Thanks for posting this. It reveals the utter depravity of mental process in our White House. It defies logic to blame gun violence on mental illness when the incidence of mental illness is quite similar to ours throughout the other nations we regularly compare ourselves to. Yet these other nations experience only a tiny fraction of the gun violence that we do. And they are all nations where private citizens may own guns!
I've distrusted your lines of BS since you started posting on this site. So given your supposed vast knowledge of firearms, I would think it would be easy to clearly describe what is an "assault weapon" or "military style" firearm without relying on other ambiguous descriptions crafted in other political narratives and jurisdictions.
Excellent post. This is why, when asked to describe an assault weapon, the folks on the left will curl up and obfuscate any chance they get. But oh yeah, Piezoe is a supposed "libertarian". What a laugh riot.
Actually you are both barking up the wrong tree. As a practical matter you should want legislation to be constructed with a definition that is not so specific that it could easily be got round by clever individuals.
Spoken like a true Liberal. No, I don't want legislation that is worded so people can get around it. I want legislation that solves problems. And so should you.
Like the ones campaigning on confiscating people's firearms... That would indeed be dangerous, since they would use that loose definition to extend that to different types of guns, even the ones supposedly not included in the regulation.
Confiscating? The only serious proposals I am aware of involve a buy back program and making sale of "assault weapons," what New Zealand and I call "military style," illegal. Do you have a link? I am most definitely oppose to confiscation! That would violate our U.S. constitution, I believe.
Nice attempt at deflection... Caught red handed in your own bullshit argument about the "advantages of not so specific laws", which I showed could work both ways. But I'm not going to get caught in your already known M.O. of talking in circles while(unsuccessfully) trying to sound smart. You're a guy that self describes as "libertarian" and supports almost every left leaning policy there is and every kind of government intervention possible for fuck's sake... You're either a troll, or crazy or you have no idea what libertarian means... I can't know which one it is and I sincerely don't give a damn... All I wanted to do is expose how your stupid argument works both ways... Now you can go on and continue writing tons of gibberish...
