Assault Weapons...I don't need to respond to Straw Man arguments.

We've done this before...let's do it again...Lord knows we have an order of magnitude more firearm deaths than any other major democracy on earth.

We can indeed do much better...why don't you want to see that happen?

    - Yep [NT] - Frankx - 1:14pm 12/14/25
- I wonder how they got those weapons. Australia has very strict gun laws. [NT] - Hensou - 8:48am 12/14/25
  - Presumably that's why the hero who took the gun had no idea what to do with it. [NT] - iairishcheeks - 2:10pm 12/14/25

    - 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
        We've actually banned assault weapons before, as I've shown you with the Wiki link...plus we have - TyroneIrish - 11:18am 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
        
        I love it. He's asking you very detailed, important questions and you are completely flummoxed - MarkHarman - 6:54am 12/15/25
