Which weapons should be banned?

A very short primer on the weapons

There are automatic, semi-automatic and single-shot weapons.

Automatic guns are illegal. These are machine guns. You press the trigger and the bullets fly until you stop depressing the trigger. An exception to the rule is a Gatling Gun, but we’ve progressed far beyond that type of automatic weapon.

Semi-automatic: You must press the trigger for each bullet to be fired.

Single-shot: you load each bullet manually.
###

The Choices For Banning Are:

PISTOLS
Single shot pistols (musket)

Revolver type pistols (not semi-automatic officially but not single shot)

Semi-automatic pistols (cartridge)


RIFLES

Single shot rifles (Bolt action, Lever action)

Semi-automatic rifles (cartridge)


SHOT GUNS

Single shot (pump action, break action)

Semi-Automatic


NONE OF THE ABOVE

There is no choice for "None of the above" in the poll, but that is what I vote for.

There should be a none of the above option. I'm not opposed to certain limitations and licensing restrictions but I don't think any of them need to be completely banned.

Point of order.
Automatic weapons are not illegal, you can own one with the right amount of money, background checks, and paperwork.

They just can't be manufactured after 1986, when I was approximately 2.

Edit: Also, none of the above should be illegal.

The Chair recognizes the member and stands corrected.
 
Maybe all mentally ill people should be banned. That would fix the mass shooter problem.

...or at least given better mental health care. The LW anti-gun mob often blames the RWers on the lack of better mental health care yet the Democrats always put banning guns first and only give mental health care lip-service. Obama only added it as an afterthought when he learned his initial gun ban bill would never pass at all.

Actually, the left should shoulder most of the blame for all the mentally ill out on the streets. They pushed "the mentally ill have rights" idea that eventually put many mentally ill people on the streets. They supported closing mental hospitals and treating the mentally ill as outpatients. So today it is very difficult to force a mentally ill person into a mental hospital for treatment, or even make them take their meds. Which leads to homelessness and mass shooters. The law of unintended consequences strikes again.
 
I don't think any should be banned.

OTOH, I think that in order to own a specific type of weapon there has to be a "qualification" process. A graduated licence to own that level of weapon with a testing requirement. The more devastating the weapon class the more stringent the testing.

I'm good with that as long as we also require people to pass an IQ and education "qualification process" before speaking, assembling, practicing religion, claiming to be "the press" and, especially, voting. If we're going to impose an authoritarian regime and deprive Americans of their rights, let's get it right, umkay? I'm sure you'd have Trump's full support on this. :)
 
Waiting for plasma rifles to become available just to watch the anti-gun mob have a conniption and try to ban them.

I think there is kind of a GIGANTIC difference between access to weapons that kill fellow citizens, and freedom of speech, religion press and the right to vote.

your premise that you can't have those freedoms without unfettered access to firearms is nonsense. I am not saying deny access, I'm saying demonstrate you are responsible enough to have access to them in the first place.

Interesting that its considered an existential threat to one's rights and freedoms to endorse qualified access to very means of projecting existential threats on everyone around you. I

OW, everyone should have the right to have the means to easily kill dozens of their fellow citizens without any restriction or qualification.
