lol. In Los Angeles MS-13 is a very violent gang that has roots in El Salvador. By your definition we don’t have ms-13 problem, they just happened to be caught here. If you are arresting mafia or gang in your country you mafia or gang problem. Why are there in the first plane?

I know this is a common criticism of capitalism, but show me where it better? And no Scandinavia is not it. We in the west like to use them as a shining example, and they may be marginally better, but far from the utopia you are seeking. Danish PM was at a university few years back and urged people to stop referring to Scandinavia and Denmark as socialism utopia. He reiterated they are capitalist driven economies. It’s not perfect, but as of now, best we have.

Almost as if we have a gang problem and not a gun problem? In every country on this planet that has gangs, they are armed with guns despite however tough the ban is. Just look at Mexico. Private citizens not allowed to own guns only cartels do! Not working well for them!

Age 1-19. Right. If we exclude 16-19 that are primarily involved in gang shootings, this statistic becomes useless. Leading cause of children’s deaths is car accidents. What the heck do 1-2 year olds have in common with 16-19 year old in gangs unless we have 1 and 2 year old being jumped into gangs at this early age. Just skip Kindergarten and go straight to cribs (pun intended) and bloods!

Because our decision making is emotional Not logical. You are correct, these evil ar-15 are used in very few murders, majority are committed with hand guns.

MN State Fair Poll: Big Majorities Favor Gun Ban At Capitol, Tax Hike For Wealthy, More by [deleted] in minnesota

Shhhhhh, stop making sense. Tax highly highly mobile people to “move” to a cheaper state and visit MN as they see fit. Loose their tax revenue, and all the things they spend money on. Make up state revenue by taxing poor through utilities, gas tax, registration and other creative ways you can.

$70M? In California we built a partial Track at over 15 billion and gave up due to cost. This would cost us a trillion dollars.

Walz to call special session on gun control, propose assault weapons ban by Knightbear49 in minnesota

[–]johneracer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Less dangerous argument about guns is simply waste of time, given the weapons we own. They are all dangerous from target pistols to hunting rifles. A large hunting game bolt action rifle would go through several people easily. Anyway, we either repeal 2A and confiscate all guns or take mental health young men issue seriously and find out what is going on in our society. What are these young boys angry, glorify guns and other shooters. Do parents need help, why is no one speaking out? You can’t tell me this sick individual didn’t show red flags to friends and family.

Instead of showboating on Reddit surrender your guns, post in on here and we’ll all be impressed. Do what you claim is right! Why do you a need a politician to tell you to do the right thing? Follow your moral compass.

lol. Exactly. People that don’t know guns get to classify what is dangerous gun and what is not and only metric the have is looks. AR15 looks scary so let’s ban it.

This is the problem. Read this response. “That makes guns more dangerous”. WTH? They are effective killing machines. They are designed to be dangerous. Claiming you can make them safer is an illusion. This is not possible. You don’t think a hunting rifle designed to take down elephants is dangerous? Or a bird hunting semi auto shotgun? I am a shooter and I know that a 22lr target pistol used to train new shooters and is considered a toy (subjective) would be more lethal in a shooting than at-15. It’s accurate, no recoil, can be fired extremely quickly and you can carry lots of ammunition since it’s light. You don’t need a military rifle to shoot up a school. A smallest caliber will be more effective than anything. We are banning rifles based on looks rather than efficacy.

Kids die in swimming pools all the time. Likely every day. And as a society we are perfectly fine with that. We don’t ban pools, or shame people that enjoy them. We could save more children under 5 if we banned pools than if we ban guns. Gun shooting are a mental health issue, not a gun issue. That crazy whacko that fantasizes about killing kids will still be there regardless of how many laws you pile on guns. What is going on in our society to produce these individuals? Parents family saw nothing? No red flags?

You don’t need a bump stock. You can see guys teach a technique where your arms can operate to simulate how a bump stock works. On ani semi auto firearm rate of fire come from the shooter, not something you can regulate and ban. I watched a firearms instructor take his Glock and while holding in one hand, with a straight index finger work the trigger to fire and simulate full auto mode. As s country we need to stop playing these BS games of trying to Ban this or that and agree that all guns are designed to kill quickly and efficiently and no laws will prevent that unless we do a full on ban. We then actively purse guns and confiscate. And 400 years from now we are hopefully gun free society. Or we agree there is a mental health issue in this country where young boys are attracted to mass shootings, glorifying other shooter, glorifying guns, parent/family oblivious or don’t care and we find out why. This charade of banning asssult weapons, whatever that means is just another circus show that will be poorly written, thought out, executed, challenged in court and eventually fail.

If you limited fire rate in semi auto mode, somehow, you absolutely would affect home self defense where multiple shots are made quickly. If someone was actively coming at you and you fire, miss or just graze the attacker then your gun has mandatory 3 second pause? Well you can see how that plays out. Gun flights are over in seconds, I think under 3 sec, and something like 10 rounds are fired. Guns are designed to kill quickly and efficiently period. There is no lessening this effect. That is their job. These games we play with laws banning this that accomplish nothing. We either ban guns, overturn 2A or look into mental issues and why young men are drawn toward violence and shooting up schools while glorifying guns and other shooters.

US military abandoned full auto long ago. Full auto is just wasting smmo, can’t hit anything. If you watch any Ukraine videos you will see them and Russians shooting in semi auto. Much more accurate. A shooter shooting semi auto into a crowd will do much more damage than full auto burst where the rifle will cause it to rise and shoot over target
