All the guns flooding the streets are not just benign tools in the hands of the law abiding. Would you deny there is a problem with gun violence in America? And, again, all shooters are law abiding until they aren't.Could I walk around downtown wearing a suit made of dynamite and still be law abiding? So long as I don't light the fuse, it's my right to do so, right?Every shooter is law abiding, until they aren't.There is no reason any law abiding person cannot have a semiautomatic rifle. Semiautomatic rifles have been around since the 1860's
There is no reason a law abiding citizen cannot have any capacity magazine he wants
No law abiding person is responsible for the criminal acts of another person.
What if I told you that all drivers had to pay to install a breathalyzer ignition lockout on every car they own and they have to blow into it every 15 minutes or the car will shut down
After all that would eliminate drunk driving wouldn't it?
Or maybe all men need to be chemically castrated because some men are rapists
We do not hold law abiding people responsible for the criminal acts of others.
So what?
Do we just treat everyone like a criminal because after all no one is a criminal until they are, right?
So why don't we have you chemically castrated because every man is not a rapist until he is?
What about we just revoke your drivers licence because you're not a drunk driver until you are?
Need I go on?
If anyone breaks the law THEN you restrict and /or revoke his rights.
There are dangers involved with deadly weapons. If we can ban the Ford Pinto due to safety concerns, why not weapons designed for war, not sport?
I don't know the particular laws on the possession of TNT.
There are dangers involved with knives too. In fact knives are used to kill more people than rifles of all kinds including the semiautos you want to ban.
No gun in the hands of a law abiding person is a threat to anyone. SO there is no need to tell any law abiding person he can't own certain firearms
Violence yes. Gun violence is no different than any other violence.
There is a distinct difference between people who legally own firearms and those who illegally procure them
If you want to stop violence then target your efforts on violent people. Get them off the streets and keep them off the streets.
All people are not criminals until they are so why don't we just throw everyone in jail preemptively?
You cannot restrict people for what they might do.
You might rape a little girl so maybe we should castrate you.
