Its a sad shame. Now everyone plays the blame game..
Maybe instead of guns being the problem it's the people that shoot them that's the problem, people who are asking that ARs be banned and shit aren't looking at the big picture where the majority of of deaths (the ones that happen daily from guns) are from handguns not these rifles, and a decent percentage of them are also suicides. If the U.S. took psychological help more seriously and parents locked up their fucking guns how they're supposed to and taught their children that they aren't toys maybe we'd be in a better situation right now.Anyhow I'd be against banning all guns since criminals will find a way to get them regardless leaving the victim in any future situations shit out of luck, I do think that restrictions on certain guns that fire quickly or have large magazines is reasonable however.

Yeah that why the army use pistols when they fight wars ofcourse. Because there is no difference in the effectiveness of a automatic rifle and pistol.
Stats do not lie. Look at the deadliest mass shootings, the weapon of choice a rifle. The least deadly mass shootings pistols, why do you think this maybe ?

And what do you think would happen if magically no rifles were available anywhere?
Answer: A dedicated nut would simple use a handgun. A handgun is even better because it is easily concealed. A handgun can shoot just as many rounds just as fast as a rifle. And that is why any sort of "assault gun" ban is idiotic.
No shit you moron ofcourse they would use a hand gun. Can you read the stats provided to you or are you brain dead ?
Much less fatalies with hand gun mass shootings, what would happen less people killed when a mass shooting occurs. That's the point .
I think you are void of any brain cells.

As above stats prove hand guns are not better. You have said something which is clearly not true ignoring any evidence provided to you. I have a full spreadsheet of 100's of mass shootings. It clearly shows hand guns are much less deadily. Jeez what a idiot.

Your point was, "the weapon of choice a rifle. The least deadly mass shootings pistols," Now that you've moved the goalposts, we get to the real goal of all the, "let's enact reasonable gun restrictions" That being total confiscation of all guns. So just like the "gun free zones", the bad guys keep their guns, law abiding citizens get theirs confiscated, and you have a disarmed citizenry that is defenseless against government tyrants and other criminals. Sounds like a utopia for morons.
Oh and your previous posts about armed citizens not being able to defend themselves against government tyrants shows your ignorance of recent history including the battle of Athens and numerous cases of citizens successfully defending themselves against mistaken government raids.
Then there's your stupid, "we just need to check them better, like Japan..." The kid that did this was checked out high and low with multiple reports in multiple agencies that he was unstable. That didn't help, did it? Plus all the other factors that make comparing US gun violence to Japan a comparison of apples and oranges.
Finally, we have the fact that Schools are safer today than they had been in previous decades. https://www.npr.org/2018/03/15/59383...ls-and-reality
While we're at it, let's roll back other annoying civil rights like free speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, right to vote etc. I'm sure we can find some "reasonable" ways to get rid of them to further advance the utopia.
LOL which is it, handguns better or worse?As above stats prove hand guns are not better. hand guns are much less deadily.
It's too easy debating someone that can't think rationally, much less, have a command of English.
Please quote me I never said anything about this

How did i move the goal post ? you do not like that I owned you. You dragged up a thread that I last commented on 3 weeks ago for whatever reason.
My only arguments was regarding not all guns being the same, which i provided evidence clearly showing they are not. Nothing more nothing less. Did i mention gun laws then ? NO Did i mention anything else then No ? Did i ever say this ''that being total confiscation of all guns. '' NO.
You put words in my mouth, tell me i have that view and then proceed to shout at me for it. What a idiot.
I argued with what you said as it was incorrect, you said hand gun were better, this is not true. STATS prove this. I will only argue with you when you say something that is not true.
You then waffle on about some other things so in-coherently that it is hard for me to to even get your point and make a counter argument. Well done.
How is taking away the most deadly weapons, equal total confiscation ? You understand what total means 100% ? you are again saying things which are clearly not true. I DO NOT THINK TAKING AWAY HAND GUNS IS GOOD.
''Oh and your previous posts about armed citizens not being able to defend themselves'' DID NOT SAY THIS. YOUR IGNORANCE SHOWS AS YOU CANT EVEN WORK OUT WHAT I SAID AND OTHER PEOPLE SAID. It was pro gun cursed that mentioned those things. Again what an idiot.
I never said Japan was 100% applicable, i posted one video as a point of reference that could be looked at . I made no comment on the video or compared gun violence.
So what if schools are safer than previous decades ? New York is lot safer than previous decades. Should the NYPD just stop what there doing and say oh well were much safer than before no point initiating any new policies ?
LOL idiot you said 'A handgun is even better because it is easily concealed'' it is better in terms of it can kill more as in it is more effective (better ) in killing lots in a mass shooting scenario. I said it is not better ' As above stats prove hand guns are not better. hand guns are much less deadily. '' They are not better at killing lots of people they are much less deadly in a mass shooting scenario therefore an assault ban is useful. Do you understand what you said ? Idiot.
You can think rationally. You have repeatidly said things which are clearly not true. If you say something is true which is clearly not true it does not make it so.
Well done.
Come back so I can rip you again.

