violating newly enacted laws against ownership of such weapons.

12 to 1 reduction in mass shootings not good enough for you? Is Perfection your only measure for justifying action by our government?...or is your addiction to blowing up watermelons with AR-15's just too much to sacrifice?...Really now...WHY do you cling to such totally non-productive items with only negative (i.e. Lethal) social value? You're intelligent enough to know that making such weapons available to the general public means that stochastically, mentally unbalanced people will get their hands on them...and use them to act out their murderous fantasies...with no possible way for law enforcement to predict who they are and stop them. That's the reality...so if you care at all about saving citizens...and little kids...lives, you can go to a shooting range that has any 'Assault Rifle', or even 20mm cannon, you'd like and blow up as many watermelons as you'd like.

This country has Zero NEED for such weapons...there's NO Downside to "depriving" anyone of such ownership.

Licensed bolt action hunting rifles would still be available...and as for "Home Defense" guns, they are a prime source of suicides...and stolen weapons...MUCH MORE than 'Thwarted Invasions'...I've got data to. prove it.

btw, If it's latent insecurity that drives you to covet guns, there's help available for that...and it's confidential.

        For a mint-condition 1994 Colt Sporter HBAR, will the government pay market? Something like $2500? - NedoftheHill - 7:05am 12/15/25
        Why do you cling to weapons that cause great harm, yet serve no societal benefit? - TyroneIrish - 7:18am 12/15/25
        OK. So you don't know how to go about this. Let me know when you learn how you want to do it. - NedoftheHill - 3:59pm 12/15/25
        We've actually banned assault weapons before, as I've shown you with the Wiki link...plus we have - TyroneIrish - 4:18pm 12/15/25
        I'm curious if you think this weapon should be banned? It was explicitly exempted from the 1994 ban. [NT] [IMAGE] - NedoftheHill - 5:19pm 12/15/25
        
        "Buy backs" don't work in the US like elsewhere, ∴ I figured you might want to do it differently. - NedoftheHill - 5:13pm 12/15/25

        It makes little sense to discuss details if you won't admit there's a problem. Do you see the U.S. - TyroneIrish - 5:19pm 12/17/25
        
        By "ban assault weapons," you mean only ban new sales of some semi-automatic rifles. - NedoftheHill - 5:11pm 12/15/25
