When was the last time a democrat, or anyone, tried to take your guns away? Not happening. I think you can forget that imagined threat. I imagine all DUI auto deaths are unintentional. We should try to keep drunks away from automobiles and severely punish those who cannot be restrained.
During the campaign then candidate Biden promised to remove and take back all "assault" type guns. So yes, it IS being attempted. They are still looking for a way to do it. And no, I don't think the threat is imagined, and I will not forget it. I absolutely believe that weapons in the hands of citizens protects ALL of our other freedoms. You may have a point about the DUI deaths, but does that make a difference? How many times are LEGALLY OWNED guns used to commit violence in the United States? I honestly don't know, but it will be interesting to find out. I suspect it is very few. Statistics indicate that guns are used millions of times a year, in the US, to PREVENT crimes, including murder and assault.
