The reason Democrats are targeting "assault" rifles

.... and those scary looking steak knives with serrated blades.

We definitely need an assault steak knife ban.

I understand that in some parts of the UK, they are now banning any knives with pointy ends. Steak knives, kitchen knives, and such, are required to have blunt ends to make it harder to stab anyone with them.

There's a very good reason why we Americans kicked the British out of our country nearly two and a half centuries ago.
 
No one is arguing that point except for you. Are you aware that the AR-15 is the father of the M-16? The Original AR was produced so that a scared 18 year old in a firefight could throw more firepower than his enemy. Nothing has changed. It's still the fastest, most powerful and deadly firearm that is portable that is made today. What's worse, there is a Cult AR going on and it's the preferred weapon for mass shootings. We need to break that cult.

I am aware that we got M-16s in late June 1965 and Colt sent a team to Ft. Benning to demonstrate them.
 
The vast majority of firearm crimes involve handguns, not anything like an AR-15. So why are Democrats targeting so called assault rifles?

Simple! Because the vast majority of firearm crimes involve handguns, not anything like an AR-15. It's all about strategy.

After they outlaw AR-15s, they'll wait until the next headline catching crime that involves a handgun, and point to the statistics to insist that now we have to outlaw handguns, too. They'll start talking about the "handgun loophole" and saying that they need to close it. They'll tell everyone that of course we have to outlaw handguns, saying that if the relatively small percentage of crime that involves a long gun was worthy of action, then the remaining 90% certainly warrants action.

Democrats aren't coming for your guns. Until they are.
When it comes to the right to keep and bear arms, Democrats have raised gaslighting to a new artform.
 
This is a lie, it fails as a strawman fallacy.

Ah yes, the good old slippery slope fallacy. Again, this is really simple so pay attention. The drive to ban the assault weapon is not an attempt to stop crime or even the use of guns in crimes. It is merely an attempt to mitigate the damage from mass shootings, and perhaps cut down on their frequency. It is the simple response to a simple cost benefit analysis. Assault weapons provide little, if any benefit, to their ownership. Other guns can be used just as effectively, if not more effectively, than the assault rifle. Well, except for mass shootings, like children at elementary schools. The cost of their legality far exceeds any benefit they provide.

You still don't get it. In the US, the mass murder records all go to one weapon and one weapon alone. Since the security of the schools started, the handguns and normal weapons no longer can go for the record. It takes the AR. While we may not have much control over the lower body counts, we do have control over the higher body counts. There is an old Military saying. You fight the Battles you have a chance to win. We can completely stop the school shootings through common sense actions. I won't cover them since they have been covered to death but we need to do it.

There's a lot of misunderstanding about Nazi gun laws.
