Think They'll Never 'Come and Take' Your Guns Without An Armed Revolt? Think Again

I have an alternate proposal. How much money are you willing to shell out to personally reimburse law abiding gun owners who will be impacted by your "solution?" Oh yes, those scary looking rifles....they can be "easily fixed" to fire a "fully automatic round?" In what universe; and how is that different from "semi automatic round?"
Has it ever occurred to you that of the last 30 shootings, all but one have happened in "gun free zones?" Anyone with a modicum of skill could inflict at least as many casualties as happened at Parkland with any kind of firearm at all. When you have a five to ten minute response time by police while an armed officer on the premises tries to get his thumb out of his ass, you could kill seventeen kids with a single shot .22. Or a revolver or a bolt action rifle. The only deterrent that has been proven to work is fear. Criminals avoid people and places where they are likely to get shot. Not once, not ONE SINGLE TIME have I heard a single gun grabbing liberal suggest a mandatory death penalty, or life at hard labor with no possibility of parole. The only solution you have is to penalize the law abiding gun owner. I can see your point. I mean after all, bans worked so well with alcohol and drugs I don't know why we didn't think of it before.

If they are against the law and you are in possession of one then you aren't a law abiding gun owner.
How just how are you going to get 17 kids to stand still long enough to get shot with a single shot .22?
As for fear--the majority of shooters end up dead--so why is someone who has the expectation of death going to be afraid if someone is armed? I mean after all they know their SRO's are armed and that hasn't scared away anyone yet.
Now for a ban, how many machine guns are on our streets? So if bans don't work why aren't they plentiful?

If machine guns aren't plentiful, it isn't because they are banned. There are many other factors which contribute to that. They are cumbersome, they jam frequently and frankly, criminals don't need them in order to carry out their evil. Less troublesome models work fine for them. If you ban semi-autos, you will be keeping them out of the hands of law-abiding citizens only. Criminals will not stop using them.
