It's just not going to do what people want it to do.

I have never said I want no gun control ever.

I support universal background checks a la Toobin-Manchin. If not that then opening up NICS to private sellers.
Training requirements for public carry.
I can even live with NFA-style registry for long guns with detachable mags but without the tax.

I remember a time when they were outlawed at any age. Lot less mass shootings Emile Jan 2022 #44

When was that? Kaleva Jan 2022 #46

1994 - 2004 Emile Jan 2022 #47

That "ban" really only affected the cosmetic appearance madville Jan 2022 #51

I have a semi automatic 12 gauge and a 12 gauge pump. I have a semi automatic 22 and a lever action Emile Jan 2022 #53

AWB had nothing to do with assault rifles Kaleva Jan 2022 #54

So your theory is that removing madville Jan 2022 #55

and lifting the ban gave us Sandy Hook! Emile Jan 2022 #57

That AR-15 would have been compliant with the 1994 AWB madville Jan 2022 #59

We can go back and forth forever. As I pointed out I do know Emile Jan 2022 #60

The AWB only banned the sale of newly manufactured assault weapons. Those made earlier than 1994 Dial H For Hero Jan 2022 #67

So Emile Jan 2022 #68

So, you said that assault weapons were outlawed during the AWB. This was not the case. Dial H For Hero Jan 2022 #69

Less mass shootings is nothing, okay . . Emile Jan 2022 #70

Correlation is not causation. I challenge you to explain how making bayonet lugs less common Dial H For Hero Jan 2022 #72

I am not a masterful mathematician, all I know is mass shootings Emile Jan 2022 #73

Understanding that correlation is not causation does not require math. Dial H For Hero Jan 2022 #74

And all I have simply said here and it is a fact mass shootings Emile Jan 2022 #75

I respectfully repeat the question: Dial H For Hero Jan 2022 #76

Mass shootings declined during the ban. Emile Jan 2022 #77

I repeat the question (again): Dial H For Hero Jan 2022 #78

Mass shootings declined during the ban. Emile Jan 2022 #79

At this point all I can conclude is: Dial H For Hero Jan 2022 #80

Like I said earlier, you are looking for an argument Emile Jan 2022 #81
