They want assault looking weapons like the AR15 off of the streets.
The glorification of the AR15 is the problem. It has become the end all problem solver .
I’m sure no other weapon gives the bearor the superiority over all of life’s problems , as deranged as that seems.
People want these guns off of our streets .
Everything thing else is smoke and mirrors.
Just take the ffing guns off of the streets. With severe penalties for illegal ownership./or possession.
Why is this such a hard thing to accomplish.
We had laws banning Thompson machine guns., banning silencers , made it illegal to cut off shotgun barrels. We had laws at one time. Transporting guns had to be broken down and in a different part of the car from the ammo. We had laws.
Nobody was upset by these laws. They kept people safe.
Today we are unsafe over a second amendment argument.
Never brought to light before.
Do you really have a right to die over the 2nd Amendment.

You just are not that bright, are you? You actually think that a rifle's appearance has something to do with it's performance. It does not.
Ignorance is nothing to be ashamed of. Refusing to have it corrected is. I am here to save you a little embarrassment. I'll send a bill later.
First, you say "people want these guns off the streets." That must be why well over 20 million of them have been sold.
I know this is hard for you, but there is an actual law enforcement source you can reference if you doubt what I'm saying. It's called the FBI. Everything I am telling you is in their official publications. (Links to follow).
https://www.usa.gov/crime-statisticsYou will note my cites have .gov after them.
Scary looking rifles are used in less than 2% of the murders every year. This is not my opinion, this is fact taken from official FBI publications you can check for yourself.
Knives, clubs and bare hands account for more murders every year for the past twenty years than your scary looking rifles. Every. Year. Once more I provided the FBI stats above.
You cannot just "take the guns off the streets." This has nothing to do with the 2nd Amendment, but with Article I Sections 9 & 10 of the US Constitution, which forbids either State or Federal government from making ex post facto law. You probably don't know what that is. It means you cannot make something illegal retroactively, nor can you penalize someone for doing something that was legal when they did it.
The Clintoon gun ban absolutely exempted previously purchased firearms, magazines, etc.
https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/constitution-transcriptThompson machine guns are not prohibited, they are just heavily regulated.
When you say "silencer" you mean "suppressor." These do NOT make a firearm silent, except in the case of a small caliber weapon whose projectile is moving at a subsonic speed. Projectile speed, by the way, is not impacted by the presence of a suppressor. In heavily gun controlled Europe, in many areas, suppressors are required. They do not silence anything, they just make it less noisy in most cases.
It has never been illegal to cut off a shotgun barrel, as long as it is at least 18" long.
Firearms, except in a few states, could be transported all in one piece and usually loaded.
In the past 25 years, the US population has grown by over 60 million people. More than 100 million more firearms have found their way into private hands, more than 20 million of these are your scary looking rifles, and more than 20 million concealed carry permits have been issued. This doesn't count the 26 states who no longer require a permit to carry a concealed firearm.
The result is a murder rate that is about 30% lower than 25 years ago.
https://www.usa.gov/crime-statisticsThese are facts, backed by US government statistics, not your less than knowledgeable opinions. You should hire someone to fact check for you since you seem unable to grasp the concept yourself.
Go ahead; try and prove me wrong. Provide some government or law enforcement statistics that contradict what said.
"Youz" have a nice day.
Oh, and by the way, you frequently use "youz." It's spelled "youse."
