Taking guns away from the good people does not make the world safer.

Yeah, actually, it does.

It reduces (a) suicides, (b) accidents, and (c) some murders.

For maneuverability and close in fighting  a shotgun or handgun would be more efficient than an AR.

Definition of assault rifle
: any of various intermediate-range, magazine-fed military rifles (such as the AK-47) that can be set for automatic or semiautomatic fire
also : a rifle that resembles a military assault rifle but is designed to allow only semiautomatic fire

An AR-15 is an assault rifle, even if you don't like it.

It's not an AK-47, but it does do the damage the Pediatric Surgeons describe.

Your insistence on fighting over the word is inane, under pedantic circumstances, but it is cruelly insensitive in these circumstances.

I don't fucking care what word is used to ban AR-15 type weapons and others that do the same thing.

I don't know why you do.

Why do you want people to have high capacity magazines that can shoot rounds so often and of such power that children are unrecognizable when they've been shot and seldom able to get to the hospital to have a chance of being saved?

I have never stated an opinion on magazines. But, magazines have nothing to do with the power or damage caused by the caliber of ammunition loaded into them. You may want to inform yourself before you continue to spread ignorance. The AR 15 is owned by upwards of 20 million Americans. In the last dozen years 11 mass shootings involved Ar 15 s

You are a disingenuous piece of scum.

Larger magazines serve as a multiplier of the damage done.

But you knew that.

And the answer is yes, you are insensitive - and since I explained that I don't care the wording that is required to ban them, your response to it is absurd and disconnected from what I wrote.

No news.

Wrong. Only Automatic fire can be an AssAult Weapon which have been banned since the 1930s

Wrong. An AR 15 is a rifle, owned by 20 million Americans used for hunting, competitive and target shooting and self defense.

Because we tried that with no effect n mass shootings

Then ban all guns. They are capable of the same carnage in the hands of the insane.
Go ahead,   try it.

For maneuverability and close in fighting  a shotgun or handgun would be more efficient than an AR.

And?

If intruders are coming up the walk from the street a rifle would be best for distance and accuracy.
However if  intruders are already inside the home the shotgun is a better weapon.

Accuracy is not a problem.

That Walter Mitty-esque experience, he believes, plays a crucial role in the ARs enduring allure.

Definitely alluring to the kind of fake man who becomes a fake Christian, votes republican, abuses himself and every woman in his life.

44% of Republicans said that mass shootings are something we have to accept as part of a free society.

(A majority of Republicans -- 56% -- said mass shootings are something we can prevent and stop if we really tried.)

That number is a striking departure from how the country as a whole views the issue. More than 7 in 10 Americans (72%) said that mass shootings could be prevented if we really tried, while just 28% said they were part of living in a free society.
