And, yes, banning all guns would be about as successful as was the prohibition of liquor nearly a century ago. Former Chicago mayor Richard M. Daley was one quoted as saying that these types of assault weapons are not the kind of weapons deer hunters would use. And an assault weapons ban wouldn't bother me in the least because I would never have any interest in obtaining one, and would go a long way toward keeping our streets safer. I don't even believe that the majority of law enforcement uses them.(11-01-2018, 06:05 PM)Bob Butler 54 Wrote:(11-01-2018, 06:00 PM)Eric the Green Wrote: Banning weapons of war like the AR-15 should be applied to anyone who wants to buy one.

That, and a little thing called the Constitution.
And not everyone. There is no right if one is a felon or insane or if a hostile significant other lies.
No-one has a constitutional right to an AR-15, no matter what anyone says. Debating the same thing for years and years with someone is not fruitful. Matt Post asked if there is a will to take weapons of war off our streets. Millions of people answered him "yes," there is a will. The only problem is that Dianne Feinstein's law of 1994 was not made permanent, because the supreme court put Bush in the White House (and his better horoscope put him there....).
You have a right to your opinion too, but don't waste your time trying to change my mind on that weapons of war on our streets issue, and don't bother to complain or insult me because I won't.
