No. We just don't want people trying to ban things they don't have even a basic understanding of. When someone says "ban high capacity clipazines" it tells us they don't even know what they are talking about.
But it's irrelevant, people just don't want violent murderers to have the ability to fire large volumes of bullets at them first thing in the morning.
FFS, let us get a cup of coffee first!
If you really feel so strongly about it, you would educate yourselves the small amount required to even talk about what you're trying to ban.
I would be for a ban of semi auto weapons period. Bolt action is more than good enough for hunting or target shooting, heck even home defence, a shotgun is pump action but still highly effective.
The number one reason that I own guns is to protect my circle from the government gone tyrannical.
You are gonna defend yourself against Abrams tanks, Apache helicopters and predator drones with a rifle?
Remember you live next to a gun owner, so when they're blowing up his house, your shits getting wrecked as well.
Also Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan all would like a word with you.
Yeah, what are you going to defend yourself with? Thoughts and prayers?
