Let's say we do. Please explain/define exactly what an assault rifle is so I know what you are looking to "band"
I got a feeling you're not going to be able to do it. You lefties can't even define what a woman is.

The man entered the Greenwood Park Mall with a rifle and several magazines of ammunition and began firing in the food court, Greenwood Police Department Chief Jim Ison said.
An armed civilian killed the man, Ison said at a news conference. In total, four people were killed and two were injured, he said.
We need to reinstate the Brady bill. The stats from 1994 to 2004 are good enough for me.TC Talks wrote: ↑Mon Jul 18, 2022 6:21 pmOh good, databmw wrote: ↑Fri Jul 15, 2022 5:49 pmAs long as people like you keep spewing your ignorance on this topic, I will keep posting a link to this person's youtube channel:

People defend themselves with weapons every day.
Here's some valid data that calls your YouTube video bullshit.
Also, everything I see suggests only handguns we're used in the low incidents of defense. So why do we need assault riffles? Let's band those today and see where mass murder attack numbers go...

Rapid fire? Semi-automatic's all fire the same, it is fired each time you pull the trigger. Are you suggesting we ban all rifles except single shot?
You never wanna answer the question posed. Always playing games with semantics or showing off your vast gun knowledge.
Before you go casting shame on people - do you care about every single one of the 15,000 children who die all around the world every day? Or are the lives of children who die by gunfire worth more than the lives of children who die by other means?
That's the thing, semantics are important. Just calling something by a scary name that has no meaning to drum up support pisses me off. I don't think a group of people that know little or nothing about firearms have any business deciding what will be prohibited for law abiding citizens to own. It would be like appointing someone that knows nothing about logistics and technology to be Secretary of Transportation or a person that is clueless about how our power grid works as Secretary of Energy. Oh wait.Honeyman wrote: ↑Mon Jul 18, 2022 11:07 pmYou never wanna answer the question posed. Always playing games with semantics or showing off your vast gun knowledge.
I grieve and am saddened by the actions taken by these evil, mentally disturbed individuals. My heart goes out to their families and loved ones. I choose to place the blame on the people that commit these atrocious acts rather than the tool they choose to use. When the Surfside condominium in Miami collapsed, killing 98 people, did you place the blame on the tools used to build it or the people that failed to build and maintain it properly?Honeyman wrote: ↑Mon Jul 18, 2022 11:07 pmBut when it comes to the morality involved, you never say a fucking thing.
Hundreds of kids have died for no reason. Tens of thousands of family members will never be the same. And you honestly don't care. That is the saddest and sickest thing about it. Shame on you.
I think you're missing my overall point. Banning what you and others call an "assault rifle" will not do anything to keep these mentally ill people from doing what they did. There are any number of rifles that you wouldn't call an "assault-rifle" that can do as much and in some cases more damage. They just don't look "scary." The only way to accomplish what you want is to ban future sales and then go house to house confiscating all semi-automatic rifles. What will the next step be? Confiscating pistols too? The consequences of doing this will just make the illegal gun trade, which is already thriving in Detroit, increase.Honeyman wrote: ↑Tue Jul 19, 2022 11:35 amThe king of WHATABOUTISM strikes again.
How many people built the Surfside condo? From planning to grading to construction.....thousands. How many killed the people watching a 4th of July parade? One. A classroom in Connecticut? One. A country music festival? One.
What object gave those individuals the power to kill so many?
Because many of these deaths are preventable. Don't let 18 year olds buy AK-47's.bmw wrote: ↑Tue Jul 19, 2022 12:24 pmHoneyman - you're missing my point as well. You've latched on to a tiny, tiny subset of children who die every year and have said shame on anybody who doesn't care. What I'm pointing out is that you can take that number and multiply it by the thousands to account for kids that die from other causes. I, as an individual human being, don't have the mental capacity to genuinely "care" about every child who dies young. That may sound cold, but it is true of me and of everybody else. What I have asked you to explain is what makes those particular children more special or with lives more valuable than every other child who dies every 6 seconds.
So "preventable" deaths is the distinction?
The topic of this thread is AK-47's so that's what I happen to be discussing. The fact that you are obsessed with Covid reactions and want to bring it into every fucking thread on the goddamn board, only proves what a one-note douchebag you are.bmw wrote: ↑Tue Jul 19, 2022 4:09 pmSo "preventable" deaths is the distinction?
How many children are dying every single day around the world right now, whether it be because of hunger, suicide, or whatever - as a direct result of the world's over-reaction to Covid and locking everything down for the better part of a year, and the consequences that continue to pile up to this day and beyond because of that? You don't care about those, because the lockdowns kept YOU safe, right?
