Nowhere in this thread not even in my entire history on social media have I ever called for a ban on all firearms.
I defy ANYONE to quote me where I ever said we should.
I defy anyone to show me how hitting someone with a shotgun, or a 8 clip 9mm or a 6 shooter revolver would be less effective than a spray riffle?
Show me the NEED and not the desire. A cop needs to carry even a handgun, a citizen at best, might need a handgun for home protection, but between a cop and a citizen, I am going to trust the COP to protect me before a layperson. I am going to trust a combat trained soldier first, before desiring the protection from a civilian who thinks target shooting is the same as stress shooting.
"I can" yea, I can jump off the Golden Gate Bridge too, and legally people can walk across it, and there is not much stopping people from jumping. But that does not make the bridge safer to prevent jumpers.
"I want" and "I can" and "I am entitled" are not pragmatic arguments. I don't care what the subject is, I have the same attitude about ANY SUBJECT. SHOW ME, dont cry about rights.
If you cannot demonstrate the pragmatic NEED then all you are arguing is a personal desire. Just like religion is not illegal and nobody is calling for a ban, but only theocrats want no rules where only they get what they want.
