If you say so.

The research indicates gun control works. Only thing stopping it is a contingent of people in the US to stubborn to accept change.

Some of the most gun controlled cites have the largest amount of killing by guns.

Any gun is a weapon of war.

So, what are they?

Clueless beta male teenage cucks engaged in a futile effort or such a major threat to the gun industry that you need to stockpile guns and ammo?

If your thread title was true, than the reaction of your fellow gun enthusiasts simple speaks to the lack of logical thought among that particular group.
Nope, prices haven't gone crazy yet. There are still plenty of deals out there. I think this week i might attempt to assemble a complete upper, never have. Assembled plenty of lowers though.

You and I both know why AR-15 is defined as weapon of war by ... well... some people.

Come on now.

Exactly the same reason why illegal immigrants are now undocumented. lol

Which mass shooting used a "weapon of war" ?

But I don't believe single out semi-auto rifles is the answer. I think if one has passed all the tests (whatever tests those might be), then he/she should be able to obtain the type of weapons of his/her dreams.
I'm in that camp. I think training, education and certification is a great way to help, not just for access but for the sport as well.

I hunt- I have to take a really good Hunter Education course to get a lisc.

I have a CCW- I had to get fingerprinted, have an extensive background check and re-do this every 4 years.

Personally I don't think every swinging d*ck should have access to a firearm. With rights come responsibilities, and there are a lot of current protesters that feel that way.
