If knives, hands and feet had design uses beyond a means of murder, you may have a point. Could you point out the designed use of assault weapons beyond killing as many people as quickly as possible?Where did I imply that?And therefore unworthy of any consideration?So mass shootings are no problem?1% of all murders happen in a mass shooting event.
99% of murders happen outside of mass shooting events
As far as our crime and murder rates go they are the least of the problems we have.
The fact is that rifles are used in less than 2% of all murders, and in fact 6 times as many people are stabbed to death every year and more that twice as many are beaten to death with nothing more than hands and feet.
Looking objectively, and I know it's easy to get all emotional when multiple people are killed in one event, the real problems in our society when it comes to murder are not rifles of any kind.
SO all this call for "assault" weapons bans and restrictions on semiautomatic rifles will do nothing
There are 16 million rifles with magazines in private hands...none of them are assault rifles, by the made up definition of "assault rifle." The alleged "assault rifles" have select fire capability...the rifles 16 million gun owners have do not have that feature.....they have self defense rifles. Rifles used to protect themselves and their families. They are also used in competitions, target shooting and hunting.
You already know this, you post as if you don't, that makes you a liar.
