So i heard the funniest/stupidest thing the other night from a soon to be "marine"

Someone I know of who just graduated this month, is getting sent out to basic training with another friend i know of for the Marines. Both have tried to coax me into it as well... But i think i would rather serve in the Air force. Provided i actually enlist and pass that dang ASVAB test.

Any who, back to the story.... I was at a friends house with some people over, and the conversation of guns was brought up from the elections, and this guy who i'll just call "E" was saying how guns are the reason so many get killed and hurt. How he also dislikes guns, and then said that i should vote for "Hillary" because she will ban all guns and make them all "disappear" I tried to tell him that was impossible being there are more guns here in the U.S more likely then people, and half the people who own a gun most likely wont bend over and turn them in. I know i wont. I'll say i threw them in a river somewhere thanks.ffftt: I also inquired that even if God forbid such an event were to happen, that other certain people "criminals" would still get guns the same ways they do now. He just shrugged it off and we began talking about something else.

However it strikes me as a little odd, for a guy to be wanting to enlist into the marine core and not only that but volunteer for front line duty, where he is most likely going to go into combat and probably end up shooting someone, or the very least be walking around with an M16 slung on his shoulder.

My point is... has anyone else run into anyone who is like that? To where they think if a Dem gets in that all the firearms in the United States are just going to magically "disappear" as my friend claims.
