This has nothing to do with reducing or eliminating these senseless shootings. It has to do with taking away our protection. The protection that I speak of isn't from the criminals, it is from the people in government that want to destroy our democracy and to turn this country into a socialist society. When that happens, they don't want us to be able to defend ourselves and to drive them out. Take a look at Venezuela. Had the population been able to keep their guns, they may have been able to put a stop to the takeover.
