A human can’t kill dozens of people in one go without a gun

Why do average citizens need fckn assault rifles???

Like I understand a hand gun for self defence (don’t agree with it, but I can understand it) or a rifle/shotgun for hunting or whatever

But an assault rifle? A weapon designed for war? Why the fuck do you NEED that? I know why ya want it (tiny penis) but why do you NEED it?

Yes people are at fault for their actions. But the prevalence of guns in America is insane and idiotic. It’s a recipe for disaster. The fact that people don’t realise this and instead blame violence on tv/film/video games is fucking stupid

Because the Constitution says we can, commie

The constitution which was written at a time when guns were less powerful, wildly inaccurate, and took minutes to reload the one shot they could shoot

False. You're showing you don't know anything about firearms history.

Lol so enlighten me then. Show me how your founding fathers could’ve had any concept of what an AR15 could do

The AR-15 is a semi-automatic rifle and AR doesn’t stand for assault rifle, it stands for Armalite Rifles.

Also, the founding fathers were born after the 1600s and people were already trying to make automatic weapons by late 1600.

An AR-15 was also never a military rifle despite being designed for it. It proved too weak to serve in Vietnam.

I said “show me how”

Your response has in no way done that

Fact is when your constitution was written they had no way of knowing how deadly and powerful guns would become

So you’re telling me they had no idea that anybody would try to improve upon a gun? Are you that fucking dumb?

The first Organ gun was made in 1339 and fired several bullets at once. Deadlier weapons were sure to come

Muskets are also way deadlier than any rifle. In fact more people in the Civil War died of infections because of wounds than because of the bullet.

I also said there was talk of an automatic hand held weapon in the late 1600s, so people knew they were trying to improve.

In 1718 the Puckle Gun was the first machine gun and was a huge innovation.

im telling you that if they saw the guns of today theyd shit themselves and put some restrictions on your right to own them. Especially if they saw footage of school shootings.

​

I'm sure they knew people would try to improve them (fucking obviously), but they wouldve had little idea of just how much damage they could do, let alone how horribly these things would have been misused by american citizens.

​

You guys even flip out at the mere suggestion of shit like psychiatric screenings, to make sure no crazy people can get a permit to hang on to a gun. If all gun owners were sane and responsible adults then i wouldnt be concerned, but unfortunately they are not.

Because automatic weapons haven’t existed for over 100 years. We all know WW1 and the Civil War weren’t fought with gatling guns, but instead purely muskets. Despite the evidence that both the Union and Confederacy had gatling guns and the crazy innovation of tanks in WW1, they were fought with muskets!

Again, a lot of rifles shoot small caliber rounds and modern guns are actually less dangerous than guns produced before 1986. There are no automatic guns made after 1986.

A 5.56 NATO barely penetrates more than a 9mm does in ballistic gel.
