identify the weapon used in those so called mass shootingsin 2017 5977 pedestrians were hit and killed by a vehicle while 403 people were killed with a rifle.Yep,Didn't he have a car? Aren't cars used in about 30 times the number of homicides than guns? About a thousand times the number of homicides than so called assault rifles? He would have done what they do in France, and just run people over.
More people are killed by lawnmowers every year in the country than people using ARs to kill people. And no one in this country has an right to lawnmower ownership...
People kill people not firearms… Firearms have no control over people
In 2018, 387 people were killed in mass shootings alone (that's 4 or more people killed in a single shooting). Considering there have been more than 40,000 gun deaths in the US in 2018 alone, you can bet that the total number easily exceeds your measly 5977.
All but one with a body count of over 12 belongs to the AR. The only exception was one Battle Trained Marine with a Semi Auto Pistol with multiple mags and a skill set far beyond any person that confronted him. Imagine what he could have done had he been able to pick up an AR in a 30 minute buy at his nearest Gun Shop with nothing more than a Background Check or, worse, no background check at all.
Lets say you are correct. Lets say that EVERY killing involved an "assault" rifle. So, as a society, we ban them. What happens when a guy with a semi auto pistol kills 30 people? Do you favor banning them as well? How about a killer who uses an auto loading shotgun to spread his carnage after you ban pistols? Will you also demand they be banned?
Do you REALLY believe that banning this weapons will bring an end to the killings?
