Giffords slams trumpf on gun violence/we need sensible gun law change

Most of the early gun makers would be shocked by the technology available to the common person. Watch a video of an Afghan copying an AK with hand tools.

Knives kill more Americans than all guns combined and how.many knife makers are there?

Same should be applied to semi autos. Ban them all.
They have no practical use in civilian hands.

Learn to discern Right from Wrong.

Pretty sure you don’t know what a semi automatic weapon is. Originally Posted by Jacuzzme

here in Texas it is legal to openly carry about any blade in public. Automatic ("switch blades"), double edged \dagger, Kukri or whatever it is, fixed blade or folder.

In the UK, it is illegal to carry about anything with an edge or point in public. They still have stabbings.

My personal urban-EDC is a Leatherman multitool in a belt pouch.

"You’d never know it from watching television, but civilians stop more active shooters than police and do so with fewer mistakes, according to new research from the Crime Prevention Research Center, where I serve as president. In non-gun-free zones, where civilians are legally able to carry guns, concealed carry permit holders stopped 51.5% of active shootings, compared to 44.6% stopped by police, CPRC found in a deep dive into active shooter scenarios between 2014 and 2023."

"Guns prevent an estimated 2.5 million crimes a year, or 6,849 every day. Most often, the gun is never fired, and no blood (including the criminal’s) is shed.
Every year, 400,000 life-threatening violent crimes are prevented using firearms.

60 percent of convicted felons admitted that they avoided committing crimes when they knew the victim was armed.

Forty percent of convicted felons admitted that they avoided committing crimes when they thought the victim might be armed.

Felons report that they avoid entering houses where people are at home because they fear being shot.

Fewer than 1 percent of firearms are used in the commission of a crime."
