Automatic weapons aren't being sold en masse and are rarely used in violent crime. The most common culprits are regular hand guns. The banning of which would require draconian laws. Laws that would need to be enforced, failing a massive culture shift resulting in the vast majority of gun owners voluntarily turning in their arsenals.
- tietjens 10mo agoYou can down vote me but bump stocks are legal. The difference seems semantic. There are many, many steps that could be taken in the USA to reduce access to weapons before reaching outright banning. Obviously. And also the idea that banning handguns would be draconian is hilarious. Try talking to anyone from UK, ANZ, Europe, etc. No one is crying about too much regulation.

- sheikhnbake 10mo agoBump stocks are also extremely rare when it comes to violent crime. I would also say they're the tip of the ice berg when it comes to modifying AR's. I'm gonna take a guess that you aren't overly familiar with firearms, but I say bump stocks being legal are a non-issue because a much simpler and cheaper modification to 90% of AR-15's will make them automatic rifles. The modification can be accomplished with a bit of wire coat hanger, or about 15 cents worth of plastic. And I say draconian in the context of existing American gun laws. But real talk, I'm not a gun nut. I'm a leftist that believes the working class should be armed and as a society we need to move towards a system that does mitigate violence. Gun laws alone won't and can't do that. And unless we have a national divorce, I don't see effective gun legislation happening.
