OMG, Shoot Me Now

[Jenksy]

And no comparison to the amount of desths by handgun vs rifle (any rifle including the AR/AK)

Sounds like an NRA tactic of diversion. A mass shooter can kill many more people with a an AR15. No comparison with other guns.

The NRA exists to protect and increase profits. Every politician who has ever taken money from them should be immediately sent home.

WOW. A new definition of democracy. You need to seek out a country like that and move there!

Sadly, you associate facts with diversion on the subject.
Sadly you bring politics into the conversation.
Your obvious strong bias leaves no room for honest discussion.
Btw, should those "sent home politicians" be escorted by armed officials? LoL

There is no earthly reason for any civilian to own an assault weapon.

There is no purpose for guns in 2016. Chicago's wild west murder streak makes the point. So regardless of the type of gun, if you ban guns, surprisingly the murder rate goes down. Bad people do bad things, I get it. Look at countries with a weapons ban and look at the very few countries without a ban. There is no comparison of the number of gun related deaths. YTD almost 2,000 people have been injured or killed in gun related accidents. "If you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns." Sorry Bubba, but statistics show that permitted gun carriers still die at roughly the same rate as non-gun toting individuals. Bad guys do bad things.

BTW I am fairly conservative, so this isn't a Hillary hugger comment. We can still be free and not have guns, it is possible. Our evil government will not go despot on us, so no need to have a hand cannon. As far as hunting goes, create hunting clubs and leave the guns at the club.

Maybe we focus on important things like education and creating jobs.

Michael Moore showed that Canadians own tons of guns but don't shoot each other much so go figure.

This post only proves lack of understanding of the 2nd amendment. The constitution. And the context.
(Please see my post here in this thread from 9:17 am yesterday)
And btw...what exactly would you consider an "assault weapon"?
