One across the board fucked up thing about the discussion isthat  the first thing anybody looks for whenever there's a mass shooting is what color/religion the guy is.

True. Political affiliation too

And that's also the reason it hasn't been posted here...

That's speaker Johnson.

Yeah, and I'm sure hoping he can keep the far right GOP loonie crowd in line enough to prevent a government default coming up shortly. I'll give the guy a fair chance, but his past history is concerning to me- to say the least.

We should aspire to not lead the developed world in gun violence

Suicides, gang violence, mass shootings, rage shooting, etc

And that has exactly what to do with mass shootings Vambo?  

Mental health...kinda like how stupid wino's get when then have a few.  Mass shooting are done by people with mental health issues.  You're not able to own a gun are you Larry?

Is 7.62x39mm AMMUNITION ACCURATE?

I think the first thing that we need to do is to dispel the longstanding opinion that 7.62x39mm ammunition is not accurate. That is simply not the truth. The first thing that non-fans of the 7.62x39mm will state to start their argument of the inaccuracy of the round is that the round does not have a flat trajectory. I'm not going to argue with that too much for now. It actually depends on the load. And depending upon that load, by the time it reaches the 250-yard range, the bullet may drop 8 plus inches. Usually not great for a factory load, past 300 yards, it's okay. It was never actually ever meant to be used as a long-range cartridge. That doesn't mean that it won't travel beyond 300 yards, it simply means that it has lost some velocity at that range and may not penetrate with the same punch as it does at closer ranges. Substituting accurate range past 300 yards, you will get a round that has light recoil and the ability to deliver an accurate and powerful punch to its target within 250 yards or so, and that's not bad for this larger round. The 7.62x39mm round actually has very similar ballistics to a 30-30 Winchester round. 7.62x39mm's have around eighty percent of the energy of a 30-30 round upon leaving the muzzle. It also has a comparable trajectory.

The .223 round used in ARs has the same diameter as a .22, but packs more punch with more lead.

Military uses 5.56 NATO rounds.  They tumble and blow the fuck out of what they hit.  AK uses as above.

Hey Die Hard how big are the rounds in an ak-47? What are they similar to; I thought they were like a 22? Yes? No?

So in Mr. Johnson's opinion, what this country needs is for everyone to have a come to Jesus moment. ?

And if we ban guns, people will just use their cars as deadly weapons. Maybe he forgot that sort of thing has already happened right here in the good old USA.

Look you have guns and you like to go hunting. Not because you need the food but because in some sick fucked up way you like to hurt living creatures. I realize it's pretty widespread hobby. But regardless of my snark only a comprehensive and strict across the board ban will make any difference.

There were laws in place in Maine that weren't followed so who cares about more laws? Either man up and support the ban or stfu. It really is as simple as that.

Holding people accountable for actual acts of evil isn't in the Democrat Party playbook. And since you have decided to toe that line..
