But, if these measures make it more difficult to obtain an automatic assault weapon
There are already measures that make it more difficult.
When was the last time an automatic weapon was used in a shooting?

Isn’t strangling someone against the law? I don’t understand your point.
Yeah, but guns seem to be the problem here. No, the problem is fkn crazy people. If someone can kill people 17 at a time we have to restrict rights because of a crazy person, but if a person kills 17 people with his hands over years, we don't cut off people's hands.

This guy eners the school with a pistol and he kills maybe 3 or 4 people? You think he is going to kill 20 ppl with a pistol? He'd have to be a Navy SEAL.
Hol E shite.
I'm at a loss to even address this ridiculousness.

So you really think that one of these loons would say, oh well if I can't get my hands on that AR-15 I've been seeing everyone else use I guess I can't shoot up my school too. No, he wouldn't just stop there because he's fricking crazy. He'd go get extended magazines for another type of semi automatic weapon and use that instead.
Excuse my technicality. My stance and subsequent arguments would be to ban all semi-automatic weaponry

You do realize the Va Tech shooter used pistols? He killed 32 and wounded 17.

The US military could destroy us all if the people tried to fight.
They did such a bang up job in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and Iraq again.
Even though we won all those wars, it shows the limitations of conventional military forces against an asymmetrical threat.
Now, imagine if it was here and they were ordered to turn their guns on their family and friends. Changes the calculus in my book.

There are probably less than a dozen cases in the last 30-40 years of a registered machine gun being used in a crime...

Arguably better equipped with automatic weapons.

Not to mention even the mighty USA doesn’t have a standing army large enough to occupy the landmass

Sorry, semi-automatic.
And the current measures are bullshite. The measure I propose would be to ban them altogether. What, again, is the risk? The gubment gonna git us?

Okay, so we agree. Sorry, I thought it was a counterpoint and I didn’t see the angle. My bad

The rifle used in the recent school shooting, along with almost every other, was semi automatic.
There has never been a fully automatic weapon used in a mass shooting. They are hard to obtain legally. It's a very expensive process due the fact that automatic rifles are rare, and it's time consuming.
