Sure, there are some democrats who want to take all the guns away, the same way there are some conservatives that want a free gun to come with every Happy Meal. Generally democrats don't want to take all the guns away. We just want some sensible gun laws, especially in the wake of national tragedies. The reason why the argument always comes back with a fury is because no changes are made to gun laws in the wake of one of these tragedies. Just do SOMETHING. It doesn't mean taking your gun away. It means making sure that irresponsible owners never get one.
I'm a democrat and I even own a gun. Shocking? It shouldn't be. Some of us even have whole arsenals. We just don't take constant pictures of them like they were di*k pics.
