By now we have so many exhibits disproving the claims that “No one’s talking about repealing the Second Amendment” and “No one’s talking about taking away your guns” that it’s beyond a doubt: yes, there are people who want to take away your guns, and they’re not being quiet about it.
Take, for example, “experimental media darling” Laura Shippen, who was reacting to the school shooting at Sante Fe High School in Texas Friday morning.

This but there’s no “until” for me. Just take em away. https://t.co/ibGcUtYoW1

Since the gun grabbers have yet to get around to “taking them all away,” can we at least be glad the school police officer who confronted the shooter was armed as well?
And this is why gun owners and constitutionalist don’t believe in the left’s ‘common sense gun control’. #2ndAmendment #NRA #houstonshooting #GunControlNow #Texas https://t.co/8eL6xOmDXk

But all they want is “common sense gun control,” which means …?
“No one is saying we want to take away your guns.” https://t.co/acR83mxkML

This is the only logical conclusion to the pro gun control argument. It is important to understand exactly how radical people like this are. https://t.co/1lvEP7LmjX

You, a reactionary: Ban all guns!
Me, a pragmatist: Let’s talk private gun sale loophole, Extreme Risk Protection Orders, gun insurance, and school protection mechanisms rather than something that violates the Constitution. https://t.co/yXqlhhtDI7

Let me be crystal clear: I 100% want to take away your phones. F*** your first amendment. Until children stop dying due to texting and driving, absolutely f*** it. Take them all away.
That's what you sound like. https://t.co/jwz5vovRbU

How about no.
You won't see change by politicizing the issue that schools are unsafe. It's not about guns, it's about safety. There needs to be more SROs and security. Taking the right to defend oneself from millions of people will not stop criminals.

do you really think that would solve the school violence issue? if some crazy kid REALLY wanted to kill his classmates, he'd find a way. he'd make a bomb, he'd run em down in his car or something. banning guns is a very naive and totalitarian solution. hell no https://t.co/KaMWQ3yNCX

Taking away guns from law abiding citizens who wish to defend themselves and their families is not the answer.
There are 300 million guns in the US. If mandatory gun confiscation was implemented, the worst elements will remain armed and dangerous. https://t.co/lP6oiJ8W5o

And how do you propose to accomplish this mass seizure of firearms? Perhaps…with guns? https://t.co/lo4qChhEa8
— Garrison (@hughes_garrison) May 19, 2018
Good luck trying to seize guns from law-abiding people. That won’t work, and these tragedies won’t be stopped by such confiscation.
Rhetoric like this will not accomplish necessary reforms. https://t.co/pUESb1J565

Let me be crystal clear: Taking my guns will not stop the slaughter of children in school, or anyone for that matter. My guns will protect my family in the event of a home invasion. The liberal mindset is crippling this nation. https://t.co/co695WKuUW
