If you don’t see a significant difference between automatic and non-automatic weapons then you wouldn’t care if automatic weapons were regulated the same as non-automatic
You could argue that, but I could also argue that the majority of M16/AR-15 style rifles issued by the US military are semi-automatic just like civilian models. Why? Because semi-automatic fire is, by far, more accurate, efficient, and deadly than burst or automatic fire.
So whether you want to call it an assault rifle, a long rifle, or whatever, the one you buy at Bass Pro Shops is just as advanced and deadly as what our military carries. So asking for some common sense gun laws and improved mental healthcare before you can just walk into a store and walk out with what is functionally the exact same rifle the most powerful military in the world issues to its soldiers maybe isn’t too fucking much to ask. The number one cause of death for children in the US is fucking firearms. As a lifelong gun owner, stop pissing and moaning about how improved gun laws will ruin your hobby while fucking kindergartners are far more likely to die to a .223 than their family is to know when their next meal will be.
The AR-15 doesn’t have selective fire.
His point about bullshit deflection stands.
You know you just can’t call “bullshit deflection” every time you are wrong because you failed to understand what you read right?
Um… You know I can easily buy a single-fire gun.
It is very challenging for me to buy a selective fire gun. Because, they have been heavily regulated for a long time.
Thanks for the great example of bullshit deflection!
it’s literally the definition given above that’s being used.
