Mass Shooting At Denver Batman Movie Premiere

It's not assault weapons that is the problem, or the manufacturing of these weapons would be stopped. It is people. Normal people can snap, and allowing a fully automatic assault rifle in their hands is just not worth the risk.

For civilian purposes, a semi auto or "non-assault" rifle is more than enough for recreational activity and "protection."

Well I'll be glad to point out the lethality if you want.
Give an idiot a M16A1, and another a M4A3. Both are equally crazy and amateur with their guns and they are in a crowded place. Both are given a set amount of time, but with endless ammo.
Spray and pray will get more innocent civilians killed or injured in the given amount of time.

You don't seem to know what you are talking about. I don't know how I managed to miss it in your previous post, but I'll have to go back and answer again.

Assault weapons legislation deals ONLY with semi-autos. Not a single full auto is covered by assault weapons legislation.

Semi autos aren't selective fire.

You must be archaic, what you're talking about ended in 2004. You are arguing over the federal ban that was expired in 2004.

You are really ignorant.

M16A1 has a full auto feature,

You are not worth my time.

I'm gonna stop feeding you, troll. Starve and die!

Let me get this through your thick skull.

Common illogical American thinking: If everyone had a gun, the world would be a better place.
Remember the wild old western days, more problems were created than problems were solved.

For arguments sake, let's say all innocent citizens had a gun, let's even say Military grade weapons. That doesn't mean crime will stop. Criminals will evolve and find a way around it, like Kevlar vests, shock and awe tactics, bigger guns, etc.

Because the liberals violated the Constitution in 1934
and this has not yet been rectified.

Incidentally, the Supreme Court will be ruling assault weapon bans unconstitutional within the next 10 years, and they will use the very arguments I posted here when they do it.

A flash suppressor has no purpose at all?

Not exactly. It does something. It's just that that something doesn't make the gun more lethal.

And much more importantly, the government has no legitimate reason to ban flash suppressors.

Of course you would argue that the Supreme Court isn't really supreme.

If we follow your logic then nothing is constitutional
simply because there is no body that makes that decision.

Care to bet on that?

Or are you arguing that the NRA will be so weakened that a ban will be put in place?

as no ban or law will stop the illegal sell of firearms

Do you think laws will completely stop the illegal trade of firearms?
That's a naive idea.
