Guns and Assault Rifles are not the Problem, mentally ill people with Guns and assault rifles are the problem.

[Blues Man]

Why do you think they restricted the Tommy gun in 1934?
Because it was a weapon of choice............ALSO, for people who couldn't shoot.

An automatic rifle and a semiautomatic rifle are not the same thing. Never have been never will be.

 

[Smokin' OP]

Dipshit...las vegas is the only one where a rifle actually mattered....any of them could have been done with any other rifle, pistol or shotgun...

You're FOS, Q-NUT.

 

[2aguy]

WTF, Q-NUT?
SINCE 1982
30 YEARS?

More people have been killed by the AR in 10 years.

One set of statistics, from the Associated Press, USA Today and the Northeastern University Mass Killing Database, found that AR-15s have been used in ten of the 17 deadliest mass killings in the US that have taken place since 2012.

These incidents include the 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas that left 60 dead, as well as the Sandy Hook Massacre in Newton, Connecticut that killed 26 people - including 20 children.
Another database, kept by Mother Jones magazine, suggests that the culprit in the Louisville shooting was the seventh to use an AR-15 in a mass shooting in the last 11 months.

A remtal truck in Nice, France murdered 85.....injired 450 in 5 minutes....more people murdered in less time than any mass public shooting ever...

According to you, that means rental trucks must be banned

 

[Blues Man]

SO, what weapon are they going to grab first?
Do they grab a knife, when the AR is sitting on their gun rack?

Don't care.

Banning a rifle isn't going to stop people killing each other and history proves it.

The murder rate in the US today is about what it was in 1950 BEFORE that evil AR 15 was even available

 

[2aguy]

You're FOS, Q-NUT.

The shooter in Vegas was firing at 400 yards.....you dumb ass....

 

[Smokin' OP]

An automatic rifle and a semiautomatic rifle are not the same thing. Never have been never will be.

Doesn't matter.
THE weapon of choice for gun nuts, the AR-15, their go to weapon, just like the Tommy gun was for criminals in 1929.

You idiots made it popular .....if you idiots gave as much publicity to ahotguns these idiotts would be
using shotgums...

The AR 15 is nothing but a semiautomatic rifle just like any other semiautomatic rifle.

All your whining about it will never change that FACT

Restricting a Tommy gun reduced deaths by that weapon.

The murder rate in the US today is about what it was in 1950 BEFORE that evil AR 15 was even available

Even if that were true, it isn't, there were almost no mass shootings.

Sure..............NRA spokesperson.

Even if that were true, it isn't, there were almost no mass shootings.

But it dis not reduce deaths overall so IOW banning it did absolutely nothing.

Mass shootings aren't the rifle's fault it's the fault of our sick society.

 

[Blues Man]

Sure..............NRA spokesperson.

You haven't offered any proof that the AR 15 is somehow magically more deadly than any other semiautomatic rifle chambered for the same round.

And FYI I , like most gun owners, am not a member of the NRA

 

[Smokin' OP]

But it dis not reduce deaths overall so IOW banning it did absolutely nothing.

They didn't ban the Tommy gun, they restricted it.
I couldn't find any stats on the 1934 NFA, but gun deaths dropped during the 1994 restriction by 37%.

Mass shootings aren't the rifle's fault it's the fault of our sick society.

It is, when people grab an AR, instead of a knife.

What ever the restriction still did not reduce deaths overall so IOW it didn't actually DO anything just like your coveted ban on a particular rifle won't actually DO anything.

If a person hell bent on shooting up a school can't get an AR he'll just use something else. Even an idiot like you should realize that.

 

[Smokin' OP]

Yes, it is, more people die from an AR-15 in mass shootings than any other rifle.

chambered for the same round.

"Chambered for the round"?
Yeah, but people aren't using 30-06's or .308's to kill the most people in a small time frame.

And FYI I , like most gun owners, am not a member of the NRA

Either am I, since sometime in the 90's.

IF they do, they will be taken out a lot sooner, reducing casualties.

Because it is a more popular rifle not because it is more lethal than any other semiautomatic rifle.

Idiot.

A semiauto chambered for .22 WMR would be just as deadly in a school shooting

 

[Blues Man]

Even a moron like you should realize that.

Any other semiautomatic rifle can fire as fast as an AR

 

[elektra]

Democrats are the problem, we can all see the demoncrats support lawlessness

 

[Smokin' OP]

YES, it is.......moron.
More people shot...............more casualties.
A .22 will usually go right through a person, an AR- 15 round expands and ricochets, damaging more body parts. increasing that chance of dying.

Idiot.

A semiauto chambered for .22 WMR would be just as deadly in a school shooting

22WMR is a much more powerful round than .22LR. It has almost twice as much muzzle energy as .22LR in some rounds, which gives it more punch when it hits the target. When a round of .22WMR hits the target, it can penetrate almost three times as far as .22LR.
