State Farm accused of pushing LGBTQ+ books on kids, Consumer group launches ‘Like a Creepy Neighbor'

Assault rifles are awkward at close range. Most of these shootings are done with semiautomatic pistols with large magazines and multiple clips.

Seems like a lot of them are with assault rifles.

No one likes to see children lose their lives. Not over anything. But suggesting "assault" rifles (totally bullshit terminology, by the way, driven for narrative purposes) are the problem is disingenuous.

Kids die every month from gun violence in Chicago and other largely democrat run cities. Not by assault rifles, either.\

IF "assault" rifles are not for assault then what are they good for if they are not a good defense in a close range?

Interesting website.

They're for the battlefield at ranges of hundreds of meters.

So get rid of the large magazines and multiple clips?

Yes, and why then does the average person need one of these?

It's an idea.

For some reason I thought they were already working on the large magazine idea.

There is no such thing as an assault rifle.

Rifles are either short (carbines) or long (main battle guns, hunting rifles etc).

The government cannot even define what they are proposing to ban.

Uh.. sorry for off topic.

You can get rid of them, but they can be easily 3D printed now. And how would you "get rid" of them anyway?

Not to mention that I can take two 10 round magazines, tape them upside down each other and swap out to 20 round availability in less than 2 seconds.

You definitely have a point there. Getting rid of all the magazines would be most likely, an impossible task.
