I agree that not all liberals want to confiscate all the guns, but some do. I would rather the NRA not be so much like Chicken Little, but that is better than ignoring it. steveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08862590608695420004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5397103.post-12689758600595474002013-01-18T08:48:46.351-06:002013-01-18T08:48:46.351-06:00Ok.

Like you I don't think that will pass, but the letter seemed to imply that we liberals wanted to take away all your guns, not just the ones being banned. That is their message, isn't it? That we hate the second amendment and want to ban all guns? <br /><br />I will concede there is some confiscation discussion, but again, I don't see much in the NRA's position that is about reason.

As for confiscation, look at the some of the proposed legislation. That is in it. I doubt it would pass, but to say it hasn't been considered is not true.steveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08862590608695420004noreply@blogger.com
