    It’s totally supported. Many many guns are illegally owned in Mexico. Making things illegal doesn’t mean people will not get them. Hunter Biden is a perfect example of that fact.

    there are likewise many many countries that have guns banned and have higher murder rates than the United States. That’s why people like you like to limit the conversation to terms like “modernized countries” or European countries.

    Trumps a gun grabber so why didn’t you like him?

    And Australia is a perfect example of the opposite. As is the UK. We have low criminal ownership of guns. Now prove the contention that “there are likewise many many countries that have guns banned and have higher murder rates than the United States. “ and we limit it because we don’t want active war zones included or drug cartel run third world countries

    You’re on an island. The smuggling of guns would be much harder in that case. Most countries that ban guns have higher murder rate than the United States. Also you are cherry picking. There are countries that banned guns and have higher murder rates than the United States. If that’s the case then it’s safe to say laws don’t stop people from illegally owning guns or committing murder. It’s a culture problem.

    I want to remind you that you like to report people so this will be your last warning. If you go off topic you will be reported. To keep it on topic you must discus Trump and gun grabbing politicians, not the comparison of countries. There are other threads for that. Do it again and get reported.

    @Bowerbird quit with the off topic nonsense. We are discussing politicians that are gun grabbers here in America.

    Hemenway is one of the major jokes that the gun banners trot out. He's a paid shill for gun ban inc. one of his studies claimed that a home with guns in it is X times more likely have a murder with gun shot (duh)

    but he counted homes where the intruders brought the gun to a disarmed home or to an armed home (which meant that the guns in the home were not relevant). I note that the map you have has MEXICO with a higher murder rate than the USA, same with the RSA. want to tell me about the gun laws in those two countries?

    Don’t go off topic. This isn’t a debate about banning guns. This is a thread on why gun lovers should not vote for Trump.

    well who should they vote for if the other choice is Biden? we have established that Trump has appointed three fairly solid pro gun justices. WE have established that Biden-both when he was on the Obama/Biden ticket and now with Kamala Harris-has appointed or was part of appointing three hard core gun haters,

    so you really have no choice, If you stay home that is almost as good for Biden as voting for him

    I won’t vote or find a third party to vote for. No supreme judges will be retiring soon anyway

    If you want to argue that, sure, but if you get a Republican who allows uncontrolled immigration, or you get a Democrat, it will be far worse for your position.

    Despite whatever Trump's personal views may be, he's probably not going to be pushing any gun control. He has nothing politically to gain by that. All the people who want gun control loathe him and will never give him any support no matter how much he compromises, whereas all his most loyal supporters would dump him if he ever tried pushing any gun control.
    I suspect he personally doesn't care too much about the issue, whatever his personal opinion or inclinations may be. It's really not a priority for him compared to other issues.

    Before you choose to "dump Trump", you might want to identify an alternative that would actually end up being better for your position.

    As you should know, given another 10 or 20 years or so of uncontrolled immigration, the conservative pro-gun freedom position is probably going to end up being over.

    I am sure Biden loves hearing that from people who claim to be pro gun. I didn't think Scalia would retire either. He ended up dying earlier than we expected. A woman I knew well had no health issues other than a couple kidney stones. 64 years old. recommended weight, no nothing. Last tuesday she didn't wake up. i was at her funeral a few days ago. Another woman-the mother of one of my former US Team members that I coach went in for a routine biopsy. there was some issue, her lung was punctured-I was at her burial two weeks ago. She was younger than Clarence Thomas

    I will not give my support to a gun grabber. Specially the only one who has done forced confiscations and destruction orders. Even in Australia they bought the guns during confiscation. So I can’t understand why @Bowerbird doesn’t like the gun grabbing moron

    agreed but I know a couple things. he is a big fan of the Federalist society (run by close college friends of mine BTW) and they are keen about judges how rule correctly on the second amendment. Plus Trump's sons-especially Don Jr, is hard core pro gun rights.

    you're mad over bump stocks and you pretend that Hillary wouldn't have done the same or worse if she was president in reaction to Paddock's massacre in Vegas. I guess you lost one of those things given your intransigence on this issue and your all or nothing silliness

    yawn. you seem unable to understand the concept of courts and how they are the main player in what is going to be protected and what not

    It's obvious that you apparently destroyed a bump stock. I know dozens who stashed them figuring one day that idiotic change in the concept of machine gun by the ATF is overturned. But your desire to get revenge by not voting for who is by far the better choice for gun owners, is just plain moronic in my view and i bet in the view of most gun rights advocates

    Silliness… it’s silly that Trump done something to take away property and gun related? You’re not much of a gun advocate, you’re a Trump advocate that doesn’t stand up for anything you believe. That….. is a silly position. He will go after every gun accessory that gets used in a mass shooting and has proven that. That will only make crazy lefties more prone to go commit murder under a weak man like that. The only thing they need will be a few deaths to ban whatever they want.

    well let's see what the anti gun rights groups think

    I couldn't find ANY gun banning or gun restricting groups that endorsed Trump

    that's a silly argument. I think you are the only person I have ever seen who thinks Trump is worse for gun owners than Biden

    It’s far from silly. I know many many gun owners that claim a revolution would result from confiscation in America. However when Trump done what he done he proved that’s not true at all cause those very people back him up for some awful reason
