You cant even admit your wrong AFTER you agree with someone that countered you with facts! You just redirect with another asinine question.
lefties....ugh
no, not even close. I know 86 was the cutoff that is the "compromise" made with the hardcore at the time to get something passed to make the world a safer place at the time.
If the facts are so CLEAR and COMPELLING they make us safer why can't we make them anymore?
I'll answer for you because it is BULLSHIT!
Gun laws regarding automatic weapons only make it difficult for law-abiding citizens to own one. A recent bust in San Diego uncovered over 200 Tech-9's that had been converted to full-auto for use by criminal gangs. There are thousands of full-auto weapons on the streets being used by criminals all across the country. Criminals don't obey the law. They still have their automatic weapons.
Do laws restricting access to automatic weapons stop criminals from getting them? No. Only law-abiding citizens are restricted. Disarming law-abiding citizens does not make anyone safe.
You're the one who started this thread and titled it: "BAN semi-automatic weapons." Your words, not mine. So I'll ask you again, please provide proof that banning semi-automatic weapons will reduce crime.
like a hacker i was trying to find a backdoor in your argument to get a foothold..
but i'll come right at ya..
I'm not trying to be funny or clever or moralistic here but simply raise the PRAGMATIC question..are BANS on weapons necessary and which ones?
I couldn't remember exactly why myself. But it was very easy to look it up. I remember the controversy at the time. Many people were very angry about the ban being "slipped in" the bill in the "middle of the night."

BTW: Many rational states allow legal transfer and ownership of Class 3 weapons and even (gasp) the concealed carry and legal use of semi-automatic weapons for those who have demonstrated the ability to live their lives responsibly. I'm thankful to live in one of them.

i was wrong about what?
Obviously, many (if not MOST) weapons need to be inaccessible to the general populace for public safety concerns.
My question to you is which would YOU ban, and why?
====================
Good shot & good sign.
O-poster may have watched CBS news[Rather biased] too much;
headline does not tell the truth ,
the Solomon writer detailed the truth .
Actually the Fed gov doesnt fully ban [full] automatics;
but notice what happens on thier high tax on full autos=not much tax revenue there at all.
President Kennedy/Reagan were right to cut income taxes.
Its a fair question, however ''ban semiautos?'', so ;
no.
