None of this changes the fact that sem-auto rifles like the AR-15 should be banned and mag capacity reduced for all semi-auto guns. I haven't seen much on here lately about wanting to ban all guns. Maybe from a few extremists and this only strengthens their view.
Compromise is being sought from the gun control side and this does nothing to change what is being asked from gun owners/advocates.
I would gladly ban all guns, in a heartbeat
Remove the AR's all you want, although a great start, we will still have 40% of the world's guns with only 4% of the population
The idea of guns for protection is what has lead us to this country being littered with guns and gun related deaths... America's gun violence problem goes well beyond mass shootings and assault rifles. The numbers speak for themselves
I'm in the minority, and I'm fine with that. Good luck America, you're going to need it
“Nobody wants to ban all guns” Man, if I had a dime for every time I have heard that phrase used.
I would... put me in a headlock and I may allow you to keep shotguns & rifles with limited capacity & capability just in case you really like blowing bambi's head off and aren't man enough to use a bow.... firearms & anything close to resembling assault style rifles I would ban faster than you can fire a round... and maybe, just maybe, 200 years from now this country would actually be great... otherwise we are putting bandaids on bullet holes

You can discount anything that accompanies s sentence starting with "nobody".

Well, fortunately it’s not up to you...And fortunately you are in the minority. Don’t get me wrong, I do use a bow to hunt “Bambi” on occasion, but I have never really seen hunting as a manly-non-manly thing. I have always just looked at it as harvesting meat...I’m pretty sure that there are plenty of women hunters that would take offense to the “manly” statement as well. Hunting is something all can do...whether you are a man/woman/transgender/etc etc etc.

Look at PJPOWER trying to be PC all if the sudden lol... ok, maybe you aren't girly enough to use a bow?
Quick question, how's that 2A and having 42% of the world's guns working out for America?
Here is something Unsung points out that I agree with for different reasons... how many gun deaths are the result of handguns? A lot more then AR's, that's for sure... how many AR's will still be in circulation even after a full ban on sales?
I'm a big fan of starting with the low hanging fruit of AR bans, capacity restrictions, background checks, etc... but it's really just putting bandaids on bullet holes... but it is a start, so I'm fully behind it... I would personally go farther, but again, I'm a silly progressive liberal who belives in a much better way and much better future generations from now...
I know you disagree, that's fine...
But don't talk to me about "extreme vetting" for refugees from a war torn country and then just hand out AR's to goofy 19 year olds with a visa card... you guys on the right need to get your whacky shit together

“Nobody wants to ban all guns” Man, if I had a dime for every time I have heard that phrase used.
One would have to be foolish in the extreme to believe that when people say that, they are saying that literally "nobody" wants to ban all guns. It's a big country; people have a range of views on every topic. When people say that they generally mean a total gun ban isn't a point of policy.
I, too, would happily see a ban on personal gun use except within pretty strict parameters, which would include target shooting (guns typically kept locked at the range), certain types of hunting (with restrictions on which guns are available), and some remote areas where guns may be needed for protection from wildlife (certain types of camps, for instance). Luckily for me, I already live in a country with limited guns. Thank FSM for that.

Yeah, I disagree with you and still support vetting for refugees. I have mixed emotions about bans of any kind. I do not support an all-gun ban. And trust me, it is not just people on the right that hunt or believe in the 2A. I know plenty of liberals that own firearms and hunt. Gun ownership support is bipartisan (outside of a few eccentrics as tbergs stated).

Well, maybe people should be more clear. Maybe say “nobody with half a brain wants to ban all guns” or something like that. That would be a much more accurate statement . And thank you for your vote...oh wait, you don’t have a vote.

People should see the pictures and video of the carnage. They need to see it. If they don’t see it, god forbid, they need to experience it up close and personal. Otherwise, nothing is going to change.

I think that part of the problem is the desensitization...in a lot of areas. I’m not sure showing violence and bloodshed will do anything except desensitize even further. The brain works in interesting ways and there have been several psychological studies showing how regularly seeing violence, gore, porn, etc can make a person desensitized to those things and sometimes even become addicted to and desire them or even want to participate in them. I think that we have definitely become a desensitized/addicted society...not a good place to be. Ask the Romans how that went down...

Its already being done. I drive by a Planned Parenthood cneter quite frequently and the antis are out there with their full blown sized pictures of purported aborted fetuses. Theres a guy who drives around with a commercial type delivery van with the photos plastered on the sides. Pulled up next to me at a light with the kids in the back seat. When they asked, I told them its what their mother and I should have done and that that guy is crazy. Their both pro choice now by the way.

You are holding that hypocrisy, I will defend life.
The NRA hasn't ended any life, the NRA is supported with zero taxpayer dollars.
Planned Parenthood (irony there) ends life every day, and it is funded to the tune of $500M annually by taxpayers.
I know which is a greater threat to life.

How much do they spend on lobbying politicians that support it? It is full circle.
