I will agree that at the moment, there doesn't appear to be any public traction on this, aside from a petition to local legislators to rescind the ban.

If handguns are the problem, why is a semi-auto rifle ban the solution? [View all] Trunk Monkey Aug 2012 OP

OK good point. I think license and regulation of all semi-auto weapons Warren Stupidity Aug 2012 #1

who said they want to sell them? Adrahil Aug 2012 #121

Probably true. Non-law-abiding gun cultists will always push envelope of spirit of law, or outright Hoyt Aug 2012 #122

Semiauto handguns, semiauto rifles - what do they have in common? The resale of both will be banned leveymg Aug 2012 #130

for now gejohnston Aug 2012 #131

Oh, I'm sure there will be some exceptions to the general rule. But banning resale of semiautos is leveymg Aug 2012 #132

You do get that most of the country doesn't agree with you right? Trunk Monkey Aug 2012 #134

Well all I can say to that is 'Molon Labe" NT Trunk Monkey Aug 2012 #133

You're missing the point - nobody will come and take them. You just won't be able to legally resell leveymg Aug 2012 #138

Since resale cannot be monitored and tracked hack89 Aug 2012 #137

So your basic assumption is that law abiding citizens are the root cause of gun violence hack89 Aug 2012 #142

As I said, if you're law-abiding, keep your semiauto. Just don't try to resell it. leveymg Aug 2012 #146

Too bad the federal government can't regulate intrastate sales. hack89 Aug 2012 #150

I reject both of those. GreenStormCloud Aug 2012 #21

One could make the minimum length of the barrel for any semi-auto 20" Kaleva Aug 2012 #6

A ban on 20+ magazines would have had zero effect Trunk Monkey Aug 2012 #9

How about a restriction on barrel length like I suggested? Kaleva Aug 2012 #12

No real way to know Trunk Monkey Aug 2012 #32

The only law that could cover all instances of gun crime would be a complete ban on all guns Kaleva Aug 2012 #174

So, mail a letter EDIT TO /EDIT your elected Representatives, outlining your proposed laws Trunk Monkey Aug 2012 #175

There's already a minimum barrel length requirement in the law Reasonable_Argument Aug 2012 #11

True. I'm suggesting making that minimum to 20" for all semi-automatics Kaleva Aug 2012 #14

Well why do you feel 4 inches makes a big enough difference to warrant a new law? Reasonable_Argument Aug 2012 #15

An extra 4 inches for a semi-auto handgun? Kaleva Aug 2012 #20

Why would you want to increase minimum barrel rDigital Aug 2012 #23

Is there any good reason to oppose such a thing? Kaleva Aug 2012 #24

You need to answer my question. : ) rDigital Aug 2012 #26

How is this a restriction on your inalienable rights? Kaleva Aug 2012 #47

Huh? Jenoch Aug 2012 #53

You forgot the sarcasm tag my friend. : ). nt rDigital Aug 2012 #54

How would it be an infringement on your rights? Kaleva Aug 2012 #59

It's an infringement, taking away options or making them rDigital Aug 2012 #61

But the ability to exercise one's gun rights is already limited by a person's financial status. Kaleva Aug 2012 #64

Most Bad Guys do not have a "weapon of choice". ManiacJoe Aug 2012 #67

Or steal. nt rDigital Aug 2012 #87

I'll have to double check but i think there's one report that said the semi-auto handgun... Kaleva Aug 2012 #127

At that level, there are only two types of handguns: ManiacJoe Aug 2012 #156

Pistols. AtheistCrusader Aug 2012 #125

Yes, there are good reasons. ManiacJoe Aug 2012 #36

If one accepts the arguement that semi-automatics are the weapon of choice for bad guys... Kaleva Aug 2012 #48

The Bad Guys prefer semi-autos for the exact same reasons the Good Guys prefer them. ManiacJoe Aug 2012 #66

Ideally, if I were faced with an intruder in my house I would want to use my AR-15... aikoaiko Aug 2012 #38

I've got a 7" AR pistol... rl6214 Aug 2012 #42

It's my opinion that a handgun would be a better choice. Kaleva Aug 2012 #49

So you're excluding semi-auto handguns? Union Scribe Aug 2012 #78

As I've repeatadly said, what I propose doesn't ban semi-auto handguns. Kaleva Aug 2012 #82

How would it be a pain in the ass for legal gun owners? Kaleva Aug 2012 #25

So then you do want to ban semi automatic handguns? nt Reasonable_Argument Aug 2012 #31

Ok, so in 200 years when all the semi automatic hand guns Trunk Monkey Aug 2012 #33

I would say that prices would jump right off the bat. Kaleva Aug 2012 #43

Given that most crime guns are stolen how is price a factor? NT Trunk Monkey Aug 2012 #57

Look at the examples you provided in an earlier post of yours. Kaleva Aug 2012 #60

So, you want to ban 75% of the handguns on the planet for 5 mass shootings? Trunk Monkey Aug 2012 #63

They won't be banned. Once can still own and buy such. Kaleva Aug 2012 #65

Revolvers are semi-auto too. Union Scribe Aug 2012 #79

Some seem to think that there is a difference. AnotherMcIntosh Aug 2012 #85

You are kidding, right? ManiacJoe Aug 2012 #104

what's the definition of semi-auto then? Union Scribe Aug 2012 #106

You have the correct definition of semi-auto. ManiacJoe Aug 2012 #108

Maybe law abiding citizens whose guns are being stolen would buy fewer of them... Kaleva Aug 2012 #136

The supreme court has already ruled that such cost shennanigans amount to a de-facto ban. AtheistCrusader Aug 2012 #126

The Hughes Amendment to the FOPA still stands. Kaleva Aug 2012 #128

For now. AtheistCrusader Aug 2012 #129

But the ban on any gun that can fire more then 7 rounds before reloading remains Kaleva Aug 2012 #151

All that requires is a legal challenge. AtheistCrusader Aug 2012 #153

It's been challenged and the Appeals Court has upheld it. Kaleva Aug 2012 #154

He's essentially calling for a ban on all semi automatic hand guns NT Trunk Monkey Aug 2012 #30

Why a 20" barrel? rl6214 Aug 2012 #41

That's why select fire weapons are so expensive. Kaleva Aug 2012 #44

Your second paragraph is what I was getting at. Kaleva Aug 2012 #62

The AWB had very little effect on gun prices. GreenStormCloud Aug 2012 #95

The pre-ban AR-15, along with others, did go up in price Kaleva Aug 2012 #97
