I don't consider a 6 shooter to be on the same level as an AR-15.There's valid reasons why people want to protect and defend themselves and their loved ones with a sidearm at home.
However, having shitlords roam the streets with military grade hardware is just insanity.
Almost all weapons are military grade. You’re just using buzz words.
Why on earth would you need an assault rifle for? Or any other automatic weapon for that matter?
I've never seen a news story that said: "Heroic citizen mows down government officials with automatic guns in self defense"
There's valid reasons why people want to protect and defend themselves and their loved ones with a sidearm at home.
“Pistols can be considered military grade if they’re used by the military. Who are we to draw the arbitrary line?”
“Oh yeah, The AR-15? That shit is super customizable and works like a fucking workhorse, I’ll tell you :whew “
What is there to debate, which type of gun is most awesome?

the type the use for abortions
I mean that’s a much better method than the current one, the perpetrator shooting herself in the damn head. Good idea. It’s still monstrous but at least it takes out the monster.
Calling 500 homicides negligible is a very American point of view.
Shoot home intruders from 500 yards brehs.
Wtf is wrong with you.
With an AR you can kill the intruder harder.
I mean, what if they’re trying to run away with your TV tho? :smug
Indeed it won’t be a debate because we are ignoring facts.
The majority of Americans oppose assault rifle bans.
https://news.gallup.com/poll/243860/snapshot-majority-oppose-ban-assault-rifles.aspx
The AR-15 is the most popular gun in America with over 5-7 million owned. Yet there’s less than 500 homicides done in its name a year. This is a negligible number given a population of over 300 million people.
More and more Americans are against a ban as we get the facts.
And yes, your definition of “military grade” is not satisfactory, 21337.
Ar-15 is light, has low recoil, doesn’t penetrate walls, nice mag size. All the benefits of a home defense gun. Shotguns are too long for a hallway and shortening the barrel goes against the NFA.
That said, I’m still considering a shotgun for home defense. Idk
To be honest, the only realistic regulation I want is tracking similar to the system for car registration and magazine limits. And if you want to own a handgun, you have to do safety classes and psychological evaluation every few years. I don't expect many potential murderers to actually be caught that way, it just makes it harder for them to go through the trouble. Similar to how Tylenol in blister packs massively reduces the suicide rate.

If you're a MASS murderer, yeah they go through tons of planning for it and plan to either kill yourself or have the police talk about how you aren't a real terrorist.
Which makes me wonder why the white dudes rarely kill themselves.Ar-15 is light, has low recoil, doesn’t penetrate walls, nice mag size. All the benefits of a home defense gun. Shotguns are too long for a hallway and shortening the barrel goes against the NFA.

If it's legitimate home defense, then I think a bean bag round makes the most sense so you don't end up getting potential legal trouble out of it. If you're skeptical of the effectiveness of a non-lethal round, then I would think a .45 would work a lot better than a .223 as far as velocity/penetration and having a free hand to hold a flashlight.

> Thinks women should die if they get abortions.
> Fantasizes about killing someone over a home electronic.
Like I just said... kill in self-defense, fine. Kill in aggression, you belong in prison or the morgue.

Not for nothing, but a thief is attacking you and violating your right to property. They are the aggressor. And here at least, you are permitted to use lethal force to stop the theft of your property. It’s part of castle doctrine.
I don't even want all guns banned, I just want to ban Cindi from having one.

If only you would buy a gun so you could kill yourself you nazel gazing piece of shit.

ban all guns except the m1 garand, which all free citizens should be required to train with on sundays. basically the american longbow.*PING!* :heart
Glad I live in your head rent free, bitch :-*
Colin Kaepernick will be relieved to find out the number of black people killed by police each year is statistical noise and he can go back to playing football.

Are you saying that the FBI puts police killings on annual homicide reports?

I’m saying that if 500 dead people is meaningless than 250 dead people is even more meaningless and 66 unarmed dead people is basicallly like, “whatever, police aren’t even deadly”
It's been a pet theory of mine for a while that the "fake news" epidemic can trace some of its start to media coverage of guns. If you're even remotely knowledgeable about firearms, you can't help but notice that, in general, media coverage on the topic is pretty poor and gets a lot wrong. And once you've noticed that they're getting something you know about wrong, you start to wonder what they're getting wrong about the topics you don't know well enough to spot errors in for yourself...
So why the focus on rifles? Someone please tell me.Less rifle owners. Especially when you exempt hunting rifles.

Mind expounding? I mean I think I understand what you’re arguing but I’d like more.I think less than a quarter of gun owners or something own a rifle or "greater" than a handgun.
But this is double edge, because by trying to ban guns that kill a very small amount of people they get less political support because people can simply google and see thatluckily this isn't too high of a risk
How it happens:lol
Democrats and media: “please ban assault rifles :brazilcry”
Regular citizen: “This is serious. I should research the numbers.”
Also dogs should be armed. Dogs can tell bad from good pretty easily. And a backmounted mini rocket launcher would be enough to take out a small vehicle in case someone takes off with stolen property.smh sucking up to our corrupt mods
I continue to be outraged that toy guns have orange muzzles now.Think about it this way, it's for the child's safety.
The federal government likes to let guns get into criminal hands, especially in foreign countries, so that it can...then...okay, look they'll get to that part eventually.
Democrats say they will pass the most aggressive gun-control legislation in decades when they become the House majority in January, plans they renewed this week in the aftermath of a mass killing in a California bar.
Their efforts will be spurred by an incoming class of pro-gun-control lawmakers who scored big in Tuesday’s midterm elections, although any measure would likely meet stiff resistance in the GOP-controlled Senate.
Democrats ousted at least 15 House Republicans with “A” National Rifle Association ratings, while the candidates elected to replace them all scored an “F” NRA rating.
“This new majority is not going to be afraid of our shadow,” said Mike Thompson, a California Democrat who is chairman of the House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force. “We know that we’ve been elected to do a job, and we’re going to do it.”
The 2018 elections marked the first time gun-control advocates outspent the NRA.Will Speaker Beto be able to get it done?
The gun-rights advocacy group spent about $20 million in the 2018 election cycle—much of it on advertising backing the confirmation of Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, NRA spokeswoman Jennifer Baker said.
Everytown for Gun Safety, the gun-control organization backed by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and a group founded by former Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who was critically wounded in a 2011 shooting, spent a combined $37 million in 2018.

Friends of Roberson told the news station that he planned to become a police officer and was an upstanding man.
I'm going deer hunting for the first time in over 25 years this Saturday. I'll be using a Remington 270 that is dead nuts on from 100 yards. I'm pretty excited. Pennsylvania law says you can't shoot a buck that is a 4 point or less. I like that so I won't feel pressured to shoot at anything that's moving. I'll have to be picky and make sure what I'm shooting at is legal. Don't have a doe tag either.Using your post as justification to talk about something in my life as if it were replying to you:spoiler (click to show/hide)I probably won't see anything. :doge[close]
gun control is classist on top of being racist and many anti-gunners are privileged.

In fact, the common anti-gunner mantra,"you don't need a gun!" is the definition of privilege.

https://medium.com/handwaving-freakoutery/newsweek-s-bogus-gun-rhetoric-misses-an-amazing-find-4be095dbe7a1Thatwas a good read. I still wouldn't like to see Australia's gun laws weakened, but it's nice to read an article about US statistics without the alarmist rhetoric attached.
Ahahahahahaha
