The left argument here is you can't have mass killings with a hammer.
Tell that to 500,000+ Rwandans murdered with objects other than "assault weapons".
Not to dismiss the plight of people in foreign lands, but we can't legislate laws in foreign countries regarding the use of potentially deadly weapons.
Can we stick to issues in the US?
Sure. Attempting to ban firearms or accessories in the US...or anywhere for that matter...only results in law abiding citizens being put a tactical disadvantage when facing armed criminals that couldn't care less out regulations.
Gun control laws do not stop crazy motherfuckers and criminal thugs from obtaining that which is banned. Never has, never will. Why would anyone want to give criminals an edge? Why would anyone seek to hamper a person's inalienable right to self defense? That's insane.
Further, attempting to ban or restrict civilian firearms ownership displays profound ignorance to the history of tyrants, foreign or domestic, that are kept at bay by a legally armed populace.
Then there's that whole "...shall not be infringed" thing.
