The issue isn't that gun owners aren't willing to admint there is gun violence, and we all have great solutions on what to do about it.

The issue is that we are fighting against "take all the guns away." It is hard to reach a middle ground when we have already been told "Oh, we are just taking away the fully automatic weapons, that's all." then a few years later "Now we are just taking away those mean ol assault rifles... don't worry, we won't do any more!"

Of course gun owners are going to dig there heals in. We have already GIVEN up rights.

The thing that pisses me off, is when I say "we've already given up rights" the immediate response is "Well, why do you NEED those rights anyways? Why do you NEED an ar 15?"

Fuck you, that's why. Because the constitution says I can have it. Oh wait, the grand furher cuomo dictated that guns that are black are bad, so I can't have one.

Frankly, everyone tells us that it's not the majority of muslims that are bad, just extremists, and we can't persecute the majority for the actions of a few.... yet it's ok to do with gun owners, because for some reason, that's "ok."

I'll be honest: you will take my guns from my cold, dead hands. I'm tired of "meeting in the middle ground" and having the middle ground being pulled more and more to the left.

So here are my solutions: people found in possesion of an illegal firearm? Life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. Commiting a crime with an illegal weapon? Death penalty. "oh that's too harsh! It's infringing on their rights!"

Sorry, guess I don't agree with giving up my rights so CRIMINALS can continue to have theirs.
