Who is an " honest citizen?" And who gets to make that judgment? No one.
Instead, guns are available to all. Honest or not.>>
Guns should not be legally available to known criminals. Known criminals are
not honest citizens.

Maybe yes, maybe no.>>
Look at the facts, I'm sure they have been posted to this list before, but
you as a gun confiscator do not believe facts, only the myths that say guns
are "bad." Do you live in a big city? Surely you were not raised in a less
populated area where guns are more common.

This is pure bullshit. It has nothing to do with gun laws and everything to
do with population and density.>>
If what you have stated is true, then gun deaths in smaller populated areas
should be proportional to larger populated areas. Explain and provide proof
that population and density are as you say.

So, there is less gun violence when everyone is armed ... the "wild west"
wasn't so wild, just free.

No, foolish one. Law abiding black citizens should be allowed their
Constitutional right to own a weapon to protect themselves. If more law
abiding blacks owned guns in the ghettos of America the ghettos would be a
safer place for everyone except the criminals.

Americans are not sane and civilized and cohesive as are the Swiss. You are
comparing apples and oranges.>>
Please explain and provide proof that Americans are not sane-civilized-and
cohesive as the Swiss. Please only the facts and not the false thinking of a
gun confiscator.

That was stupid. They should have confiscated the guns from the dishonest
citizen too. Duh!>>
The criminals are not going to willingly give up their weapons. Have you
devised a method to remove guns from the criminal element? That is exactly
what the gun confiscators want to do in America ... disarm the American
public and you have people who have to be slaves. 'Tis not the left or the
right that wants gun confiscation, but the rich and powerful elite. The
elite want to own you and are doing everything in their power to confiscate
your weapons so you cannot resist the takeover by the UN.

Ergo, the US doesn't have a crime/gun problem.>>
Can you not read? Do we have a disability? Australia and England
confiscated guns from honest citizens, now the criminals have nothing to fear
for they hold the upper hand, they have guns. If guns are confiscated from
the American public, then we shall be as defenseless as people in Australia
and England.

If it's more bullshit like this...
No thanks. >>
Spoken like a true gun confiscator. Never listen to facts, ignore them.
Always follow the religion of the gun confiscating elite, always be a lackey,
never have an independent thought. After all you have been taught to follow
the gun confiscators mantra since you entered the government reeducation
centers known as schools ... too bad you are not older, then you could think
on your own and not be a slave to the elite factions around the world.
