My hot take - if you own an AR-15 you have a few loose screws

Require a license (after training and testing) and insurance to purchase any gun, much like a car. Require renewal of this license on a yearly basis. The insurance rates for young men would be through the roof. If the gun registered to you is used in the commission of any kind of crime, by ANYONE, you, the owner are liable for allowing it out of your possession.

How does that align with the 2nd amendment, Gun Freaks?

Possession of a ghost gun? Mandatory 10 years.

The 2nd Amendment is really irrelevant to private gun ownership. I’m with you: guns can only be obtained by going through a licensing process, ideally a stricter one than for driving a car.

Also: no high capacity magazines. No assault rifles. None. And no one under 21 should be able to purchase a gun.

Hello. If they were banned, the TX nut job would not have been able to purchase one.

He’s 18, right? He can’t legally buy beer but he can buy an AR-15.

Gun manufacturers push the idea that it’s an “assault rifle” or “combat rifle”.

So it's defined to be an assault weapon because of its name and not any particular set of features. That won't scale.

That won't scale.

. That won't "scale." Bring that awesome corporate speak, douchey Republican, bring it!

“The sport version is an exact duplicate of the military weapon except for one alteration. Because machine guns are illegal for civilian use, the action is semiautomatic rather than fully automatic.“

“Today Colt offers the civilian version of this famous assault rifle”

Yep. And kill a whole classroom of kids and teachers with no one to stop him.

The only people I know who own AR-15s are nut jobs. They will tell you they are perfectly sane, but it's obvious anyone who defends these weapons are this point aren't perfectly sane. Most are, at the very least conspiracy believers.

[Anonymous]

As a civilian and non-American, I think it's wild that you even know the names of different kinds of guns.
I guess I know that there are hand guns and rifles and machine guns, but beyond that, I haven't a clue.

I think you'd have to be nuts to want any kind of gun, though I suppose those living in rural areas might need a rifle.

I can use simpler language. If you are going to ban guns by name, legislatures will be unable to keep up. They can't keep up with the synthetic "illegal" drug market, what makes you think this would be any different?

What's funny about this? I find none of this funny. Especially a few days after nineteen 4th graders got murdered with one.

If the shooter in Texas had a pistol or knife the police wouldn’t have been too scared to go in and could have easily stopped
him. So yes, big difference.

“Assault rifle.” An AR15 lacks fully automatic capability. It cannot, by any definition, be an “assault weapon.” It is no different in operation than numerous other rifles, many if not most of them predating WWII. It just “looks scary.”

Nobody here claimed that AR-15s are fully automatic.

And if you are struggling with the definition of “assault rifle”, here is a good start for you:
https://www.cga.ct.gov/2013/rpt/2013-R-0241.htm

The law defines an “assault weapon” as (1) a selective-fire firearm capable of fully automatic, semiautomatic, or burst fire at the user's option; (2) any of more than 150 named semiautomatic firearms, including semiautomatic centerfire rifles and semiautomatic pistols (see Appendix 1); (3) a semiautomatic firearm that has certain features; and (4) a shotgun with a revolving cylinder.

The definition of an “assault weapon” includes any part or combination of parts designed or intended to convert a firearm into an assault weapon or any combination of parts from which one may be rapidly assembled if possessed or controlled by the same person. It does not include (1) firearms rendered permanently inoperable or (2) unassembled parts or combination of parts possessed by a licensed gun dealer or gunsmith he or she employs for repairing or servicing a lawfully possessed weapon.

An AR-15 is not select fire.

It’s listed under #2.

More detailed definition if you looked at the link:
Assault Weapon Defined

The law, as amended by PA 13-3, defines an “assault weapon” as:

1. any selective-fire firearm capable of fully automatic, semiautomatic, or burst fire at the user's option;

2. any of a list of named semiautomatic firearms, pistols, or centerfire rifles or copies or duplicates with their capability in production on or before April 4, 2013 (see Appendix 1);

3. any IZHMASH Saiga 12 shotguns or copies or duplicates with their capability in production on or before April 4, 2013;

4. a semiautomatic pistol or semiautomatic centerfire rifle that has a fixed magazine that can hold more than 10 rounds;

5. a semiautomatic centerfire rifle shorter than 30 inches;

6. a semiautomatic shotgun that can accept a detachable magazine;

7. a semiautomatic shotgun that has both (a) a folding or telescoping stock and (b) a grip, including a pistol grip, thumbhole stock, or other stock that, when used, would allow a person to grip the weapon, resulting in any finger on the trigger hand and trigger finger being directly below any part of the action of the weapon when firing; and

8. a shotgun with a revolving cylinder.

The definition of an assault weapon includes any semiautomatic centerfire rifle that can accept a detachable magazine (one that can be removed without disassembling the firearm action) and has at least one of the following features:

1. a folding or telescoping stock;

2. a grip, such as a pistol grip, a thumbhole stock, or other stock, the use of which would allow an individual to grip the weapon, resulting in any finger on the trigger hand in addition to the trigger finger being directly below any portion of the action of the weapon when firing;

3. a forward pistol grip;

4. a flash suppressor; or

5. a grenade launcher or flare launcher.

The definition of an assault weapon also includes any semiautomatic pistol that has the ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least one of the following features:

1. the ability to accept a detachable ammunition magazine that attaches at some location outside of the pistol grip;

2. a threaded barrel capable of accepting a flash suppressor, forward pistol grip, or silencer;

3. a shroud attached to, or that partially or completely encircles the barrel and permits the shooter to fire the firearm without being burned, except a slide that encloses the barrel; or

4. a second hand grip.

Lol these are easy to get around the specific are stupid

I am a fifty-three yr. old Female & am terrified of all types of firearms in general.

This specific one actually seems like one of the worst.

It’s scary because it looks terrifying.
