...by whatever number of deaths (6 or more) we use as a criterion, we accept that gun massacres decreased during the federal AWB.

Where do we go from here?

Maybe we just restart the AWB:
Ban the sale of:
Semi-automatic rifles able to accept detachable magazines and has two or more of the following:
-Folding or telescoping stock
-Pistol grip
-Bayonet mount
-Flash hider or threaded barrel designed to accommodate one
-Grenade launcher (I think the actual text was more like grenade launcher mounts)

Do we bring this back?

What is the definition of "military grade"? TexasDem69 Oct 2023 #3

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

Aw c'mon. Read the frickin' OP, AndyS Oct 2023 #8

So give me a link showing that semiautomatic rifles TexasDem69 Oct 2023 #9

Go do your own frickin' homework, I'm fed up with educating AndyS Oct 2023 #11

If you don't like discussing issues, then maybe a discussion forum isn't the place for you. Act_of_Reparation Oct 2023 #12

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

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

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
