I call BS on this post. You cannot LEGALLY purchase a fully automatic weapon as an everyday citizen. Stop lying.

They many times kill themselves, I don't see how this fixes anything... That is reaction, not prevention.

You are entirely 100% incorrect. It's covered under NFA https://www.atf.gov/qa-category/nati...rearms-act-nfa

Sure you can. It just takes time and money. It's 100% legal.

Stronger cultural framework. An re-industrialized economy that works for everyone. An end to the disturbing fusion of news and entertainment. An end to the war on men, including restoration of traditional-leaning gender roles and the American family. People need strong families, people who are similar to them. You wrap your mind around a solid family, community, lifestyle, values, work ethic, dignity, and respect for life; you won't see as many aimless young men becoming radicalized and committing mass shootings.

How about we just let the cat out of the bag...

If certain minority elements were to all of a sudden disappear, then basically all statistics show that the violent crime and gun violence rates in the US would be on-par with, or even lower than, nearly all of our European counterparts.

Now inb4 DATS RACISSSS!

Yes you can, as long as the state you're in doesn't have a restriction against it. 10 seconds of research would have told you this.

That's too much work, it's easier to blindly follow your ignorance.

Another classic example why we should limit and restrict both the freedom of speech and the right to vote.

Ignorant people like this should not be allowed to speak or vote.

No-vote list for them, maybe we will even think about setting something up so they have a way to get off...one day.
