        Americans love their guns...until the Pentagon sends a letter commanding you to carry one.

        Nope- loves it then too. But I didn’t need a letter- I joined because it was the right thing to do. 😉

        Idiots. Most firearms accidents occur with pistols and are SUICIDES or Gang Violence. Banning "assault rifles" and high capacity mags do literally nothing.

        It doesn’t matter what it stands for. The destruction it causes does, as does the seemingly preference it has with mass shooters

        What you not understanding is the act of firing a gun has to be triggered (no pun intended) by a human hand. To ban guns is a stupid idea. To have better backround checks im all for. If you get ina car accident you dont blame the car you blame the driver. The same applies here.

        That’s the dumbest argument ever. Cars are made to drive. No one needs an AR 15

        what is the sense in anyone, esp. civilians have multi-round clips? That just increases the death tolls, no matter who has them

        What makes America weaker are the special interest groups working against the will of the majority. Not to mention possible money laundering for foreign governments facilitating election tampering. Elections protect the constitution not the NRA or any other interest group.
