I'm still trying to figure out sur's, ar's have 10x the lethality comment. If you hit a 5 point bull elk in the heart with a bow going 290 fps and put a 5.56 round in his thigh going 3000 fps, does that mean the 5.56 round killed him 10x faster?

The middle ground is to ban assault rifles? That isn't the middle ground - do you not get that you and your ilk are part of the problem. Pray harder? maybe you should pray harder, it wouldn't hurt (I'll let you freak out a bit over the idea).

Middle ground will never be achieved when one side determines what the middle ground is. To your point, maybe there will be an assault rifle ban. Which assault rifles do you think will be banned? Do you have a particular one in mind? A certain manufacturer you would like to target? Which definition of assault rifle would we use? How would you handle everyone that legally owns whatever rifle is being deemed an "assault rifle". What's the plan to get them off of the streets?

You actually buy these bs distractions that the NRA tells to use?

We already had a law that answers these questions. Read the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994.

You can easily prevent deaths by no longer allowing their sale. Most mass shooters buy their assault rifles not long before they use them. You know that. Everyone knows that. Most people who have them but haven’t used them yet to murder children won’t. Most people who haven’t already had them stolen won’t. Most people who haven’t sold them to drug cartels won’t when it becomes illegal to transfer them. When you can’t buy them legally, production drops off a cliff, and it becomes very hard to obtain them. Too hard, in fact, for just about anyone who suffers from mental illness. Buy back is also fine but not particularly effective.

The problem with gun nuts like you is that rational thought doesn’t work with you because you’re just being disingenuous about your intentions. The real reason you want you assault rifles boils down to the fact that you don’t care how many children need to die if it gets in the way of your delusional fantasy that it’s the only thing keeping Joe Biden from sending white men to the gas chamber. It’s not possible to have a rational conversation with nuts like you.

Wait I thought you said the buyback in Australia was the reason theirs was so effective? Which is it, you cant even keep track of what dishonest propaganda you're spewing.

Disingenuous with our intentions? Pot meet kettle. So me pointing out that the fbi saying that more children die by handguns in their own homes is a distraction by the nra? If this was all about stopping the deaths like you say, you would be trumpeting that from times square, karen, except you're trying to rage about an "assault weapon" that will never see an actual battlefield because it's not suitable for that purpose. Stop your bullshit.

inbev is enormous. If people avoid Budweiser, it may not matter. You could pick up a Corona, Busch, Shock Top, Stella, or a Beck’s. To InBev, it’s all the same. They don’t care which of their beers you buy.

The marketing managers at Budweiser probably do care. They spent years building up a reputation as America’s Beer, then watched someone flush it down the toilet so they could fire a shot in the culture wars.

America's beer? That's a pretty hard slam on America.

I looked at the list of top-selling beers in America. The ones I actually buy are #12 Heineken, #22 Dos Equis -- my personal favorite Sierra Nevada Pale Ale (or Torpedo if I am only having one) is so far down the list that I'm not sure what the number is.

Here are the inconvenient facts.

The US has give or take 50k gun deaths every year.

About half are suicide
Almost all the rest are criminal activity. Much/most of that is related gang members shooting other gang members.
ARs? Long guns of all types (shotguns, ar, bolt action, etc) are the cause of about 300 deaths a year. I bet the avid anti AR group isnt aware of that number. A tiny number compared to 50k. Anyone want to divide 300/50000 to get an idea of what percentage of guns deaths are related to long guns of any type? Nope...because that would take away a major political talking point.

The fixation on ARs is somewhat amazing. But people dont actually look at stats (masks anyone?). They just listen to the press/politicians hype an issue. Long guns of any type are not the issue. The number of deaths attributed to them in any one year is remarkably constant. They are not the issue.

The issue is and has always been gangs/criminals shooting each other, etc. They use handguns. But handguns are never going to be banned so the anti gunners go after what is perceived to be a problem and that is a scary looking gun. We dont have assault rifles either. That is a misnomer. What you and I and others are buying is NOT what the military uses. They use actual machine guns. The ARs we have just LOOK like those guns. Big difference.

