Guns: how much longer will it take ....

despite me saying it is not a comment either way.

knives have many varied everyday uses and guns don't.

On all those example there are laws concerning them which help regulate them.

Knives are used for chopping up food to make a meal. They are also used for gutting deer, and they are used for murdering. Guns are used for hunting, personal home defense, and sport shooting. They are also used for murdering.

How many instances of someone turning a regular semiautomatic rifle into an automatic assault rifle are you aware of?

Still waiting for you to do a breakdown of that video you provided which allegedly shows me how to quickly change a semiautomatic rifle into an automatic assault rifle.

What do you want? Do you want to ban all guns? Do you want to ban only some guns? What exactly do you want?

I know a bait when I see one. The one you refer was the first one I came across in seconds, didn't even check it out. The were plenty more where that come and more other people can easily find.

I would like to see handguns banned for all but those who have a special need for them

I would like to see weapons that resemble assault rifles be banned

I would leave the other rifles and shotguns alone for hunting and personal protection.

Slide Fire is a company that sells gun stocks that you can use with an AK-47 or an AR-15. These attachments enable accurate “controlled rapid firing,” according to the company’s website, meaning “you can shoot one round, 2 rounds…15 rounds or a full magazine,” as Jeremiah Cottle, the US Air Force vet who invented the product, told Guns America last year.

Gun enthusiasts, who have posted videos on YouTube of the Slide Fire in use, seem to love the product. “It’s just like an M-16!” the shooter in the YouTube video above exclaims. “You can shoot it accurately…or if you want to have fun, you can just spray the **** out of everything.” Survivalists also love the product. “If the gun-grabbers and Brady camp gets hold of this, it’s game over,” wrote a user on a survivalist message board, referring to the Brady Campaign to Stop Gun Violence.

A gun modified with Slide Fire “fires as a machine gun would,” explains David Coulson, a spokesman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, the federal government’s gun regulator—but, he adds, that doesn’t make it a machine gun.

That’s because, despite enabling rapid fire that mimics a fully automatic weapon, Slide Fire doesn’t appear to violate the production ban in the National Firearms Act. The law only regulates weapons that are designed to shoot “automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading.” The way the Slide Fire works, as Cottle explained to Guns America, makes it easier for semi-automatic gun owners to do what they’ve been doing anyway: “bump firing,” which is where you simulate automatic firing by rocking the gun against the trigger finger. (This practice can also lead to highly inaccurate shooting.)

The Slide Fire helps shooters increase their accuracy and number of rounds—without actually firing automatically. “You actively fire every round, and if you stop pushing forward or you take your finger off the trigger the gun stops firing. It just helps you fire the gun in semiautomatic very fast,” Cottle told the magazine.

A letter from the ATF on Slide Fire’s website certifies the part’s legality for exactly that reason. According to the letter, Slide Fire told ATF that the stock “is intended to assist persons whose hands have limited mobility.” So, basically, if you are missing a hand and need to fire a gun like Capone, the Slide Fire is for you.

[Not to mention illegal kits which turns a gun into a machine gun; people determined to do it can do it, they might just get caught. ]

People can also turn fertilizer into bombs.

Can you use the kit for another purpose?

Of course it is, if a regular riffle can be made into an assault weapon, then clearly those parts which make up the parts that make an assault weapon out of a riffle should be discontinued and banned.

So should any type of a weapon, not used in police and/or military, which has large capacity magazine features, which either come with it or can be built into it, should also be banned.

The overwhelming portion of knife activities are non-lethal, such as opening letters or buttering your English muffin.The overwhelming portion of gun activities have to do with performing or at least threatening lethal action. I don't know of anyone who uses a gun to open a letter or butter their English muffin, do you?

Personally? I would like to see handguns banned for all but those who have a special need for them, like they are delivering large amounts of money for their job.

I would like to see weapons that resemble assault rifles be banned, even though they are sold only in semiautomatic mode, not automatic mode. I would leave the other rifles and shotguns, (yes, I know the latest school shooting was by shotgun but he was mimicking actions taken using semiauto assault style weapons), alone for hunting and personal protection.
