LOTS of people have uninformed opinions. It's too bad the loudest idiots get the most attention, and spread their lack of knowledge as fact.
You don't see a qualitative difference, especially in terms of lethality, between say an AR-15 and a Beretta 9 mm handgun?
There are a lot of factors affecting lethality.

Lethality greatly depends on shot placement. In untrained hands the longer sight radius of a rifle improves the odds of a shot hitting the target vs a hand gun. In trained hands a rifle increases the distance where a shot will hit the target. Comparing shots hitting the same spot then a shot in the head or heart pretty much kills you so no difference. The shot that Will show a difference is one not instantly lethal. The wound channel for the rifle with it's higher velocity most likely will be larger. However then bullet type comes into play.

A rifle is harder to conceal than a hand gun before it is brought into use. This allows the shooter to close distance. Thus improving the chance of a lethal shot.
So now lets compare apples to apples. Let's assume the weapon handler is untrained except for the basic functions of the weapon, such as pulling the trigger and reloading. Let's now assume untrained weapons handler wants to shoot up a supermarket. Which weapon is most likely to result in a higher casualty count? Clearly the rifle is the far more potent of the two.
Goalposts move from lethal to casualty.
The goalposts only moved in your head. Let’s change casualty to fatalities. Still think the two types of weapons are equal?

Depends on what range the mass killings are being made. You can reload a pistol all day, same as a rifle. Plus, you can carry more rounds and more pistols. The reason so called assault rifles are being targeted is that they are the weapon of choice for fruitcake school shooters. I’d wager most “mass shootings” are from the barrel of a pistol.

Handguns are used in the majority of mass shootings, assault weapons are the used in the majority of the most deadly shootings. Almost as though handguns are more common and assault weapons are more deadly or something obvious like that isn't it.

There are knife amnesties. Our major stabathon problem does still leave london less deadly than any major city in the entire US though.

This point was already made, so I am simply referring to reality, not the 'what if' scenarios. You can play the 'what if' game forever.

"the problem I have is that everyone wants to "take the assault rifles but not handguns" even though about 7000 people are killed every year from handguns and only about 400 from rifles. ALL rifles, not just scary looking assault rifles."

Now whittle that down to assault rifles only, the uproar in the country over that little figure seems moot. We have bigger fish to fry, IMO.

From the NY TImes years ago, Clinton's gun ban did, in fact, reduce the number of assault weapons recovered by local police, to 1 percent from roughly 2 percent. Yup. Only 2% of guns recovered are 'assault' style.

Still, the majority of Americans continued to support a ban on assault weapons.

One reason: The use of these weapons may be rare over all, but they’re used frequently in the gun violence that gets the most media coverage, mass shootings.

The reason that assault weapons get the press is most mass shooting with handguns tend to be gang members target different gang members. Americans aren’t usually outraged over the idea of criminals killing other criminals. What creates outrage is the single shooter or small group that targets innocents at random. Those shooters are looking for numbers and they use the weapons that are most effective, which are assault style semi auto rifles

The media has made an emotional plea to ban 'assault' rifles.

Mass shooters get way more media attention than they deserve, and far too often if existing protocols were followed they would be stopped.

Don't let emotions manipulate you; if they take your rifles, you hand guns will be next. The goal is to get rid of the second amendment.

Don’t let emotions manipulate you, then make a hysterical argument that the goal of reasonable gun control is the eradication of the second amendment.

Actually, only one type of mass shooter gets the attention. The majority of mass shooters are actually black men
This. By the definition we use of mass shooting.

It was a tragedy. I’d be furious, but he is able to forgive.
To me, the question is, did she have to shoot him? I mean, did she try “freeze, police!”?

allwhitemeat wrote: Wed Oct 02, 2019 7:14 pm good to know AnalHamster is still the voice of logic and reason around here. I agree with your general synopsis on almost all points. At this point, our guns wont stop a modern military unless we all have tanks and anti-anthrax medications and reinforced bunkers. the only thing stopping the military from turning us into a pulp is the will of the soldiers to disobey an order like that and a lack of will to use nuclear arms against our own homeland. any soldier in this scenario though that disobeys an order to open fire on the America People would probably be the first shot by their CO, but the refusal of servicemen to murder American citizens is our only true defense at this point.

