You have discovered why this issue is always argued on an emotional basis and not a factual basis, the gun is guilty of nothing we need to get mental health help for the people who kill people if we want to solve the real problem

Just another unqualified person poking his nose into our business. He says it’s inconclusive in 2021 if a assault weapon ban will have any affect on lowering population risk. He sites anti gunners and makes his decision by statistics and articles about the loss of life in mass shootings. Some of which did not involve ars. He doesn’t seem like is a pro guns person. Small victory maybe delaying the boom they want to put on us. I don’t have an ar. But a lot of people do and it’s there right. The left is over reacting. There are more feasible solutions that will work. He doesn’t consider law abiding gunners at all. If anything his article gives false hope to this poor solution. They just want to look compassionate and out for change.

The whole slant with gun violence is totally wrong. If you want to stop mass shootings, swell, but you can't do it by taking weapons away from people who abide by the law already. All that does is leave them vulnerable to the criminals, who will not, I say again, ***WILL NOT*** obey any gun control law that gets placed on the books. And they WILL get their hands on weapons, be sure of it. The Feddle Gummint is trying to tell the American People that if all "assault weapons" are banned, then the criminals won't be able to commit mass murder with guns.
Balderdash. The Feddle Gummint is utterly helpless when it comes to millions of tons of cocaine being brought over the border every month. They are likewise useless when it comes to securing the border to keep illegal aliens out. So what's going to stop Latin American criminals from bringing the guns that Barack Obama and Eric Holder sold to the drug cartels from coming right back over the border and being sold to American criminals who want them? Answer: absolutely nothing. If criminals want drugs or guns, they'll get them, rest assured.
A better solution would be to pass a Federal law requiring EVERYONE to be trained in the use of all manner of weapons---rifles, pistols, shotguns, both single shot, semi-automatics, revolvers, even crossbows; and then, once trained, tested, and passed, they would be REQUIRED to be armed at all times. The only way you would not be required to carry a weapon would be if you signed a notarized document with your local police department stating that you refuse to carry a weapon, for whatever reason. Everyone else would have to be armed, all the time. We could start with one hour of firearms instruction in grade school, and work our way up to high school graduation, when the graduate would be issued a certificate of weapons competence, and would then be free to have his or her gun with them anywhere, at any time, for any reason.
"Egad!", you're thinking. "All those people out there carrying guns all the time?!??" Yes; all the time. The law-abiding citizens aren't going to hurt anybody unless it's in self-defense, and the idiots, the drunks, the unstable, and the criminals will all be pushing up daisies at the end of approximately eighteen months; problem solved. Think of it: right now, if there are forty people inside a bank and a hophead comes in with a gun and yells, "Everybody down on the floor, now!", what happens? Forty people hit the floor, totally under the gunman's control and whim, and completely helpless to do anything to protect themselves or anyone else.
Now: if you put my plan into operation, you have forty armed people in a bank, and the hophead comes in with a gun and yells, "Everybody down on the floor, now!", what happens then? Forty people draw weapons, face the hophead, and say, "Says who?" And if the hophead is dumb enough to open fire, he'll end up with more holes in him than a screen door. Or, a lunatic comes into a school and pulls out a rifle. The principal, five teachers, the janitor, the basketball coach, and one of the bus drivers all draw down on the lunatic, and he's dead before he hits the floor. No kids get hurt, the lunatic will never hurt anybody again, and the only downside is some bullet holes in the wall that will have to be plastered up, and a couple hours extra for the custodians to mop up the blood off the floor. A few instances like that, and prevalence of mass murder will dry up like a mud puddle in August, I guarantee it.
