Geninuine question about guns in the US

Of course, because remember, a few red necks armed with ARs will certainly be able to prevent an armored division from overrunning their trailer park.

I guess it's sort of like "if they ban this type of gun, then it will be all guns next" kind of thinking then ?

Serious question because I've always been confused by this: the United States has 120 firearms per 100 residents, and they are the only country in the world that has more f
guns than people, why are there so many shootings when they know that the other person could easily shoot back? Also, wouldn't total crimes not related to guns be low knowing that anyone could kill them?

This is pretty much it. While most would laugh at the idea of average citizens standing any chance fighting back against our military, they might want to look at whats been going on over in Ukraine. How many thought the Russians would lose all these soldiers. And its because average citizens are standing up and fighting as well. This does mean the militias would ultimately win out however.

Then you would have to factor in how many in the military would switch sides and help out the militias. Thus giving us an even greater advantage.

Again, the odds of this actually happening is slim, but thats why we have the protection.

Look at our freedom of speech laws. Hate speech is protected just as much as popular speech. While in other countries hate speech is not protected. Should we all of a sudden stop protecting unpopular speech because it offends people. Of course not.

"They can also do damage with cars, airplanes, pressure cookers, fertilizer, knives, bleach, koolaid etc…"

LOLLLLLLLLLLL that shy we arm the military with only knifes and no guns right?

well said...of course a dem will have a snarky response.

Yup, and that's why our military goes into combat armed with cars, airplanes, pressure cookers, fertilizer, knives, bleach, koolaid etc…

And by the way, an AR15 fires a 5.56 or .223 round and it leaves the muzzle at around 3000 FPS. It's the round the US military has been using for killing folks with since the 1960s. The M16 is an AR15 with selective fire. Other than that, all parts are interchangeable.

Ah ok, that's very helpful. Yes, the media label it an assault rifle so I assumed that was correct. I know nothing about guns. Thank you 👍

Isn't funny how they are so concerned with arming other countries, but disarming law-abiding Americans.... fucking clown world.

......from above

The bottom line is that the proposed gun laws are not going to save any lives. They won't prevent these shootings because they do NOTHING to address the underlying causes. Guns are low hanging fruit. Democrats can pass a law, say they did something, satisfy their ignorant constituents and nobody bothers to look at the numbers until years later. The last assault weapons ban was PROVEN to do nothing to prevent crime. Now here we are again, because we can't face the reality as a society, that we're doing something wrong that's creating these monsters.

You can't save the sheep from wolves by pulling the sheep dog's teeth.

Off the pigs!

Are you aware of the type ammo used in these videos? The AR-15 can be chambered for different types of ammunition. The AR-15 in these videos more than likely used defense hollow point which explodes inside the target. The reporter didn’t give all the facts when talking about the AR-15.

A Glock .40 if chambered with defense hollow point can do as much damage as an AR-15. People, educate yourself before sounding off!

”Most AR15s fire 223 Remington or 5.56 NATO ammo, although AR15s have been chambered with a number of other ammunition types, including 22 long rifle, 204 Ruger, 6.5 Grendel, 6.8 SPC, 300 AAC Blackout, and 458 SOCOM. AR15s can also shoot pistol ammo, such as 9 mm, 40 Smith & Wesson, and 45 ACP.”

The AR-15, btw, is NOT an assault weapon. The following will explain the AR-15 much better than I ever could.

This is news to you? Yes, rifles are destructive on human bodies, that's kinda the point. Your average deer rifle will basically double the tissue destruction.

However, they obviously used non-expanding bullets in the handguns to maximize the effect of their "unbiased" story.

I'm sorry but this idea that you can ban AR's so that people who are shot have less serious injuries and that will save lives is absolutely batshit crazy.

"Assault weapon" is an arbitrary term, used by politicians to manipulate ignorant people.

Is this the 60 minutes where the pussy reporter fucking cries after shooting a goddamned rifle?

And guess who would be arrested! Don’t you know if you’re White you aren’t permitted to brandish a firearm in front of Blacks? Even in your own home! Do you recall the couple who were arrested in 2020 for having firearms when the mob broke down the gate to invade the couple’s neighborhood? Their weapons were confiscated. Another person was inside his house when he feared a mob of BLM thugs would approach his home. All he did was wave his firearm while he was still inside. He was arrested!

The picture of that lady standing out front of her house with the piddling .380 and a mob of people screaming at her about her privilege and that they could take her house was pretty compelling evidence that a handgun ain’t gonna intimidate in the context of complete social breakdown like we saw in 2020-21
