An assault rifle is a SEMI/FULLY AUTOMATIC rifle solely designed for military use in combat.

Examples of modern sporting civilian SEMI automatic rifles are the AR-15, AR-10, and any CIVILIAN rifles based off the military variant that can only fire in SEMI automatic, some notable examples are the SIG MCX-SPEAR, AK-47, FN SCAR 17S. A couple examples of weapons of war that are NOT being banned even tho they are “Trying” to ban “weapons of war” the 1911, M1 garand, and allot of other semi automatic rifles, revolvers, shotguns, and bolt action rifles designed for the military during and before WWII. These LITERAL weapons of war are ok in their eyes but guns that were designed solely for civilian use are bad.

GOOGLE it. Don't let people spoon feed you. Think whatever you want. Just do it critically and with genuine intellectual honesty. The 5 Steps to Critical Thinking: What is critical thinking? In general, critical thinking refers to actively questioning statements rather than blindly accepting them. Critical thinking results in radical free will. 1. The critical thinker is flexible yet maintains an attitude of healthy skepticism. Critical thinkers are open to new information, ideas, and claims. They genuinely consider alternative explanations and possibilities. However, this open-mindedness is tempered by a healthy sense of skepticism (Hyman, 2007). The critical thinker consistently asks, “What evidence supports this claim?” 2. The critical thinker scrutinizes the evidence before drawing conclusions. Critical thinkers strive to weigh all the available evidence before arriving at conclusions. In evaluating evidence, critical thinkers distinguish between empirical evidence versus opinions based on feelings or personal experience. 3. The critical thinker can assume other perspectives. Critical thinkers are not imprisoned by their own points of view. Nor are they limited in their capacity to imagine life experiences and perspectives that are fundamentally different from their own. Rather, the critical thinker strives to understand and evaluate issues from many different angles. 4. The critical thinker is aware of biases and assumptions. In evaluating evidence and ideas, critical thinkers strive to identify the biases and assumptions that are inherent in any argument (Riggio & Halpern, 2006). Critical thinkers also try to identify and minimize the influence of their own biases. 5. The critical thinker engages in reflective thinking. Critical thinkers avoid knee-jerk responses. Instead, critical thinkers are reflective. Most complex issues are unlikely to have a simple solution. Therefore, critical thinkers resist the temptation to sidestep complexity by boiling an issue down to an either/or, yes/no kind of proposition. Instead, the critical thinker expects and accepts complexity (Halpern, 2007). Critical thinking is not a single skill, but rather a set of attitudes and thinking skills. As is true with any set of skills, you can get better at these skills with practice. In a nut shell, critical thinking is the active process of minimizing preconceptions and biases while evaluating evidence, determining the conclusions that can be reasonably be drawn from evidence, and considering alternative explanations for research findings or other phenomena. CRITICAL THINKING QUESTIONS >Why might other people want to discourage you from critical thinking? >In what situations is it probably most difficult or challenging for you to exercise critical thinking skills? Why? > What can you do or say to encourage others to use critical thinking in evaluating questionable claims or assertions?

But I do agree that mental illness needs to be heavily addressed and action needs to be taken. So much evil and violence in this world today. And it seemed to just start booking in this last decade. There should never be a time when the talk of banning guns should be a thing, but certainly now is NOT the time to even think about it. Banning some of the best self defense tools in a time where violence is everywhere is like banning water when a house is on fire because some people drown in it.

My first contention is that all arms control is tyrannical. For this we would discuss the history of rights. Talk about true rights which are negative/natural rights and why positive rights aren't actual rights. Then we would get into what the Bill of Rights is, the intent, and some compromises made for those who didn't want a Bill of Rights. Next the wording, meaning, and intent of 2A with clear definitions of key terms and a discussion on the prefatory and operative clauses. We would then have to dive into some general reasoning and history of military models and tyranny along with more modern democide. We would talk about surpreme court rulings and what they mean. My second contention is that arms control has never been shown to reduce crime anywhere in the world in any time period. (Nor can you even use this sort of "interest balancing" to legally defend arms control") This is where we would jump into a general discussion on data analysis and clear up some defintions, concerns with datasets, and a discussion of what issues arise when trying to compare data between locations over time. Of course we could dive deeper into all kinds of pertinent topics. I can speak to these topics from many perspectives. Data analysis, history of tyranny, liberty and rights, trauma medicine and wounding mechanisms, ballistics, weapons design, criminal tactics and trends, self defense and force disparity, first responder protocols, training and stress inoculation, cover vs concealment, etc.

