Civilians need tanks, the government has them.
Civilians need predator drones, the government has them.
Civilians need inter-continental ballistic missiles, the government has them.
Civilians need biological weapons, the government has them.
Civilians need nuclear weapons, the government has them.


I agree with all of these except for Biological Weapons. Governments are banned from having those.

Btw, did you know that ALL of those (except biological weapons) are protected under 2nd Amendment?

Yes, even nukes. There's even a thing where you're not allowed to possess the nuclear material, but if they successfully classify it as a bomb then you are legally allowed to possess it. Crazy stuff right? And yeah I do think that should remain in place.

Regardless of whether or not your definition truly captures what an "assault weapon" means, you've only defined its use for a military purpose, fighting similarly armed enemies at long range.
That is not a civilian use. And yet, you and the NRA fight to prevent them from being banned from civilians. Even though you allege they're less useful for mass shootings and cannot identify a single civilian use for them, so banning them shouldn't concern you.
Probably because you and the NRA are full of shit about them being less useful for mass shootings....hmm....


A handgun is

-Easier to conceal
-Can carry a lot of them
-Easier to handle in a chaotic situation.

The only benefit I see to an assault rifle is that it is somewhat more effective at range. But the concealment is far more dangerous because it allows you to get into a more advantageous position before starting your attack.

BTW: Do not ever ever EVER let the government ban something just because "You don't need it."

Make them thoroughly justify every single thing they want to ban

It figures you'd agree with blatant satire, you probably read the Onion as actual news events, too.
And do you REALLY think the US doesn't have biological weapons?
I did intend to say chemical weapons, though. Which US definitely has and I definitely don't want normal people able to stockpile.

first of all, youve already expressed your desire for a blanket gun ban. stop backpedaling


Why is this the fifth time I have to say again that I already know my personal desire is not realistic? Why do you keep ignoring it? People can have preferences and understand that it's not going to happen. I'm not even going to read the rest of your post or reply anything else to you until you stop cherry picking this issue.

Can you justify a need for civilians to need assault weapons? No, there is absolutely no logical reason for civilians to need assault weapons, as they're designed for one purpose: to kill as many people as possible.

first you tell me why we should ban assault weapons when handguns kill way more people

if your goal is to save lives, and not to infringe upon others freedoms, then explain your justification bro.


I love how you didn't answer the question.

VioletZer0 posted...
Civilians need "assault weapons" the government has them.

The greatest trick the government ever pulled was convincing us we should fear each other more than we should fear them.

Unlike you people tho I actually know what an "assault weapon" is.

An assault weapon is a rifle that uses an intermediate cartridge designed to fight similarly armed enemy combatants at optimal range (about 200-500 meters)

"Assault weapons" are less effective than a handgun for robbing people or causing a shooting.

Sure we all know that the war on drugs was an utter failure. A big ol' racist failure.

But the war on guns will totally work guys.

People calling for "Mental Health checks" should know this is racist too. This always affects poor and minority groups first.


So because one area of legislation isn't successful we shouldn't have legislation for other things?


There is no way we can possibly remove all of the guns from the US.

All this is going to do is monopolize guns in undesirable hands.


No one is asking to remove all of the guns from the US.

This. Republicans scream Democrats are coming for your guns!. They are? News to me. Last I heard, Democrats just want to ban military grade assault weapons (that civilians have no valid reason to own) and enact sensible gun laws.


What is a "military grade assault weapon" and why specifically do you want it banned?

M-1, AR-15, etc. Fully automatic (and even semi-automatic) designed to fire several hundred rounds a minute to kill as many people as possible in as short a timespan as possible. See the Las Vegas shooting as a prime example. Now, imagine when (not if) someone that has an AR-15 (because they weren't banned) shoots and kills 100+ people, perhaps a family member of your's. Everyone says "Oh, it won't happen to me or my family!"...until it does and then it becomes "Why didn't I do something when I had the chance, then (person) would still be alive today!". Don't wait until it's too late. ACT NOW.

Why are you guys still arguing with these nutjobs? You can't convince gun nuts of anything reasonable because they don't live in reality.

Two main reasons:

1) So anytime they seep out of their crevices and spout their BS, a cascade of voices fight back and let them know they're wrong. They may be delusional, but even they can't ignore being disdained by the vast majority of the populace. They'll cry "bias" or claim everyone other than them is "brain washed" or such, but they're at least forced to confront the fact that they're in the tiny minority. Still better than remaining silent and letting them maintain the illusion that everyone agrees with them, because no one's arguing against them.

2) In relation to the last point above; it's not to convince the nut so much as to convince anyone else reading the topic who might confuse silence for agreement.

not at all the point. the point is to break your terrible argument down to its logical conclusion, a blanket gun ban.

once youve gotten your opponent to say what they actually want, and what they actually mean, its much easier to shit all over them

Fully automatic AR-15's are basically banned(you can still get it but it is prohibitively expensive, rare, and you need a special license.)

So we are talking about the semi automatic that can only fire 45 rounds per minute tops.

How is that deadlier than a handgun?

or are you saying that most people are self serving piles of shit that dont DESERVE saving?

either way, it seems like your argument is folding on itself

edit: also its not just the charities. youve vastly oversimplified matters. i guess it breaks down to me being willing to let humanity thrive or crumble on its own merits, across board.

so in other words, we need to give civilians access to military drones, long range missiles, smart bombs, fighter planes, etc.so that they can effectively combat the government?

that's an interesting perspective. seems like a total 180 from someone who pisses their pants at the mention of an "assault weapons"

who are you to say what i do and dont need? who are you to say what luxuries that i dont need i am and am not allowed to have?

your argument is bad, and all you do is fearmonger. period.


Can you give one, just ONE, valid reason why a civilian needs an assault rifle? Are they planning to storm a terrorist cell hideout? A military base? Come on, I want to know!


We need it because we may need to fight the government some day.

At the very least having is a deterrent from the government.

The government has military drones, long range missiles, smart bombs, fighter planes, etc. your AR-15 wouldnt do much good then.


We have all of this and we still can't beat a bunch of insurgents with cheap rifles, IEDs and trucks.

Almost like infantry has been and always shall be a vast majority of warfare.

Its hard to beat an enemy that dresses like civilians, so you cant tell whos a terrorist.

It would be impossible for civilians to dress as themselves in their own country.

If you think the government would go on wonton slaughter of their civilians...

Their people is their capital. The country cannot function without people. If they did that, not only would they lose their capital but it would turn the decision of "Rebel or Comply" into a battle of survival. It would create far more insurgents.

Tell that to Nazi Germany, Soviet Union, China, Vietnam, North Korea, etc.

Look at America today.
Why would the US military earn at slaughtering its own civilians?
Why would they join dictator Trump? Because they want more military parades?

They wouldn't slaughter, but they would enslave.

All of the above aim to enslave their citizens not kill them all.

The genocides were aimed at a specific demographic.

They wouldn't slaughter, but they would enslave.

The military is made up of regular people voluntarily enlisting, who swear an oath to the Constitution, not the president.
Your dystopian fantasies are laughable, but please, keep entertaining us.

The only way I can interpret this thread is that you think a weapon being "military assault grade" gives it shootiness+10

literally ork logic.
