"Assault" weapons, for it or against it?

I'm for them as a right under the second amendment.

Good one ;)

Actually anything can be used for assault. Knives, bats, chairs, etc.

You'd have to be some bad assed ninja to take out a room of people with a chair tho'.

I'd love an assault rifle, fortunately we have sane laws in this country, so just because I want one isn't a good enough reason, and therefore there aren't a bunch of unstable nutters with chips on their shoulders hoarding dangerous weapons.

We also haven't had 350 odd mass killings this year, what price freedom eh?

I noticed that every mass shooting happened at a gun free zone.

Well even a cursory check proves this a lie, both Columbine and Virginia tech had armed guards.

And where were they when the shootings happened? Besides, did not both of them had a no gun policy?

They don't.  That's a myth:

http://www.thetrace.org/2015/06/gun-rights-advocates-say-that-places-that-ban-guns-attract-mass-shooters-the-data-says-theyre-wrong/

Maybe I should've made myself clear, I don't think they target gun free zones (though the aurora shooter did) I'm saying that gun free zones allow for mass shootings. For example intersections are the most likely place for crashes.

This does not make sense.  If you wanted to apply your logic to car crashes, you would say that most car crashes happen in car-free zones, not places of high traffic.

Anyway, Canada also has a large number of guns and no mass shootings, so the availability of guns is almost certainly not the most prevalent factor contributing to next to no mass shootings.

Mass shootings typically happen in locations with lots of people.  You can't actually have a mass shooting where there are very few people.


So if we correlate that with gun free zones then we can conclude that gun-allowed zones don't have a lot of people.  Possibly because guns are allowed.


As for assault weapons: sure.  But lethal bullets are taxed 50000%.

If you are going to DebOOonK an expert then you have to at least provide a source with credentials of equal or greater relevance. Even then, it merely shows that some experts disagree with each other.

It doesn’t matter that you are wrong about this gun free zone business, what surely is the point, is the fact that more people have been killed in your country over the last ten years by their own "neighbours" than the imagined hordes of terrorists you are presumably arming yourselves against.

I know you all want to play Rambo or imagine that you’re Jesse James, and you live in a broken society and all, but hasn’t it even sunk in a little bit that giving the unstable, poorly educated and paranoid assault weapons is just a teeny bit, fucking stupid?

It means member moderating, and is frowned upon. The thread you linked is a totally separate discussion. That would be like saying every discussion about video games should be contained to one thread, regardless of the game it's about or the discussion taking place.

My point is that gun free zones are not neccesarally targeted for there gun freeness (I think I made a new word), what I'm saying is that gun free zones allow for more carnage.

In case anyone hasn't noticed, the amount of mass shootings we see today is relatively new compared to how long guns owned by citizens since even before America became a country. So the problem is not the guns otherwise we would've had this amount of mass shootings LONG ago, the problem is something else.
