How to ban guns without firing a single shot!

Largest category of homicide is accomplished with handguns.
Assault weapons are the tool of choice for rampage murder.

So it's just a whim.
 
Of course you would think that! Because you are unable to compare us with DEVELOPED nations. Nations that can police citizens at our level. You have to compare us with a nation in which large portions of the territory are controlled, not by the government, but by drug lords.

Tell me you've never been to East St Louis without telling me you've never been to East St Louis.

But that's all you CAN do to rebut my arguments, right? So.... stick with that! It makes us BOTH happy that you do...
 
Because people DIE! Especially heartbreaking when they're children who die in their classroom. They die easily because some kid can hops on their bike to the neighborhood gun store and come out with assault weapons and ammunition fit for an army. This WILL happen again no matter what we do. But if we start NOW we can make it more difficult.... and probably save some lives.

And, as your (and everybody else's) LACK of arguments shows, there is NO reason why we shouldn't. And there is NO reason why it wouldn't work.

If your believe that people dying is no concern of yours, then ... that's your answer....

Quote one word from someone's post and use it as a springboard for an emotional and dishonest rant?

I can't really call that outburst an argument, but it's rejected on the basis of being an emotional, dishonest rant.
 
So focus on the reason why they die and not the means.
Why not focus on the means?

We're mostly talking about suicides that's a mental health issue.
Suicides are primarily a mental health issue. And I addressed that with my proposals about red flag laws and mental health. But the PRIMARY focus of this thread is assault weapons. I don't know how many people commit suicide with an assault weapon. But I DO know that they kill innocent people with them. So THAT is the main focus of my proposals.

So why does the school just let people waltz in there and blow them away?
"Let"? Do you think they go to the Office and request a Hall Pass?

No! But the government DOES let them walk into a gun store and buy an assault weapon and loads of ammunition. Some of which can basically obliterate the body of a child with aa single bullet. THAT is the "why" question!

So fortify schools
AND don't give the shooters easy access to assault weapons. If the shooter has an assault weapon, nothing short of turning every school in the country into Fort Knox would stop them. And, more importantly, WHY would we want to do that when making it as difficult as humanly possible to obtain guns would be more effective?

Answer: WHY? Not a rhetorical queston....


There's no reason we shouldn't become an authoritarian dictatorship?
So every developed nation in the world that HAS implemented these (and much much more) measures is an authoritarian dictatorship?

What nonsense!


I can't do anything about it people like you stop me. What I would do to stop school shootings and this would stop them regardless of where they happen have people in the school armed.
So you can stroll into the neighborhood guns shop and come out with an assault rifle and 50-round magazines?

Well.... that's up to you. But for anybody who cares more about human life than for their "freedom" to shoot people with assault weapons, my proposals are there.... uncontested.

And most suicides with firearms are men and boys. Ignoring their problems to print them out authoritarianism is hateful.

Who's being assaulted?
I don't know how many people commit suicide with an assault weapon.
Anybody who commits assault with say a break for a tire iron and then uses it to the kill themselves.
But I DO know that they kill innocent people with them. So THAT is the main focus of my proposals.
Your proposals have been rejected. Let it go. Think of something better.
"Let"? Do you think they go to the Office and ask for a Hall Pass?
Yes let. They even propped the door open for that uvalde shooter. And also that idiot was stopped with a gun.
No! But the government DOES let them walk into a gun store and buy an assault weapon and loads of ammunition. THAT is the "why" question!
Again who's being assaulted?
AND don't give the shooters easy access to assault weapons.
The only way they'd have access to an assault weapon is if they assaulted someone with it and it could be a brick or a tire iron.
If the shooter has an assault weapon,
They've already committed assault and you should probably stop them. What better to stop them with than a gun.
nothing short of turning every school in the country into Fort Knox would stop them.
So gold is more valuable than children. Don't plead to me about your emotions when you think for dogs is more important than all of our schools.
And, more importantly, WHY would we want to do that when making it as difficult as humanly poss ible to obtain guns would be more effective?
You can't.
Answer: WHY? Not a rhetorical queston....
You can't.
So every developed nation in the world that HAS implemented these (and much much more) measures is an authoritarian dictatorship?
Much closer than us yes.
What nonsense!
Well I've heard people facing criminal charges in these other places for telling jokes or saying things or making posts on the internet that weren't threatening. So you can call it nonsense, it just means you're not trustworthy.
So you can stroll into the neighborhood guns shop and come out with an assault rifle and 50-round magazines?
You can't assault people.
Well.... that's up to you. But for anybody who cares more about human life than for their "freedom" to shoot people with assault weapons, my proposals are there.... uncontested.
Then why aren't they law?
 
Why not focus on the means?

Because they're of such great benefit and are so seldom used in a negative manner.

This is easy stuff. Ask yourself why private motor vehicles aren't banned. Or even why they aren't strictly regulated. Because they're so useful, that's why.

Well more practically when I told him is because you can't. Guns are here we're not going anywhere. Even after Australia did their confiscation that they lied about and said was a buyback most people still retained their firearms so they're still there.

He's going to pretend that the regulated because of traffic code. It's always the dishonest straw people grasp at

You won’t be permitted to cherry pick. Sorry.

Traffic codes barely dent the fatality and injuries.

Now, if vehicles were electro-mechanically prevented from going faster than 25 mph, and NASCAR safety equipment required for all occupants, fatalities could be virtually eliminated and there would be less injuries with many of those less severe.

But it would be inconvenient, and car nuts don't care how many children die for their convenience.

Yeah you don’t get it.
If you want to see if a high blood pressure pill works to lower blood pressure , you don’t compare too people who are in great shape, eat right etc .
What you compare is a person who has high high blood pressure , is overweight , smokes etc
And someone with good blood pressure who is healthy .

