The "Assault weapons" ban didn't work then and it won't work now

[Aus22]

The Assault weapon ban has worked in Australia. Before it was induce gun shootings were common in Australia. In 1987 there were two mass shootins that kill 8 people each. In 1990 5 were shot and 1992 6,

The last mass shooting was at Port Arthur in 1006 when a lone gunman shot 35. After that automatic rifles were ban and many guns handed in. After a shooting in 2002 when two were kill guns were restricted to 38 Calible and magazine rounds restricted to 10. There have been no mass shootings since

odd how none of those people had a 30 round clip assult rifle did they? Now give them all a few 30 round clips...Lets see the body count now. Not that you care.

they all could have obtained any weapon they wished and opted for handguns as they are more concealable and so utile.

and you can get 30 round magazines for handguns no mention in the post regarding this.

more people are killed with hammers and blunt objects than all rifles combined.

so its no big deal that thousands of brown people get murdered but murder a dozen or so white kids and the earth stops spinning.

not that you care.

there are advantages to being an island nation in terms of contraband. and your population is very different than ours.

Actually gun control is Constitutional...Thats why in 100 years the courts have agreed. WELL REGULATED its right in the 2nd but you guys read what you want.

What word comes after the word "regulated" in the second amendment? Oh yeah... Militia!

Etymological fallacy – which reasons that the original or historical meaning of a word or phrase is necessarily similar to its actual present-day meaning.​

​

Regulated:
[modern] Control or supervise (something, esp. a company or business activity) by means of rules and regulations.
[obsolete] Of troops: Properly disciplined.

​

The project of disciplining all the militia of the United States is as futile as it would be injurious if it were capable of being carried into execution. A tolerable expertness in military movements is a business that requires time and practice. It is not a day, nor a week nor even a month, that will suffice for the attainment of it. To oblige the great body of the yeomanry and of the other classes of the citizens to be under arms for the purpose of going through military exercises and evolutions, as often as might be necessary to acquire the degree of perfection which would entitle them to the character of a well regulated militia, would be a real grievance to the people and a serious public inconvenience and loss.

Journals of the Continental Congress, 1774-1789​

That the strength of the Wabash Indians who were principally the object of the resolve of the 21st of July 1787, and the strength of the Creek Indians is very different. That the said Creeks are not only greatly superior in numbers but are more united, better regulated, and headed by a man whose talents appear to have fixed him in their confidence. That from the view of the object your Secretary has been able to take he conceives that the only effectual mode of acting against the said Creeks in case they should persist in their hostilities would be by making an invasion of their country with a powerful body of well regulated troops always ready to combat and able to defeat any combination of force the said Creeks could oppose and to destroy their towns and provisions.
--- Saturday, December 13, 1777.​

I am unacquainted with the extent of your works, and consequently ignorant of the number or men necessary to man them. If your present numbers should be insufficient for that purpose, I would then by all means advise your making up the deficiency out of the best regulated militia that can be got.

But Dr Sir I am Afraid it would blunt the keen edge they have at present which might be keept sharp for the Shawnese &c: I am convinced it would be Attended by considerable desertions. And perhaps raise a Spirit of Discontent not easily Queld amongst the best regulated troops, but much more so amongst men unused to the Yoak of Military Discipline.

so join a Milita if you want to play army man. But since your not in a Militia...and its been long established that you do not have a right to any arms you want just because rednecks want them to feel like a real man...to bad.

Funny how we banned full auto guns and somehow the nation did not get invaded...and the goverment did not go nazi on us, and the right never seemed all that concerned..

Every time I hear a nut bitching about how there rights to guns are being taken away...I think we need more if these idiots have guns.

also funny how all of the sudden you are saying, well yea the Constitution says Milita...but it does not realy mean that it means something else now...NO sorry I thought you guys want no interpretation...

don't worry its ok, we all know you just have selective reading.

Yes, I know its a huge problem...the Blunt weapon kill of 20-30 and wounding of of 70 more in Hammer attacks at schools and movie theaters. . And yes you can get 30 round clips for hand guns...And guess what...no fucking shit. Hand guns kill far more then rifles...but guess what no one is banning fucking rifles. They are talking about restriction on what type you can have. And you gun nuts would shit bricks if we banned hand guns so no one bothers trying. Its bad enough the NRA Pricks can't even agree on a check to make sure your not a convicted felon.

every time you gun nuts talk, you just sound like idiots with your bumper sticker logic. a gun walks in with a blunt object and a 2nd with a ar 15 with 30 round clip...and you are thinking the danger is with the blunt object . ( and hammers have a use in the real world...assault rifles don't unless you have a small dick and it makes you feel better)

The senator from California submitted legiskation SPECIFICALLY banning a list of makes and models of so called assault rifles.

Yep, you gun nuts keep pretending that Hammers are a bigger issue then assault rifles with 30 round clips. I know it is sad, evry few weeks , a new mass Hammering of people happens.

12,000+ gun murders a year in the US...Name a nation with gun deaths near that amount thats not a war zone or a 3rd world nation. ( and by the way, they all have movies and video games as well) Maybe its because they are not retarded about guns, and sit around looking at guns like they are porn.

the third world tries to ban weapons but mainly to save.their arses.

There have been zero mass shootings that I can think of that recently occured that with an "assault rifle". Can we please at least use the terminology correctly?
