So let's hand out semi automatic rifles with 150 round magazines.It's not just AmericansWe’re an inherently violent culture; in America violence is sanctioned as a legitimate means of conflict resolution – from corporal punishment in our schools to capital punishment in our prisons, and in foreign affairs our propensity to resort to the use of military force.Can you please then explain the disparity in the number and frequency of gun massacres in the United States and other industrialized western nations? What makes our nation more prone to gun violence? Our culture? Our preternatural tendency to be less mentally stable? Or our open and unfettered access to guns?And here is that same bullshit statement gun control advocates like to trow out even though it is blatantly false.
Not wanting to do anything is NOT the same as not wanting to enact more useless gun control measures that will accomplish nothing. Most people want solutions - the problem is that gun control is simply not a solution and there is noting to back up the vapid claims that it is.
There’s really nothing we can do about sanctioned violence in American culture, at least in the short-term; we can do better with regard to affording all Americans access to affordable healthcare – including mental health intervention and treatment, but the political will is not there.
Likewise, there’s no political will to restrict access to AR 15s, where doing so would be on shaky Constitutional grounds, given the fact that less than 2 percent of gun crime and violence are committed with long guns, the majority of such crimes being committed with handguns, and that school shootings have been on the decrease in recent years.
In order for government to restrict a fundamental right, it must have objective, documented evidence in support of doing so – and that evidence simply doesn’t exist to justify banning AR 15s.
As with other problems and issues we face, more government and more government regulation is not the answer – it’s not the answer with regard to drug and alcohol abuse, it’s not the answer with regard to unwanted pregnancies, and it’s not the answer to gun crime and violence.
People are violent
Always have been
Always will be
Yes...the bait and switch.....you call 150 round drum magazines high capacity to fool uninformed voters, and then when you asswipes create the legislation, you ban standard magazines.........
And As I posted before, there should be no sales tax on rifles and pistols and there shouldn't be a tax on ammo as well.....
So 150 is not high capacity?
My God you are such a moron.
You admitted that they are available.
Ban high capacity magazines & autoloading rifles.
Why no sales tax?????
