You have a penchant for name calling, yet you demonstrate a lack of critical thinking and analysis along with a lack of basic historical knowledge on this subject.That is yet another moronic meme that the NRA loved to promote. Since there are a hell of a lot more cars on the roads than weapons in general circulation, you are bound to have more fatal accidents ... and the key word is ACCIDENT, because cars were NOT designed to kill people. The AR-15 is a highly versatile weapon that gives one great accuracy....it does EXACTLY what it was designed to do....KILL with accuracy for one or more targets.More people are killed in car accidents, than assault rifles per year.!Are we going to ban automobiles?! Hand guns kill more people per year than Assault rifles. Why the focus on Assault rifles. The government wants to eliminate the States militia in America.
When the 1994 AWB was in place, you STILL had access to a slew of handguns, rifles, shotguns in numerous styles and variations. The second the GOP let that law sunset, AR-15's flew off the shelves and became the weapon of choice for the majority of mass shooters in the last 2 decades or so. A matter of fact, a matter of history.
Oh, and if "the government" wanted to eliminate the State militia, it would have done so when the National Guard was created. However, militias that are recognized by the various states still exist and function: These states have their own armies not under the control of the Commander In Chief - We Are The Mighty
What I see is a Government, and political attempt to remove a military type weapon from public access. This is a blatant infringement on the 2nd amendment. Mass shooter psychopaths are going to find a weapon to do harm regardless of if a ban exist or not. We need more mental health resources, not weapons bans.!
You see wrong. It is not a infringement on second amendment rights. Military style weapons can be banned. They are designed to kill people. They are light and have a high rate of fire. A mass shooter may find another weapon but it will give more people a chance to escape.
You don't know what you are talking about........if you did, you would know that Military weapons are, in fact, directly protected by the 2nd Amendment as per the Miller Supreme Court ruling...
As to mass public shootings...you again don't have any idea what you are talking about...
There is only one mass public shooting where the rifle had an advantage in the shooting, and that was Las Vegas, where the range was over 200 yards......but he was also firing into a tightly packed crowd of over 22,000 people, at night, from a concealed and fortified position.......with his initial shooting masked by the concert.
And if the crowed wasn't trapped in that concert arena, he wouldn't have been able to kill as many since they would have run away or found cover.....since shooting at moving targets at hundreds of yards is almost impossible for all but expertly trained shooters...
At the range of every other mass public shooting a rifle has no advantage over pistols or shotguns.......
again.....at the range of a mass public shooting the AR-15 is no better than a pump action shotgun....as are 2 handguns......you idiot...
Boulder....used an AR-15 with magazines that held more than 10 bullets.. 10 killed.....
Virginia Tech...2 pistols, one with 10 round magazine..... 32 killed.
Do you see that the AR-15 killed fewer people than the 2 pistols?
Boulder...10 killed with an AR-15 rifle and regular magazines ( holding more than 10 bullets)
Luby's Cafe..... 2 pistols....24 killed.
Do you see that the 2 pistols killed more than the AR-15?
Do you know what the difference was between these attacks?
The cops immediately responded and shot at the attacker in boulder, causing him to stop shooting unarmed victims, and then he shot himself....
Virginia Tech and Luby's Cafe, the police didn't get there, and at Luby's Cafe, the one woman who could have shot and killed the attacker had to leave her gun in her car because of stupid gun free zone laws....
Boulder AR-15 with magazines that hold more than 10 bullets...you know, regular magazines..... 10 killed...
Kerch, Russia, Polytechnic school shooting.... 5 shot, pump action shotgun...which means it had 5 shells which is 5 less than 10........20 killed 70 wounded.
Do you see that the AR-15 killed fewer people than the 5 shot, pump action shotgun?
The difference? The Russian police station was 100 yards away from the school...and it still took them 10 minutes to get to the school...and he managed to kill 20 people with a 5 shot, pump action shotgun....10 more than the Boulder shooter with a rifle and a regular sized magazine...
So again.......in a mass public shooting the number of bullets in the gun magazine don't mean anything......the gun doesn't make the difference....
What makes the difference?
1) if the target is a gun free zone, more people get killed.
2) if someone starts shooting at the attacker, they commit suicide, or surrender, or runaway....
That is what you don't understand and don't care to understand since you simply have a mental issue when it comes to the AR-15 rifle.
That rifle had no special advantage in a mass public shooting.
You don't know what you are talking about. You cannot own bazookas or other military style equipment. There is no reason for anyone to own a AR-15.
There is no reason for anyone to own a AR-15.
And when you say something stupid like this, we know you don't know what you are talking about...you listened to some left wing, anti-gun activist and simply repeated the last thing that idiot said....
Self Defense and Hunting, also competition ....you idiot.
Here's a homework assignment for you: Look up the list of weapons that were on the 1994 AWB list, the look up what weapons were available during it's ten year action. Then tell us just how you couldn't find one weapon for hunting or self defense or for games (competition). Then let us know if you still can maintain your previous declaration.
Already addressed this. You need a new line of smoke, kid.
Fact check: AR-15 style rifles used in 11 mass shootings since 2012
Of 12 shootings listed, including the Sandy Hook, Pulse, Las Vegas, and Boulder shootings, 11 used AR-15 style rifles. But a post is missing context.www.usatoday.com
AR-15 Rifles Were Used in 26 Percent of the Last 80 Mass Shootings in U.S.
AR-15s were used in the Las Vegas shooting, the Parkland, Florida, shooting and Monday's shooting in Boulder, Colorado.www.newsweek.com

