Yeah i see what you mean for sure.

Absolutely agree on that.

Why do you think people need assault weapons?
I'm all for protecting yourself and your property if you go through stringent mental health checks etc, but why do you NEED an AR15?
Register, enter into a system, complete a 4473 etc etc etc. Whatever you call it. Either way, you know what I meant.
Say what?We don't NEED. But the Second Amendment isn't about "need" - shall NOT be infringed
Forget about me. What about all the other folks out there that have died due to firearms? What about them?

I dont have an issue with bans on particular assualt weapons (semi auto shotguns, automatic rifles, expslosive rounds) But thats where it needs to stop, alot of these politicians pushing for change have never had to deal with criminals attempting to mug you or breaking into your house or car at 3 in the morning.
The gun serves as deterrent in this aspect also.
You mean this bad boy, das spas 12So a semi automatic shotgun is an assault weapon now?

Yes, and furthermore they are even more effective for mowing down people especially given the right ammunition. Im pro gun, but after shooting some of the nicer semi auto shotguns I quickly realized their killing capabilities against large crowds with minimal aiming
I see your point there, but I raise you the point that most shooters are weak willy noodle armed incelsSome people can pull the plug, add extra shells and use a pump near as quickly. Shotguns in general are a crowd nightmare so im not sure it being semi auto really makes a huge difference.

Anything that takes a detachable magazine, and possess other things (rails, etc) Is generally considered an assualt weapon.So it looks aggressive. That's it?
I don't see why I can't have an AA gun on my suburban property.

Semi automatic shotguns are able to put out powerful area effect blasts in quick succession, with minimal aiming and can sustain this for quite awhile given the magazine size. It is an ideal weapon for crowds hypothetically speaking
I don't really share your hardcore anti-handgun stance because they're useful for self-defense whether in the home or as a concealed carry. Yes, most gun murders are committed with them. But most mass shootings, which are a big threat to innocent Americans from all walks of life, are committed with semi-automatic rifles with extended clips and sometimes bump stocks. But I don't necessarily support a blanket ban on "assault rifles" either.Where iyo opinion should the line be drawn on gun ownership? I think everyone agrees that civilians should not be allowed to own nukes. I think most reasonable people would conclude that civilians should not own armed drones. The current debates are around assault weapons. Where do you draw the line on weapon ownership? I'm personally fine with assault weapons.
I think owning a handgun should be harder than owning a shotgun, rifle or an assault weapon. The vast majority of gun violence is committed with handguns because they are much easier to conceal than larger weapons for people seeking to commit crimes. This statistical point gets ignored by Democrats whenever they talk about gun regulation. Biden's solution to gun violence was to propose an assault rifle ban which would probably accomplish nothing. What if any gun regulation would you be in favor of?
So a test, license and insurance for a constitutional right? Would you support the same thing for the first amendment? Before a person can publicly speak or get on any kind of social media and type away they must take a test, be licensed by the government and must I have insurance in case their words causing any damage?As a gun owner, I feel it should be similar to buying and operating a car. You should have to be tested and become licensed. You should have to be properly insured. You should have to under periodic renewal processes to renew your license. If you want to own a more advance or powerful firearm, they should have higher tiers, which require more stringent testing and annual medical screening(similar to a CDL)
It's way too easy to buy a gun in this day and age, and far too many idiots have them. Sadly the 2nd amendment gun nut crowd will refuse to ever consider any meaningful changes.
Banning certain guns based on how they look isn't common sense.I don't really share your hardcore anti-handgun stance because they're useful for self-defense whether in the home or as a concealed carry.

I think we need common-sense solutions that are somewhere in between the people who effectively want to ban guns and the NRA which is simply a lobby for gun manufacturers. To be honest, I don't know what that entails exactly, but it should be based on the 2nd Amendment and what American voters want rather than special interests on either side.
Then that also applies to voting as well. Can't have it both ways.As a gun owner, I feel it should be similar to buying and operating a car. You should have to be tested and become licensed.

I agree. Were you just commenting in general, or was there something in my previous post that made you think I supported banning guns based on how they look?Banning certain guns based on how they look isn't common sense.
