The point is to show by contradiction that "assault weapons" regulations are not based in any systematic or factual threat assessment. There are better arguments in favor of the right to bear arms, this one is directed specifically at how the irrationialities of gun control betray its motivation.
- kls 7y agoIf we where serious about gun deaths we would not be debating the emotional issue of mass shootings and black guns, rather we would be focused on the real tragedy of handgun deaths which does not just eclipse the rare and significantly smaller portion of mass shooting deaths by long-arms rather it statistically makes them almost null in comparison. On average handguns kill 19 times as many people than all other guns combined. The number of people killed in mass shootings is a even significantly smaller percentage of that 1 in 19.
