hey if you are posting about the finer distinctions of gun classification when people are talking about mass shootings where the victims aren’t even all buried yet could you please explain exactly what the gently caress is wrong with you for me because I am having trouble

It's just a tactic that is used to dismiss people without ever hearing their argument. It's literally the only subject that the right considers an expert understanding to be a requirement.

If you want to undermine it in good faith, argue the anarcho-syndic believe that every single citizen of this country should be given a high powered rifle and then mock them for advocating for gun control

If you want to undermine it in bad faith, ignore it or say things like "clipazine" or "bullet cozy"

also they're doing it because they're profoundly hosed in the head and desperately need something other than the obvious to be the primary cause of this tragedy that has just unfolded

There is legitimate precedent of gun control laws based on ignorance and lack of technical knowledge resulting in accomplishing nothing but getting gun advocates even more pissed off and rightfully distrusting of gun control advocates, while not making anyone any safer.

real talk though: my advice is for anyone left of center in the US, is to just grab a gun and start finding like minded people to train with

cruz was a trump supporting chud dipshit, so his rampage shows the kinds of thing right-wing america is just willing to do now, for fun. and you can bet your local white militiamen are making lists of people to murder in your community, which includes you, if you've ever voiced disapproval of trump or suggested migrants are people.

eventually chuds are just going to go to conventions or hotels, or just any gathering of people they don't like, and start shooting, and it's going to be a regular thing. either you shoot them back or you die. cops won't do anything and the media won't report it as right-wing political terrorism, which this shooting was (and which you never hear about, only platitudes of 'mental health').

don't do any terrorism though, because that never works. but they ran heather heyer over with a car, so don't think they wouldn't go that far.

It's because previous laws were built around neolib and centrist rules lawyering that is, by design, very easy to work around. The laws weren't designed with ignorance of the specifications, because like with the NRA and Reagan in California, they were designed by the people who know the best.

How about something as simple as, "all accessories are legal but if your gun can faster than X rounds per second it's illegal" instead of 2700 pages of hemming and hawing about stuff that dumbshit lobbyists who should be executed as traitors told you to include because they had workarounds in the pipe already.

People whose #1 identity is fighting anything recommended by gun control advocates are absolutely worthless to include in anything you hope to ever have any impact at all. It'd be like interviewing me about the best way to tweak late capitalism.

if the gun advocates want anyone to give a poo poo about their opinions they can ditch the NRA and make an alternative that isnt run by death cultists. The fact is that the "reasonable" gun owners have done a poo poo job of separating themselves from the NOT ONCE STEP BACK MORON LABE crowd, and considering they're rapidly approaching being about as popular as the death of a beloved pet means they're going to sink with them.

tbh these people are commensurate cowards and the prospect of resistance to their murder fantasies horrifies them. I'm not saying arm teachers and I'm not saying every lefty should go out and get heavily armed (though it's a fun hobby if you want to get into it) but it's been a year since the John Brown Gun Club showed up at a fash rally and the pictures still get passed around some alt-right discords with people hushedly repeating half-learned lessons trying to explain every gun they have away as airsoft.

This doesn't even get into the sheer practicality of every CHUD owning a 3d printer and the requisite materials to actually produce gun components.

A large part of the solution is gonna be starving the beast, just heavily regulating the firearm & ammunition industry and it's distribution chain would go a long way to fixing the problem.

Of course you'd need a political force that rejects neoliberalism to get those regulations, the current Democrats aren't capable of it

The problem is there's already, like, half a billion guns in the country, and suddenly forcing most of them into black markets would decrease public safety for decades before it saw any kind of returns (if it ever did).

And you've still got to figure out a way to write this legislation in a way that it disarms cops, too.

I'm talking about gun manufacturing, not already existing guns. They're entirely different issues.

Also as Hovercraft said, gunshows are almost entirely unregelated so you might as well ban them and have a black market, it's actually preferable.
