Let's say we ban "assault style" rifles and now these types of people who will commit this terrible act no longer have access to got Wal-Mart or Academy to buy the AR (let's pretend private sales don't happen as well), what would prevent them from buying a Glock and an extended magazine to commit the same exact crime?
A guy in a confined space like a bar could kill just as many people with 2 Glock 17s and some extra mags.

What about a large truck bearing down on a crowd of people? What about a homemade bomb?
Are both of those not capable of doing as much or more damage than a rifle? And likely in a shorter period of time.
^Look at how lazy this is.
Trucks and bombs are almost unheard of in the US, yet they're used in support of guns. It's absurd. It truly is.
Find a better argument. Plenty of them exist.

I've heard the FDE ones are more accurate. Lol

Would be easier to sneak in as well.

Most hunting rifles are bolt action which wouldn’t be near as efficient for what these whackos want to accomplish. There are semi auto deer rifles but they would probably be included in any ban of semi automatic rifles.
Every “assault weapons” ban proposed in congress has exempted semi auto hunting rifles
It’s a joke.

When the US bans all these guns like its going on in Europe. Crazies will move on to knife attacks, running people over w/ trucks and making more bombs. Then what will you do next, ban trucks?
Don't think taking away all the guns solves anything. Point is that evil people will find a way to kill by any means necessary.

The only recent mass shooting that I can think of that couldn't have been accomplished with pistols would be the Vegas one.
He could have certainly brought a deer rifle and a scope up there and a bunch of mags and done plenty of damage though.

I don’t think it’s a lazy argument I think that poster is trying to justify that these murdered will find a way to kill enough people by any means necessary and if we were to ban assault weapons it wouldn’t be out of the realm to think a truck or bomb would be used.
The trucks used in Barcelona and Nice and the bomb in England at the concert had more casualties than all of our mass shootings here in the states within a 10 yr period maybe even longer. And I’m not talking about the hood deaths that are lumped into the horrendous senseless shootings with assault rifles.

I'm not taking your guns in the first place, but resorting to these stupid arguments isn't helping your side one bit.
Posted on 8/4/19 at 1:03 pm to Aristo
Gotcha. Mine is probably 25 years old and they didn't have all the fancy ones back then.

Hail already put up the best argument a couple of pages back

What's the story on this Dayton shooting?

Why are they stupid? Because they’re real world proof refuting your argument?
Why would America be different than Europe? It’s about as close of a 1 to 1 comparison as you will find.
