@Blickers,
Quote:Yup. Not just that, but that alone is reason enough.
No it isn't, it's a weak reason with no justification.
Quote:Not just about trigger squeezes. It's also about looks.
Oh, scary looking things must be banned.
Quote:News flash: We can ban something because of how it looks. For instance, in Florida you can suffer criminal penalties, not just civil, for building a residential pool without a fence or approved pool cover.
What does that have to do with looks? Is the site of an uncovered pool that distressing to people?
Quote:Why? The pool is too attractive to some people, they might jump in and drown. Even if the person swimming did not have permission to even be on the property, let alone use the pool, the homeowner is criminally liable if they fail to install protections from people entering his property illegally and using his pool.
You botched this whole thing. Those rules were passed for child safety, a few too many inattentive parents let their children drown and now everyone has to be regulated...
Besides, it is a weak argument to compare guns, which are a Constitutional Right, to a pool which isn't a Constitutional item. I know, that pesky Constitution keeps getting in your way of banning guns.
BTW, it is BS that homeowners can be held liable for people doing things on their property, when they had no right to be on their property. This is the same type of BS that allows people who break into people's homes to sue them for damage or injury...
Quote:Same thing with a semiauto rifle that looks like a military assault rifle.
Are we banning assault pools now as well? I mean do they look scary compared to a normal pool?
Quote:Of course, most of these do come in an automatic version for the military anyway and that capability is removed at the factory, but no matter.
Do you know how uninformed you sound when you say things like this? There is no "removing" anything at the factory. Do you really think that many gun manufactures are selling guns to the military? Really think about that one? Some small business owner who manufactures his own AR-15's is selling anything to the military? The argument doesn't fit the facts or logic.
Quote:Even if a company made only semiauto rifles that physically resembled assault rifles, they can and should be made illegal. This is because of the rising trend in the use of these assault styled semi-automatic in the use of mass shootings which is accelerating year by year.
Do you even understand current govt regulations on weapons manufactures? No you don't, it's the only thing which allows you to say such silly things.
The majority of mass shootings are not done with the AR-15, the majority of mass shootings are done with weapons other than semi-auto rifles. 5 people dead from a shotgun at a newspaper...
Quote:Once again, the difference between you and me is that I want to put as much difficulty as possible in the way of a mentally deranged person getting his hands on the weapon that feeds his fantasy of going out in a big Blaze Of Glory taking as many innocents as possible with him, and you don't.
You don't care about the mental health of the shooters, your aim is clear, ban guns because you don't like them or they look scary.
I'm all for limiting access to mentally deranged people, but disarming the American public won't help those people, it will only turn them into victims just like those kids who are trapped in "gun free zones", we will all become victims of violence thanks to someone who likes to virtue signal.
" wold be insane.
