2. I'd prefer to treat these semiautomatic weapons

Like all other semiautomatic weapons—private ownership protected by the 2d Amendment subject to reasonable restrictions. The statistics you cite show they are rarely used in mass shootings, but that’s not the test in any event.

And I suspect you’re simply wrong about the prevalence of semiautomatic rifles in mass shootings since 2020, unless we’ve changed the definition of mass shootings. Any support?

Go back an re-read your source. It refers to active shooters, not mass shootings. AndyS Oct 2023 #18

Opening that registry to allow in post '86 full-autos won't be popular. discntnt_irny_srcsm Oct 2023 #7

Just stop with the 'what if'. It is as I presented it. AndyS Oct 2023 #10

I think you are thinking of the last instance of a legally acquired full-auto being used in a crime. discntnt_irny_srcsm Oct 2023 #20

Nice dodge. Not wasting time on that. n/t discntnt_irny_srcsm Oct 2023 #21

Considering AR-15 type rifles sales increased during the AWB hack89 Oct 2023 #23

Why did mass shooting decrease? nt AndyS Oct 2023 #24

For some other reason hack89 Oct 2023 #25

So I guess it comes down to how to define success. Is success decreasing mass shootings or AndyS Oct 2023 #26

But gun sales went up and deaths went down hack89 Oct 2023 #27

*Sigh* Someday I'll understand the gunner mentality but not soon. AndyS Oct 2023 #28

The point is the AWB didn't actually ban anything beyond minor cosmetic features hack89 Oct 2023 #29

Let try one more time. AndyS Oct 2023 #30

So you agree that more guns resulted in fewer deaths hack89 Oct 2023 #31

Saving lives is great hack89 Oct 2023 #33

Simple question for you. hack89 Oct 2023 #34

I do not because keeping such records about guns is forbidden. AndyS Oct 2023 #35

I say the number was zero hack89 Oct 2023 #36

There's no data to support that or any other number. AndyS Oct 2023 #37

But the AWB allowed all existing owners of assault weapons to keep their weapons, correct? hack89 Oct 2023 #38

Yes it is. AndyS Oct 2023 #39

With no decrease in guns. So how could the AWB be responsible? hack89 Oct 2023 #40

I postulated a possible explanation but you seem to have missed it. AndyS Oct 2023 #41

I'll reply to you, as Andy has stated he's blocked me... yagotme Oct 2023 #43

Okay, for the sake of argument... discntnt_irny_srcsm Oct 2023 #42
