having a per capita firearm death rate 12X more than Australia, Norway or most other developed nations on earth as a serious societal problem needing attention...and action?

    - 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
        This reminds me of a prior "discussion" we had...you haven't changed a bit...always interjecting [IMAGE] - TyroneIrish - 8:23pm 12/15/25
        This reminds me of how you are handling this discussion. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 10:44pm 12/15/25
        The issue for this sub-thread on gun violence...that you joined in on...is America's 12X higher - TyroneIrish - 12:32am 12/16/25
        We started talking about your ban & buy back proposal. I get you don't want to talk about it anymore [NT] - NedoftheHill - 12:35pm 12/16/25
        It makes little sense to discuss details if you won't admit there's a problem. Do you see the U.S. - TyroneIrish - 12:19pm 12/17/25
        
        By "ban assault weapons," you mean only ban new sales of some semi-automatic rifles. - NedoftheHill - 12:11pm 12/15/25
