But in the 10 years since the previous ban lapsed, even gun control advocates acknowledge a larger truth: The law that barred the sale of assault weapons from 1994 to 2004 made little difference.

It turns out that big, scary military rifles don’t kill the vast majority of the 11,000 Americans murdered with guns each year. Little handguns do.

Continue reading the main story


In 2012, only 322 people were murdered with any kind of rifle, F.B.I. data shows.

Hopefully a full Republican government can figure out a way to overturn this fear mongering nonsense.

that's nice, so hand guns kill more people. want to ban those? :laff:

gun owners live their lives in fear. it's a surprise they haven't all shot themselves.

No, they don't. People don't walk around with their finger on the trigger waiting for someone to violate.

Hand guns cause far more death than rifles, so yeah, if you're trying to take a stand against gun violence, that is where you'd look to ban weapons. Neither hand guns nor "assault" weapons should be banned.

Disrespect a legendary figure in Afrikan history in the U.S.

You're either a c00n or a cac. Judging by your prepubescent voice and constant caping for Israel, I'll bet on the latter :scusthov:

Run a neg train on this fukkboy if you have any ounce of respect for yourself as a person of Afrikan descent please

I never got all these fantasies people have about defending themselves from authoritarian governments just because they got a couple AR15s or whatever :mjlol: it's not 1925 anymore, the game has changed so much that if an authoritarian government really wanted to fukk with your shyt, they could easily overpower you with your tetchy little assault rifle. What're you going to do with that thing when it's half a dozen tanks coming at your house, or it's an attack helicopter raining down some .50 cals? You might as well be holding your dikk for all the use that assault rifle will be

Now I ain't saying that means guns should be banned. I got no opinion on the gun control debate either way. All I'm saying is, can people stop with the Hollywood scenarios and rhetoric? You're not going to keep a government honest, unless it wants to be honest, just because you can buy assault rifles at Wal Mart

I don't get why people keep using this line of reasoning.

Why are you completely ignoring how Afghan farmers with rifles held off both the Soviet Union and America?

Did the take heavy casualties? Sure. Did Russia/America "win"? Not a chance.

If you have an actual issue with gun violence your focus would be on handguns.

Doesn't matter when the knee jerk reaction is "no" to everything.

You want access to everything because.


That's not good enough when people are being gunned down in the numbers they are.


It's time to stop enabling this mental illness.

Well that's not a very good example.

For starters the terrain in Afghanistan makes it very difficult for any invading force. This is a country that has never been successfully conquered in history, even Alexander couldn't do it, even the British Empire couldn't do it. America is mostly flat. You don't have vast mountain ranges with lots of caves and hidden mountain passes where guerillas can easily hide out, resupply and come back to fight another day; where they can plan ambushes. Afghanistan is also landlocked. Afghanistan is like the perfect place on earth for an insurgency or guerilla warfare style civilian resistance. In America, the flat terrain makes it much easier for a hostile occupying force to deploy all weapons of war.

Also they had a lot more than rifles. They had MANPADs, anti-aircraft guns, 500 Stinger missiles with 2000 rounds of ammunition... they had serious heat, they were armed to the teeth by the CIA.

"According to a 1993 US Air Defense Artillery publication, the Mujahideen gunners used the supplied Stingers to score approximately 269 total aircraft kills in about 340 engagements, a 79-percent kill ratio.[24] Which if accurate, would make it responsible for over half of the 451 Soviet aircraft losses in Afghanistan.[21]"

Owning firearms doesn't equate to mental illness.

Indiscriminate killing = mental illness.

Bolded shows you're fear mongering. All those people are being gunned down by handguns, not AR's. So if you really care about people being gunned down, you'd focus on handguns. 3% of murders are committed by licensed firearms holders. That means 97% should never have gotten weapons in the first place, so your artificial ban of "assault" weapons does absolutely ZERO to address the gun violence issue.
