There's nothing uniquely deadly about the models included in the AWB vs. grandpa's hunting rifle in the same caliber. It's a red herring.

no because concealed carry laws are basically exactly the same as they were in 2007? nothing has changed, if you live in a city you know that most of the gun violence is young guys killing each other, mass shootings are like a tiny percentage of the thousands of people who die every year due to murders over the street drug trade.

the new heroin markets have made this worse and it’s why Baltimore is becoming a war zone as the drugs make their way up to Philly and NY. it’s like the late 90s crack boom again.

Remind me the difference from "shall issue" and "may issue" again? Shall issue is you get your permit unless the police have a reason not to issue it, where "may issue" is they issue the permit if you have a "good" reason for it - (and I dunno the police can deny it arbitrarily if you are one of THEM as far as the police are concerned?)

No restriction just seems like a bad idea all around though. Is anybody excluded there? Convicted criminals? the mentally ill? Because let me tell you mental illness, especially schizophrenia, are things

If the accessories really are worthless, it should be no big deal if they were banned, right?

Option C, where I think the best way to go about cutting down on spree shootings would be to restrict access to high capacity magazines, which was the part of the AWB that worked. The "you can't buy an AK but an AR is fine as long as it doesn't have a bayonet lug" part, not so much.

the AWB was a really badly, stupidly written bill. Like, that's undeniable.

I know we all like to make fun of gun people who insist on knowing the difference between a clip and a magazine, but I think if you're going to regulate guns it's probably helpful to know about guns.

Correct me if I'm wrong but every single accessory portrayed in that dumb image makes the rifle deadlier (more accurate, less visible, etc.). "Evil black" is a transparent and pretty pathetic attempt to both deny that you know the reason why matte black might be banned (same reason why it's used in the first place: low observability) and ridicule the opposition

Gun owners should just go ahead and admit that mass shootings aren't an accident, they're intrinsic in the design of the things. You don't just buy a semiautomatic rifle but the promise of at least a magazine's worth of deadly mayhem, which is your God given right as an American, that you may or may not opt to exercise

I don't even want to argue with you, I'm just so charmed by the fact that you think black guns are deadlier than regular guns.