the problem I have is that everyone wants to "take the assault rifles but not handguns" even though about 7000 people are killed every year from handguns and only about 400 from rifles. ALL rifles, not just scary looking assault rifles. So, yeah, they will take the "assault rifles" and the stats wont really change. then they will take the "sniper rifles" (the rest of the rifles) and it still wont change. Then they come for their real goal, handguns.

pandoras box is open, the guns are here. Im not a small dude so I don't feel intimidated in my home or public. If I was one of my daughters, id be strapped everywhere I went. Everywhere. Its the only equalizer there is for small women in a violent mans world until guns become obsolete and we move on to directed energy weapons or something.
i am certainly no expert on this topic, but i think when you compare deaths by handguns to deaths by assault rifles to make the point of what most people get pissed off about when stories make the news, is really an attempt to spin the argument.

I don't know the statistics, but I don't disagree that more people are probably killed each year from hand guns than they are from assault rifles. But stop for just a moment and think about where those killings probably take place and who is killed. The hand gun killings aren't happening in churches and malls and concerts and schools, etc. I mean, yeah, you can probably find some isolated examples. The point that "most" people make is that they have a problem with assault rifles because of what they can be used for (and are used for at times). They don't like the "pew pew pew pew" guns being available to people to have.

And, no, i don't really think that most of those people have some over reaching goal to start with one gun and work their way to all guns.
so much wrong, so little desire to debate with someone who starts with "I don't know the statistics". That would be a good place to start. handguns kill19 times the number of people that ALL rifles do, not including suicide. you would have to add about 22,000 more people to the handgun list if we included suicide but they are victims in the sense we are discussing here. the FBI stats don't break it down into which rifle type was actually used, just "rifles" so some of those 400 ar AR15, some are hunting rifles, some are black powder muzzle loaders. And handguns most certainly ARE a weapon of choice for most mass shooters, including the one that started the whole thing, Columbine. they each had a carbine rifle, sawed off shotgun and a 9mm handgun. granted, a rifle gives you larger range, capacity and accuracy but you lose maneuverability and the ability to fire from a confined space. but even knowing that, its STILL not the most commonly used weapon for a mass shooting (4 or more victims from a single event), handguns are. always have been.

this.

so if the goal is to reduce victimhood, you go with the steps that makes the biggest difference. if gun deaths were germs what we are talking about doing is starting with the least effective antibiotic treatment first. "oh man, you guys are really sick. lets give you a cure(ban assault rifles) that is 19times less effective than this other cure (banning handguns too) "

it starts with the rifles. nothing will change. then they come for the handguns. that's my opinion

That would be a good place to start. handguns kill19 times the number of people that ALL rifles do, not including suicide. you would have to add about 22,000 more people to the handgun list if we included suicide but they are victims in the sense we are discussing here. the FBI stats don't break it down into which rifle type was actually used, just "rifles" so some of those 400 ar AR15, some are hunting rifles, some are black powder muzzle loaders. And handguns most certainly ARE a weapon of choice for most mass shooters, including the one that started the whole thing, Columbine. they each had a carbine rifle, sawed off shotgun and a 9mm handgun. granted, a rifle gives you larger range, capacity and accuracy but you lose maneuverability and the ability to fire from a confined space. but even knowing that, its STILL not the most commonly used weapon for a mass shooting (4 or more victims from a single event), handguns are. always have been.
wow, they really beat the talking points into you guys, don't they.

If you are ever curious about where would be a good place to start when talking about the type of guns that are a problem, then look no further than a google search of the guns the dude in Las Vegas had in his hotel room. Go through the list of guns found in his hotel room:

Now what can we deduce from the choices he made from the weapons that were available to him?


Well, he was shooting at targets 300 yards or so away. A pistol would have been the wrong tool for the job.

Many of these shootings have been in enclosed spaces where a pistol might have been okay but I thing the magazine capacity of the rifle makes more sense if your going in for maximum casualties.
I blame Biker.

Mass shooters get way more media attention than they deserve, and far too often if existing protocols were followed they would be stopped.

Don't let emotions manipulate you; if they take your rifles, you hand guns will be next. The goal is to get rid of the second amendment.
Actually, only one type of mass shooter gets the attention. The majority of mass shooters are actually black men
Yeah, once upon a time the gang bangers weren't rolled into the rest. But it makes for a MUCH more dramatic story when you say 'hundreds of mass shootings this year alone!' and omit the context.

All means to manipulate.
