First a mass shooting in Tennessee, now in Kentucky.

But I thought the NRA said guns make us more safe?

The reason we have so many mass shootings in this country is because of our lax gun laws and our proclivity for assault weapons. This is because idiot Republicans are trying to please their idiot constituents.

The shooting apparently occurred in a bank. Will republicans propose arming tellers? Do banks need door reform? Was the shooter thinking about becoming a woman? What stupid ideas will republicans advance?

I will assume that hand guns kill many more.

Well first we are talking about mass shootings.

Second, semiautomatic handguns with magazines over 10 rounds qualify as an assault weapon

Exactly. 
And what is the going death rate for murder by hands, fists and feet compared to rifles of any kind?

Define “assault weapon.”

Does that include blunt and stabbing objects? 
Hands, fists and feet?
Motor conveyances?
Chainsaws?
Swords?

Mass murder or just ordinary murder? Are you including suicides too? Just double action pistols - not semiautomatic handguns?

In  2009, the estimated total number of firearms available to civilians in the United States had increased to approximately 310 million: 114 million handguns, 110 million rifles, and 86 million shotguns(36). Per capita, the civilian gun stock has roughly doubled since 1968, from one gun per every two persons to one gun per person.

In 2018, the Small Arms Survey reported that U.S. civilians alone account for 393 million (about 46 percent) of the worldwide total of civilian held firearms.

I already did a couple days ago, remember?

The 3 H’s

High rate of fire - single action semiautomatic 
High power

I’ll make a deal with you. If you agree we should ban and collect up all the handguns in the United States I’ll agree to allow ownership of semiautomatic rifles with 10 round magazines. Do you agree?

Wrong. That's merely a description of parts and function of certain firearms. 
There is no such thing as an "assault" weapon. 

as·sault ə-ˈsȯlt 

Synonyms of assault
1
a
: a violent physical or verbal attack
b
: a military attack usually involving direct combat with enemy forces
an assault on the enemy's air base

c
: a concerted effort (as to reach a goal or defeat an adversary)
an assault on drug trafficking


2
law
a
: a threat or attempt to inflict offensive physical contact or bodily harm on a person (as by lifting a fist in a threatening manner) that puts the person in immediate danger of or in apprehension (see APPREHENSION sense 1) of such harm or contact

weap·on ˈwe-pən 

Synonyms of weapon
1
: something (such as a club, knife, or gun) used to injure, defeat, or destroy

2
: a means of contending against another

By definition, an "assault" "weapon" would be any blunt, stabbing tool/device or firearm used to violently physically attack an adversary.

Hmm....

So why did the amount of homicide stay the same? Doesnt more guns = more homicide? Even with all the mental diseases that US has lately?

Isn't this where you tell us what color the murdering hands and feet are?

Mass murder or just ordinary murder? Are you including suicides too?

No. I am not going to include suicide and that is not murder. The clue is in the name.


And I am simply enquiring as I have never looked at the subject. ..... until now.


October 26, 2021
"Handguns generally fall into two categories: 1. revolvers, which are "wheel guns" that hold about six rounds of ammunition, and 2. semi-automatic type handguns, which have smaller sizes that hold roughly seven to eight rounds, and larger ones with about 15 to 16 rounds".

"While semi-automatic rifles such as the AR-15 are a major flashpoint in the gun control debate and are often the focus of attention following mass shootings, there are only about 20 million assault rifles in the United States, a fraction of the estimated  400 million guns in the country. Instead, according to ABC News contributor and former FBI agent Brad Garrett, handguns account for the most gun murders in the U.S."





I’ll make a deal with you. If you agree we should ban and collect up all the handguns in the United States I’ll agree to allow ownership of semiautomatic rifles with 10 round magazines. Do you agree?

I am not American, sunshine.
 But I do wish I owned a gun, considering my country England is going down the shit pan, I believe I am going to need one sooner rather than later.

You didn’t answer - mass murder or ordinary murder? Mass murder is mostly accomplished with semiautomatic weapons.

But I do wish I owned a gun, considering my country England is going down the shit pan, I believe I am going to need one sooner rather than later.
Oh, you are from a second class country. England is going down the shitter because it is unable to adapt as times change.. Brexit showed that.

Plus, you people still have a royal family, lol.

I assume you need a gun to commit suicide

We don’t see any Americans killed by belt-fed machine guns. So we should allow people to own those, right? I mean, that’s your logic. The guns that are used to kill the least should be freely available.

I seen that as a statement not a question.

Thanks for the compliment, but I see it as a third world , third class country compared to the one I used to know.


England is going down the shitter because it is unable to adapt to a modern world.

No. England and the rest of the UK is going down the shitter because of mass immigration, legal and illegal. We have a clash of cultures going on here that is about to morph into a clash of civilisations.



Plus, you people still have a royal family, lol.

You mean a Monarchy. . Probably the only genuine thing we have left


I assume you need a gun to commit suicide

Well You don't live here, sunshine. And I would have thought it simple common curtsey  for the foreigner to adapt to  his/her adopted country.

So you don't agree that foreigners that choose to live in another country that has a culture entirely different to their own should adpapt to the cultures of country that they chose to live.
Still you are more than entitled to you opinion, as warped and cockeyed as it is.

Anyway. Tell me more about gun culture that American was born and raised on.

Do you mean “foreigners” should have to eat crappy food and warm beer and be sexually frigid?

I got my first gun, a 12 gauge shotgun, when I was 12 years old. It was for shooting pheasants and deer. Then people went nuts and wanted weapons of war.

I never believed that I would ever have the wish to own such a weapon. Obviously you did, at such an early age too. 
Anyway. Tell me more about gun culture that American was born and raised on.

How many different countries did England invade and try to impose their will on? You’ve got some nerve.
