14 Mass Shootings in the USA Over Memorial Day Weekend

If banning AR15’s would drop the number of gun deaths in the US by 25%, would you be willing to give up your AR15?

It won't though. All rifles account for 2.6% of all gun deaths in the US in 2019.

Want to show your math on this "25%" because that would be entertaining.

Actually, after banning weapons like the AR15 in 1994, deaths from gun massacres fell 47% over the next 10 years.

After the ban ended in 2004, deaths from guns massacres rose over 330% in the next 10 years.

Also: Did President Trump give some sort of address yesterday? I haven't seen you this triggered since his election victory in 2016.

The entire world stayed indoors for 2.5 years. Everything was closed, remember? So yeah, staying in was pretty easy.

I don’t own a gun because I have no need for one. Zero interest in a gun. I like the fact I have the right to have one and I appreciate that, but AR15’s shouldn’t be in the hands of regular citizens. Anyone who believes they need an AR15 or it’s necessary for whatever the fuck is the delusional.

Also, the 2nd amendment needs to be amended. Nothing well regulated about the current situation.

Exactly... you would need a new Constitutional amendment if you want to infringe on the right to bear arms in this country.

Good luck with that.

Huge changes could be made if a supreme court case overturns the precedent set out in the Heller case.

The 2nd amendment to the Constitution is crystal clear. It has protected the right to bear arms for citizens of this country for over 240 years.

If you want to ban guns, then it will take a Constitutional Amendment to do it.

Good luck with that.

New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. vs Bruen

This decision is expected to drop any day now. It’s likely to be a broad decision in favor of 2A that will finally eliminate the infringement of ‘may-issue’ carry states. Brace yourself leftists.

Your argument is ridiculous since rifles of any kind not just AR-15's only comprise 364 deaths a year, that was for 2020, the most current year I could quickly find, and that included suicides; and total firearm related deaths were 10258, so how will getting rid of 364, bring about a 25% reduction in firearm related deaths, your math does not work. I am just a dumb hick from the south but by my limited reckoning rifles make up about 3.5% of firearm related deaths, so how does 25 equal 3.5, is that some sort of new math?

The problem I have with people who want to limit firearms is how disingenuous and uninformed they are. If you really wanted to make a dent in the deaths then you would be going after pistols, they comprise the lions share of gun related deaths in this country, but no one ever talks about banning pistols, I wonder why? Not that it would matter, crazy people will find a way to hurt other people if they want to. A Colt Python with speed loaders and a Remington 870 and a person could do way more damage than someone with an AR-15 in a school. It is not the tools fault if a person does not properly use it.

Well he's never going to show his math with comments like that.

Thanks alot.

Except it's not. Before Heller there were gun bans that stood. A supreme court decision could easily make gun bans legal again.
