Why get nitpicky? They’re essentially the same.
Of course it can be done, like any semi auto pistol/rifle/shotgun.....

But please, tell us how easy it is, do inform us of what differences between the rifles are that make the AR so much more easy to convert? We shall all wait...

I think one of the biggest failure of the current gun law is that red flags were not enough to stop gun buy. So make it harder for SOME folks to purchase any type of firearms would be common sense. I don't think I can really say no to that.

This said, what is the purpose of limitations on magazine capacity?

Consider the Columbine High School shooters. This mass killing took place during the 1994 federal ban and they went into that school without a single “high capacity magazine.” They just took turns reloading the large number of “low capacity magazines” they had on hand.
So, because the Columbine shooters didn't need high-capacity magazines to kill a bunch of people, therefore there's no purpose? Is that what you're getting at? I'd counter that by saying think of how more efficiently they could have killed had they had high-capacity magazines.

I think the purpose here is self-evident don't you?

I have not heard your counter argument. What is your counter argument?

Your second paragraph, no.

Why don't they work? Criminals don't obey laws.
Therefore, we should have NO LAWS. Got it everyone?

To counter what? Your argument: People with guns with low-magazine capacities killed a lot of people....And? You have to affirmatively say something to require a counterargument. What you said doesn't have any bearing on what someone may do with a high-magazine capacity. That's like me saying "hey guys, I know a guy with a knife who stabbed 20 people...so what's the purpose of banning swords?"

That is not my argument at all.

He's an adult.

This doesn't mean that I don't believe he is entitled to his opinion. This certainly does not mean that I think he should be called all the nasty names or receiving death threats. But Let's not pretend he is some kind of kid. lol Kid, he is not.

Plus, his "voice" + help from the politicians CAN become law. So yes, he can be criticized, disagreed with. If he cannot take it, don't be an activist.
Plus lots of $$$$$$$$$ from other activists and the big one, once you put yourself out in the public space and become a public figure like he has then you have to be able to play by those rules. You basically become "fair game".

In my opinion he's talking and acting like he's already a member of Antifaaa.

Would the term "manchurian candidate" look less pointless oratory?

Do you deny that guns, drugs, humans, etc., are smuggled across the U.S.'s Southern border?

Everyone already knows they are.
