Why shouldn’t we ban liberals? Nearly all “mass” shooters are leftists.

Setting aside the obviously un-Constitutional infringement aspect of this idea, let's consider the practical side.

Why? Why do you want to ban semi-automatics? I can see two possible reasons, neither of which are good reasons.

One, this is simply a stepping stone towards a bigger goal. Just as biting off an "assault weapons" ban is a first step, then semi-automatics, then maybe handguns, then maybe rifles and shotguns that hold more than 3 rounds... When there's no good reason for something, it's probably not the ultimate goal.

Two, you believe semi-automatics are too lethal, too good at their job. To that I say bravo! That's exactly what I want! One of the primary reasons I own firearms is for self defense. In that regard I want the most effective weapon I can find. If my G19 with 15+1 rounds of 9mm is a better option than my 5 shot .38spl S&W revolver then why wouldn't I want the G19? Who are you (you as in anyone) to tell me what is "good enough" or "too good" for me to defend myself and my family with? Would anyone accept someone telling them "hey, we're restricting smoke detectors, we've determined every household only gets two, so put one in your master bedroom and the other one in the bedroom of your favorite child." Or how about "we've decided to restrict your car's seatbelts and airbags." Or "No-one needs a fire-extinguisher bigger than..." Ridiculous, right? So h**l yes I want the most effective weapon I can afford and use. "Military style?" Sure, why not? The design and operation of military style weapons are influenced by many of the same considerations and priorities I have for a self defense weapon. Sure, some needs/priorities are different, but in general if it is effective in that role, it'll be effective in the one I may need it in too. I will not accept some political hack trying to tell me how well (or not) I'm allowed to defend my family. Molon Labe!

We need laws against murder.

I would love to throw Beto and this ignorant punk into an arena and turn loose lions on them and have a locked cage with a couple of loaded ARs and handguns in it. I can’t think of any other way to get these people to change their minds.

I will keep repeating the same thing I guess. At least half of all shootings are drug and drug gang related. Some scum executed a 9 year old kid in Chicago the other day as revenge against the kid’s father, whom they believed killed one of their relatives. First if you can’t stop the drugs, you can’t stop the guns. Second, if you want to cut the shooting rate in half (and robbery and burglary rates and insurance rates) find a way to take the profit out of drugs. Then there is no need to kill rivals.

Most importantly, time to enforce the gun laws. People on parole and probation for violent felonies have agreed as terms of their release to surrender certain rights. They can be and should be stopped and searched frequently and if caught with a gun sent to prison. And it’s time that prosecutors stop dropping gun charges. Big city prosecutors drop gun charges frequently as part of “justice reform” and also for the costs because gun crimes against felons carries mandatory sentences. Mandatory sentences means more likely it goes to trial, and more costs to incarcerate. Well duh there is a reason why those laws are on the books. The big cities just have a catch and release program with violent felons. Insanity.

Incredible that Texas almost elected this lying POS to the Senate.

Goes to show the power of the Democrat controlled media in lying for their favorite candidates.

This “Columbine survivor” bullied the two shooters, just like the “Parkland survivors” bullied that shooter.

Columbine Survivor To O’Rourke: Why Shouldn’t We Ban All Semiautomatic Weapons?

Because such a foolhardy, unconstitutional law would touch off a civil war in which MILLIONS could potentially die. Because we, the American patriots, will kill all the traitors and tyrants you send to take them. The GRID could even be destroyed. You want to freeze in the dark? You idiots want that?

Sorry, C19, not talking to you, talking to the idiots.

Because civil wars are ugly things, that’s why.
