Everytime democrats talk about banning AR-15s the sale of AR-15s go through the roof, hell I bought my first AR-15 when I started hearing that talk... democrats really need to change tactics, seems they are having the opposite effect they want. Might help if they actually bothered learning about guns first though, because their ideas will never be useful if they dont understand the subject matter, and they never do apparently based on the commentary I keep hearing.
@freemo but arguing from pathos is basically their whole brand.
@freemo you've probably already been through it but its amusing to see gun controllies tend to have no actual grasp of numbers or facts. their head fallback is "oh but no matter how few deaths actually happen, they could be prevented easily!"
which is itself a texas sharpshooter fallacy. there is nothing that says the criminal wouldn't have used an illegal gun to commit a crime. or even that a criminal would not have just used a knife. UK has so much weapon control they don't let people carry sporks* around and yet they have uncontrollable stabbings and beatings with sticks
but like. the most likely gun crime (20% of all "crime") is suicide. and the most common weapon you are killed in a crime by is a pistol.
so the evidence would say you should need more screening to own a pistol than an armalite.
but armalites are more useful for putting lockdowners and traitor governors against the wall which is why they need to go (that and the UN wants them gone because "civilian ownership of firearms threatens the legitimate power monopoly of the state" which in turn is a "submit to Hobbs" argument.)
* there was a photo from the police of "confiscated deadly weapons" and it had a fucking SPOON in the frame.

@freemo someone in texas did a search in recentish history and found that almost zero people who had concealed carry licenses were involved in any gun related violent crimes.
