If no one buys or even picks up a gun, it's an inert chunk of plastic and metal that does NOTHING.

Oh right, "If we ban those bad guns, the criminals won't use them!"

Most criminals don't even use assault rifles, they use pistols.

I don't have an AR-15 or AK-47, and won't buy one.
They're junk.

But this "Blame the gun!" mentality just gives the rwnj's more ammunition to attack us.
