The record will show that I have posted on this thread a fair amount today -- but I have no fucking idea of most what you are are talking about, and the little that I do understand has no relationship to what you are talking about.
Yes, if legal for them. AR-15 is just a gun. A modern sporting rifle. There is nothing special about it. Most only shoot .223 cartridges. The idea that it has some kind of magic firepower is dumb.
I do have an new idea. Let's look at how many shooters have had prior contact with law enforcement or mental health. (Most, I'm guessing.)
Let's work on stopping dumb stuff before it happens. The guns are just a tool of the crazy guys.
Why do I need a gun?
I am an American with civil liberties. I and my family live in a rural area, many miles away from any law enforcement. I am a licensed hunter.
Guns are important to me.
Thanks. I believe that the stats you guys all cite are heavily influenced by gangbanger-type stuff. Look at big city shooting violence. They are criminals and DGAF about laws.
All of you "mass neggers" on this topic (no racist) -- are definitely not advancing civil debate. I enjoy civil discussion. This is a complicated issue.
There are a lot of very smart people on this forum. It would be great if we could engage a bit.
I'm pragmatic, not ideological.
I don't see how anybody is going to be safer if my guns or your guns are somehow "controlled."
Criminals, by definition, are lawless.
Obviously not. Murder has been adjudged as illegal for a long time. Yet it still happens, notwithstanding the legal (and moral) constraints against it.
The non-murderers have a constitutional right to defend themselves from criminals (who assuredly will be armed regardless of what sort of law is invoked).
