"we don't want to ban weapons"

*shitty bill that could ban all weapons doesn't go through*

Weapon ban

Stay classy Florida

So staying classy is changing political opinion because a bus load of kids decided to forego school and show up at your doorstep?

we should probably define assault weapons

A gun with one or more cosmetic components that makes it look like a military weapon. These include folding stocks, pistol grips, and non-wood bodies.

Basically, it's a gun that looks scary. The functionality, including caliber and if it is semi-automatic or not does not matter.

yep

i honestly am not sure what the folks on the left pushing for the ban actually want

i think what they want is a bad on all semi-automatic fire weapons

which would be rather difficult to achieve

Abortion is not in any way comparable to this, and you desperately calling it "murder" completely destroys any incentive to take you seriously

Lmao the fucking irony. You got kids? Have you ever heard a sonogram? You can hear a heart beat. That's a living organism. It's ending a life. Again, if the person can LIVE with that, that's fine by me. Their choice. But let's not say it isn't murder.

Abortion has practical use

Such as?

Women who are raped and conceive? I'll relent.

Any other instance? We have tons of other forms of contraceptives that prevent pregnancies.

We also have adoption as a very viable option as MANY couples cannot conceive and would love to have a baby.

I'm not pushing mass murders for my agenda. I hold zero ill will towards people who choose to abort. My agenda is with douche bag hypocrites who use tragedies to push their issues.

And trying to make people believe you care about human lives when you promote abortions is my issue. Don't be a hypocrite.

Civilian AR15s aren't assault weapons. Don't know why people don't get this.

It's for the sake of the kid

For the sake of the kid? or, an easy way out for the mom?

And lmao, how did I figure you would bring up adoption, the option that leaves thousands of kids unwanted and without a family.

So let's just kill em'. Great first choice.



There are literally tens of thousands of people who can't conceive who want children. How would they be unwanted?