Keeping them around in case of distopian chaos is not solving the problem either although I can understand how some people are scared. Canada, the UK and Middle East have problems too, but not to the extent of the US and you really can't compare them. Guns are just so damn easy. And the firearms lobby/manufacturers are just laughing and laughing. And the US people ... are suffering.

If as much money was spent on lobbying to prevent a dystopia and failure of systems and society as for access to arms you would not have to worry about a weird apocalyptic hypothetical. Chances are though in your hypothetically you won't do anything. Because even if you had an AR if the other guy does too the smart move to get your food is to wait until you are asleep and just shoot through the walls and kill you before you can wake up and grab your gun. Also likely that someones already set up as a war lord and they out number you anyway. Unless you've teamed up with neighbors and raided the military armory first and someone is good at defense you will probably be in a bad position for winning.

I am also very worried about the influence of NRA in Canada, where the large majority would prefer to see gun laws as in NZ, AUS, UK. I have to say that UK firearm homicide statistics amaze me. Despite Canada’s being the neighbour of USA, our shared history and traditions with UK, NZ, AUS give me hope.

​@@genericdude6551 You haven't travelled, have you? Americans in cities have third world level of living. Relying on welfare doesn't help.

extra attachments don't change the bullet caliber or rate of fire. Things like a removable mag, adjustable stock, pistol grips, rails, etc. are there to customize and make the tool easier to use. But the guts of the gun are the same. My ar10 rifle is internally no different from a 20 year old 306 hunting rifle. And in a worse case scenario my gun being easier to use and load could save my life.

Categories are arbitrarily selected combinations of traits that facilitate easier communication by providing a shorter way to communicate that the subject in question likely has a handful of traits. Skyscraper, building, hut. Are all categories that communicate whole sets of shared traits. But there are other ways we could have categorized these things. Such as workplace, community center, home. The way the categories are defined are arbitrary but socially agreed upon. A woman is a category of human being as is a man. People are currently disagreeing on what traits are required to be put in the women category. However, as human beings women and men are legally equal. They are subject to the same laws, rights, and prohibitions. So when it comes to the definition of that category, frankly, I don't give a d*n. We can switch to 5 genders like some other ancient cultures for all I care and it wouldn't change the fact that everyone should be treated with respect, dignity, and allowed their freedom under the law. Asides from being equal in law most everyone is equally dealdy when armed with ranged weapons too. An assault style rifle is rifles that can be rapidly fired (automatic or semi automatic) and has its design promoted to adults and as a tool for self defense and machismo due to how closely it resembles the weapons our soldiers use (some are actually just a semi auto version of the ones in current use by the military). I hope me feeding you has made you feel a bit of joy. Just remember even if you are a troll, you have worth as a human being. I suppose you could also be a bot, in which case... bad bot. 😊

I'm leaning towards the left too but sadly that stuff won't work as much as you would like it to

I’m kinda in the middle I’m very pro gun as it’s an individual right given to us by our constitution and I don’t believe in capital punishment, but I’m also against banning books and saying gay and all that shit. Both sides are against freedom

@@alexmaurice4274 Well I'm gonna hit you with a hard truth. Freedom is an illusion. You have to go to work or you lose your home. You can't murder someone. You can't speed. You can't yell "FIRE!" in a crowded theater. We have laws on top of laws on top of laws. With that said, there is a massive gun death problem in this country that isn't anywhere in the stratusphere in most other developed nations. The US has more guns than all other nations combined. It's clear that more guns isn't the answer. We know that less works because of the assault weapons ban in the 90's that reduced gun violence noticeably.

⁠​⁠@@alexmaurice4274The true middle is a good balance of freedom and order. Complete freedom is chaos. We can easily determine a good balance by understanding that the objective in life is survival. This is the way this dimension operates. Guns are a means of protection. It allows people to survive from potential attacks. This is why even prey animals have natural «weapons» like claws, horns, antlers, venom ... etc .. to protect themselves from predators. If an individual has committed multiple murders and shows no signs of stopping, they are a threat to society. They should be eliminated. The books in question are books designed to confuse the sexuality of the younger generation. By doing so, we potentially create a scenario in which these future generations do not procreate, threatening the survival of our species. That’s why they should be banned.

