usage, you are hurting the legally responsible people, NOT the criminals. Criminals don't give a tw0--blam!- rat's ass about laws. Murder is illegal, no? Then why does murder still persist if it's illegal?
1. In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915-1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves against their ethnic-cleansing government, were arrested and exterminated.
2. In 1929, the former Soviet Union established gun control as a means of controlling the “more difficult” of their citizens. From 1929 to the death of Stalin, 40 million Soviets met an untimely end at the hand of various governmental agencies as they were arrested and exterminated.
3. After the rise of the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url]’s, Germany established their version of gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, 13 million Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, the mentally ill, and others, who were unable to defend themselves against the “Brown Shirts”, were arrested and exterminated.
Interestingly, the Brown Shirts were eventually targeted for extermination themselves following their blind acts of allegiance to Hitler. Any American military and police would be wise to grasp the historical significance of the Brown Shirts’ fate.
4. After Communist China established gun control in 1935, an estimated 50 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves against their fascist leaders, were arrested and exterminated.
5. Closer to home, Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayans, unable to defend themselves against their ruthless dictatorship, were arrested and exterminated.
6. Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves from their dictatorial government, were arrested and exterminated.
7. Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million of the “educated” people, unable to defend themselves against their fascist government, were arrested and exterminated.
8. In 1994, Rwanda disarmed the Tutsi people and being unable to defend themselves from their totalitarian government, nearly one million were summarily executed.

Hell, look at the United Kingdom: Yes they have lower gun crimes compared to America after ownership was restricted but the U.K also has a much lower population compared to the U.S and strictly comparing the two statistics, without modification to equally represent the two countries, is utterly preposterous. Oh and don't forget that despite the reduce gun violence, violence involving knives has sharply risen to the point that Parliament is actually deciding to ban kitchen knives. BANNING KITCHEN KNIVES, HOW STUPID CAN YOU -blam!-ING GET?!

What's next? unregulated government surveillance watching your every step? Requiring everybody to wear a latex jumpsuit and make everybody undergo an x-ray scanning before leaving the front door? Having people get permits to buy anything remotely sharp or can caused bodily harm?

"what's a barrel shroud?' "oh, it's a shoulder thing that goes up."

Not all Democrats believe in gun control. Should be titled something else. But in all the other instances genocide was committed. Who do you think Will be targeted in America? I mean I agree with you, but I'm curious as to who you think will be targeted.

See, I hate this about the Flood. If this guy had made this claim and simply said "You liberals are idiots for wanting to ban guns. Guns don't kill people, people kill people. Stop being stupid", or something to that effect, this would have gotten over 9,000 replies. Since the OP presented a well thought out, logical debate with a few sources to back up his claim, nobody said anything. Stay classy, Flood.

THIS MAKES SENSE...

Hey, Liberals have great [i]intentions[/i]. And if the world was the way they saw it, I'd totally be a Liberal.

I like this thread and agree. MERICA. Come and take you liberals!

This is like the 4th necroed thread.

[quote]And my smallest child can just collapse the stock all the way and be able to operate the weapon.[/quote]"How can I convince people trying to ban this piece of weaponry otherwise? Hmm, let's see... I know! I'll tell them that by banning this they will make it so that my smallest child can't just pick up my AR-15 and use it all by himself. Surely that'll change their minds!" People like this actually exist.

"They don't like that this weapon is black". I shouldn't have laughed, but I did.

Watch out for the shoulder thingy that goes up! The deadliest part of an assault gun carbine automoton killing doohickey
-
Uh, Parliament is most certainly not deciding to ban kitchen knives. That article was made 9 years ago.

2 RepliesAgreed. If ya don't know what yer talking about shut the hell up. Like that one jerkoff who called it a "30 round high capacity ammunition clip magazine" I've been shooting since I was 5 and never in my life have I heard such an assbackwards term for a standard capacity magazine.

1 ReplyYou seem to be one of those people who thinks that gun control = confiscation and banning of all firearms.

I'd rather be chased down by a gang of knife wielding maniacs than face one guy with a gun. USA - 0 UK - 0 Usain Bolt - 1

I'm pretty sure I would have heard about my government wanting to ban kitchen knives... I like my roast beef though:(

Want a broom for those sweeping generalizations?

I call Democrats liberals and Republicans conservatives but will change the title to stop people from getting butt-hurt.

I was under the impression that gun-control was a Democratic position, not a liberal one.

Just stick to the facts if you want to try to make your case, this bit only takes away from it.

I don't mind if people have them as long as they're not criminals or f*cking insane.

What if I am a LIBERAL and I support the NRA and do not back the ban on Assault Rifles? While, yes, many liberals do want to get rid of the AR's, some don't. Just like some conservatives support the ban. Nice job generalizing, jerk.

Liberal =/= anti-gun
