"Senate Dems introduce 'assault weapons' ban bill on 205 gun models"

[AndyS]

14. Gun supporters need to just get over themselves.

There are, at best, 10% of the voting population that vote on this one issue above all others. Period.

However we agree on one thing; banning something by description is silly. There's always a workaround. We need to base restrictions on what actually makes something dangerous. Function, not feature.

That is why I suggest and support the prohibition on manufacturing, importing, transferring or possessing any semi auto weapon that accepts an interchangeable magazine. Reduce the rate of fire and rate of injury/death follows.

Over decades of discussion with those who have in depth knowledge about firearms and should be best equipped to offer constructive advice on reducing the lethality of their use I have become weary of beating my head against that wall. Decades of compromise with the gun supporters has netted nothing and so the death toll (and injury at a rate 3 times that) is once again on the increase. I have come to the point of just fuck your feelings*. No more compromise.

*That is the 'editorial' you, not the OP personally.
