    Dozens if not thousands of people with fucked up ideas exist. We accept some we don't accept others unfortunately we ignore some but canonize others.

    All depends on the political and financial profit there is in it.

    I think the term "assault rifle" explains the AR-15 pretty well but since some people struggle with the concept of "language", they should just call it a "military style" weapon and be done with it. The Ar-15 is the same weapon platform used by our military personel and special forces, it was designed for that purpose. It was designed FOR THE MILITARY. It was designed to REPLACE the M14 during the Vietnam War. IT WAS DESIGNED FOR THE MILITARY.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArmaLite_AR-15

    I'm not arguing they should be taken away from law abiding people, but if you can't even call it what it really is, how are they supposed to even try to come up with some sort of legislation on stem gun violence?

    "Language", you got that right.

    The letters AR, which stands for the manufacturer Armalite has morphed into "Assault Rifle", a commonly used, although wrong term.

    When you look up "assault rifle" the definitions go anywhere from "there no such thing" to descriptions of a military rifle.

    The "no such thing" crowd analogizes that all rifles can be assault rifles, as can be a broom. If I assault you with a broom it must be an assault broom.

     Myre, Greg (February 28, 2018). "A Brief History Of The AR-15". National Public Radio. Retrieved November 20, 2021. AR" comes from the name of the gun's original manufacturer, ArmaLite, Inc. The letters stand for ArmaLite Rifle — and not for "assault rifle" or "automatic rifle.

    The M-16 was designed for the Vietnam war, flip of a switch can go from single, triple burst or fully automatic.  AR 15 is a semi auto that looks like an M16.

    What did he say in error?

    An AR-15 is not an assault rifle as you had stated.

    What classifies as an assault rifle?
    A military firearm that is chambered for ammunition of reduced size or propellant charge and that has the capacity to switch between semiautomatic and fully automatic fire

  • meanwhile, woodpecker did his thing again - came in, raised stupid ignorant hell, and left again.

    haha?

    so, the anti-2nd Amendment fools used the tragedy to go after guns.

    But.....they vote AGAINST  a bipartisan bill to make schools safer.

    What a disgrace.

    https://www.theblaze.com/news/tennessee-three-voted-against-making-schools-safer

    Tennessee Democrats who exploited Nashville massacre to push for gun control voted against bipartisan bill to make schools safer

  • Don't forget, cops were there in a few minutes and multiple people still died. "Good guys with guns" didn't prevent shit. 

    Our country has a gun problem. Mass shootings. Suicides. Gang violence. Gun owners getting angry. Etc. We have a gun problem. 

    The most common cause of death among children is now gun violence. 

    But too many politicians are in the pockets of the NRA. Too many voters are giant fucking morons. Instead of putting literally any common sense measures in place ("well regulated" my ass), we just expect more guns to fix the problem. A uniquely American problem. Pathetic

    I see you’re still spreading bullshit.

    Abortion is the leading cause of death among children.

    Again... Squawked like a bird... offered little in the way of intelligent problem solving... If Democrats would quit killing people... there would be no gun violence...

  • so, woodpecker, question (not that you have ever had a valid answer):

    If these horrible school shootings would go away, if we BROUGHT GOD and PRAYER back into our

    schools,

    would you support it?

    Thats how Biden became president.

    Also, this is not a "uniquely American problem."  I had already gone over this with you.

    Actually, you don't really have to believe in God. Even if you or I didn't believe in God but thought prayer in schools would stop school shootings I'd have no problem with it.

    But if you believe that prayer in schools and belief in a God is more harmful to children than school shootings, then you might be a liberal. Then you might be Woody.

    But when you get right down to it, I very much doubt bringing prayer back in schools would accomplish anything. It's too late. We are too far gone as a society...way past the point of no return.
