    This doesn’t even solve let alone address clip size, handguns, crime overall, poverty, or climate change on top of assault weapons so what’s the point of anything? /s

    Gun crime is solved! Totally not going to see any gang shootings or guns with “polished” serials for sale.

    Well this is stupid. Three-quarters of homicides are done with handguns. That’s not even counting suicides, which cause even more deaths than murders do. If they wanted to reduce gun violence, they’d ban handguns. I get that people are scared, but this will not fix the problem.

      Never gonna happen. And with all these armed fascists running around it shouldn’t until they don’t exist anymore and even then I’m skeptical.

        My question was meant literally. I’m not asking what guns laws should be, nor how likely any new legislation is. I’m asking for a thought-out answer on what it would take nationally for a similar ban.

          For this conversation to be had nationally I think a minimum of 3/4 of the population will have to have long term faith in the Government to be fair and just. Then theyd also have to have complete faith that enemies foreign and domestic (think criminals, terrorists, violent nations) won’t use these weapons against them. That’s what I think at least, but idk I’m just a dude.
