Lol. An editorial from some random that has "Second Amendment" in the tags. I'm sure he's right despite much evidence to the contrary.Ag with kids said:Assault weapon bans don't workAggieArchitect04 said:Oh ****, you're totally right. Mass shootings have gone done dramatically since it expired in 2004.Teslag said:Reinstate the assault weapons ban that was in effect in 1999 when 15 kids died and 24 were injured at Columbine High School? That ban?AggieArchitect04 said:There's tons of things that could happen.agracer said:And yet you've proposed no solutions to "kids dying in schools".Know Your Enemy said:I'm not in favor of that in the least but just keep pushing that false narrative while kids are dying in school.agracer said:Know Your Enemy said:The problem is that nothing is being done to prevent further school shootings. Sure they CAN do more than one thing at a time but they aren't. And blocking kids from PornHub is great but that isn't going to do a thing to keep kids from seeing porn online. There are millions of other options.Ragnar Danneskjoldd said:Just logical fallacy after logical fallacy from you. Does passing a law for firefighters pensions mean they also cant pass legislation dealing with school shooting? They're not mutually exclusive and are addressing different issues.Know Your Enemy said:
You're right, my bad. Since murder is already illegal we have done more than enough to make children safe in schools.
Just say it out loud. Ban all guns. Until then nothing else should be passed by any legislative body in the US.
Some off the top of my head...
- reinstate the assault weapons ban
Columbine was an outlier. 15 deaths. Next highest death toll from a school shooting during the ban period was 5 from the 1998 Westside Middle School shooting in Craighead County, Arkansas.
Number of mass shootings at schools during assault weapons ban: 1
Number of mass shootings at schools since assault weapons ban: ???? (and counting)

So...basically, they only punish law abiding citizens while not achieving their stated goal. Thanks for the totalitarianism...
"Federal Government's Study"...the same government that gets it's money from gun lobbyists?
Who did the study, the NRA?
