Not a good answer! A Rifle that can hold a gazillion high Powered bullets and fire them all VERY VERY quickly.
Here:
Quote:
Handguns were used in 19 times as many murders than rifles were in 2016, according to the Uniform Crime Reporting data. Handguns killed nine times as many persons as rifles, shotguns, and other guns did combined. The type of firearm used was unknown for about 28 percent of all firearm murders.
^^^^This. However, they won't stop at rifles. They want to ban handguns, and shotguns too. They want the law abiding populace disarmed. It will never happen in the United States.
Is there anyone in jail here that wasn`t a member of the "law abiding populace"? Life would be so easy if we were branded at birth as a law abider or criminal but it doesn`t work that way. We let everyone who wants a gun to have a gun one way or another and then we sit back and watch the mayhem and shell out our hard earned money to lock them up.
There are 5 million people living in New Zealand, about the same as the State of Michigan. So this is really like 'Michigan State bans assault rifles'.
Unless ANYONE here can sensibly justify as to why they need or want an assault rifle OTHER than that you think it is your right, you need to crawl back into your hole and shut the hell up!
like I said.........
Those of you supporting this ban, your logic is flawed and your stance can be ripped apart in a honest logical debate, are you up to the challenge?

New Zealand is an island. Michigan has borders states that have lax gun laws and open borders. It will be a lot harder to bring guns into NZ than it would to bring into open bordered Michigan. Yes.
The weapons were apparently okay to own until a few days ago. Does it really only take one event to ban something?
Because its not common to have 50 people die in less than an hour to gun violence in New Zealand. Shows how skewed our thinking is in America, we have mass shootings so often that we forget its not normal.
Again I am a 2nd amendment practicing believer but I can acknowledge the issue at hand, mass killings with a weapon of choice for perpetrators. Also New Zealand banning assault weapons is not surprising to me, most countries in that region of the world have gun bans of some sort including Australia their close trade partner.
Its clear to me that these weapons are keeping gun stores open, manufactures in business, and gun ranges open. Many gun stores have "assault" style weapons mounted all over the walls and glass cases. Their expensive, rarely much improved over their standard variants, custom parts suppliers love these weapons, and people collect them by the 10's. But the general public could care less and the NRA burnt through any good will it had with most Americans. I think a ban is coming and it will hurt the industry.

can I use words like gazillion? Phrases like "high powered bullets?" Even though no one knows wth that is
But then, we see assault rifle, and no one knows that is a real machine gun with select fire. We see assault weapon even though the only assault weapons are actual full auto.
