Add to that the successes that other democracies have had with such bans. and buy backs..like Australia and Canada

You're just pouting like a child who's having a toy taken away...only this one kills thousands of people each year. You make horrific choices.

    - Have you given any thought to what weapons you would ban, and how you would do it? - NedoftheHill - 8:37pm 12/14/25
      - Start with the Federal Assault Weapons Ban...then add in "Buy Backs" and penalties for being caught [LINK] - TyroneIrish - 12:14am 12/15/25
        For a mint-condition 1994 Colt Sporter HBAR, will the government pay market? Something like $2500? - NedoftheHill - 2:05am 12/15/25
        Why do you cling to weapons that cause great harm, yet serve no societal benefit? - TyroneIrish - 2:18am 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 - 10:59am 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 - 12:19pm 12/15/25
        
        "Buy backs" don't work in the US like elsewhere, ∴ I figured you might want to do it differently. - NedoftheHill - 12:13pm 12/15/25
        You offer no suggestions as to how the U.S. can get anywhere near the gun death rate of Australia, - TyroneIrish - 12:55pm 12/15/25
        
        By "ban assault weapons," you mean only ban new sales of some semi-automatic rifles. - NedoftheHill - 12:11pm 12/15/25
