If there was a referendum to ban AR-15’s, how would you vote?

@OwnerOfMany I want told that it would only cause injuries and wouldn’t kill anyone unless you’re skilled. But I look at the bullet and I think it’ll definitely kill me.

@SimplyTracie That is one of the smallest bullets ever used in war. It was designed mainly to wound because if you wound a soldier it takes 1 or 2 more to take care of him, pick him up and tend his wound. That takes 2 or 3 out of the battle instead of 1 kill.

@OwnerOfMany Plus just wounding a person is way more tormenting. You know what I mean?

@SimplyTracie Better than you know, I have been shot on more than one occasion so you must pardon me if I want to shoot back. I would rather suffer a while than die.

@OwnerOfMany Oh I’m 100% against wars too. Just saying. My brother served in Iraq too and I know about the horrors. I’m glad he wasn’t shot. Thank God.

@SimplyTracie You can thank your brother for me for his service and I am glad he made it out in one piece as well.

@OwnerOfMany Thank you. 🤗

@SimplyTracie You are quite welcome.
Give this a little thought. Your brother among many others risked his life to protect the very rights they are trying to take away. Is it right that they can shove a machine gun in his hands and drop him in a meat grinder to defend "THEM" and then tell him he can't have a rifle to protect himself when he gets home? No...it is not.
I need to run...thanks for a civil debate. You take care.

@OwnerOfMany Microbes aren't even visible to the human eye. We still don't allow biological warfare.

Bullets aren't inherently evil, but we've got a gun problem and until we figure it out we can easily stop the bleeding.

@Graylight We don't have a gun problem, we have a people problem. As for easily stopping the bleeding, you are wrong. Any legislation anyone can come up with will not stop it. Confiscation will not stop it. Everybody is looking at the AR15 as if "it" is the root of the problem. It isn't. All rifles count for less than 4% of shootings and the AR15 is only one of countless rifles. Handguns kill far more people every year.
The problem with banning or buying back the AR15s is it won't work so THEN they will ban the handguns, then all others. IF they ban any or all, the criminals will have plenty and WE will be left defenseless. Not to mention the second amendment which gives us the right to defend ourselves against an overreaching government.
I could go on but it would be pointless. The gun is a tool the person is the problem. Believe me, if you are ever in a "gun free zone" and a shooter comes in, you will wish you WERE armed.

@OwnerOfMany I don't mean to imply the AR-15 is the problem. It's just the darling of the anti-gun lobby.

Gun confiscation - and to be clear, that's not what I support - does work. It has worked in other countries. Societal bans on firearms work. They work very well in other countries.

I think the US is unique in its gun culture, and that's an issue that has to be addressed if people are to stop dying, but in the meantime, it's the guns doing the shooting. Lose them and you lower deaths.

@Graylight You and I strongly disagree. Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin, Mao, and the list goes on. Those are only cases of mass murder of unarmed populations and please don't be foolish enough to think it can't happen again.
Also, if you find accurate statistics, which is difficult, confiscation has not worked in other countries as well as advertised. To coin a phrase, been there, seen that.
Again, it is the people, not the guns, and if they can't get a gun they will only resort to something else be it bombing, incinerating, or stabbing.
Gun confiscation, banning, buy backs, won't work in the US. You will only leave innocent people unable to defend themselves.
I truly wish you could see what I have seen and look at what is currently happening through my eyes.

@OwnerOfMany And I, you. What we've seen and lived through helps shape what we are and what we believe. So I defer to the SCOTUS and good judgment. That's all we can do.
