Do u believe that all assault weapons should be banned in the US ? 🔫

@Pherick Not true. Lots of guns are designed for sporting purposes and would make shitty weapons against peoples.

@MethDozer well guns overall are pretty good weapons against us soft squishy peoples. I would agree though that a "normal" hunting rifle can be good for hunting. Though I would then argue, that with the addition of military-style accessories and different ammo, it becomes good at killing alot of people quickly.

@Pherick So are axes and kitchen knives. Just sayin'.

What's a "normal" hunting rifle though? Not trying to be a dick just curious how non-shooters and hunter define these things.

@MethDozer Axes and kitchen knives are quite good weapons, and in an one-on-one situation they can be quite deadly, but in a "mass shooting" situation, not that effective.

For example, 4 years a ago, one kid, 2 knives and 22 stabbed, but all survived.

I am not saying that all knife attacks end like that, but I also don't think we should hand out kitchen knives to our soldiers instead of guns. Which would be perfectly reasonable is the whole "knives are as deadly as guns" argument made any real sense.

To me, a hunting weapon is limited rounds per reload, not streamlined for reloading, and can only use ammo that isn't mean to pierce body armor. I am not a hunter, but I am guessing most hunters don't want ammo that blows huge chunks out of their targets?

@Pherick That's not what I was saying, what I meant by the kitchen knives and axes is you say firearms are all assault weapons because they are all designed for nothing but assault. Which is crap like saying all knives are for nothing but assault.

See this is the thing. People with big stances on them that don't know one thing about them. Any gun can fire an armor piercing round. If you make an armour piercing round in the caliber.
Just be pedantic, hunters wouldn't choose an armour piercing round not because it would blow away huge chunks of meat, but because they make to small a whole in soft tissue and wouldn't drop an animal as quickly and effectively. Don't worry, armour piercing ammo isn't available in handguns to the public anyway.

@MethDozer Knives and axes have a purpose that is not killing. They obviously have another main use. Guns have no other purpose other than to kill.

Funny how politicians have ALOT of big stances on things they don't really know anything about ...

@Pherick That's the thing, they are just as varied and many are designed for sporting purposes.

It's not funny, it's freaking sad how many have big stances on things they know nothing about.
