    And I said why do I need to? I’ll just simply say that we need to prevent criminals from owning guns as much as possible to be hard on crime. They won’t learn otherwise.

    How do you know if someone is a criminal or not?

    And do you trust the meteorologists opinion on the forecast or are you’ve just being pointless obtuse? Seriously if this is the argument you’re going g to make then I am putting you on my ignore list. What is the point you’re trying to make? Scientific illiteracy is a problem in this country?

    If I say I don’t need to know... then that is your answer.

    Your "70%" claim is opinion, not fact.

    Do you mind showing me the science behind 70% of Americans being criminals? Cuz I'm pretty sure 70% of us are not criminals and those are the only people you can legally deny the ability to buy a weapon (minus felons and kids).

    Not a good idea. Guns are far more likely to be fired for a criminal purpose than in self defense.

    Likely true, though entirely immaterial, given that its impossible to determine how often guns prevent crime without ever having needed to be fired at all. Criminals fear getting shot, and avoid crime where they think they are in danger of it. At best guess, based on surveys, indicates that this likely happens somewhere between 400,000 and a million times per year in the US. Granted, most of these crimes are only temporarily prevented, as the criminals surely move on to safer crime... but its a great boon to those willing to bear arms.

    who is more likely to be limited by a magazine ban-the honest homeowner who only has time to grab his gun when there is a break in in the middle of the night, or a criminal who has planned a mass shooting or a home invasion.

    its complete nonsense. I was a DOJ attorney for 24 years, It is mindless blather to claim that 70% of Americans have committed felony offenses

    she obviously hates the American standard that someone is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

    They also say that is too many round for self defense (these standard capacity magazines they call high capacity), but they never include the cops in on a ban on them, when the cops (not us) can call for backup.

    So really they just say anything, true or not just because they want us all outgunned by the same cops they protest for being violent killers. Same with letting the cops keep the guns they claim are only good for mass murder. If these things are only good for mass murder and terrible for self defense, then the cops should not have them.

    Last time I checked, cops do not have mass murder in their job description, so they don’t need a rifle the left says is only good for mass murder. They also only need things good for self defense. If the left truly feel these rifles are terrible for self defense, then the cops should not need or want them.

    We know it is all bullshit. They don’t trust the cops, but want them to be are better armed overlords. No thanks.

    Well, your unwillingness to answer destroys your premise. It’s a tacit admission you can’t be trusted with firearms and we better find someone else more qualified to shoot the foxes! LOL

    1if I said yes then you would have called me a liar.
    2. You would have done what you did if I said I was.

    So it doesn’t matter what you say. You would have made up some stupid excuse about why you can attack me.
