Current Events > Why not just ban assault rifles

(+) Yeah! (+)

You don't need those to shoot deer. If you want one just because, just understand it's for everyone's safety that you don't get to have one.

If we start banning things "for everyone's safety" this country's going to go sideways REAL fast.

Don't ban them, just make owning them require a thorough background investigation, psych evaluation, firearm safety course, etc.

Why didn't the eagles just fly them to Mordor?

We should ban human-driven cars first. They kill way more people in the US.

what do people think they mean when they say the word "assault rifle"

"We're not trying to ban all guns, just "assault rifles" (lol) you god damn gun nuts!"

*semi automatic rifles get banned, suddenly there are bolt action rifle killings*

"We're not trying to ban all guns, just "sniper rifles" you god damn gun nuts!"

*bolt action rifles get banned, suddenly we have shotgun sprees*

"OMG we're not trying to ban all guns you god damn gun nuts, just shotguns. Who honestly needs a shotgun!?|

*shotguns get banned, suddenly people are just killing each other with handguns*

"OMG when will this madness end! Why won't you god damn gun nuts get with the times!"

*pistols get banned, suddenly people are getting killed with chemical bombs*

"OMG you god damn clean freaks, how many fucking chemicals do you people need!"

Isn't 'assault rifle' just a name that gun companies attribute to guns but the only real common factor among them is that they are rifle sized? The fire rate isn't universal, SMGs can outfire many of them, they use different sizes of ammo that many standard and bolt action rifles can, etc. Not all have semi or simulated fully automatic fire.

Or how about we teach kids right from wrong. Raise them up properly. That's the problem with society these days. No one wants to discipline their kids cuz each one is a special snowflake. This is what happens

If you can assault rifles, not one gun being sold today would be affected

No it isn't. No military that takes itself seriously would bother much with semi-auto.

It's mostly men and boys committing these acts, and most of those are white. It's toxic masculinity and teaching boys to avoid dealing with their emotions at all that's created generations of men without empathy. And you've seen how many CEmen tout being logical over being emotional like women, as though having zero emotional IQ is somehow proof of being logical.

Yeah, but it's clearly military grade cause it looks like a military gun.

Isn't that how this works?

You've picked the wrong board to make these (extremely valid) points, friend. Go far, far, away from here, because almost nobody on this board is going to engage with your argument on its merits.

If you're saying that these things are going to keep happening, why wouldn't you want to regulate the thing that is most efficient at causing death in a single incident?