I'm glad to see that somebody posting in here knows what they're talking about.

What purpose for assault weapons - these are ok for troops not for citizens on the street. Ban all assault weapons now. How would those Repug & NRA members like their families getting gunned down. Also, they should remain alive and have to deal with that THEY are the cause of their families getting murdered, on the streets in stores, in their schools!!!

@@genericdude6551 The other benefit to this is the Republicans can’t say it’s a “Ban”. When the NFA was introduced, it was because police officers were losing their lives, because they were outgunned. Now kids are losing their lives at schools. It only makes sense that we would add these items to the NFA.

Assault rifles are already NFA items idiot.

Majority of gun crimes are done with pistols. Not rifles.

no 😂

@@Tylerd838 Do you practice being an idiot or is it a natural talent?

Echaust!

@Aig Fish, it is NOT tough; first, AR-15 does not belong on American streets; second, Gun license.

Why not make it mandatory to store automatic weapons at the shooting range, and check them out when you have the urge to fire them at the range only, so you're already in an appropriate and safe environment, and not where emotions can get the best of people and there is no impediment to mass shooting?

These are semi-automatic weapons, not automatic weapons though.

Most of that is already being done. Those that don't have children won't see the necessity of locking their guns up. Technically when they lock their doors the gun is already locked up.

​@@genericdude6551 I mean a lot of people get shot by their own gun, have a crisis when drunk, or accidentally shoot a friend or loved one, or an intruder or person they know comes in and shoots them with their own gun. I am reminded of the shoot out in Florida those foster kids had with the police after breaking into a random house and finding guns unsecured on the table.

Yes it is irresponsible to have a gun

Yep. Fatherless homes are the primary cause. But we can't talk about that 🤫

@@88Expertso millions of Americans are irresponsible because the big scary guns

You have to give up your assault weapons. You don't get a say in that. You simply don't need one and you don't have any valid reason for one. You get a handgun for castle doctrine and a bolt action hunting rifle for hunting, maybe a hunting shotgun with slug rounds. Outside of that, the 2nd amendment means fuck all. Outdated relic from a bygone era. The obsession conservatives have with their guns is largely a new invention.

​@@ThunderTheBlackShadowKittyYou don't get to decide anything you illiterate foreigner. Mind your business and get an education.

knives, guns (that they manufactured) , cars , bombs, machete etc.. .there is no shortages of ingenuity to hurt each other. guns are a 800 year old tech ... you can make one with a file and a drill press. (and that is not even a crude one)

@@romeoneverdies 100%

@@romeoneverdies The Kill Dozer is a good example of this, if anyone reading this doesn't know what that is I highly recommend watching a video on it, the whole situation was extremely wild and a little saddening. A testament to what happens when someone is pushed too far and has nothing left to lose.

You would have to take the Japanese route of having weapons in the proper cases like the Martial Arts weapons or the Baseball/softball bats when not playing or in practice facilites in public and banning all knives over 1 inch 2.25 cm in public. Aslo, they have had since the 2000's as well a ban on all metal spikes in baseball/softball cleats and track spikes have to be removed when in public. Then Bows they only allow up to 30 or 35 pounds at 30 inch draw for the Yumi or target archery bows depending on where they live the District, prefecture with only a select few able to make the higher poundage Yumi bows with only a few people besides those who make the bows allowed to use such high poundage bows.

That's not true. Most would resort to a fistfight. The difference between a knife, fist and gun can only be experienced in the heat of combat. You will quickly realize it's not the same thing.

Just like we use for cars

That won't stop criminals and the mentally ill. Another useless suggestion.

@@genericdude6551 I guess we should test everyone who wants to own a firearm. Those tests would show whether or not they are mentally healthy enough.

@@aidanyelsma7762 If that's what gets mandated then let the taxpayers pay for the evaluation and lets see how well that goes over. Why should I pay for it.

@@genericdude6551 we could always take away billionaire tax breaks and use that money to pay for it. We could take away NRA tax breaks and use that money to pay for it. We could take some military funding and use that to pay for it. It doesn’t have to be free. I don’t trust myself with a gun, so I’m never going to try to get a license. You could make private citizens pay for it if they want it.

then you haven't done any research. Define assault weapon and guess how many gun deaths/violence occur per year.
