banning guns will fix everything because criminals care about what is legal and just wont use guns if they are banned. obviously.

@jeff
Laws obviously don't prevent criminals from doing things that break the law. No law prevents all crime.

But gun laws CAN reduce the prevalence of many of the most deadly guns in our society. The fact that crimes committed with the use of machine guns are virtually nonexistent is a testament to the effectiveness of the gun laws that regulate fully automatic weapons ownership.

@johngove they really dont. full auto has been banned in the usa under NFA since the 80s. educate yourself.

>educate yourself
>wants to ban guns

you *know* its going to be impossible fir him to actually self-educate with those core Ideas.

You cant even legally get your hands on anything crazier than an ar. No smgs, and infferedly no machine guns.
@theorytoe @johngove banning guns works if you ignore the facts that criminals break the law even when it's illegal.

@jeff @theorytoe
My first reply to you literally stated that it's obvious that laws don't prevent criminals from breaking them.

Gun laws aren't about preventing crime in general.

@johngove @theorytoe correct, it's about banning fun because the ATF need to justify their own existence.

@jeff @theorytoe
Banning fun? Seriously?

Do you oppose ALL weapons regulation?