Possibly the dumbest mantra from LaPierre's collection. Since the sunset of the 1994 AWB, mass shootings have been on the rise.If more people were armed, there would be fewer mass shooting victims.Small consolation for the next mass shooting victims.The judge cannot be overturned and it was a T judge ..I betAhh, but it 's not about your personal fear (real or perceived), it's about the FACT that a formally banned weapon has been the favorite choice of mass shooters for the past few years. What the judge did was just green light more of the same:I have no fear of AR15s
I do have a fear of hidden pistols

States with looser concealed-carry laws have higher rates of gun homicide. And higher gun-ownership rates are associated with more mass shootings.www.businessinsider.com
Not really, as the article just covers 10 years....you go back further, the numbers increase. You'd know this if you honestly researched the issue instead of this "whack a mole" knee jerk defense.So lets get all the cards on the table; a weapon that has been PROVEN to be the favorite choice of the majority of mass shooters in the last 20 years or so has to stay in circulation because gang bangers can gain easier access to Saturday Night Specials and the lot. And since YOU introduced race into the discussion, it seems you're okay that the majority of victims of the AR-15's used in mass shootings have NOT been black folk.Innocent people are far far more likely to get shot with a cheap handgun in the hands of a street thug in a Black ghetto than from an AR-15.Right....so when the next yahoo or nut case buys his AR-15 and blows away a group of innocent people for whatever absurd or insane reason, please dust off all the old excuses and have them ready, because laPierre is having a bit of financial trouble with the IRS, I here.

Do you understand the difference between a "mass shooting" and a basic homicide?

Gun Control Myths: The lie that AR-15s are the weapon of choice of Mass Public Shooters - Crime Prevention Research Center
Here is an all too typical Twitter post making the claim that AR-15s are the weapon of choice for mass public shooters. But you have to wonder though if all this media coverage that these are the best weapons for mass public shooters actually causes more of these particular guns to be used than...crimeresearch.org
With all the concern about assault weapons since the federal ban sunset in 2004, it is interesting to see what a small share of murders are committed with any type of rifle and how even that share has fallen over time. The percentage of firearm murders with rifles was 4.8% prior to the ban starting in September 1994, 4.9% from 1995 to 2004 when the ban was in effect, and just 3.6% after that (3.9% if you look at just the first ten years after the an ended). The data is from the FBI UCR reports.
The average rate of firearm murders committed with rifles after the assault weapons ban was statistically significantly less than the rate during the ban at the 0.0001 percent level for a two-tailed t-test. There was no statistically significant difference in rates for the period before the ban with the assault weapon ban period.
There are similar drops over time if one looks at the share of total murders committed with rifles.
You rail like a petulant child. Here's something for the adult part of you to ponder: How many weapons were banned in 1994? How many weapons weren't banned in 1994? Are you telling the reading audience that you couldn't defend yourself or shoot targets or fulfill your mental security of a free state with the plethora of weapons NOT on the list?There is no reason for anyone to own a AR-15.
You moron. I already explained to you the reasons to own an AR-15
1. To use for recreational purposes
2. To use for self defense
3. To have for the "necessary for the security of a free state".
Just because pathetic little pussies like you don't have a use for one don't meant the rest of us don't.
If you couldn't defend your home or self with the plethora of weapons that were available during the 1994 ban, then I'd say you're just a bad shot or have some serious psychological issues.4. Firepower superiority.There is no reason for anyone to own a AR-15.

