This thread's pretty much wound down (thanks to everybody I went back-and-forth with), so I'd like to say a piece real quick that's tangeantal to it.

First off: ![]() This is pathological. I typically don't give a shit about RNR, but this is ****ing weird behavior. To keep coming back to the same thread for a week's time, adding hardly anything to it other than this bullshit directed at a single poster. Second off, this is why DC is considered a cesspool. And it's why I started that poll to potentially revise the forum, which of course was shot down. If this mess doesn't bother you, so be it. But my guess is that even the folks that enjoy this forum tire of this ridiculous bullshit. And posters have admitted this leads to a cooling effect on participants in this forum. That's all, that's my piece. Last edited by Direckshun; 02-20-2013 at 03:43 PM.. |

You still never explained what aspects of an "assault rifle" you think makes it easier to commit a mass shooting with.

Well, the fact that it's a gun makes it a lot easier to commit a mass killing with - but banning guns, or even banning semi-automatic guns or handguns, is ridiculously unrealistic and, as Patteeu said, fringey.
As to the 'assault weapons' specifically making it easier to commit a mass shooting with, it's no more effective (and may often be less effective) than a different firearm. They are, however, a lot more appealing, for just the reason that so many others have been saying: they're scary-looking. Adam Lanza, for example, chose the AR-15 because he was running on all id, and went with The Big Gun even though the two pistols he was carrying would probably have been more effective. |

And now, I finally get back to a question posed to me several days ago.

Also, I want to add to Direckshun's post about "This is why DC is a cesspool", specifically for this post:

Which is why people are fighting "you guys" tooth and nail. Your position is ridiculous. Even people (not just you) who support it admit that it does nothing. This really is a gun grab. It's also blatantly using a tragedy to further a political agenda. Honestly, it's disgusting and you deserve every ounce of scorn flung your way. |

While you're dreaming of the day when government goons will trample my constitutional rights and seize several thousands dollars of my lawfully-obtained property for no good reason, you might want to look up the definition of "perhaps." Or not - I don't really care. You and every other scumbag who voted "yes" in this poll are as dead to me as Neil Smith. And whether you not you support child molesters, AFAIC, you might as well.

Yes they do, the same respect that their ilk shows our kind. They may not have written the book on mean and nasty but, they have certainly contributed a chapter or two in their time. Who would have ever thought that I would come to actually love raider fan? I feel so.... dirty.