If the blood pressure pill is effective then the blood pressure should decrease to the level of the healthy person .

If gun control worked really well, it would overcome the other issues causing crime , just like a high blood pressure pill lowers blood pressure despite the patients obesity. The
 
You look around you and you see people who own guns but don't see how some of those "guns" (addressed in the OP) can be used (because they HAVE been used) to kill people... children in their classroom.
Well that’s the point . I see tons of people with guns . Yet we haven’t had a mass shooting in my community.
So lots of people owning and using firearms to hunt to plink to compete . And nothing happens.
I am VERY authoritarian in respect to saving lives when there is NO reason not to save them.
And your lack of response to my proposals indicates that 1
Gun banners gotta lie.
I responded to your proposals . I proved
they would not work because they fail to reflect reality and you could not articulate how you could get those proposals to work.
You gun banners just can’t help lying. !

I think if it was just a free-for-all and there was no standard by which to drive you probably wouldn't have transportation and if we did it would probably be absolute bloodbath
Now, if vehicles were electro-mechanically prevented from going faster than 25 mph, and NASCAR safety equipment required for all occupants, fatalities could be virtually eliminated and there would be less injuries with many of those less severe.

Good point
 
Illinois law states modified rifles and shotguns must be at least 26" in OAL length.
Rifle barrels 16 inches and Shotgun 18"

Oh that needs to be banned look at that military hand strap and the tactical handle.
 
Because you can't do anything about it
Of course you can. Read the OP!

And most suicides with firearms are men and boys. Ignoring their problems to print them out authoritarianism is hateful.
Suicide is a problem and only briefly addressed on the OP. But this thread is about assault weapons. Feel free to open a thread if you want to focus on suicides.

Again who's being assaulted?
Not sure what difference that makes. But what really gets you is when it's children. Especially when they're in their classrooms. This happens way to often in this country.


The only way they'd have access to an assault weapon is if they assaulted someone with it and it could be a brick or a tire iron.
Can you think of anything you can do with an assault weapon that you can't do with a tire iron? If not then, if we were to follow your logic, we can safely ban assault weapons and nothing will be lost.


Then why aren't they law?
Because the gun industry has politicians of both parties in their deep pockets... And even Supreme Court Justices....

Now.... the question is if you can quote ONE of my proposals and rebut it. I'm not wasting my time with anything else.... If you can, then do it. If you can't, then that proves that there IS no rebuttal. Everything else you write is only intended to distract from the fact that you can't address any of my proposals. Which is the same as endorsing them!
 
If you want to see if a high blood pressure pill works to lower blood pressure , you don’t compare too people who are in great shape, eat right etc .
Your argument is to compare the richest nation in the world to an underdeveloped nation. That argument rebuts itself.

And, in any case, it doesn't address ANY of my proposals. So that's TWO reasons why this would be a waste of time. If you want to brag about how great everything is because it's better than.... Mexico... or any underdeveloped nation, open a thread. THIS one is about my proposals.
 
Well that’s the point . I see tons of people with guns . Yet we haven’t had a mass shooting in my community.
My proposals are not for your community to implement. Not even for your state. They would need to be at a federal level in order for them to work.

Looks like your arguments can be summarized as: 1- "I found this underdeveloped nation that we are better than" and 2- "We haven't had a mass shooting in my community yet". So, apparently, you read my proposals, thought long and hard, spent hours researching to find a rebuttal.... and THAT was all you could come up with...

I'll take it!!!

What good would a ban do. So we go from having 500 million firearms most of which are legally owned to 500 million firearms most of which are illegally owned?

It's like banning breathing or jumping on Thursday what's the point other than to be a dictator?

yes. that is where we are going: Dictatorship.

read up on Dark Maga Technocracy as the Oligarch's solution for everything.

.
 
The only way to ban guns is end the Constitution and the concept of rights as a whole.

yes coming soon under the Technocracy.


I do believe that to be the ultimate goal of the democrat party.

almost. it is the goal of Both Parties, because both parties work for the same boss.

conservatives think the Red criminals will protect them, nope not even close. watch how soon they all Cave at a convenient Political time coming soon.

The End

No it doesn’t.
It’s like comparing a fellow that has obesity , smokes and a fatty diet and takes blood pressure pills .
To a person that eats right, jogs daily and never smokes to see the effectiveness of the blood pressure pills.
If the blood pressure is similar then the pill is effective in lowering blood pressure.

If gun control worked Mexico would be as peaceful or more so than the us.
And, in any case, it doesn't address ANY of my proposals.
Those have already been addressed and rebutted.
So that's TWO reasons why this would be a waste of time. If you want to brag about how great everything is because it's better than.... Mexico... or any underdeveloped nation, open a thread. THIS one is about my proposals.
Your proposals have already been shown to not work.
Cripes you can’t even explain HOWthey would work.
You even said that polymer high capacity magazines that are already in the market would “ rust”. .
 
Cripes you can’t even explain HOWthey would work.
They would work by making it harder for mass shooters to get their hands on. And, as the OP explains, they won't eliminate ALL gun violence... not even all gun violence with assault weapons... but it will surely make them more difficult than just hopping by the neighborhood gun store, and walking out with an assault weapon and high capacity magazines.. And since some people have pointed out that anything you can do with an assault weapon, you can do just as well with a knife, a rope or... even "a brick or a tire iron", then we have nothing to lose. Just use those.


You even said that polymer high capacity magazines that are already in the market would “ rust”. .
I don't know what NONSENSE you're trying to make up now to try to hide your lack of arguments. I have NEVER used the word "polymer" in any of my posts. But the desperation you display by making up crap like this is further evidence that you can't rebut my proposals.
