Why Are People Opposing Gun Control? Is There Anything Unreasonable About It That I’m Missing?


This is a list of things that Mayors Against Illegal Guns wants, according to their newsletter:
– Require a criminal background check for every gun sold in America.
– Ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines that enable mass killing.
– Make gun trafficking a federal crime, with stiff penalties for those who arm criminals.
In all honesty, I don’t see anything wrong with any of these things. I think background checks are something that should be considered basic, and I see no legitimate reason for anyone to have a high-capacity magazine or fully-automatic firing mechanisms, unless you REALLY can’t aim. Gun trafficking is something that I haven’t seen mentioned much, and it seems logical to go after the real problems. Though what I’m seeing here is people making it out to be the end of gun ownership for civilians. I really want to know the opposite point of view – please use specific arguments for why you think these things are unreasonable, not generalizations. That means telling me why you don’t want background checks, or why you need an assault weapon/fully-automatic weapon/high-capacity magazine. I know that the NRA refers to assault rifles as “modern sporting equipment”, which is why I have adopted a liberal stance on this issue. There’s nothing sporting about 800 rounds per minute. But my opinion doesn’t matter in this case, I want to hear yours.

Since Assault Weapons Are Not Used For Assault, But For Tin Can Plinking, Should The Name Change?


Is it safe to assume that Americans who purchase Assault Weapons like an AK-47 have no intention of using the assault weapons to assault other human beings with, just used to assault empty beer cans and small woodland animals with?
Assault weapons in America are not used for assaults on other Americans, so why not just call them Recreational Plinkers or something like that?
It’s like my Uncle 20 years ago, he bought a shoulder mounted rocket launcher on the black market and when I asked him “who you gonna blow up with that Uncle?” he said “Nobody, this is a Gopher Eradicator, not a rocket launcher.” I said “oh,ok”.
How did the assault rifle get that name anyway? What was it created for? And really, people who think they should be allowed to have a secret and private arsenal of ASSAULT weapons are not people the Government, entrusted to protect LAW ABIDING American citizens, should be checking up on?
Really, you are my neighbor and you see me sneaking dozens of assault weapons and dozens of clips into my house and you won’t stick your nose into my business?
Of course not, I am white.
Agree or disagree?
