What I don’t understand is why you don’t advocate for banning handguns first instead of long guns? They cause more deaths than any other gun type. Wouldn’t you want any new gun legislation to have the most amount of impact on lives if society is going to do it? Ok, then let's ban hand guns, or make them much more difficult to obtain.

But yet they aren’t and it’s telling. 1 Link to comment
RedDenver Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 You'd think we could at least do something about mass shootings and our children getting slaughtered in our schools but nope. Apparently gun fetish is more important than some simple regulation like controlling or banning high capacity weapons. Link to comment

Just like I think no civilians should have hand grenades, they aren't practical and should not be legal just because some moron wants to play army man. Handguns are practical. Exactly. Reasonable arguments are the most productive in this discussion. Hysterical "wE mUsT bAn AlL gUnS!!!" doesn't fix anything. We should not ban hunting rifles because there are no natural predators for deer and they'd overbreed & ruin crops & cause accidents to a much greater degree. There are practical, realistic, common sense steps we can take. And we should take them, even if those steps don't mean the end of all gun deaths. 1 Link to comment

That's the first step of the argument to "we can't ban all guns so let's ban none." There's no reason to engage in that conversation. 1 Link to comment
teachercd Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 If you can shoot it, without having to manually reload it, it should not be legal. Link to comment
