I don't know what you see but the assault rifles on the right are very different from the ones on the left. There is a lot of hardware on the guns to the right that make them more lethal.
If the point is that they are all semi-automatic and banning only the ones on the right is useless because the ones on the left can be modified, then fine and thanks for the advice. Let's ban them all. Every gun going forward should be single round bolt action. You can still hunt with that, can't you? Everything else should be taken back. A buy back, then prison time if you own one.
I don't want that. I'm saying that's where we are headed if gun owners don't start working with each other to bring the rate of homicides due to gun violence down to that of other more civilized countries..
I'm all for doing something. We have talked before. I'm just not going to support an all out ban.
What do we do? I'm for strengthening background checks. Maybe treat them like an NFA item. Tax them a little more and require and more thorough background check.
I really don't want this stuff to happen. I try to be civil and discuss this and get attacked over beliefs that have nothing to do with guns. Get belittled. What good does that do?
I see a post that calls an ar15 a spray and pray weapon and then say its built for hitting helmets at 500 yards. Which is it?
The ar15 is an excellent hunting and even self defense platform. You can run .22 long rifle, 9mm and .308 rounds. They have the socom .458 and beowolf .50 which are large pistol style rounds. The pistol rounds are good for home defense. The .22 good for squirrels. The .223 or .308 good for deer.
They make .223 and 7.62 home defense rounds.
My point is I'm willing to work at it.
blame human nature, not guns is my point.
if i want to kill somebody, i'll kill them with a plastic spork if i had to.
People seem to be ignoring that fact. I mean you can buy black powder by the case. If people want to kill they will. People have been slaughtering each other since the beginning.
There is a reason people are going on rampages. Yes. I get the ar15 is being used. I get that maybe part of it they are trying to top each others kill number.
At the bottom of it though there is a reason for the increase in mass killings.
