firearm death rate vs. Australia. Thus far you haven't expressed any concern for that appalling statistic, nor have you offered any ideas on how to improve the situation. Your only 'contribution' is nit-picking over details on some future legislation that will take months of negotiation by many experts. It's frankly ludicrous to get into such minutia here on the Open Forum...but I suspect you're well aware of that path down the rabbit hole.

So, let's stay at the 'Policy Level' discussing Goals and Objectives...i.e. Achieving National Gun Death levels on par with developed democracies like Australia, Germany, UK, Japan, etc. And since all of them have utilized major restrictions on gun ownership, including bans on Assault Weapons....that is unless you're content with the Status Quo.

Thanks for ceding me the control of this discussion...how about stating your opinion on the Policy and Goals I mentioned...are you For or Against them, as a starting point?

    - 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
        I will wait until you answer my easy questions before I respond. (I won't hold my breath, though.) - NedoftheHill - 4:15pm 12/15/25

        By "ban assault weapons," you mean only ban new sales of some semi-automatic rifles. - NedoftheHill - 12:11pm 12/15/25
