Ubiq
You already know my answer
I have repeatedly stated (and this applies to midwests list) that our only point of contention is the effectiveness of an ar ban
Everything else is reasonable. Age limits, mandatory safety training etc.
As I have now stated repeatedly my problem is that since it is so easy to circumvent the definition of an assault rifle by slightly altering an equally lethal rifle, then what is the point.
There should be research that should be able to prove it.
For instance. did the restrictions on sawed off shotguns curtail bank robberies as expected? Did the nj ban on m1 carbines restrict gang violence? Or did they just switch weapons
Personally I have no problem with a 10 year attempt/study into the issue. Let’s ban ar/ak sales for 10 years and see what happens. As long as the laws don’t turn existing law abiding citizens into felons (as the ny law did)
But what happens if I’m right? That the mass shootings continue with existing ar’s or equivalent but legal rifles? Then we ban all semi auto’s? All handguns? I personally believe at some point gun owners will push back.
