Why do liberals want to ban guns in America?

Its just typical state propaganda that wants to disarm the people so it can control them easier. The excuses are different but the end game is always the same. While guns in everyones hands will cause some problems, guns in only the all powerful states militarys hands with no resistance from the people will lead to a great revolution where hundreds of thousands must die.

Because as the case with many other topics, they are uneducated on the issue and reactionary.

Because by their logic if there were no guns their could be no shootings. It makes sense in theory. Unfortunately, life isn't lived "in theory"

They don't.

They want lots of things. They won't get guns. They may get more restrictions that keep poor people from getting guns and that will be OK because I'll revel in their hypocrisy.

Honest opinion from a moderate who owns guns. Yes there are some extreme Berkeley types who want to outright ban guns. Most have probably grown up in an urban environment where they think there isn't as much of a need or demand.

The vast majority of Americans do not subscribe to this belief, but I think most support limited regulation. You get into slippery slope argument saying background checks lead to gun bans. I own 12 guns and support the second amendment but I am not totally against background checks with mandatory gun safety for new gun owners.

This guy would have been able to purchase guns legally and pass all checks so much of this will done very little for this situation. I do think being dismissive to those who are nervous about guns creates an environment where sensibility ends on both sides. The NRA has done a great job pissing off sensible people by becoming ultra political. I stop being a supporter about 6 years ago when it was obvious they are just stoking fear to sell guns.

so we can be Venezuela

There is nothing done there that they do not want to do here.

They think they will do it better.

As Janet Jackson succinctly sang, "control-l-l".
