Do you have any experience with firearms?
If you explain how that is relevant to the issue being discussed, I'll answer the question.
You have posted multiple times about AR15s. You brought it into the thread / discussion.

I guess a lot of folks must've really gotten an adrenaline rush, hearing reports that this shooter may have been transgender! Okay, even better, they could've been an SBG*, but this is probably the next best thing!

Good question. No, Dems are p@ussies and are never going to rifle up. Under Obama and Biden, the wingnuts loaded up for door to door urban combat as well as guerrilla insurgency in the countryside in case those Administrations passed laws forcing them to kiss a g@d d@mned tr@nny or wear their pants too low.
Trump now faces the danger of p@issing off these militia sh@it kickers because someday they are going to figure out Trump was just funn'in them about relatin' to them and that he actually had contempt for them all along. If there are enough of them like MTG and some of the MAGA folks screaming at their representatives at town hall meetings, Trump may regret all that weaponry they are sitting on. Dr. Frankenstein's monster turned on him, you know.

Dems are ******* because they don't even believe their own bull****. Our democracy is at stake! The fascists are going to end elections! There will be martial law!
Hey, we need more gun control!
Trump's no fascist and doesnt even need to be. He has no opposition to worry about.
I've warned about the pre-crime push to "stop mass shootings before they happen" for years, especially during the first Trump administration.

My perspective: guns are not going away so we have to look elsewhere to eliminate these tragedies. I'm convinced there's a mental health component to this, very likely tied to social media. If there are subsets of society that are at greater risk then we can introduce safeguards. There are other subsets that could be looked at similarly.
Nope. AR15s are semi-Auto .223 rifles that look like M4 military rifles. That means one bullet for each trigger pull. The military rifles have burst mode, which is fully auto - 3 rounds discharge with one trigger pull. I think the military rifles have a very slightly different caliber too.OsoDorado said:tequila4kapp said:

AR-15s are not "guns". They are weapons of war.

This line of discussion will either show we share common ground or that we don't have a lot to talk about:
Measures frequently opposed by Republicans:
Universal background checks: For years, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act (H.R. 8), which would require background checks for all gun sales and transfers, has been passed by the House but blocked in the Senate by Republicans. The NRA and Republican supporters argue that expanded background checks primarily affect law-abiding citizens and would be ineffective at stopping criminals.
Your thoughts:
Bans on assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines: Democrats and advocates have repeatedly called for the reinstatement of the federal assault weapons ban, which expired in 2004, and a ban on magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. While most Democrats favor these bans, majorities of Republicans oppose them. Bills to reinstate the ban have passed the House but stalled in the Senate due to Republican opposition.
Your thoughts:
"Red flag" laws: These laws, also known as Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs), allow law enforcement to temporarily remove firearms from individuals deemed a danger to themselves or others. Republicans have generally opposed federal red flag legislation, with critics citing concerns that the policies may strip due process from gun owners.
Your thoughts:
Bans on bump stocks: In June 2024, Senate Republicans blocked a bill to ban bump stocks, which was introduced after the Supreme Court overturned a Trump-era administrative ban. Republicans argued that a ban would affect law-abiding citizens and that the Supreme Court's ruling should stand.
Your thoughts:
Closing loopholes in background check laws: Republicans have frequently blocked legislation aimed at closing specific loopholes:
The "Charleston Loophole": This loophole allows a gun sale to proceed if a background check isn't completed within three business days. A 2021 bill to close it passed the House but was blocked in the Senate by Republicans.
Your thoughts:
"Ghost guns": Republicans have voted against legislation aimed at cracking down on the sale of untraceable, self-assembled firearms.
Your thoughts:
Restricting gun access for those with specific dangerous histories: Republican-led efforts have blocked legislation to prohibit firearm access for people on the federal terrorism watch list ("No Fly, No Buy") and for individuals with temporary restraining orders for domestic violence.
Your thoughts:
Increased accountability for gun dealers and manufacturers:
Republicans have added policy riders to spending bills that block funding for the implementation of rules aimed at cracking down on gun dealers who commit violations.
Efforts to repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), which grants gun manufacturers broad immunity from liability, have also been blocked.

1. Kids / young adults on social media / gaming 24 / 7
2. Widespread / early use of marijuana
3. Widespread use of prescription meds for youths
4. Growing numbers of children w no Father's in the home
5. Lack of belief / moral code
6. Over 60% of youth can't pass basic proficiency tests in Math and English
FWIW, Poland, which was recently a poor country, has 99% literacy.
