You might be right... but they haven't exactly said that themselves now have they? Sometimes silence speaks volumes.
Sometimes some shit is so ridiculous it doesn't warrant a response.
The range of opinion that has been exercised on this forum is very broad. Absurdity is not out of the question.
Do you remember when the following hypothetical situation was presented to the pro-gun crowd: if offered the chance to go back in time, forfeit assault rifles, and be assured the Sandy Hook classroom would be spared... would you do it? Do you remember how they danced around that question- never answering it once... deflecting responses in painful manners that clearly and most definitely revealed the mentality which existed?
WH is not alone- he's just the only one capable of admitting the depth of his conviction.

An array of opinions here, for sure...but when you say "pro-gun crowd", you're talking about one, maybe three, people in these forums. From what I've seen, most folks who support gun rights also are for common-sense checks and balances.
So, silence from the majority isn't as telling as made out to be.

the question isn't worth an answer. It is an unfair hypothetical. It would only be fair if the only use for semi automatic rifles was to kill children. It isn't their only use and banning them isn't the only way to keep children safe. It is like saying cars kill thousands every year, would you go back in time and stop the invention of the car? If not, you must not care about all the children that have died in car accidents.
Would I personally give up my access to assault rifles for those 20 people, absolutely...but I wouldn't give up the rights of everyone to have access to them. Civil/criminal liability for a gun I bought/sold being used by someone in a crime? probably for that though as long as a jury of my peers was the one deciding it.
