An amazing case for reducing gun ownership in America

The new $6 billion plant, which has been under construction since 2017, is an “ethane cracker” plant. It will “crack” ethane, a natural gas liquid found in some natural gas deposits, and turn it into plastic pellets to be used in various plastic products. The plant will produce over 1 million tons of plastic. Environmentalists and community groups complain that the operation will harm the region’s air quality and will increase carbon emissions and plastic pollution.
 
There have been at least 267 incidents involving assault-style rifles in 2016, including reported weapons thefts, crimes in which the guns were brandished, arrests for illegal possession and other legal interventions in which they weren’t fired.

Those deaths account for about 2 percent of the 6,153 gun deaths and less than 1 percent of the 12,560 gun injuries the Gun Violence Archive has counted so far this year. This tally consists largely of homicides and assaults, but also includes suicides that were part of a murder-suicide. It also counts accidental deaths, the majority of which involve handguns, not rifles.

Are you defending the right to kill and maim as many people as possible in a short period of time?

Do you realize what you are arguing? That despite the near-daily slaughter by assault weapons in public places causing multiple casualties at once, it's not worth discussing assault weapons bans because they're such a small piece of America's gun deaths? So bow many gun deaths do we have overall? How many are from "fighting tyranny" as one or more of you deluded egomaniac pussies believe?
I hope Trump runs on his Second Amendment positions.

Apparently, he only Izzy-read the article, which has this near the end --

Maybe would-be buyers of assault-style rifles should have to first provide endorsements from people willing to vouch for their intentions. Maybe “modern sporting” riflemen and riflewomen should be required undergo periodic certification to make sure they’re fit to be members of the “well-regulated militia” referenced in the Second Amendment. At the very least, maybe we shouldn’t just let people buy these weapons on a whim, with no waiting period whatsoever.​

Why? Are you trying to make a prediction?

Yes I understand and you obviously don't.
Look asswipe the statistics don't jive with your bullshit...the only reason you're concerned is the so called slaughter might, MIGHT affect you.
The daily slaughter in the inner city will never affect you, so you shrug your shoulders and ignore the mass numbers of death yearly in the inner city.
You and most of the media focus on 1% to 2% of killings that are attributed to "assault rifles" and ignore the vast majority of murder by handgun.
Do you realize what you are arguing? Deluded egomaniac indeed.
You calling anyone a pussy is laughable....

Even though you are jive, the word you’re looking for is jibe.
