"Only certain types" is a biased poll option OP. You're implanting an idea into our head based on a yes or no question.

No. Also, only certain types of guns are allowed.

"Ignorance is a plague."

Close, but the plague killed those infected with it, and the ignorant are still alive.
I wish ignorance was a plague.

Assault weapons don't exist.

For all questions with answers unknown to you, the proper procedure is to assume the answer is peanut butter.

While that may be true, I'm just going to pretend otherwise.

People that want to change gun laws need to read and understand what laws are already in place and statistics for gun crime.

Firstly, assault rifles are few and far between. Assault rifles have to have select-fire capabilities. Civilian AR and AK variants lack this. A real assault rifle requires a tax stamp from the ATF (which requires months of checks and processing), a select-fire transferable receiver made and registered before May 1986, and a ton of money.

Secondly, most crimes are committed with illegally purchased handguns. Handguns require you to be 21 y/o to own one, and a license to carry them. How difficult or easy the license is to obtain varies state to state.

Rifles and shotguns that are over 29" in length, with a barrel over 16" in length can be purchased after the age of 18. Weapons with barrels or overall lengths shorter than the aforementioned require a tax stamp from the ATF, which takes months to process.

A background check is required anytime you purchase firearm from a an FFL. A bill of sale should be made for all private sales. Criminals cannot legally purchase a firearm. They get them through illegal channels, such as the black market or stealing them.

Our laws are not the problem. The amount of ignorance and bad people are the problem. Banning something has never worked in the US. All it does is create a high demand with no supply, except through illegal means that only serve to make criminals rich.

Most kids in this community have grown up playing FPS games and have a weird gun fetish, so you're not going to get a very unbiased poll.

Or we appreciate brilliant feats of engineering.

Fun fact: There are over 260,000,000 guns legally owned by over 50,000,000 gun owners in the United States that are not using their guns to kill people.

Call me Rdog, not RdOG or RdOG1507. I made that username when I thought it was cool to use alternating capital and lowercase letters...

I feel like this is a political discussion.

I'm tired of seeing threads about gun control. My goodness, this thread has been done over and over and over and over in the past couple weeks or so.

So then they should be happy to sacrifice their guns to prevent over 30,000 annual deaths in their country.
