The Official VerySkeptical gun control thread

Most Americans (democrats and republicans) want legislation banning assault weapons. Please spare the standard “define assault weapon” or “what is an assault weapon”.
Guns like AK-47 and AR15.
Simple right?

Gallup poll for one. I know you can find others, It’s not that hard. It’s around 60%, but It doesn’t matter dude, nothing is gonna change and you’ll still get to blow shit up. Hee Haw!!

And how is "around 60%" - of ANYTHING - "most people"??

Blimey! ... Betelgeuse would surely be onto me
like the colour white onto rice if I ever made
a silly claim that "around 60% is MOST"...

So yer whole idea there is WRONG.

I’m neither. Originally Posted by Charley3

You don't have to because I'm neither. You can't produce a poll asserting what you claim because A. there are no such polls, B. Any polls showing anything near what you assert are manipulated (.ie calling a rifle an assault weapon).

(Word of warning.... I'm going at laugh at you no matter how you choose to answer). Even you know it sounds like a stupid argument. 60% of people think money grows on trees.... ^0% of scientists agree on Global warming. Consensus is all that matters to the small minded.

Consensus is the peer pressure of the adult world.

You guys are predictable. Lol. Again, it won’t matter what poll I show you. Google it! Even you all can do that! Lol And we all know what guns are being used for mass murder. That’s all we’re talking about.
Like I said, relax. Nobody is gonna touch responsible gun legislation. Gun lobby is obviously well funded. $$$$
Me thinks you all feel a little guilty. Maybe the blood coming out of schools makes you wonder if blowing up cans and targets is really worth it?

Which school of demagoguery did you attend? You do realize a "gun", scary looking or not, is an inanimate object. Right? It doesn't vote, it doesn't pontificate and drone on in social media or forums and it doesn't leave a tip on the night stand. Deranged lunatics, on the other hand, are a real problem, even more so than psychotic politicians that want to demagogue over inanimate objects that just so happen to be a right, as the Bill of Rights explains.

You are making the assertion. Without evidence, which you claim is so easy to find, why should anyone listen to you?

And we all know what guns are being used for mass murder. Originally Posted by Charley3

Another swing and a miss. We ALL Don't know what guns are being used for mass murder. Because if you knew anything, which you evidently don't, it's that handguns are used in most fatal crimes, not long guns. Does that mean "assault weapons" are handguns??? YOU don't know.

That’s all we’re talking about.

Why would I feel guilty? My guns never have and never will harm children. I don't own weapons so that I can plink away at cans. I own them for self-defense against criminals and against the government (but I repeat myself). Exactly as our forefathers intended.

Gov. Jim Pillen Signs Bill Making Nebraska 27th Constitutional Carry State

...On April 25, Pillen signed the legislation, praising constitutional carry sponsor, state Sen. Tom Brewer (R), for persevering to the end.

Fox News quoted Pillen saying, “Signing this bill upholds the promise I made to voters to protect our constitutional rights and promote commonsense, conservative values. I appreciate the hard work of those senators who supported this legislation, and particularly that of Sen. Brewer who led this charge and carried it through to the end.”

There are currently 26 constitutional carry states in the Union. Those states are Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming. (Florida’s constitutional carry law takes effect July 1, 2023.)

A-N-D Nebraska makes it 27 out of 50 and growing.
