(7,419 posts)We live in a democracy and since most of us don't even own any type of weapon I like my odds of banning all military grade weaponry versus your odds of keeping them available to the general population. In addition, even if you didn't support stronger background checks, again, most of us do so the loss of your or any other assault type weapon owner's support means nothing. In short, we don't need your support to do anything we've mentioned here because you're already in the HUGE minority.

"A 2017 poll by the Pew Research Center found that the amount of Americans who actually own a gun themselves is at about 30% of the country's citizens. Maybe this should be obvious math but here it goes anyway - about 70% of the people in the U.S. do not own a gun. Among households, 42% of Americans live in a home where someone keeps a gun. That leaves about 58% of Americans who live in a gun-free house."
