You’ll still have others that will serve you just as well. But assault rifles like AR-15s are, IMO, used too often in violent crimes and I believe that banning them would lead to a reduction in those crimes. Statistics from the previous ban of such weapons, incomplete as it was, suggest that this is the case. I’d like to try.
My purpose is not to punish you or any other lawful gun owner. If I could find a way to allow you to possess such weapons and prevent the bad guys from owning them I would do so. But I don’t know how to achieve that so I am in support of restricting your freedoms in this instance in the name of public safety. I don’t think it’s a significant infringement upon your freedoms.
they're RARELY used in violent crimes - c'mon man, I've shown you this so many times ....
are you going to keep believing what's not true and if so, why?
on the second part - we have many restrictions on guns, gun owners, gun buying etc - maybe at this point we can finally say hey, the problem isn't the 80 million gun owners today who did nothing wrong, but the 1 person who did ?
