No one is trying to dismantle the 2nd amendment, no matter what the right wants you to believe. And no one is trying to take anyone's guns away. When was the last time anyone had a gun taken away during or because of a democratic presidency/ administration? None that I am aware of. I have several guns, both long guns as well as handguns and I've never been threatened or felt threatened that I was going to loose any of them. I am for banning assault type firearms, except for law enforcement and the military. I am also for mandated and more thorough background checks. But nothing we do will totally eliminate all crimes that are committed with firearms. I do think however, that we can do better than we are doing.
