His argument is retarded anyway. Law-abiding gun owning American citizens are not the ones who interfere in other countries' business. It is our government that does that, not private citizens.
That same government that interferes in other countries' business is the same one who wants to interfere with law abiding Americans right to defend themselves..
It is so ironic that he doesn't get it.
People really need to quit confusing the United States government with private American citizens.
No doubt he'll now say something like "who elects your leaders? The private citizens do!!"
That is the way it is supposed to work, yes, but as the last election has proven, it is actually usually the deep state who decides who becomes president and there isn't much that private citizens can do about it other than protest but if we do that then we risk getting arrested for it.
Sure we could always just pull the gloves off and engage in a violent attempt of a complete overthrow of government but most of us don't want to go down that bloody route... not yet anyway.
It pissed me off when Trump engaged in those missile strikes against Syria based on flimsy evidence that Assad actually gassed his own citizens but as a lone private citizen there wasn't much I could do about it other than complain on social media or call my congressman or senator and raise hell about it.
It was also the government colluding with the lying media that lied about Saddam have WoMD which they used as a pretext for invading Iraq and removing him which destabilized the ME and caused many American and even more Iraqi deaths. Yet people still go around and pretend that that same media and government is trustworthy lol.

No, that's not what I would, or did say at all. Learn to read.

How do you fellas propose taking the almost 400,000,000 guns in private hands in the U.S. out of private hands?
I am not insinuating that it can't be done. Obviously they could never get them all since 2 of the 6 in my posession are registered to long dead men.
I am just curious. What is the big plan to get guns out of the hands of private citizens?

One such thing is gun buybacks. Turns out if you give people money for their guns they often times rather have the money than an illegal gun that could cost them.

Again, common everday Americans have never interfered with your insignificant, little country's business so quit lecturing us about ours.
Not so insignificant, considering America wouldn't be where it is without immigrants, a large portion of which were Irish.

Hey, maybe stop being a coward too. I called you out for your stupid fantasy, not America itself. You are not America. Nor are you representative of it.

That might get some from people that don't really want them in the first place.
Guns are registered to a purchaser when bought for the first time. Gifts, resales, inheritances just aren't traceable. I doubt the government could locate 1/2 of the guns in private hands. Making it illegal to keep them won't deter most people. Without a way to take them I just don't see it happening.

That's just an opinion. We've seen other countries pull it off.

We've seen other countries ban alcohol too.
Many happen to be Muslim majority like Afghanistan, but believe it or not parts of Canada and Australia have bans to this day.
Such a ban was proven a pipe dream in ANY parts of the US (Possibly excluding some small religious communities of Amish and such)
