[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey gun experts ... care to enlighten us about the effective firing range of an AR15 in comparison to something like a Beretta?  Then tell us some more about which is more appropriate for "home defense" or "self defense" against "bad guys."  [/quote]

I think most people would be totally fine with taking away AR-15s.  The only point people are TRYING to make is that this wouldn't have a huge impact.  [/quote]

+1.  It wouldn't have any meaningful impact whatsoever.  Orlando shooter would still have killed many, many people if armed with semi-auto pistols.

People focusing on the type of gun used are hindering discussion of meaningful solutions (and adding counterproductive snark to the conversation).

I think the point is then to get rid of any gun that has the capacity to shoot numerous bullets without reloading. It's not rocket science. Many Americans dot want guns that have this capacity on the streets. Problem is how to enforce it? Turn in guns? What happens and how is it enforced?[/quote]

The problem is that such a regulation would bar weapons that have legitimate uses--revolvers, hunting rifles, etc., many shotguns, etc.

Politically and perhaps constitutionally, this proposal is not viable (in addition to the practical difficulties that you point out).

It's time to look for other ways to address the problem--for better or worse, this simply stands no chance of being enacted.[/quote]

Thank God we get a new SCOTUS Associate Justice that can overturn the absurdity that is the Heller ruling.  [/quote]
