Are we ever going to take effective action to keep these weapons out of the hands of mentally insane people.
There is no such thing as an 'assault weapon'.
Unconstitutional.

Either people stop making them or people stop buying them .
The drivers are capitalism and fear.
how do you plan on doing that without interfering with the rights of all others?
I'd say it is the rights of others that is important, the "unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" and not having to worry or concerned with getting gunned down by a semi automatic weapon in just going to the shopping center, school, spa, church, grocery story, concert, mall, senior center, parking lot, nightclub, etc
The same way we don’t allow them to have nukes, for example.
The same way it’s against the law to share classified information even though we have freedom of speech.
This is correct. It's called an extreme argument fallacy.Comparing small arms to nukes is silly.
You need to understand the context…. He believes all Americans have an absolute right to any “arms” including nuclear ones. He believes the rights are absolute, even for mass murderers.
Common sense is somewhere in the middle of the extremes.
Poor anchovies,
Not at all, rather prefer the US didn't resemble a Middle East country with every citizen walking around with a semi automatic weapon swung over their shoulder, can see no value in living in John Wayne movie
They are for the right of self defense. There is no right to murder, though.
Correct, is this “absolute” right one we can take away from some people?
And pink unicorns will dance in the trees.
This is correct. It's called an extreme argument fallacy.

It's called a "strawman," as in that Commie goon MLK's speech claiming that those who resent Aframs' inferior behavior are really only judging them by the color of their skin. No Conservative has called out that as a strawman, so their richkid race-treason is the same as the Preppy Progressives' obvious one.
