The idea that an 18-year-old can walk into a store and buy assault weapons is just wrong.
— President Biden (@POTUS) May 25, 2022
What in God’s name do you need an assault weapon for except to kill someone?

Apparently most Americans agree with extended background checks for firearms, even republicans. I'm pretty hardcore 2A and I don't see a problem with that.
I don't see why they don't try that again, even if it's going to fail.
It's way less stupid than pretending specific types of rifles are more dangerous because they look scary.

Because if we simply made the NICS system available to everyone, it would be simple and it harrass gun owners enough so democrats can't support it. Their idea of reasonable gun control is to ban everything fun, and put you on a list so the glowies can come kill you for your .22 bolt action they generously let you keep in a few years

Except we already have extensive background checks and have these school shooters on FBI radar and they STILL get away with it.

I dont think much will stop pre-planned mass shootings TBH. I care more about crazy randos and emotional domestic violence. But I should probably look into the background checks a bit more.

But the mass shootings are the only kind the public actually cares about. That's why you'll hear about a mass shooting for a week after it happens but won't see a single story about how twice as many people were shot dead in Chicago during that same week. That's why everyone yaks about "assault weapons" even though all rifles combined account for like 2% of firearm deaths (hint: it's mostly pistols).

Those are blacks killing people and that doesnt count chud. What we need is white cops putting boots on the necks of white people while blacks are absolved of responsibility.

If basketballs lose their guns, they'll switch to melee weapons, which they are genetically superior with. We'd have a national emergency as tribes of melinated spiked club wielding super soldiers pour out of Chicago

Nobody is talking about disarming black people, chud. Only white people need to keep their ideals of murdering innocent folk in check.

No one cares about violence in Chicago because it only happens far away from the city proper and it's all black on black violence.

The only way that would ever help is if we let federal agents take away specific peoples' firearms even if they already own them. That's... probably not going to go over well.

My problem with extended background checks is I don't trust the criteria to be used. Unelected people shouldn't be able to declare you unfit for rights.

Once congress goes Repub the only "extension" the background will towards is making sure minorities don't buy anything. But hey, that's what leftists want, why not give it to them?

But certain types of rifles are designed for combat vs sporting.
The "looks more scary" thing is both leftoid ignorance and rightoid trucknutism.

Ive already made a post about this, banning AR-15s and Chinese AK47s wont stop SKS and Ruger 14s and the million other rifles available that are just as powerful and extensible (Canada and NYC banned both of the prior ones but not a ton of others, which is exactly what they are going to do).

It addresses the dumbest possible characterization of a gun control argument.

But it’s not? A lot of gun control arguments hinge around accessories/appearances than just capability.

Exactly this. Skip a constructive discussion and focus on the picket signs and the uninformed. Then declare victory be those libs don't know what they are talking about.
Dumbest. Possible. Take.

Applying logic to an emotional political issue is stupid and nobody cares. Beto and Biden say this shit because their base has an emotional attachment to gun control.
Politics is 90% theater and a lot of people don't seem to get that.

So? Rightoids have been pretty clear that they’re not meant for sport, that’s not them being crass or dishonest.

Methinks they don't want to solve the problem unless it's by restricting guns for most people.
Personally I wouldn't mind raising the age of civilian ownership to 25 when the brain finishes developing
