  Three Simple Reasons Why an Assault-Weapons Ban Is Bad Policy

  i keep saying this is a bad place/policy to put all the time, energy and resources if you really do in fact care, or if you are just riding the agenda bandwagon: .

  an assault-weapons ban is irrelevant to suicide deaths.

  the large majority of gun deaths are suicides, and there is no credible argument that an assault-weapons ban will have the slightest effect on suicide.

  The relevance of the Second Amendment was mooted by the the completion of the Westward Movement and the end of the Frontier.

  Really? The idea that the second amendment was to ensure the governments right to arms is insanity, it's not what it means at all, and it didn't have an expiration date on it because the founding fathers knew, that at any moment then and into the future, a government could become tyrannical. You think that has magically gone away?

  This is a forum for those who wish to escape a high control religion and you want to use it as a forum to forward a political agenda? Really?

  The beauty of being out a cult is the ability to exchange ideas, even when you don't agree. You should try it instead of just whining.

  The fact is is that assault rifles like the AR-14 can psychologically influence people to use these guns in massive attacks against the general population in public places.
  

  Ie. Sandy Hook School Massacre, Las Vegas Massacre, Florida's Stoneman Douglas High School shooting
  Don't listen to FreemindFade because he doesn't have mind or a heart

  Fink you are a poster child for how the left no longer discusses issues using thought or evidence, just "saying shut up and you're bad". Keep it up, you are making everyone on this side of the issue look much better.

  Tell me, what evidence do you have that this gun can (magically) make you do its biding? Yea... I am the crazy one...

  imagine having something happen to you in traffic that makes you really mad. OK. Now imagine that you have a pistol on the seat next to you. It changes your perspective.

  Well it does change your perspective, but you sort of have it wrong. See I carry, and most people in the state I live in do as well it seems, yet you don't have gun fights breaking out in the street over traffic incidents. You see with that responsibility to carry comes a lot of weight. You are probably actually less likely to engage in useless road rage because you realize the consequences of escalation. If you have a black belt do you just go around kicking everyone's ass that pisses you off? Or do you exercise more control and discipline because you hold that power??? Think about what you are saying in the context of the real world.

  and then...

  When all the guns have been banned,

  When all the words have been censored,

  When all the history has been erased,

  When all the freedom has been taken,

  only then will you discover why our right to bear arms was so high on the list...

  The worst part about a ban on assault rifles would be the sense in many that we've taken some reasonable action to address the issue and would reduce the likelihood of "common sense" (i.e. keeping guns out of the hands of people that are obviously at risk of using them unethically) action being taken.

  Exactly the point!

  I keep saying this is a bad place/policy to put all the time, energy and resources if you really do in fact care, or if you are just riding the agenda bandwagon:

  1. An assault-weapons ban is irrelevant to suicide deaths. The large majority of gun deaths are suicides, and there is no credible argument that an assault-weapons ban will have the slightest effect on suicide.
  2. An assault-weapons ban is statistically meaningless to homicide deaths. Rifles of all kinds kill fewer people annually than knives or even feet or fists. An assault-weapons ban (really a ban on future sales; proposed laws would not take a single so-called assault weapon off the streets) would be aimed at a firearm that is rarely used to kill.
  3. There’s no evidence that banning assault weapons would prevent mass shootings. This is a key point. The post-shooting debate is often conducted as if folks think that if a mass shooter can’t get an assault weapon, he won’t shoot at all. Blocking access to a new AR-15 is not remotely the same thing as stopping a mass shooting.

  The move to ban AR-15s rests on the notion that the ban will possibly decrease the lethality of any given mass shooting. Aside from the most unusual circumstances (such as the Las Vegas shooting), this is speculative. After all, the history of mass shootings demonstrates that men wielding handguns are capable of inflicting terrible losses, and handguns are generally the weapon of choice for mass killers.

  An assault-weapons ban represents the worst form of gun control. It would burden the self-defense rights of law-abiding Americans without meaningfully addressing the problems it’s purportedly designed to address. We know it wouldn’t impact overall gun death rates. We don’t have evidence it would prevent mass shootings. Given that reality, it looks much less like rational policy-making and much more like legislative emoting — a moral gesture with the primary impact of diminishing American constitutional rights.

  Father of Pulse gunman was FBI informant...

  i am not really sure what to make of all this yet, its just coming out so who knows what is real and fake yet, but if its true it seems the news coming out about seddique mateen & the fbi is yet another bureua failure.

  as an informant for years mateen actually helped to clear his terrorist son of any scrutiny by the fbi, then he killed 49 and wounded dozens of others.

  this kind of crap is actually giving credibility to the wearers of tin foil hats .

  This is something gun control proponents have a hard time addressing....INTENT. You can't legislate away someone's intent.

  Agreed. But Orlando like parkland the full weight of the issue is put on legal firearms purchases even though so many of these situations are outside that realm.
  

  but it wouldn't have prevented him from purchasing the weapons through more unsavory methods such as black markets.

  Yep

  apparently, he (the father) was instrumental in keeping the FBI from indicting his son back in 2013 over threats...

  Opportunity to intervene was lost. If he had been indicted, no legal gun purchase.