What about child deaths? We see that stat used a lot. Almost all of those child/teen deaths are members of gangs. The press and they way they report it would have most believe it is some kid playing playstation at home or at 711 who got gunned down. In reality it is almost always some gang member.

Watching / reading the press one comes away with the impression it is the AR that is the issue. It isnt. Long guns of any type are about 300 deaths out of a total of 50k each year. Watching / reading the press one comes away with the impression that innocent kids are getting hammered all over the place. Reality is most of those "kids" are gang members.

The press and the politicians dont want to be called to task for failing to crack down on crime in the big cities. They dont want to be taken to task that in those cities they have failed the kids by allowing the public schools to fail to educate kids (who turn to gangs). Politicians in these cities increasingly do not want to even prosecute crimes. So you see catch and release, no bail, no criminal penalty for shoplifting under 1k. And so you see stores getting looted and the politicians dont care. The stupid defund the police movement made crime worse in the places where crime was already bad and where you have the highest gang activity.

But yeah focus on the AR that with or without it wont change a thing statisically about gun deaths. We would go from 50,000 to 49,850 at best (FBI stats do not break down in the long gun death section shotgun, vs bolt, vs semi auto).

So keep marching, keep trying to ban a gun that wont make any difference in gun death stats in the least. It is kind of like lets pretend we can stop the virus if we Mask UP!!.

 

[Desert Hound]

Think about all the stupid laws trying to ban ARs.

Think about recent CA attempts.

It is basically politicians saying LOOK A SQUIRREL.

The amount of time/effort/money spent to ban a type of rifle that isnt the issue is amazing.

People dont look at stats. The react based on emotion. The press feeds into that emotion. Look how scary that gun type is, etc.

And yet nationwide out of 50k deaths each year...shotguns, bolt action rifles, and semi auto rifles comprise about 300 total deaths out of 50k. And a large percentage of those 300 deaths are suicide.

Banning them will not make any difference in the least. Despite what the press says there is not some sudden increase in long guns used in school shootings. The amount of deaths in any one year attributed to long guns has remained rather consistent year after year, decade after decade.

Criminals dont use long guns because they hare hard to conceal.

But despite the numbers above...think about how the press/politicians play up the gun angle. It is those dams ARs causing the problem. Ban them now and gun deaths will plummet is they way it is portrayed. Oh look another squirrel.

Gang members, anyone else who happens be near a gang member. Plenty of those deaths are just wrong place, wrong time.

Neither the gang members nor the handguns have a great reputation for accuracy, or a huge concern for bystanders.

So we should crack down on crime and criminals right? They are the source of the majority of the non suicide related deaths.

And yet most gangs and gang related activity resides in cities run by D politicians. The same politicians who refuse to prosecute, are defunding police and have reduced the severity of penalties for a number of crimes. All of which has the "unintended" consequence of creating more crime rather than less.

It’s a question of what works.

I have a ton of respect for the guys who give up every Friday and Saturday night to run open basketball gyms or salsa dances.

That doesn’t mean I think we should cut the police to fund it. But community building is important if you want the police to have less work to do.

Until politicians get serious about crime, it will get worse. It is a good and great thing some people volunteer to help. But if politicians refuse to go after criminals and weaken laws...things will get worse.

Seeing more and more of this in certain cities. Cities that refuse to crack down on crime.

Many of these cities also have high homicide rates due to gun violence.

My buddy just left a place he thought he would retire in outside of SF because it's dangerous and the schools are not good for his grand kids. He went to college in NoCal and was sold out for the area and tried to work with folks. He was middle of the road b4 he moved up there and then got brainwashed and so woke he was hard to talk with over the years. He finally woke up and now EVERYONE in his NoCal clan have left for Texas. Crazy times......
