Why Opposition to Special Permits for Assault Rifles ?

Shall not be infringed.

Its not hard to understand. Unless you have no reading comprehension.

What other rights would you like to have to pay for a permit for?

Officer: "Mr. Boodis, I see that you have not paid for your 2022 fee to keep you free from searches and seizures. Please step aside so we can look around your house and car. Its for your own protection. Thank you for your understanding."

and extensive vetting? seems like common sense at this point

If you are ok with taking all guns away from black males residing in urban areas than we can have this conversation. But if you aren’t willing to directly address the majority of gun violence than you really have no standing to attack 2A rights to try and stop a statistically insignificant issue.

Most firearm-related homicides in the United States involve handguns.[85][86][87] A 2019 Pew Research study found that 4% of US gun deaths were caused by semi-automatic rifles, a category which includes AR-15 style rifles.[88] According to a 2013 analysis by Mayors Against Illegal Guns, 14 out of 93 mass shootings involved high-capacity magazines or assault weapons.[89] Nevertheless, AR-15 style rifles have played a prominent role in many high-profile mass shootings in the United States[90] and have come to be widely characterized as the weapon of choice for perpetrators of these crimes.[91] AR-15s or similar rifles were the primary weapons used in half of the 10 deadliest mass shootings in modern American history

Point over your head.

There is always going to be something widely available.

If not the AR, then the Glock, the pump shotgun, etc. The AR just happens to hold that slot at the moment. If it wasn't that, it would be something else.

Gun expert Dean Hazen and mass murder researcher Pete Blair think that mass shooters' gun choices have less to do with the AR-15's specific characteristics but rather with familiarity and a copycat effect.[97][98]

At the end of the day it is still just a semi-automatic .223 rifle. Anyone who hunts with a rifle knows that is not a terribly powerful round relative to other rifle rounds. If the goal is to get maximum effect from each bullet a .223 bullet is not the best choice. There are larger and more powerful rounds out there. But I agree with Dean and Pete here. It has become the gun du jour for psycho mass murderers...basically because they have seen other (their muses if you will) use the same gun. It's like a mass murder playbook.

So now you ban it. Is that going to take away the urge for these deranged individuals to kill people? Of course not.

First of all, someone who is willing to commit mass-murder is not going to be dissuaded from doing so because he doesn't want to break the law by possessing an illegal gun. He's already willing to commit one of, if not the most heinous crime a person can commit. Do you really think he gives a shite about being found guilty of a lesser gun possession crime?

Second, if the AR is banned the killers will simply find a new gun or weapon to use. So you'll just create a new gun du jour for psychos to copycat. Perhaps even larger caliber guns that have the potential to inflict much more damage per bullet than the .223.

Because many of the people in charge of implementing the laws, vetting folks and subsequently judging them believe that men can become pregnant.

Why should an insane person be the arbiter of sanity?

I don’t give a frick about your opinions.

A simple civics test is likely racist in your book just like math is racist.

I’ll take it that you don’t want to compromise as per the radical leftist usual.

We are in the process of being invaded from within…..why anyone would want our govt to control access to any gun at this point is beyond me. Our own god damn President can’t figure out when to take a shite without his wife telling him when and where to do so…..but yea let him control guns.

Why the opposition to voter id?

Common sense would tell you that people willing to commit a criminal act don’t care about breaking laws to get a firearm. Having restrictions on purchasing certain firearms only hinders those that would never use the weapon in a illegal manner.
