| The most obvious and frequent lie is "the government is coming to take your guns". ...but it's, in a large number of cases, true. Every proposed gun ban has included some sort of provision that ends up with the banned guns in the hands of the government. They're not explicitly rounding the national... |

| how can I reasonably be expected to have empathy for those who have absolutely no empathy for me and the others who until now could not afford American health care? If you had empathy for them, you'd understand that you're grossly distorting their position and motivations. How is your judgment of t... |

| Another one is that a government registry of firearm owners is scary police state stuff, Of course that raises the question on whether such a law would turn a right into a privilege. That is to say, if you do not register the guns that you currently own are you committing a crime? They could work s... |

| That's true, however if I know geeks we will find a way to make 3D printers cheaply. I hope so, there are so many applications of the technology for the average person, to see it heavily restricted would be an injustice really However this still doesn't address the easier concept of simply welding ... |

| Or you could simply print the things. 3D printers aren't exactly cheap and thanks to people manufacturing gun parts are likely to have restrictions in due time unfortunately So the question I still don't understand is how will a ban have any effect on criminals? What, you mean how they're going to ... |
