It’s time to bring back the assault weapons ban, gun violence experts say<<MOD WARNING>>

It is a matter of nothing more than semantics. The two are one in the same regardless of the term used. It is no different than arguing over whether or not it is appropriate to refer to unmanned aerial vehicles as being drones.

 

No they are not the same

And yes it is a semantics game with the pro gun group using emotive and inaccurate language

 

Which pro gun group?

"Since the 1997 mandatory National Firearms Buyback by federal and all state governments and the subsequent handgun buyback in 2003, more than a million privately owned firearms are known to have been surrendered or seized."

So ?

They took all your guns away.
Plain & Simple.

Now you lot cry it was all for the best.

And now, you want the same for us here ?
No thanks, keep your gun control at home and stop trying to infect us with it.

Like a double amputee proving legs are a botheration and convincing everyone to have both legs amputated close to the hip, so we can all be happy !

No thank you.
I will keep my legs and my guns.

 

Ihyperbole much?

 

Is the nation of Australia authorized to seize any firearms found in private possession if they meet the definition of being prohibited firearms?

 

That is exactly what your side does, you do not know anything about guns, and pretend you do.

 

If the govt comes to your door and tells you that you have 1 month to turn in your gun or they will arrest you and put you in prison, that's not voluntarily turning in your gun. A 1st grader understands this, so why don't gun banners?
