A Fresh, New Gun Control Option Everybody Can Agree On
In 1863 a Democrat shot and killed Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States.
In 1983 a registered Democrat shot and wounded Ronald Reagan.
In 2007 a registered Democrat named Seung-Hui Cho shot and killed 32 people in Virginia Tech.
In 2010 a mentally ill registered Democrat named Jared Lee Loughner shot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and killing 6 others.
In 2011 a registered Democrat named James Holmes went into a movie theater and shot and killed 12 people.
In 2013 a registered Democrat named Adam Lanza shot and killed 26 people in a school.
One could go on, but you get the point, even if the media does not.
Clearly, there is a problem with Democrats and guns.
SOLUTION: It should be illegal for Democrats to own guns.
Yes, it should

I'm not too gun info savvy, but I'm pretty sure these results are biased. I mean certainly there are some republican shooters. The idea that recent mass shooters are mostly registered Democrats is a myth. It was later determined that the Colorado Theater Shooter ►James Holmes was NOT registered to vote◄, as evidenced by this retraction: {Newly-released information on the suspect’s birthdate (which, as indicated in our initial report, was a slight mismatch The claim that Adama Lanza is a registered Democrat has been suggested based ►not on any evidence◄ that he was registered as one, but on the rather dubious claim that because Connecticut has almost 2 to 1 Democratic registration over Republicans, he was probably a Democrat. According to at least one media source, Nancy Lanza was a registered Republican. The source does not provide a link, but the author of this article is seeking further confirmation The acts below are instances of right-wing violence that are unequivocally committed by people who are openly hostile to liberalism. •James Oliver Huberty, who told his wife he hated “children, Mexicans and the United States” opened fire inside the McDonald’s Restaurant in San Ysidro, CA •White supremacist Buford O. Furrow, Jr., fired 70 rounds with an Uzi-type submachine-gun inside the lobby of the Jewish Community Center in Granada Hills, CA •Former U.S. Army private, Jim David Atkinsson, who hated Democrats, liberals, African Americans and homosexuals, using a Remington Model 48 12-guage shotgun, murdered two people and injured seven others inside the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church in Knoxville, TN. That's all I'll include from this source. Those are some key highlights but by all means give it a look for yourself and see what you want to see. The point of all of this, from someone like me is, you can literally find exactly what you want to believe, with a thorough (or in my case minor) search. So you can't really buy too much into the media on matters like these, they'll tell you what they want you to believe. Side: No, it shouldn't

The Oklahoma city bomber Timothy McVeigh was a registered Republican and very openly conservative, much of his rhetoric was very anti government. What about Ted Bundy serial killer who was a massive supporter of the Republican party and contributed to the workings of the Republican party! Gun Control based on political ideology is one of the most unconstitutional things that can be done and it most certainly can't work. Side: No, it shouldn't
How is it unconstitutional? Democrats want Democrats to not carry guns, and Republicans want Democrats to not carry guns. He doesn't actually think Democrats should have gun control imposed on them. That was the point. You are taking this debate too serious. Side: Yes, it should
