I think you answered your own question.Originally Posted by happystuff

No, I didn't. Why can't we remove assault weapons and save some souls?

What's an "assault weapon"?
What percentage of the legally owned "assault weapons" in the USA are used to "take souls"?
I think you can probably search on these forums and find some data.
Okay, THIS is why we can't... people arguing over semantics while others die.
YOU can talk "data" if you want. I'm not talking percentages; I'm talking lives and even 1 is too many.

But there ARE already all kinds of gun laws. We DID “start.”
Why arent gun laws obeyed?
It isnt the guns that are ignoring the laws, it is the shooters.
Agree. And not just why aren't gun laws obeyed, but why aren't they enforced - from buying to selling to owning to carrying to firing, etc?
And, no, guns don't care one way or the other - being the inanimate objects that they are.
And, yes, maybe there was a "start", but things are still "broken"; where is the follow-thru?

Happy, some people don’t realize that there is a happy medium between taking away assault weapons and letting people keep hunting guns and pistols. Part of me is glad I have no grandchildren to worry about.
No actually there's not. Do you know the difference between the "assault weapon" you want to take away and a modern semi-automatic pistol? 'Some people' do know, there is no appreciable difference.

So take away one.... take away the other.... take away both.. increase regulations on who can buy... on who can own.... DO SOMETHING!
I'm not arguing the legal ownership of guns - I'm arguing the killing and the appropriateness of the "assault weapons" used to do that killing! You seem to be more worried about the guns than the people that are dying.
