Where... where am I virtue signalling?

I don't give a damn about trans rights or whatever nonsense or certain thing is racist.

If I understand it, a bolt action takes more time to fire shots than a fully automatic weapon. They do determine how lethal something is in a mass shooting because timing is everything.

I'm pretty sure the purchase/ownership of fully automatic weapons are already severely restricted (if not outright banned in some instances). A semi-automatic AR-15 will cycle a round just as quickly (more or less) as a semi-automatic 20 gauge shotgun. Or even a .22 handgun.

In terms of ballistics, the round used in an AR-15 (.223 caliber) is LESS "powerful" than many common semi-auto rifles.

So is the argument an "assault-rife" ONLY a fully automatic rifle? If so, there really isn't any need for stringent rules regarding sale and ownership. Those are already in place.

Or is the argument that all "semi-auto" firearms "assault rifles"? If so, that would have to include most .308 handguns; many 20 gauge shotguns; as well as many common "hunting rifles".

In fact, these two rifles shoot the EXACT same round. Neither is fully automatic.





If we want to talk "gun control" in the wake of a horrible tragedy, that's fine. But let's at least define what one side of the argument wants to ban

Canada already experiences less crime than the US, a lot of that is due to a high level of cultural homogeneity. If this passes, it will work to make their low violent crime rates even lower.

The problem is the US is so incredibly non-homogenous that our media pretty much demands the celebration of any group which deviates from the general norm, the further a group is from that center the more we're pushed to celebrate them. If one of these groups commits a disproportionally large amount of violent crimes though, that is generally ignored and not discussed (because that makes it harder to push the celebration = acceptance narrative).

So if the legislation passes and shows gains in Canada, the Left will clamor for it here, using Canada as their shining example while purposely ignoring that comparing us on this topic is like comparing apples and helicopters.

and all this mass shooting stuff has done nothing like suicides and black on black crime with guns.

but media does not care about that.

does not fit narrative

Just a reminder that school shootings are just an excuse. Even in their absence the left still wants to confiscate your guns.

Before long Canada will be like the UK and having knife buybacks to stop knife violence...
