Thanks for the prompt response TexasDem69 Oct 2023 #6

I'd prefer to treat these semiautomatic weapons TexasDem69 Oct 2023 #2

You didn't provide any support for your post TexasDem69 Oct 2023 #14

In the time we've crossed paths you have never given any support for AndyS Oct 2023 #17

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

Welcome back! TexasDem69 Oct 2023 #4

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 need to go enjoy family life now. I'll get back to you. discntnt_irny_srcsm Oct 2023 #13

I didn't even know that full auto gunz TexasDem69 Oct 2023 #15

Then I suggest you educate yourself. You won't accept anything I give you anyway. nt AndyS Oct 2023 #16

Open the mouth and tilt the head back . . . AndyS Oct 2023 #19

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

I did not misconstrue the Sandy Hook comment. It is a stock reply to any attempt AndyS Oct 2023 #32

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
