As it sits currently the odds of you being the next victim of gun violence is just slightly higher than being hit by an alien spaceship. Gun control is a waste of time and money imo.

Assault weapon has nothing to do with mode of fire, it only has to do with attachments.
Assault rifle has to do with mode of fire, among other things.


Wrong. Assault weapons have select fire.

And apparently reloaded 12 times and stomached the blood and gore of over 50 people.
Seems unlikely to be a lone gunman.

1) No
2) Sure

It's not an ar 15 problem, or even a gun problem. It's an ideology/mental health problem. Ak 47s are banned in France, but that didn't stop radical Islamics from killing 130 individuals with...ak 47s. Take the Orlando massacre for example. This Muslim piece of shit was in the club for THREE...HOURS...before the swat team stormed the place & killed him. Rather he had an semi automatic weapon, a pistol or shotgun, the outcome would have been the same. What would banning ARs do ? Criminals don't obey laws. They would obtain one on the "black market" & if that didn't work they'd bring a couple of .45 caliber handguns with 20 extended magazines. Extremist who are bent on causing death & mayhem will do it one way or another. Rather it's with semi automatic weapons in Orlando, pressure cookers in Boston, or box cutters & planes in NY. Banning guns won't solve anything.

Really? That actually seems like it'd be a lot easier than just shooting one or two people, tbh. It's way more impersonal and I'd imagine would feel much more 'video gamey,' as it were. I mean, if you're enough of a complete shithead to go murdering people in the first place.

ON JUNE 12th Omar Mateen killed 49 people and injured 53 with a 9mm handgun and a semi-automatic gun called the Sig Sauer MCX, an AR-15-style rifle

A lot of people seem to be dumb enough to think that banning certain guns means they will never be used to kill civilians again. As if those will just magically disappear once they are banned.

The fire rate of an AR15 is one trigger pull, one shot, it isn't a machine gun like people make it out to be.

I'm done responding here until you actually post something where I feel you've actually read and are using the proper terms. I have no way of knowing what you're actually fighting for until you do this, or at least go into more detail.
