Assault weapon ban?

Because they won't follow regulations that are put forth for the law abiding citizens.

 

I think it would be hard to argue that banning them would not make it harder for criminals to obtain them. And I have not heard of an instance when an average citizen and a crazed gunman gun into a gun battle with ar-15/ak-47 type weapons.

 

AK's and AR's are illegal in Mexico, but guess what....

 

Everyone, if you are getting your facts from the Republicans or Democrats, you are probably wrong. If you are getting your facts from the press, you are probably stupid. This is a good place to start:

Mexico and the United States are not even comparable.

 

Please tell me how? If the average Mexican citizen had access to a weapon, the cartels would be in less power to do what they do.

Mostly all weapons in Mexico are illegal, but somehow automatic weapons get there and used all the time?

 

We need a repetitious catch phrase thread so we can merge all these threads into one

 

No its not. Is it relevant that 2.8% of gun homicides are commited with rifles??

 

Most have been locked for someone bringing retarded politics into it. This one hopefully will not.

 

That's cause the American Government, under Eric Holder/Obama, gives them automatic weapons. It part of an ingenious plan to crack down on automatic weapons...

 

Trying to keep this thread from politics. Delete it, or change it. Thanks.

 

100% of vehicular homicides are committed with cars... Is that relevant?

 

RED cars! Let's ban all RED cars! That is our problem.

 

absolutely not

 

Yes speed limits are irrelevant to gun control. No, it is not irrelevant that 2.8% of gun homicides are committed with rifles. But I would bet that number is significantly higher when looking at instances of multiple homicides.

 

We need to ban silverware, for it causes obesity. Television, because it causes stupidity. Cars, because they can be driven drunk. I think it's also a good time to ban plastic bags due to suffocation concerns.

 

People with red cars drive faster...

 

So the fact that mostly "assault rifles" are being talked about pertaining to gun control and they are a very low % of actually homicides is not relevant. Color me clueless. So i guess he couldnt have do the same thing with a glock like the VT shooter??

 

Don't bet - Back it up w/ facts...

 

I think they are being talked about because of the undeniable firepower "assault riffles" provide. If such atrocities can be committed with handguns, what could and "assault rifle" do?
