The courts have already ruled that the Constitution does not allow for that. They have thrown out handgun bans already.
Which if one gun was eliminated, someone who wanted to kill would have no problem using?
It doesn't have to be a semi auto. A revolver will also provide protection. In any case, don't be so certain the Constitution and courts will not change. Our history is full of examples where the courts nuance their way or even outright overturn decisions they made in the past. Conservatives hope for such an event with Roe v. Wade. In the end, the Constitution can be amended. Given enough outrage, what seems improbable or even impossible now could well happen in the future. It would be wise for responsible gun owners to join in demanding reasonable restrictions on acquiring and possession of some classes of firearms.
Another great thread that is going no where.
Some love guns, some hate one gun AR15.
223/556 bullets are made of so many different variables, powder, bullet design, etc etc. Yes, they are designed to kill.
AR15s are used for competition shooting, hunting, SD, HD, and can carry .17HMR to .50 Beauwolf. Its like a mustang or chevy camaron, very versatile, low recoil, and easy to shoot.
Point taken.
But, the 2A is a right.
Your feelings are of no concern to me and my right to have a gun, rifle, musket, shotgun, etc etc. Feelings, thats all you got. No fact, no actual solution, just emotional feelings of banning one very specific type gun..
What we should be focusing on in how to better serve/protect our children within the school for emergencies. Really. These threads go no where, and they are full of ignorance..

The Constitution can be amended. The courts can rule in other ways BUT being a Constitutional issue will make it harder. Neither is going to happen in the near future so is the argument that we should just argue endlessly until maybe some time in the future things change?
What we can do and do now. We can do comprehensive health coverage for all. No, it's not going to address every issue but it will address some. A complete gun ban which is not possible wouldn't address all issues either. We are never going to be able to get rid of guns in this country unless you want the government breaking down doors and forcibly removing them and even then they won't.
If the "left" would argue, "Fine, you say it's not the gun it's the person and most of these people have mental health issues and since we can address that, why are we not"?
This is a perfect opportunity. Many who weren't for universal coverage would be OK with it when the alternative is further attempts to ban guns. What are politicians going to say? Yes, the problem is people with mental health issues but we are going to do absolutely nothing about that even though we can"?
This is a perfect platform for the left. For some reason that is not being done. We prefer divisiveness and poking people in the eyes.

Bunch of power hungry selfish morons.
Sooooo, the Left gets Universal Healthcare, paid for by taxes by everybody.. and the Right gets the 2a.
Now, mentally unstable persons, can be treated again without funding problems.
