Its a joke Mike, relax.

You were going off on all sorts of things, bad parenting, civil war, and we all need a gun to solve all the upcoming problems, I saw this cartoon and thought of your avatar and about bad dog parenting

It had an effect on mass shootings.

the clinton era assault weapons ban had zero effect on any forms of gun violence
because the ban was entirely meaningless - this has been well studied
manufacturers simply removed the cosmetic features described in the ban and continued selling the same guns less items like flash suppressors, bayonet lugs, and folding stocks; folding stocks remained available through the aftermarket as did high capacity magazines

there was a decrease in violent crime rates during the clinton administration but that decrease is attributable to better economic conditions

No no no Paul. Correlation must always equal causation. Hence why the decline in violence is actually due to the decline of pastel paint colours in houses during those years.

All I know is that the differences between this semi-auto rifle, Browning BAR (comes stock with a 10-round detachable box magazine)





And these semi-auto rifles (Smith & Wesson M+P 15 and Daniel Defense DDM4 V7)





Are largely cosmetic. And the Browning is probably built to a higher standard, and is cheaper (the Browning lists at c. $1300-$1800, depending on variant and dress; the Daniel Defense rifle lists at $2100)

But the Browning BAR has not been used, as far as I know in a mass shooting. And the AR variants tend to be the preferred weapon for mass shootings.

Those latter two are the weapon models used by the killer in Uvalde, Texas.

You can buy an AR for less than $400

So it's useless ? Just give up and stack the innocent bodies like cordwood ?

How much does an AR go for on the black market in countries that have banned them ?

you know that i'm for increased gun regulation
lets do something that is actually meaning-full though

Re: Biden going after semi-automatics?

Or you can start holding shi77y parents responsible for their spawn . . . which is against freedoms . . . . so yea, nothing of significance changes. And I can promise, if the Dems try to ban semis, they will not only fail, but will lose at the voting booth. Which will have a negative effect on education because Republicans like their citizens dumb as a box of rocks, and education and a good economy, which the Republicans also suck at, are our only hope to combating all of this nonsense.

Like this father of the year ?

That shooting earlier this week at a gay bar in Colorado Springs, where a guy donned body armor, took his AR and a pistol, and killed 5 while wounding others?

Yeah. CBS News found the perp's father. When informed that his son had gone to a gay bar and opened fire, he was hugely concerned that his son could maybe be gay, and was relieved to hear that wasn't true. Because (as he tells the interviewer ... as the camera rolls) he's a Mormon, and a Conservative Republican voter. "And "we don't do gay."

It seems that the father does do methamphetamine though, and seems to be on it during the interview. He'd been on (Season 6, episode 8) of the reality TV show "Intervention" in an attempt to deal with it. And the father's also got a history as a porn movie actor. Twitter is kind enough to give the names of two of the films he's done, but I'd rather not be banned here, so ...

Go to the twitter address above, and on the thread you'll find a few clips showing portions of the interview. There's more there that's odious, like the father commenting how he'd raised his son to get violent early in a conflict, to be most effective. Etc.

Makes me feel physically ill.

I have an idea. Take the panhandle of Florida, wall it off, Like Escape from NY. Put all the sh17-heads like this guy, all the MAGAs, all the Nazis, and molesters, and Trump, make him king. ...

You do realize that Florida will be under water in 30 years, right?

That idea has a certain appeal!

Re: Biden going after semi-automatics?

In your estimation; what's possible in this polarized political climate?

Establish federal reserves where the law doesn't apply. Several gun owning participants are inserted into the reserve with whatever weaponry they fancy and the game continues till only one is left alive. Repeat as often as necessary until only one gun owning person (other than those with a legitimate purpose) is left alive. That person can carry what they like where they like, including USSC hearings and congress.
All other weaponry, except that with a strict legitimate purpose, is outlawed. Anyone found with illegal weapons will be required to participate in the program.

Such a program will likely result in less deaths by gunshot than at present.

Re: Biden going after semi-automatics?

dang, the pan handle is the best part of florida. . .

I have an idea. Take the panhandle of Florida, wall it off, Like Escape from NY. Put all the sh17-heads like this guy, all the MAGAs, all the Nazis, and molesters, and Trump, make him king. Make sure they have the means to make food, support themselves within the . . . ehem, community. They can leave whenever they want out of one door. The door leads to a school, educate them, teach them a trade, clean up the addicts, tame the looser mentality . . . and if they're civil enough, let them out. The rest can stew there for their entire lives. Live out their "libertarian" fantasies . . . die of the sh17s.
