Do you support the outright ban of "assault" rifles?
Simple...

yes or no.

This thread brought to you by a comment in DC stating we would be surprised by how few people in DC would support the ban. Figured we might as well get numbers.

Yes! Punish everybody for the misdeeds of a few! DIRECSHUN'S AMERIKA BABY!

Considering I'm not the one arguing to restrict a person's rights, I don't see where you get this "we" shit from?

Your argument implied that the amount of time Person A spends discussion Issue X directly displays how much Person A cares about Issue X.

Direckshun spends all this time talking about assault weapons, and doesn't spend any time talking about traffic safety laws. Therefore, he cares too much about assault weapons and doesn't care about traffic safety laws.

It's a fallacious argument.

If you support a ban on assault rifles then you aren't doing something about it. You are telling your politicians that you accept their bullshit as an appropriate response to an issue that concerns you. You are eating shit and asking for seconds.

So like everybody else, you favor moving the needle a bit away from absolute freedom in order to insure some order.

I just favor moving the needle farther.
You favor moving the needle to the point where the collective is being punished for the actions of a minority. That ceases to be freedom of any kind at that point.

No, it just points out that you are full of shit and just parroting the extreme left wing Obama points that were handed to you

"Freedom" isn't binary. It exists on a scale.

Freedom is regularly restricted for the concerns of society at large. That doesn't mean it ceases to exist. It's just less absolute.
