Let's talk about guns. . . . . .

A weapon that is capable of burst-fire and/or full-auto-fire.

Semi-automatics are not able to fire bursts or continuously, so they can’t be assault weapons: assault requires the firepower, it’s why the capacity exists. A semi-auto is not a capable battle rifle because it is single-shot. It may be self-cocking and self-reloading, but it is not capable of the rapid rate of fire that field combat use demands.

Yes, that means there are NO semiautomatic assault rifles, no matter *what* they look like.

Who cares how fast you can shoot if you aren't hitting what you are shooting at. Especially with ammo prices and availability being what they are.

Another good reason to reform gunz law, I think free healthcare should be available to all, mental health crises need medical intervention not guns to off the suicidal.
America is looking very backward compared to many European countries, the fact that this thread exists is a testament to the atavism present in the right wing ideology of Trumpism.
Joe is going to take your fucking guns.

I think it’s in the eye of the beholder lol. I collect guns and do occasionally hunt (it was a passion for many years but I’ve lost the urge). The issue IMO is not wether it’s an assault rifle or hunting or a target shooting weapon. In the hands of a untrained, brainless, or mentally disturbed person any firearm is dangerous with the sole purpose being to kill. The US has devolved into a mutual destruction mentality with firearms. Yes there needs to be a semblance of control, no not everyone has the right to own them, it, like a car, carries responsibility that should be earned.

Everyone has the right to own and use the means to protect themselves from people who initiate aggression against them.

It's true, not everyone will use guns in a defensive way against other humans, which is the ONLY acceptable way to use them in that realm.
Your idea falls into that category, since it "authorizes" the use of offensive force in order to try to prevent offensive force. Lame.

For instance, to implement your fantasy of "responsible gun control" you'd have to use or threaten to use guns in an offensive force manner in order to take them, or force registration etc. against otherwise peaceful people who own guns for defensive purposes. You are an authority worshipper and make an exemption for some people (the people you worship and obey) to have more rights than others.

Your silly idea is self contradicting, an illogical failure and reeks of a master / slave mindset.
