Why do so many liberals desperately want to disarm the law-abiding American citizens?

Question

Are they afraid of us?

Answer 1

The rights of THE PEOPLE to KEEP and BEAR arms shall NOT BE INFRINGED.
OK people this is pretty simple the people is the citizens of the United States. Keep means to own or have possession of. Bear means to carry and wield. And Shall not be infringed means absolutely, positively, under no circumstances, will it ever be taken away, diminished, or messed with in any way.
All gun control is unconstitutional. And yes it is based upon fear. The object of disarmament is to limit a person's ability to cause harm. But these people foolishly mistake the ability to cause harm with the intent to do so. Law abiding gun owners have no intention to harm anyone. Privately owned guns are parts of collections, hunting weapons, or for personal protection. There is no way to completely strip away the ability of humans to cause harm. It is far better to leave your people able to defend themselves from those who would seek to cause harm than to insure that only criminals are armed and law abiding citizens will be easy victims.

Answer 2

As a well trained handiler of firearms and even a trained observer of trends and what-not (Thanks to all of you who paid taxes in the 1980's, nothing is free and I could not have afforded the training on my own.) I would caution that you are falling into a trap that is set to pit you against liberals. I, myself, am a life long conservative but have many liberal friends, many of whom I hunt with and shoot with.
The trick to it is that gathering up the guns isn't on the liberal agenda, at least not for most liberals, gathering up the guns is a politians agenda. Look at the carrier politicians of both major parties, read their platforms on their web sites. Then reveiw their voting records. The Politicians of the country are the enimies on this one, not "liberals".
It was politicians who passed the Class 3 ban in the 80's, with almost no grass roots support, but like the Nazi's and the communists, they used the press to stratigically cover the rallies so as to make it appear that a ground swell of support wanted to see Class 3 weapons banned.
Now politicians use issues like gun control and imagration to pit Americans against one another so that we are less likely to notice what they are up to. Don't let it happen. You have differances with liberals, but got to meeting of them and talk to some. For the most part you'll find that they are just like you and don't want to see any freedoms stolen at all. Politicians on the other hand, well, listen to the speeches and then check the voting record, you'll soon see who the real enemy is. And it's not the guy across town who thinks that universal health care is a good idea.
>Hey Zardoz (Dumb movie by the way) If this guy is willing to use his firearms to defend freedom, he is a militia. The National Gaurd is not a Malitia, being as it is supplied with Government owned equipment and it's people aren't volenteers, they are paid, with Tax payer money.

Answer 3

because of the fact while you're making weapons obtainable to regulation-abiding voters, criminals can get them too. each offender grow to be, at one time, a "regulation-abiding citizen". and don't make excuses approximately Virginia Tech. a college of 20,000 pupils won't be able to computer screen each pupil's psychological well being status. That gun could desire to in no way have been offered, however the politicians of Virginia refused to require ideal history exams at gun shops with the intention to dodge dropping gun proprietors' votes in the elections.

Answer 4

I can agree with that as far as the guns but it is not just liberals. I don't like anyone that wants to take it to extremes and hope any law that gets proposed and takes it to far will always get rejected. I know what they say they are trying to do but who honestly thinks that very tight rules and restrictions will keep it out of the hands of criminals. I never knew a criminal that cared how they got their weapon just as long as they got it rather it was legally purchased or not.

Answer 5

I am a liberal and I do not want to disarm anyone. I know, however, that liberals are not "afraid" of you. They know what can happen when stupid people get guns. Now, of course that's not saying all non-liberals are stupid, just like in any group of people - liberals, conservatives, independents - there are always stupid people who mess it up for everyone else. If nobody has guns, then nobody can die from guns. It's a romanticized idea, but hey, you've gotta give some people props for their extreme hope!

Answer 6

What are you talking about? Most of the liberals I know own guns. As a matter of fact alot of liberals own guns. Why are country and suburban so paranoid about their guns being taken from them? It hasn't happened and it won't happen.
I agree with Wolf on this subject. I live in inner city L.A and I would love to see alot less guns. And, most of them owned by gang bangers are bought legally at gun shows which do no background checks. You absolutely have to admit that there are far too many idiots who have access to guns out there. You don't even have to be a citizen to buy one legally.

Answer 7

I'm a Liberal gun owner, so I obviously don't advocate a total ban on gun ownership. I do believe that there should be some control over who is allowed to own a gun. Folks on both sides of the issues need to come up with a compromise they can both live with instead of having one side that thinks there should be no control at all arguing with those that think all gun ownership should be outlawed.

Answer 8

You might want to check your Bill of Rights. They are dwindling and it has NOTHING to do with liberals.

You obviously aren't concerned about the fact that the 4th, 5th, 6th and 8th Amendments have been effectively flushed down the toilet after having been used as toilet paper by Bush and Co.

I'm sure if Bush and Co declare martial law and demand your weapons, you'll relinquish them in the name of the perpetual war on the Constitution of the United States of America.

Answer 9

Patently untrue.

Liberals want more gun control, but percentage wise, the difference between cons and them is separated by a single digit.

Signed a gun packing USA liberal who now lives in the PRC where guns are outlawed altogether, which is fine by me. In the USA that would not work.

Peace

Answer 10

Because there is no guarantee they will remain law-abiding citizens. Plus, liberals don't understand why anyone would need a gun. If a crazed gunman comes at you, they think psychological counseling will disarm them. Hunting is just cruel and should banned. So, to a liberal, what's the point of owning a gun?
