re: The psychology of the "scary gun" look of "assault rifles"

To pretend the look of the AR's etc aren’t a driving component of what makes them so popular is being dishonest.

You’re missing the point. A .22 to go squirrel hunting or shotgun for duck hunting doesn’t have that aggressive look that to a mentally unstable kid makes them so appealing when they want to go kill a bunch of kids at school.
Your posts are great example of thinking you can outlaw mental illness and evil by outlawing a "style" of firearms. Silly.

ARs aren't the only "scary looking" guns though. You're just doing the typical dumb liberal things yall like to do.
They are the ones that most of these school shooters gravitate towards. I guess I should say any aggressively styled military looking weapon.

I don't give a frick what your opinion is on how a gun "needs" to look. You're making a stupid emotional argument to trample on my god given rights because you're an emotional reactionary pussy. frick off.
Show me in the Bible where god declared your right to any and all manner of weapons?

Are you really suggesting that the manufacturers design these things just to look cool?

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about and this statement proves it. You're comparing apples and oranges. This is like comparing a pair of wrestling shoes to a pair of hiking boots and saying the only difference is that one is designed to look cool and the other isn't.

it would likely reduce the number of these shootings we keep seeing and is a much more realistic solution than a lot of the proposals

I dunno about warm and fuzzy but it would likely reduce the number of these shootings we keep seeing and is a much more realistic solution than a lot of the proposals I’ve heard like turning schools into prisons/fortresses and putting an armed retired cop/military person in every single school etc.

I get that the AR-15 etc is like any other semi-automatic rifles
Its like a higher powered .22
There's far more powerful semi autos out there.

The statistics don't back you up on this, not that you care. You listen to what the media tells you and just roll with it.

I don't need to show you that. The Bill of Rights already spells it out.

It's hilarious to watch celebrities and politicians talk about how AR's have no use in hunting and that hunting rifles are ok because they're not as powerful as a hunting round.

aggressive styling of these rifles
What is this?
What makes a style “aggressive”

Single moms that laid down with deadbeats and got pregnant or were so insufferable that they ran off the father, are you blame for what you’re seeing today. No one will say it but I will. This is the result of so many single parent households thanks to woke feminism.

I have a Marlin 336C 30-30 that looks like an old school western lever action that's much scarier.

That 6.5x55 is close to the 6.5 Carcano (6.5x52) that was allegedly used to assassinate Kennedy. Bolt action rifle that changed the course of US history.

Would you agree/disagree that the aggressive styling of these rifles plays a role in making them desirable by the type of kid who goes on to be a school shooter and that it’s as if a way for them to try to feel like they are in a reel life version of video games.
People will blame anything but the root cause. Society is falling apart because our culture abandoned biblical morality and the nuclear family as the bedrock of society a long time ago. Making a gun “less scary” isn’t going to replace dads and morality.

I agree with the lack of church and nuclear family etc. But limiting kids access to these weapons would reduce the number of school shootings. If we as a society actually wanted to prevent these from happening it seems like a no brainer.

Is it easier to harden schools or to confiscate 500 million guns? Is it easier to harden schools or pass legislation requiring cosmetic changes to scary looking guns?
The path of least resistance is making schools more secure.
We protect every other valuable asset from money to large offices to politicians to airports to you name it with hardened security but for some reason it is political to extend this same logic to protecting our children.

If I spray paint my two ARs pink and remove the optics, barreling, and other attachments will you and your ilk leave me alone?

How about we ban the first shooter video games? Who's freaking idea was it to market games promoting violent crimes to children?
Don't blame the gun, its only a tool. Most mass shooters have two primary things in common - first person shooter video games and and anti-psychotic medications. Blaming the gun is weak. Psychos kill with any means possible including kool aid.