Gun Control Myths: The lie that AR-15s are the weapon of choice of Mass Public Shooters - Crime Prevention Research Center
Here is an all too typical Twitter post making the claim that AR-15s are the weapon of choice for mass public shooters. But you have to wonder though if all this media coverage that these are the best weapons for mass public shooters actually causes more of these particular guns to be used than...
With all the concern about assault weapons since the federal ban sunset in 2004, it is interesting to see what a small share of murders are committed with any type of rifle and how even that share has fallen over time. The percentage of firearm murders with rifles was 4.8% prior to the ban starting in September 1994, 4.9% from 1995 to 2004 when the ban was in effect, and just 3.6% after that (3.9% if you look at just the first ten years after the an ended). The data is from the FBI UCR reports.
The average rate of firearm murders committed with rifles after the assault weapons ban was statistically significantly less than the rate during the ban at the 0.0001 percent level for a two-tailed t-test. There was no statistically significant difference in rates for the period before the ban with the assault weapon ban period.
There are similar drops over time if one looks at the share of total murders committed with rifles.
Accepting "collateral damage" to maintain some absurd mental comfort zone for gun enthusiasts is a high price to pay...too high, if you ask the surviving family members.
If you couldn't defend your home or self with the plethora of weapons that were available during the 1994 ban, then I'd say you're just a bad shot or have some serious psychological issues.4. Firepower superiority.There is no reason for anyone to own a AR-15.
You moron. I already explained to you the reasons to own an AR-15
1. To use for recreational purposes
2. To use for self defense
3. To have for the "necessary for the security of a free state".
Just because pathetic little pussies like you don't have a use for one don't meant the rest of of don't.
you think it through, do you? You babble, throw out a lot stuff and don't stop to analyze what you say. You have yet to justify allowing 26 to 40% of mass shooting deaths by assault rifles that were on the 1994 ban to stay in the open market. Are you saying that those subsequent deaths are acceptable? Collateral damage for your psychological need to have these weapons in the mix?You just proved my point....the previous comparison of car deaths to gun deaths is sheer stupidity, because we are talking about ACCIDENTS as opposed to intentional shootings that have resulted in murders.That is yet another moronic meme that the NRA loved to promote. Since there are a hell of a lot more cars on the roads than weapons in general circulation, you are bound to have more fatal accidents ... and the key word is ACCIDENT, because cars were NOT designed to kill people. The AR-15 is a highly versatile weapon that gives one great accuracy....it does EXACTLY what it was designed to do....KILL with accuracy for one or more targets.More people are killed in car accidents, than assault rifles per year.!Are we going to ban automobiles?! Hand guns kill more people per year than Assault rifles. Why the focus on Assault rifles. The government wants to eliminate the States militia in America.
When the 1994 AWB was in place, you STILL had access to a slew of handguns, rifles, shotguns in numerous styles and variations. The second the GOP let that law sunset, AR-15's flew off the shelves and became the weapon of choice for the majority of mass shooters in the last 2 decades or so. A matter of fact, a matter of history.
Oh, and if "the government" wanted to eliminate the State militia, it would have done so when the National Guard was created. However, militias that are recognized by the various states still exist and function: These states have their own armies not under the control of the Commander In Chief - We Are The Mighty
Moron, there are more guns in the country than cars...
600 million guns in private hands and over 19.4 million Americans can legally carry guns in public for self defense.....
The intentional illegal use of guns......
10,235 gun murders in 2019.
Accidental car deaths?
39,107.......
You don't know what you are talking about.....
Of the 10,235 gun murders over 70-80% of the victims are criminals, and of the rest the majority are friends and family of the criminals....and these shootings take place in democrat party controlled cities because of their actions and policies toward repeat gun offenders....they keep letting them out of jail and prison...
And how on God's green earth do you think that this "collateral damage" approach justify's the increase in the murders with weapons previously banned? Expand your critical analysis beyond your limited vocabulary.
Moron......you prove my point...
Gun murder is the intentional illegal use of a gun. The majority of the victims are not innocent people but criminals engaged in crime, and the friends and family of criminals hit by mistake.
Car Accidents are worse because they are not intentional....and we allow 16 year olds to drive cars, unsupervised........
You idiots compare illegal gun use to accidents, instead of comparing accidents to accidents...you do this for one reason..
600 million guns in private hands, 20 million AR-15 rifles, over 19.4 million Americans can carry their guns legally in public places for self defense....
Accidental gun deaths, in a country of over 320 million people?
2019....
Guns.....486
cars....37,595
Comparing accidents to accidents doesn't help you....so you move the goal posts....and even then....you can't get the number you want.....
And yet:You just proved my point....the previous comparison of car deaths to gun deaths is sheer stupidity, because we are talking about ACCIDENTS as opposed to intentional shootings that have resulted in murders.That is yet another moronic meme that the NRA loved to promote.

