More Liberal tears. Banning assualt weapons & magazines doesn't lower homicide

[Brain357]

That Vegas mass shooter sure would have had a lot of trouble firing so many rounds with small
magazines...

And how many times has there been a Vegas mass shooter? Once in 240 years.

I guess we should ban all air travel since one time in American history four planes killed 3,000 of us in one day.

We have mass shootings regularly....

The point of banning assault weapons is to deal with MASS SHOOTINGS.
'
And we had a ten year ban and it did just that

The number killed sure has increased in recent years. Each new worst mass killing is with rifles with high capacity magazines.

And still not nearly as large as the worst mass shootings in Europe where they've had all of this stuff banned for decades

Countries with strong gun control rarely have mass shootings. When was the last mass shooting in the UK?

But they still occur nonetheless. France has had multiple mass shootings over the last few years, including one that killed over 130 people. Norway had a mass shooting in which over 70 people were killed. China had an incident a few years ago at a train station where over 100 people were murders by killers brandishing machetes.

And as far as the UK, while they may not qualify as mass shootings, they've seen an uptick in gun crime and general violence overall in the past couple of years.

Bad people will find a way. You can't safety proof society no matter how hard you try. You only make it easier for people to be victims.

We have multiple shootings daily in Chicago, Baltimore, D.C, St Louis, etc. What's the difference?

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

But you stupid Liberals sure as hell care about taking away our Constitutional rights, even when the studies prove that it doesn't do anything to curtail crime.

That's because stopping crime is not the real objective.

They want to have little resistance to their communist revolution.

As it stands, we will smoke their commie asses.

Taking assault weapons and high capacity magazines does not take away your right to bear arms.

yes it does. Shut the fuck up.

Gun used in Norway was a semi auto rifle with high capacity magazines. They happen rarely in countries with strong gun control.

Our homicide rate is about 4x higher than the UK...

I am pro-2nd Amendment. But this is another thing...we don't care about mass shootings in this country.

What we really don't care about is the reasons why more people are commiting suicide, the root causes and what might be done to address that. Suicides still represent the largest portion of gun deaths, yet when talking about guns it never comes up, only assault weapons and the NRA etc. even though the vast vast majority of Americans who own guns will never commit a gun crime.

Newsflash...most mass shootings AR suicides..and the presence of a gun in the home nd the lethality of that gun has serious ties to suicides.

There's no stomach pump for a bullet to the brain

Actually mass shootings are happening with greater frequency

True we have more shootings of all kinds than countries with strong gun control.

The dead count has gone up dramatically.

Really? Then how come this happened DURING the AW ban?

BUT BUT THEY WERE BANNED!!!!

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

The communist shit twinkle-toed cocksuckers want us defenseless when they start their revolution.

It will never happen as long as we have guns. We may take preemptive measures and execute every last motherfucking commie on earth.

That is a righteous endeavor.

But, we still need to get back our right to machine guns. That will be soon.

You're right. Banning assault weapons, LC magazines, wont effect the rate of death by hand guns, especially in big cities. Restrictions on hand guns, even in cities, will be fought just as hard too.

 

[Brain357]

The team of researchers, led by Michael Siegel, an SPH professor of community health sciences, examined the relationship between 10 different types of state laws and the number of deaths by homicide and suicide in all 50 states. They found that state gun laws requiring universal background checks for all gun sales resulted in homicide rates 15 percent lower than states without such laws. They also found that laws prohibiting the possession of firearms by people who have been convicted of a violent crime were associated with an 18 percent reduction in homicide rates. In contrast, regulating the type of firearms people have access to—such as assault weapon bans and large capacity ammunition magazine bans—and “stand your ground” laws have no effect on the rate of firearm-related homicide. None of the state gun laws studied were found to be related to overall suicide rates.

State Gun Laws That Actually Reduce Gun Deaths

I suspect the stupid Liberals will be crying themselves to sleep. Their precious oppressive gun laws that they want doesn't lower killings.

Study: ‘Assault Weapons’ and Magazine Bans Do Not Lower Homicide Rates

The FACTS ARE CLEAR. To anyone seeking to go after the cause of gun violence or curb gun violence, attacking assault-style looking weapons using magazines allowing you to shoot more than once before reloading (a feature almost universal with every pistol handgun) simply have ignored the data from our own DOJ:

If there is a problem anywhere, the data suggests to start looking at the kids themselves.

 

[candycorn]

It does in every other nation

Study: ‘Assault Weapons’ and Magazine Bans Do Not Lower Homicide Rates

A study on state-level gun control laws in the U.S. shows that bans on “high-capacity” magazines and “assault weapons” do not lower homicide rates.


The study was headed by Boston University School of Public Health’s Michael Siegel and another listed study author was Harvard gun control advocate David Hemenway.


The study, The Impact of State Firearm Laws on Homicide and Suicide Deaths in the USA, 1991–2016: a Panel Study, isolated four states to study ten different types of gun control to see if certain gun controls were successful in reducing homicide and/or suicide rates. Via their research, they discovered that “high-capacity” magazine and “assault weapons” bans do not lower homicide rates.

That's because anybody can go outside the state line and buy it elsewhere. The laws banning weapons have to be enacted and enforced nationwide to have any impact at all.

You still have revolvers, shot guns, bolt action and lever action rifles. Are these not arms?

We don't care about mass shootings in this country.

You mean all 12 of them in 2018? With 93 people killed.....vs. cars that killed over 38,000 people?

In a country of over 320 million people, with over 600 million guns in private hands and over 17.25 million people actually carrying guns for self defense.......12 mass public shootings? Vs. the 1,500 people killed by knives?

And the fact that armed citizens, when they have their guns with them, are 94% effective at stopping mass public shootings? You mean except for that...right?
