It is for people who want to show off to friends or take it to the shooting range. It has no practical use in everyday life. None.


The fact is though, people who want to be able to own things like an AR-15, are willing to overlook school shootings to be able to continue to buy/own them. If you own one, you are in that group. If you don't, you are still in that group, since you think people should be able to ride down the street in a panzer with Uzi's and Ak's.


The greater point, is that most normal people, would happily give up their assault rifles if it meant no more school shootings. Most normal people would be perfectly fine with more stringent background checks, and safety courses. If you aren't, then you are fine with children being killed by the weapons you want to keep. And don't try the whole, "Well he could have used a pistol or a hunting rifle!" nonsense either. We both know that they aren't capable of the same things.
Let’s see, ignorance about firearms, combined with “No True Scotsman” fallacies. What a post!

Why sure, that's a legitimate question.

We fought a revolutionary war over that.
Our founding fathers were all about the people in our country. Here we are in 2018 and it's all about me,me, me now

Getting rid of semi auto rifles robs you of your self protection?


Wow . I was under the impression they still manufactured shotguns and handguns.

That's the way children are. Its why my and me and mine is always a part of their response.
Quit treating and talking to your children, like they are children incapable of doing anything. They will mature to have more common sense at 8, to some 30 year olds.

The founders intentions revolved around the rights of the individual. Someone saying me, me, me, doesn't stomp on my rights. Someone who wants to take my means of self protection is.

Obviously not. She was suggesting that some people have the capacity to think as mature adults and realize that sometimes their wants and desires are harmful to society in general.


Others don't have this level of maturity, and think only about what they want without worrying how it affects others. In these cases , the rights of children to remain alive vs the wants of the adolescent gun cult to have their toys.
