So if banning assault weapons and magazines has proven to work, and please no stupid comments over weapons vernacular, why does the GOP still favor not doing that which has proven to save American lives?
 
And in other news, trump is ugly. Film at 11. Of course banning certain weapons prevents shootings. C'mon guys.. get real Replicant Taliban!

Because we have a 2nd Amendment, and if you hate the Constitution then I suggest you relocate to a softer country.

Spare us the Second Amendment deflection, again, no Constitutional right is absolute, all are, and have been, regulated, the supposed “right” under the Second Amendment is no different, even Scalia had to admit that fact.

You are just regurgitating the gun manufacturers propaganda

The 2nd Amendment is in your face, all day everyday, asshives. I didn't put it in the Constitution, and neither did the gun manufacturers. We can't maintain a "well regulated militia" with a bunch of deer rifles -- not in this day and age. As long as this country has a government there will need to be a 2nd Amendment.
 
If you banned humans, Anchovies, murders of humans would decrease also.

As Granule said, find a softer country.
 
“Tyranny Prevention: A “Core” Purpose 515 IV. CONCLUSION
No matter what method of interpretation is used, tyranny prevention is a core purpose of the Second Amendment, and this purpose necessitates the protection of military weaponry to that end. The text, as understood by both its authors and the people who ratified it, highlights this purpose by pointing out the necessity of an armed population to the security of a free nation. Pre- and post-ratification history supports the public’s understanding that the Amendment afforded them a protection against overreaching government. Precedent does not foreclose this natural reading. Furthermore, the Amendment serves a fundamental structural role in our federalist, republican system: allocating power to the people themselves by ensuring their ability to enforce their will. Even pragmatic arguments favor a tyranny prevention interpretation, as the harms from tyrannical government greatly exceed the harm caused by mass shootings and gun violence. Finally, this interpretation is embedded in the American identity and is morally sound.
This project comes to a close with the following Ninth Circuit dissent, which ably captures the spirit and tenor of the arguments.”presented:”

How did it stop Columbine, the 1st school shooting in this trend of school shootings at the height of the assault weapons ban, hmm?

They used shotguns and pipe bombs to kill. "Assault weapons" were banned and they still killed as bad or worse.

The Australian assault weapons ban in the 1990s made gun massacres practically a thing of the past.

You need to respond to what his post actually says, not what you wish it said.

The 1994 assault weapons ban reduces mass shootings in the same way seat belt laws reduced automobile deaths.

No one has ever implied it will eliminate 100 percent of gun violence.

Nothing personal, but you know that is nonsensical, first off, no one, not even the Roberts Court, especially Scalia, who love guns, has ever been able to define the prefatory clause, what is meant by “well regulated militia,” and secondly, all the militias everywhere would last fifteen minutes if such an improbable situation occurred

Evoking the Second Amendment is a deflection, it didn’t even appear important in the NRA’s literature as late as the 1970’s, pure gun manufacturers propaganda

Columbine consisted of a failed bomb and two suicide shooters. They had a shitload of weapons, including something called a "carbide rifle" a sawed off shotgun and at least one semi-automatic pistol. That's a lot of firepower for little kids, don't you think? Why don't we at least make them wait until 21? Would that be ok? And if you want to take you kids hunting, call it "their gun" until they are 21, keep it locked in your family safe then give it to them when they're 21, I'd be cool with that.

Yet in 1999 A bad school shooting happened right in the middle of the Assault Weapons ban, and that ban didn't stop any killing that day, chump.

No one ever implied you weren't a ridiculous commie gun grabbing white dog turd, and probably no one ever will.

STFU Millenial. Too bad you didn't grow up like I did, blame leftists for your retardation.

You never knew the freedom of walking down the street with a .22 out to shoot everything that wouldn't hurt anybody.

Cops roll by and wish they were you, because they were you when they were your age.

It was like that for centuries, now leftists/globalists are trying to disarm Americans. That's where we are right now, and if Americans are to keep what freedom they have right now, it cannot be allowed, okay?

I hope you semi-understand.

Dude, I'd walk down the street with a concealed 22 pistol if I thought I needed one. You can too. I'd just kind of love it if we didn't hand little kids killing machines with no questions anymore.

I know.. I'm a fucked up milenail. <---- thanks by the way. I made fun of milenials, too when I was younger!
