Let's use what it was when they were banned from 1994-2004. And anything that would meet that criteria that has been invented since.

Let's hear what the necessity or even need for allowing assault rifles. Why are they necessary to have? Why are people so against banning them? I don't understand why if it's a terror attack everyone wants to do something about it, but if it's an american doing the act, do nothing.
Here is a fact, so far america has done nothing to improve the situation and it has only become worse. People who want guns offer no solution, but say its not gun control that will solve the problem. At least gun control is an attempt at solving the problem. If you say it's not the problem, then offer a solution.

We could go back to the federal assault rifle ban that was around from 1994-2004. I personally would make all of them illegal whether bought legally before or not.

Are we as American's even aware of how big this problem is? Do we just not care? According to this article if we weren't allowed to talk about gun control because of a mass shooting, we would never talk about it. 1,052 mass shootings in the US in the last 1,066 days. That's 4 or more people shot per instance.

@little_socrates, guns are accessible elsewhere and easily brought in. Where were the law abiding citizens with conceal carry weapons to stop this shooting and protect? No where. Cnn just interviewed a man who said he was carrying a side arm and chose not to use it. Why? Because no fool is going to go up against 2-3 assualt rifles with their little hand gun. I can counter your statement of why didn't gun control laws keep france safe with why have Australia's gun control laws worked? -

I haven't been involved in any Gun debate on here or in person before today. In fact I have never really given much care to the topic. For some reason this yesterday has made me form an opinion on the topic. I was considering getting a concealed carry permit in my state along with my wife, but now as a matter of choice I will not. At least I will live like I believe on the matter.
I have seen multiple facebook posts on the topic of, California bans Assault rifles, how did that work out, Chicago bans guns and they have a huge gun problem. None of those laws matter, when you can get those weapons in the next state over in california's case or outside the city limits in chicago's case. The weapons are still available to anyone somewhere in this country. For the life of me I can't figure out why someone actually thinks owning an Assault rifle is necessary and a right. When would someone ever use it to defend themselves?Next I hear people say you need the guns to fight against the government because we can't trust them. Assault rifles were banned in this country from 1994-2004. If you had already legally purchased one, it was allowed, but no new ones were allowed to be made and sold in this country. I didn't own one then or now, and the government then and now has yet to come and over power me due to my not having any guns.
Banning guns will not stop this. True it will not eliminate these mass shootings altogether, but do we really believe that not having guns easily accessible wouldn't thwart some of these? Using these mass shootings is not the time to discuss this issue? Using fear to promote an agenda? Then when should we talk about it? Twenty children that's 20 were killed in a shooting at Sandy Hook elementary and america's response was FU we love our guns more. America did not care at all to do ANYTHING to change the problem. Why do we make some drugs illegal then, it doesn't stop use altogether. I realize we are just going to debate this for nothing and for the remainder of my life I will have to live with mass killings happening in america. At least people get to keep their beloved guns I guess. -

Aside from the current debate, I can't understand how Americans don't want to do anything about this issue. A guy on a no fly list can still legally buy a gun in this country. Why do we accept this as the norm? If we aren't willing to try anything to stop American citizens from killing each other, why care if terrorists come here to do it? -

As an American, I think that's it's easiest to say, Americans just love their guns more than all the lives of people lost due to these events. That became pretty clear after the sandy hook elementary school shooting. Politically speaking the side of politics that is so adamant about no gun control, is the same pushing to fight foreign terrorism, but isn't so concerned about what Americans do here. -

What were Satan and his demons "doing" up in heaven, before being "cast down" in 1914?
by Dunedain ini was just thinking about how the wts has been spouting off for years that satan and his demons were cast down to the vicinity of the earth in 1914, but really, when you think about it, what was the difference before 1914 or after 1914?.
its not like satan and his demons did not have access to the earth.
satan and his demons always were messing with earth.

If you're ever in a discussion with a Jaydub about this, by their own teaching, all of the suffering and problems on earth are because Satan made a bet and Jehovah said you're on. All of it is just one big bar bet. -

Why are these instances so different than 9/11? They were both carried out under the purpose of religious Jihad. 9/11 had over 2000 more killed, yet there was no end to anything. If you were a JW then you sure we're confident it was the beginning of the great tribulation.
You our have to remember according to JW prophecy predictions, even world war 3 isn't a fulfillment of anything. If the UN isn't given power to shut down religion, it has nothing to do with any bible prophecy. Not that I believe that is going to happen either, but you can't pick and choose what you want or think means the end. It has been clearly defined for decades.