Hey...idiot....
Are AR-15 Rifles a Public Safety Threat? Here's What the Data Say | Being Classically Liberal
According to a New York Times analysis, since 2007, at least “173 people have been killed in mass shootings in the United States involving AR-15s.”
That’s 173 over a span of a decade, with an average of 17 homicides per year. To put this in perspective, consider that at this rate it would take almost one-hundred years of mass shootings with AR-15s to produce the same number of homicide victims that knives and sharp objects produce in one year.
--------
If we take the time to look at the raw data provided by the FBI, we find that all rifles, not just “assault-style rifles,” constitute on average 340 homicides per year from 2007 through 2017 (see Figure 1.). When we adjust these numbers to take under-reporting into account, that number rises to an average of 439 per year.
Figure 2 compares rifle homicides to homicides with other non-firearm weapons. Believe it or not, between 2007 and 2017, nearly 1,700 people were murdered with a knife or sharp object per year. That’s almost four times the number of people murdered by an assailant with any sort of rifle.

No one said it was stopped. Please learn to read carefully and comprehensively. Even Koper admitted there was reduction. I'd take less people dying than to the status quo you seem to relish any day. the rest of your regurgitated drivel was previously addressed and debunked. The chronology of the post shows your folly in thinking repetition equals fact. It doesn't. Carry on.Do you understand the difference between a "mass shooting" and a basic homicide? Let me pablum feed you on this; if you can reduce 26 to 40% of the mass shootings (depending on what stats you look at) by reinstating the ban, isn't that a good thing? The legal battle over 'assault weapons' continues. What are they?That is yet another moronic meme that the NRA loved to promote. Since there are a hell of a lot more cars on the roads than weapons in general circulation, you are bound to have more fatal accidents ... and the key word is ACCIDENT, because cars were NOT designed to kill people.

Accepting "collateral damage" to maintain some absurd mental comfort zone for gun enthusiasts is a high price to pay...too high, if you ask the surviving family members.
The ban didn't stop any mass public shootings you idiot......
Do you understand that rifles are no different from any other guns at the range of mass public shootings? This is why shotguns and pistols can kill as many or more people than rifles in mass public shootings........
There is only one mass public shooting where the rifle had an advantage in the shooting, and that was Las Vegas, where the range was over 200 yards......but he was also firing into a tightly packed crowd of over 22,000 people, at night, from a concealed and fortified position.......with his initial shooting masked by the concert.
And if the crowed wasn't trapped in that concert arena, he wouldn't have been able to kill as many since they would have run away or found cover.....since shooting at moving targets at hundreds of yards is almost impossible for all but expertly trained shooters...
At the range of every other mass public shooting a rifle has no advantage over pistols or shotguns.......
again.....at the range of a mass public shooting the AR-15 is no better than a pump action shotgun....as are 2 handguns......you idiot...
Boulder....used an AR-15 with magazines that held more than 10 bullets.. 10 killed.....
Virginia Tech...2 pistols, one with 10 round magazine..... 32 killed.
Do you see that the AR-15 killed fewer people than the 2 pistols?
Boulder...10 killed with an AR-15 rifle and regular magazines ( holding more than 10 bullets)
Luby's Cafe..... 2 pistols....24 killed.
Do you see that the 2 pistols killed more than the AR-15?
Do you know what the difference was between these attacks?
The cops immediately responded and shot at the attacker in boulder, causing him to stop shooting unarmed victims, and then he shot himself....
Virginia Tech and Luby's Cafe, the police didn't get there, and at Luby's Cafe, the one woman who could have shot and killed the attacker had to leave her gun in her car because of stupid gun free zone laws....
Boulder AR-15 with magazines that hold more than 10 bullets...you know, regular magazines..... 10 killed...
Kerch, Russia, Polytechnic school shooting.... 5 shot, pump action shotgun...which means it had 5 shells which is 5 less than 10........20 killed 70 wounded.
Do you see that the AR-15 killed fewer people than the 5 shot, pump action shotgun?
The difference? The Russian police station was 100 yards away from the school...and it still took them 10 minutes to get to the school...and he managed to kill 20 people with a 5 shot, pump action shotgun....10 more than the Boulder shooter with a rifle and a regular sized magazine...
So again.......in a mass public shooting the number of bullets in the gun magazine don't mean anything......the gun doesn't make the difference....
What makes the difference?
1) if the target is a gun free zone, more people get killed.
2) if someone starts shooting at the attacker, they commit suicide, or surrender, or runaway....
That is what you don't understand and don't care to understand since you simply have a mental issue when it comes to the AR-15 rifle.
That rifle had no special advantage in a mass public shooting.
You're boring me, son. Individual court rulings don't change the fact that NO GUN LAW EVER BANNED OWNERSHIP OR CONFISCATED WEAPONS IN GENERAL. The whine and foot stamping concerns specific weapons. None of your quotes changes the FACTS that YOU cannot own a military grade weapon (full auto) or explosives. Also, it does not change the FACT that the when the 1994 ban ended the AR-15 became the weapons of choice for some of the worst mass shootings in the last 30 years.If you couldn't defend your home or self with the plethora of weapons that were available during the 1994 ban, then I'd say you're just a bad shot or have some serious psychological issues.4. Firepower superiority.There is no reason for anyone to own a AR-15.

