Gun control

The Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act or Federal Assault Weapons Ban (AWB) was a subsection of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, a United States federal law which included a prohibition on the manufacture for civilian use of certain semi-automatic firearms that were defined as assault weapons as well as certain ammunition magazines that were defined as "large capacity".

The 10-year ban was passed by the US Congress on September 13, 1994, following a close 52–48 vote in the US Senate, and was signed into law by US President Bill Clinton on the same day. The ban applied only to weapons manufactured after the date of the ban's enactment. It expired on September 13, 2004, in accordance with its sunset provision.

No other developed country has the rate of mass murder by guns as the USA and the minimal controls we have over the sale and distribution of guns results in this degree of unparalleled bloodshed.

why we think if there is gun control there will be no terrorisim attacks like the wallmart and el paso ?

There is a difference between reasonable gun control and elimination of guns completely.

But a crazy man can get a gun from these streets .

The problem i thinks is the people or their mindstate . I can have an arsenal of weapons and don t even shoot anything that have a.life.

we think nothing of the sort.
gun control will reduce the number of senseless murders, not eliminate them entirely...

We don't think that. But consider what the country would be like now had this law not expired after ten years:

So yeah, people who already had assault-styled weapons and large capacity magazines wouldn't have been affected. But think of all of those weapons and magazines which wouldn't have been sold in the ensuing fifteen years -- how many of the guns used by mass murderers in the last decade-and-a-half were bought on impulse in that time period?

Yes, someone who is determined to kill as many people as possible, for whatever sick purpose, would try to find a way to accomplish this gruesome task -- but do we have to make it easy for them by providing them with guns designed after weapons of war?

High velocity center-fired cartridges loaded into relatively short-barreled easily-carried guns

equipped with pistol grips which can be fired from the hip at crowds?

There's a reason these special psychopaths choose these particular types of weapons to do the job. In 1966 the Texas Tower Sniper, using a hunting rifle, killed eleven people and injured thirty-one over the course of ninety-six minutes. The Dayton shooter killed nine and injured twenty-seven in less than ten seconds with an assault-styled weapon he had ordered online.

There's no good reason for civilians, especially crazy ones, to have access to these weapons.

No other developed country has the rate of mass murder by guns as the USA and the minimal controls we have over the sale and distribution of guns results in this degree of unparalleled bloodshed.

Many leftists pursue measures that will do nothing to save any lives
