Ongoing gun violence/injury thread

I think most law enforcement agencies wouldn't participate in something this stupid.

And yes, if you've ever traveled in the rural parts of this country I think it would be pretty ugly.

So how exactly are they "law-abiding" gun owners if they would refuse to enforce or follow laws that they disagree with?

you ban purchase of assault rifles in 2018. Then 50, 75, 100 years from now our grand kids and great grand kids can live in a peaceful society. It's not a quick fix, you can't put a band aid on the problem and get rid of all of them in a couple of decades, but over time, there will be fewer and fewer mass shootings until they are an absolute rarity. But you have to start the process at some point.

yeah, this. stuff like seat belt laws and other safety measures need time to work into the culture

i don't think videogames and youtube vidoes make people shooters or desensitized to violence per se, but I do think it teaches people that guns are toys which is the problem

Do you even have a clue what an assault rifle is? It's a select fire rifle where you can switch from semi-auto to auto. These aren't legal to possess now except under very limited circumstances. Or do you just want to ban the "scary" looking guns?

Honest question for you, if the AR-15 just "looks scary", why do you suppose it seems to be the weapon of choice for mass murderers in America?

Honestly, because it's the firearm that get all the press. It's just a semi-auto rifle. There are hundreds of rifles that perform the exact same way. One trigger pull, one round fired. That's all that semi-auto is.

the AR-15 has been around for over 50 years. There are dozens of identical models made by other manufacturers.

Was Cruz's rifle modified in any way that you know of?

I actually own a number of semi-auto weapons and do know what I'm talking about. You obviously get your info from the "well-informed" msm.
 
sometimes it's useful for communication to create shortcuts to facilitate understanding.

Why? Why do you own a number of semi-auto weapons? What's the purpose?
