The Stupidity of AR-15 Bans

GhostlyJoe said:

Here you go.

Key points:

• Arrest rates for firearms possession have doubled since 1965
• Arrest rates are 5 times greater for blacks than whites (does this mean gun control is racist? :0)
• Gun ownership rates are much higher in rural areas than urban areas, yet almost all gun possession arrests occur in urban and suburban communities.

To put this simply -- every time you pass new criminal laws, you create a new class of criminals. We need to take these things seriously. "We need to do something" is not good enough.

Good. If they break the law they are criminals

Your depth of analysis is staggering. lol. You asked for evidence. I provided it from a reputable source. At least take a look at it and consider whether the policies you are backing would have net positive or negative effects on our population.

They would have a positive effect.

I'm not sure locking up more black youths is the best thing for our society long-term. Who do you think is going to bear the brunt of your regulations? Do you we really think rural sheriffs are going to police Clem's arsenal out in BFE Township? These and other bans contribute to the deterioration of poor, urban communities, and the statistics support that analysis.

I am against gun bans

Banning AR-15s will do almost nothing aside from hurting law abiding owners.

The rest of that insane triggered unhinged hilarious meltdown aside

Yes I agree banning AR-15s is quite stupid and would probably do nothing but punish law-abiding citizens.

But the banners don't advocate for more laws or more enforcement of existing laws directed at criminals. Banners advocate for more and more laws restricting legal non criminals.

Even then, banners don't advocate for restricting certain firearms functions. Instead it's thumb holes, bayonet mounts, surpressors, pistol grips. None of which will prevent a single murder, mass or otherwise.

Ammosexuals fight every reasonable gun control law

All those cops are trained and heavily background checked and their guns are registered.


Do the same and fine with me

All police are not heavily trained. I was surprised to learn from a deputy sheriff that her yearly qualification consisted of one magazine fired on target. Many CCW possessors are far better trained than most LEO. I think that's more the rule than the exception.
