:I completely disagree. This is what we see happening (although I would dispute using the word "conspiracy"). People on the left have the goal of totally eliminating guns from society. Sounds strange? Well, these are the same people who want to unite Europe [http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-president-of-france-wants-eurozone-members-to-transfer-their-sovereignty-to-a-united-states-of-europe/5463350][http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/eu/10918134/Italy-to-push-for-United-States-of-Europe-when-it-holds-the-EU-presidency.html] and eventually the world into one unified country and eliminate borders entirely from the planet.

:The only reason (in the U.S.) why liberals have not succeeded in banning guns is because guns are popular among regular people, and the Second Amendment prohibits them from enacting a complete ban. Fun fact: in 2008, the Supreme Court was '''one vote away''' from making it constitutional to enact complete handgun bans and effectively eliminate the Second Amendment (see [[D.C. v. Heller]]). Some municipal bans on possessing handguns were only struck down in 2010 (see [[McDonald v. Chicago]]). The courts and the people oppose the liberals, so they have to proceed slowly. I'm sure the situation is similar in Europe, even though gun control is more popular and the gun laws more strict. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 21:46, 22 April 2017 (EDT)

:::We need to be as factual as possible. There are liberals and conservatives, Republicans and Democrats, etc. on '''both''' sides of this very complicated issue. A gun control law can be designed to prevent insane people or young children from accessing guns without eliminating all self-defense weapons. The article needs a complete rewrite to highlight the current set of controversies, and it is very out-of-date. [[User:JDano|JDano]] ([[User talk:JDano|talk]]) 18:49, 14 July 2017 (EDT)
