We need guns for self defense.

From who?

People with guns.

Let's make it harder to get guns.

So you want to take my guns away!

Suppressors are to protect your hearing.

Well, actually they don't reduce noise enough to protect your hearing. A $20 over the ear protector works better than a $500 suppressor.

What? I didn't hear that . . .

More guns means less gun violence.

That doesn't make sense on its face. Put more cars on a freeway and there are more car accidents. Put more swimming pools in a community there are more drownings. Besides by EVERY SINGLE MEASUREMENT there is a correlation between the number of guns and the number of homicides and suicides.

So you're coming to take my guns away!

Obama's going to take our guns away!

Well he better get right on that, he's only got three months left.

Hillary's going to take our guns away!
