If you did decide to do an angry hateful school shooting (NOT saying you would) Id prefer if you could only find a single shot bolt action rather than an ar and sling of 30 round magazines.
Ok, but that only addresses that one possible circumstance. But suppose my house is broken into and I'm facing a gang of thugs with their own weapons. I'd hate to be restricted to defending myself with a single shot bolt action, and I don't think I should be, even if that's what someone else prefers.
By your logic though would it be better to save more lives or fewer? In other words if your whole thing is saving one life ( saving a few lives) then we should ban seatbelts seat belts can take lives, but they save many more than they take. Banning assault weapons to save the few lives would be like banning seat belts. Remember just because something is banned does not mean people who mean harm will not have it (particularly in the beginning assaults weapons were banned once before and the ban lapsed; since there have been millions more made. The people who would do damage do not care two hoots if something is banned and the people that do not do not need them banned.
Good thoughts. But I have to go to rehearsal..... Hopefully can follow up later.
Oh the world would carry on, but a tiny number of people, and a larger number of people who are part of the trans movement, are having a major effect on more and more people's lives. It's part of the anti-Judeo/Christian movement. You can see this guy hated Trump and Jews and Christians and blacks and took part in the violence that is preached.
Transgenderism is an ideology - not a mental illness.
Very well said. I think this young man’s transgenderism should have been treated as a mental illness rather than his “gender identity” and he should have gotten help for his anger and hatred. This whole tragedy should have been prevented, it’s heartbreaking.
In California below are the features of assault-style weapons:
There have always been people ( at least for quite a while who have crossdressed you cannot really ban things like that (particularly as bans have history of failing anyway.
But it can always be addressed. Cross dressing isn’t the same as transgendered ideology.

Fox News host Trey Gowdy said on Wednesday that “the only thing that can give us any modicum of peace” over a Minnesota school shooting is that the two victims were with Jesus Christ now.
No, because there are many other guns available for people to choose from for self defense besides assaut-style weapons.
that was not my point. My point is you want to save lives true? If so, then is it better to save 1 or 100? If banning assault weapons saves say 1 yet baning regular guns could save 100 then why not the 100.
Enforce the law by incarcerating the criminals and destroying every gun that is used in a crime. If it's found that a gun owner made it easy for someone to access a gun that was in their possession and it's used in a crime, take all of their guns away from them and destroy them. It will take quite a while, perhaps several decades, but eventually most of the guns out there on the streets will be gone.
yes they do but you are saying assault weapons should be banned yet they kill the fewest people if you want to save the most lives would it not make more sense to leave the assault weapons and target the weapons that ACTUALLY take more lives?
so in those decades we would still lose people . Plus, what if someone did NOT make it easy for them to access the gun you destroy the gun anyway ( even current asset forefiture law dos not work like that. That is to say that if someone honestly does not know their property came from or is being used for illegal purposes he or she will not lose it ( now if they reasonablly should have known they will but if they truely did not know they will not lose their property just because it was used in a crime
