Biden says Congress should ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines after Colorado shooting

Gun manufacturers are going to make another boat load off of this.
I’ve heard this a lot but we already do background checks. I’ve only bought gums from dealers. Are there certain transactions that are exempt?
That’s exactly what happened at every mass shooting already. We’re still waiting for the 100 million strong cavalry to show up.
They never do though.
I’m on board with this. The 2nd Amendment is about 200 years overdue for a major overhaul. What was intended or what worked back then is way outdated.
Are you seriously trying to work the angle that a guy who tried to stop murder but failed needs to be a focus for why would should not attempt to stop it? Remember the fellas in Texas that shot a armed lunatic going off? Those stories don't sell. I know you guys see this and think shit is cray cray but there are 330,000,000 million people in the country and almost as many guns. Gun crimes, especially of a certain profile, make great news.
Any other part of the constitution you want to change? There are reasons those guys found certain things so damn important to put in there.
What I am saying is even a good guy with a gun didn't stop the carnage.
Pretty much blows up the gun nuts talking points.
And I'm saying a good guy with a gun did stop the carnage. It's a shame that an armed private citizen didn't stop it sooner, but the fact remains, it still took a good guy with a gun to stop the bad guy with a gun.
The problem is, your solution only works if everyone has guns. As it is, for every example you cite we can find 10 where there wasn’t a good guy with a gun present.
You are of the belief the gun violence would go down if responsible gun owners gave up their firearms?
Had my girlfriend (no pic) been there, she would have given the guy a fight. You'd be surprised at how many women are carrying these days.
It doesn't matter though. I don't carry, but if someone breaks into my house, I don't want to be outgunned.
Did ya fact check that, or simply post something that supported your beliefs?
Did I say that?
what I am for is attacking this issue from all sides, both on addressing the reasons that cause people to commit crimes using guns as well as reducing the availability of at least some guns to commit those crimes. I’m just tired of hearing the good guys with a gun are the only good defense, when in reality it requires a specific set of circumstances to be effective.
Do you think Biden could go farther than Obama if he declares a National Emergency?
I doubt he would, but just curious if that would allow more options.
Gun Homicide Rate Down 49% Since 1993 Peak; Public Unaware
National rates of gun homicide and other violent gun crimes are strikingly lower now than during their peak in the mid-1990s, paralleling a general decline in violent crime, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of government data. Beneath the long-term trend, though, are big differences...

Correct. It’s a bunch of good guys with a bunch of guns. You better stop now. You’re getting owned here. Signed -
Gun Nut.
Would certainly be more cost efficient. We could show wayyyyy more progress in a couple of years than the WoD has in 3 decades.
We're talking LEO. Not some roided up private citizens that saved the day.
I suspect there's a percentage of high powered weapons owners that got beat up in high school that now feel tough because they own an AK.
Did I just describe you?
My understanding is that he was one of the first cops on the scene, they could still hear gunshots, so he went in. I’m assuming he probably had only a side arm, I have no idea whether or not patrol units regularly carry extra ordinance in their cars.
Sad deal. 51 and leaves behind 7 kids. His dad told CNN he was looking into becoming a drone operator since it would be less dangerous. Too bad he didn't get that done. There are some LEOs who put their family first and walk away and start another career. Too bad there aren't more.
I wasn’t bullied in HS and I dont own an AK. Nor any rifle that uneducated folks might characterize as an assault weapon. And I don’t take ‘roids’. I’m an all natural athlete thank you though.
BUT I firmly believe in the law abiding citizenry being allowed to arm themselves without restriction. For a whole host of reasons. We can debate those if you’re up to it. But if you are gonna engage in ad hominem attacks it isn’t worth my time.
You might be used to being able to be the aggressor in win debates by acquiescence but you’re gonna be outmatched here so fair warning.
Yes. Why do there need to be restrictions? If I’m law abiding I should be able to own whatever I want.
I can't imagine one good reason why an average American citizen needs to possess a semi auto. Not one.
Dude. Shotguns can be semi auto. As are almost all pistols. Educate yourself. Seriously. Or do you mean to ban those too?
Now if you mean so called assault rifles, I can. Protection from government intrusion and usurpation of our right to self determination and liberty.
The gun debate has never been about being able to own an .223 to hunt. Never. That had zero to do with the 2nd Amnedment. Framing the debate this way belies your ignorance to the original intent.
Maybe thats the point?
