No ban will ever work. AR-15s can be built at home and will be smuggled in from elsewhere. Oh, and you really think the people who decide to own them anyway will go "to jail"? Double the number of prisons in the US and you still won't have enough room. Not to mention the costs associated with actually trying to enforce this. |
![]() Nice try. Just give it up already. |
Well that was a well-reasoned response from someone who has clearly thought through the issue. Hint: this is why no solution will ever happen. |
That's funny. Who is going to go and try to collect them? You can't put the lotion back in the tube. Sorry. The best they can do is make ammunition too expensive to purchase, or hard to obtain. They've actually done that with the .22 ammo. The .22 is a starter rifle. |
Yes, the plates exist. However, the departments do not want to pay for them. My DH purchased his own. Of course, if it's a headshot, the plates won't matter. |
The NRA has been eerily silent this past week. |
They've spent two decades building a framework in Americans' minds that just crumbled to dust in one week. It's gonna take them a while to recover. |
Make them illegal and impose high fines for possession. Offer a bounty to people who turn in the holdouts. It will take a decade to get most of them, but they'll eventually make a dent. |
You're funny. |
Australia managed to get pretty much all their automatic, semi-automatic, and pump action shotguns out of private hands when they were made illegal after the Port Arthur Massacre. Overall, 1 million firearms were destroyed. There were various gun "amnesties" offered to those who retained weapons, no questions asked. This can happen in the US, too. It will obviously be on a much larger scale. |
And yet gun sales are breaking records literally every single month. I was reading that a single gun shop in FL was selling 30 AR-15s every single day over the last few weeks. |
A million guns were seized? That doesn't even move the needle in the US, where 300 million guns are in private hands. Say it slowly and let it sink in: 300 million. Australia also doesn't have a Second Amendment. |
It's interesting to me how many people think it's possible to round up 11 million immigrants and deport them compared to how many people think collecting 15 million guns is impossible. No one is saying to ban all guns, just a small minority of them.
I don't know how much overlap there is between the two groups above, but it's still interesting. |
So disgusting. |
