Obama proposed to take guns away from all U.S citizens on August 6 2012. I strongly disagreed when he did this. There are plenty of reasons for Americans to be able to possess semi automatic weapons, assault rifles and high capacity magazines. A ban for semi automatic weapons would be a ban for most guns on the market. People don’t need assault rifles or anything fancy to kill people. There was a shooting in the Sikh temple where the gunman used a common 9mm Springfield semi automatic pistol. It doesn’t matter if they do put a ban on any guns. Criminals will still find a way to get them. Obama voted for all over/under and side by side shotguns to be outlawed in 2003. In 2004 Obama voted that we shouldn’t be allowed to keep guns in our homes for protection. I disagree with Obama on the simple fact that criminals will always have guns and if we don’t have them at home how are we supposed to protect ourselves? We couldn’t, we would be at their mercy. Think about that next time you decide guns are a bad thing.
