Who cares? A semi automatic sure did kill
a lot in Vegas.
A gun lover will drown you with the minutiae and tedium of the lexicon of all things firearm. They will point out your folly in wadding into the world of guns and attempting a solution to the havoc guns bring.
They will tell you that as no law designed by the mind of man can act as a panacea, no further laws need be written. The perfect is the enemy of the pragmatic. They will tell you that gun control laws are ineffective. They will say gun control laws are unconstitutional. They will tell you that any gun control efforts will inevitably end in forcible confiscation of all guns.
And that attitude renders them as complicit in mass shootings. As gun lovers cannot imagine any solution to the problem, as they defend the use of these weapons, we can reliably point to gun lovers as co-conspirators in gun violence.
Gun lovers dismiss any discussion of solutions. They have factored in the blood of innocent victims as the cost of doing business in a society where weapons of warfare are available to everyone. Great n lovers and their powerful lobbies are therefore complicit murderers until they collectively assume some responsibility for the scourge of gun violence.
I note you have no suggestions either because you are complicit in the ignorance of the gun grabbers.
My solution is the total ban on the sale, manufacture, distribution, importation and possession of all firearms with a semi-automatic firing system and can be fitted with a magazine of greater than ten rounds. Such weapons should be bought back by the federal government at 150% of market value for the first 18 months, 100% for six months after that and 50% for the final six months. After that the sale, distribution importation and possession will be punished by a $150,000 fine and five years in federal prison for each weapon.
So you only want mass shooters and criminals to have these guns.....
There are 13 million AR-15 civilian rifles in private hands....2 have been used....
13,000,000 not used for crime vs. 2 used for crime.
Can you tell which number is bigger?
Cars.....killed over 35,000 people in 2015...
Mass shootings 2016.... total, 6, number killed....71.
can you tell the difference with these numbers...
Guns aren't the problem....the criminal justice system is the problem...fix that, leave us alone.
