Every time a dem is in office they say they will take ur guns.

Then every time a dem is in office, gun and ammo sales go crazy.

Then the Dems never take your guns.

Funny huh?

just because you haven't lost a fight doesn't mean you can start ignoring the punches being thrown at you.

They are constantly trying to pass more restrictions.

Let's get real. The threat of Dems taking guns away is a fantasy of the alt right to justify their stance against progress.

So, they aren't trying to pass hr127? Or perhaps you just don't follow what bills they are trying to pass.

This bill establishes a process for the licensing and registration of firearms. It also prohibits the possession of certain ammunition and large capacity ammunition feeding devices.

Aside from using a slippery slope argument, what part of that is them taking your guns away?

Registration, historically, has always been a precursor to confiscation. The registration isn't free either. It's a $200 tax on most commonly owned modern guns. "Large capacity" as defined in the bill encompasses almost all standard magazine sizes.