Idiot.......that list, with idiots like you in charge gets bigger and bigger if we let you have power......
The Right to own and carry a gun is a Right........because you will allow us to have a bolt action .22 pistol is not what a Right allows....you idiot.

The question under Heller is not whether citizens have adequate alternatives available for self-defense.
Rather, Heller asks whether the law bans types of firearms commonly used for a lawful purpose—regardless of whether alternatives exist. 554 U. S., at 627–629. And Heller draws a distinction between such firearms and weapons specially adapted to unlawful uses and not in common use, such as sawed-off shotguns. Id., at 624–625.
The City’s ban is thus highly suspect because it broadly prohibits common semiautomatic firearms used for lawful purposes.
Roughly five million Americans own AR-style semiautomatic rifles. See 784 F. 3d, at 415, n. 3. The overwhelming majority of citizens who own and use such rifles do so for lawful purposes, including self-defense and target shooting. See ibid. Under our precedents, that is all that is needed for citizens to have a right under the Second Amendment to keep such weapons. See McDonald, 561 U. S., at 767–768; Heller, supra, at 628–629.
A more detailed quote from Friedman...
Lastly, the Seventh Circuit considered “whether lawabiding citizens retain adequate means of self-defense,” and reasoned that the City’s ban was permissible because “f criminals can find substitutes for banned assault weapons, then so can law-abiding homeowners.” 784 F. 3d, at 410, 411.
Although the court recognized that “Heller held that the availability of long guns does not save a ban on handgun ownership,” it thought that “Heller did not foreclose the possibility that allowing the use of most long guns plus pistols and revolvers . . . gives householders adequate means of defense.” Id., at 411.
That analysis misreads Heller.
The question under Heller is not whether citizens have adequate alternatives available for self-defense. Rather, Heller asks whether the law bans types of firearms commonly used for a lawful purpose—regardless of whether alternatives exist. 554 U. S., at 627–629.
And Heller draws a distinction between such firearms and weapons specially adapted to unlawful uses and not in common use, such as sawed-off shotguns. Id., at 624–625.

Under our precedents, that is all that is needed for citizens to have a right under the Second Amendment to keep such weapons. See McDonald, 561 U. S., at 767–768; Heller, supra, at 628–629.
The Seventh Circuit ultimately upheld a ban on many common semiautomatic firearms based on speculation about the law’s potential policy benefits. See 784 F. 3d, at 411–412. The court conceded that handguns—not “assault weapons”—“are responsible for the vast majority of gun violence in the United States.” Id., at 409.
Still, the court concluded, the ordinance “may increase the public’s sense of safety,” which alone is “a substantial benefit.” Id., at 412.
Heller, however, forbids subjecting the Second Amendment’s “core protection . . . to a freestanding ‘interestbalancing’ approach.” Heller, supra, at 634. This case illustrates why. If a broad ban on firearms can be upheld based on conjecture that the public might feel safer (while being no safer at all), then the Second Amendment guarantees nothing.
