I think Automatic guns should be banned , there is no needs for Civilians to keep Automatic Rifles
Automatic guns are banned and completely illegal. Semi automatic guns are legal so you can only shoot as fast as you can pull the trigger. So the issue becomes the magazine and how many rounds you can actually get off. If you've fired semis and are used to them, you can fire 3 30-round clips in under a minute with a semi auto AR-15. But if it was a fully automatic and you knew how to handle it, you could fire off 500+ rounds in less than a minute. That's the difference between what's legal and what's not legal in the US.
Hence the problem with these AR-15s because they aren't hunting rifles where you have 6 rounds. With these you can have countless 30-round mags which is part of the problem. AR-15s are not for hunting but for self defense, protecting your family and home (which you can easily and better off do with a handgun) or going to the range and firing at a target for fun.
There's a huge difference between this 308 Browning...
...and the AR-15...
...because the next step up from the AR-15 is the exact same thing in the M4 which guess who uses that?
What do you expect from a nation who just loves a sport as violent as Football Américain???
Ah come on. Even if you said MMA I wouldn't agree with you, but American football? That's a classic sport that's been around since 1869.
Good. Cuz they're like dumpsters of humanity. Especially Detroit. Many such areas resemble any under developed African country.
Doesn't mean the rest of the country is a hellhole, quite the opposite. Every country has it's crappy and violent cities the US is no exception and shouldn't be.
No one feels safe in US, with more guns than people, everyone can be a potential mass shooter.
Ah come on. Not true at all.
I know an individual without a felony criminal record can get an AR-15 or any firearm.
How on earth a civilian gets a smoke grenade ?
This guy had smoke grenade with face musk.
And this is the problem. The type of rifle is an issue (which I have a problem with also since I wouldn't want anyone to tell me I can't have mine because of this twister loser jerk,) but how do we keep them out of the hands of such evil and sadistic idiots who can also get them legally, and also get smoke grenades through online sources and at gun shows or through shady friends who got them from some "warehouse" and were looking to make a buck and didn't care who they were selling them to etc. That's the problem.
Guns are not the problems, the country is just a sh!thole
Nah come on.
Actually, it is the gun that is the problem. If they ban firearms, these genocide won't happen. At least, not as fatal as what happen there.
So is it the guns? Or is it the people who shoot the guns? You know the old saying, "guns don't kill people, people kill people."
RIP. Americans should take care of these White Nationalists before blaming other countries for their faults.
They did mention that he had some connection with a white nationalist group. We'll find out more in the next few weeks.
Every time I hear such news I cant stop wondering why it happens in the US???
Indeed. There's definitely a problem and there has been one for quite a while. These horrifying mass shootings really began during the Bill Clinton years.
One of us might have. But probably has been very conveniently labelled as a terrorist to avoid discussing the actual problem.
You should hear what London police tells you when you report a racial abuse. "Are you sure you want us to lodge the complaint because a lot of people back out after they initially report the incident."
How encouraging.
You bring up an interesting point because this is exactly how they're thinking this problem needs to be addressed. The medical community through all sorts of public service, the educational system and even the clergy through law enforcement would be connected in a way where signs of potentially dangerous people would be identified and reached out to before they commit these crimes. They're also talking about creating a hotline where you can report things and people of concern that would get addressed before they reach these devastating levels. The problem with all of that is the possible abuse of these reach-outs and also how they would infringe of people's civil rights etc. This is no easy problem to solve in a country like the US. For every law that is created to protect the people, there's another law that it could easily infringe on and so it's a very difficult balance to achieve. Not to mention the people who would vote in these laws and how divided they would be.
And think about some other countries with high gun ownership rates, like Sweden, Canada and Switzerland. In Switzerland they have assault rifles everywhere, but mass shootings are extremely rare.
And Canada is not that far from here, lol. As a matter of fact, it's about a 5 hour drive from where I am. So why do they have it right and we don't? Canadians are very nice people I know that and that good-natured persona most certainly has something to do with it.
