What is with this false dilemma? It's not an either or thing. How about blame both the assholes doing the shooting and the ease of access they have to the weapons they use?
Why is it ridiculous? A ban on semiautos has been extremely successful elsewhere.

There are regulations on knives and cars.
... but they, and nothing else, are not sacredly protected by perversion of the 2nd Amendment.

Of course not, but millions of people every day fire weapons and have never even aimed a gun at anyone. You're not railing against firing guns, but owning them.
Therein lies the difference. Stop comparing apples to oranges.
This is so ing re ed. Tylenol is a drug with an actual purpose. Guns were invented specifically because we needed an easier way to kill stuff. These things are not in any way comparable.
Same with cars, same with alcohol, same with any other object that someone has died from in some random way. Just stop with that nonsense argument.
Bad people do bad things. Buy a gun to protect yourself and your loved ones. Don't let them take away your guns in exchange for promises of protection. It's mental masturbation for pacifists and collectivists.
No, you need to give up your right to self defense because you cannot stop a nuclear attack.
My whole point is that cars and guns are apples and oranges. Thanks for agreeing. And the discussion ITT is related to the operation of them.

The argument is valid, there are hundreds of thousands of AR owners that fire their guns on private land and gun ranges every day without harming anyone. Just like there are hundreds of thousands of kids under 14 driving ranch trucks or racing in sanctioned events that don't harm anyone. In scenario that Pavlov proposed, where guns had the exact same requirements as vehicles, a licensed gun owner would only be able to use a registered/ led gun on public land for self defense purposes. If they defended themselves with an unregistered gun, or were not licensed to carry the gun, they would receive a class c misdemeanor.
In 2014 the number of gun deaths per year finally equaled the number of vehicle deaths. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.4b06f6458857
Interestingly, that article points out that about two-thirds of all gun deaths are suicides. So, of the 30K gun deaths per year, 20K are suicides...that really deflates the statistics a bit.
ok. let me know when you actually want to have a discussion
Are ranch trucks and race cars disproportionately used in mass murders involving vehicles?
The school security thing is so re ed. Teachers are underpaid but we have money for armed guards to patrol thousands of schools full time. Heck this school had one and he didnt do

My wife is an educator, so I agree with the under paid issue. My point is that most schools, older ones at least, have multiple entry points. They need to be designed more like an airport, where people are funneled into a few secure access points.
There were cops at Parkland.
How many cops do they need?
There was a stand down order, and the 2 officers that tried to go in anyways were suspended.
This is not a static number. Do you understand what that means?How many cops do they need?
No, there were resource officers at the school.
So they need 1 more cop?This is not a static number. Do you understand what that means?
2?
Hey kids! Skipping school is OK as long as you are spreading Socialist propaganda
Shaq gonna feel real bad when Ingraham tells him to shut up and dribble
Well that's odd. In the OP it plainly states "ban assault weapons" not "control the use of assault weapons"
I suppose you're cooking your own narrative though.
He was told that for years, never could dribble worth a and never ever shut up.
Armed guards = cops
The issue isn't education. Take that up in another thread.
No one here would have run into that school with an active shooter going ape . They always wait for backup, and if they don't they get killed. It would have been 18 deaths. No way he takes that kid down with his handgun. Cops often cannot hit even with many magazines, under duress. The shooter wasn't under duress, he knew no one was armed.
Ok, let me know when you want to discuss something honestly instead of the too easily spotted narrative shift, passive aggressive/verbal roll eyes and stonewalling.
Example: How many guns have been brought up on charges of homicide?