Gladly:
Good luck against there tanks, fighters, navy + drones etc. You can shoot at them with your piddly little gun.
First you said,How did i move the goal post ?then when I pointed out that if rifles disappeared the weapon of choice would be a handgun and it would be just as deadly.Look at the deadliest mass shootings, the weapon of choice a rifle. The least deadly mass shootings pistols
Then you said,followed by this train wreck of a sentence:No shit you moron ofcourse they would use a hand gun.Much less fatalies with hand gun mass shootings, what would happen less people killed when a mass shooting occurs.Which is factually wrong, as I said, a semi-auto handgun can fire just as many rounds just as fast as a semi-auto rifle. If there were no rifles all your stats would simply shift to show that mass shootings would be just as deadly and just as bad with handguns.My only arguments was regarding not all guns being the same, which i provided evidence clearly showing they are not. Nothing more nothing less.
Clearly you are looking for some sort of "reasonable gun restrictions" on rifles. My point was that the goal of a vast amount of anti-gun nuts is total confiscation of all guns. That goal cannot happen in one move, therefore the strategy is to move in that direction one step at a time, starting with "reasonable gun restrictions".Did i mention gun laws then ? NO Did i mention anything else then No ? Did i ever say this ''that being total confiscation of all guns. '' NO.
See the above. If you are concerned with safety, banning rifles will not fix things, and could potentially make them worse. See below.How is taking away the most deadly weapons, equal total confiscation ? You understand what total means 100% ? you are again saying things which are clearly not true. I DO NOT THINK TAKING AWAY HAND GUNS IS GOOD.
Clearly you do have an English language writing and comprehension problem. I made the point that from a mass shooters perspective, a handgun could be better since it is easier concealed. Just so you get it, that means from a public safety perspective a handgun could be much worse since it can be transported and deployed with much less visible presence.I argued with what you said as it was incorrect, you said hand gun were better, this is not true.
Actually you did:I never said Japan was 100% applicable, i posted one video as a point of reference that could be looked at . I made no comment on the video or compared gun violence.Clearly implying that Japan's laws should be applied in the US.Yes nothing can be done ?
So there is nothing broken thus nothing needs fixing. Sounds like you got a knee jerk reaction and demand that "something, anything" be done. And that something is apparently banning rifles which won't fix anything or trying to import Japan's laws to the US.So what if schools are safer than previous decades ?
LOL. Calls me an idiot and doesn't understand the basic mechanics of firearms, namely that pistols can deliver just as many rounds, just as fast as a rifle. The only edge a rifle has is accuracy long distance. These mass shootings are mostly close range point and shoot, not sniper picking off specific individuals. Oh, and keeps yapping about "stats" which I've already pointed out are meaningless in the context that handguns would simply replace rifles as the instrument of choice and the rest of the numbers would be the same or worse. But hey, let's go down the slippery slope of banning rifles, that will surely make things better, and everyone will be satisfied at stopping there on infringing on the 2nd amendment.LOL idiot you said 'A handgun is even better because it is easily concealed'' it is better in terms of it can kill more as in it is more effective (better ) in killing lots in a mass shooting scenario. I said it is not better ' As above stats prove hand guns are not better. hand guns are much less deadily.
