    Show me a single specification for a gun which says the purpose is to kill people. Just one.

    I have never claimed self defense was the purpose of the gun as manufactured. The specifications will have specific requirements for accuracy, muzzle velocity, etc. The purpose of the gun is what the owner chooses to be the purpose of the gun. Self defense is what I choose to use it for and what the vast majority of gun owners choose to use them for.

    This was NOT a "simple gun". And these were NOT simple bullets that he used

    So if drilling a tube that is more likely to blow in their face than to kill 19 children and two teachers, that sounds preferable. And this mean banning assault weapons WORKS!

    WTF? What the hell are you talking about?

    Desperation on pro-gun extremists because they have completely run out of arguments is definitely setting in.

    The average household has at least 2 cars in it. If people can afford 2 cars, they can certainly afford the 3D printed machine. The only point "proven" is your ability to disregard anything that doesn't suit your agenda. Just imagine the price coming down as they start becoming more and more common in households and businesses on top of how easy they are to get NOW. But hey, you keep dreaming your dream.

    Are you forgetting your own words now?

    "So stop the nonsense! Ban "assault weapons". Which includes banning parts, kits, bullets, the tools to make them..."

    I don't think anybody with more than 2 neurons left in their brain would interpret that as saying that we should ban screwdrivers.

    Hey, a semi-automatic AR-15 is an "assault" rifle if I throw it at you. :)

    Do you think the anti-abortion types will "get" the same message about the impossibility of banning abortion?

    I didn't say 'screwdrivers'... what tools do you want to ban? (aside from guns, obviously)

    Read my post! Any tools designed to make ammunition or parts for "assault weapons".

    Should have been more than obvious...

    Or maybe the maga hat some angry "adult" liberal knocked off a 16 year old kids head in a restaurant before throwing his drink in his face? It does seem to paint a Target on you for angry liberals if you wear one in public

    Like those hats?

    Then you should have no problem in explaining what this imaginary assault weapon is?
    I'll wait as you will be the first to do so

    Thanks, you're doing everything you can to help make me a billionaire. Even though you have no idea what you're talking about and it would embarrass most people to be this far from any logic.

    Yes, when they say "build", they mean assemble from a kit. The kits come with all parts, except one, which is 80% done, and needs some work. They argue its not a gun because one part is only 80% done. However fetus is a baby even if its only 1% done (i'm ok with the baby argument, but it shows some inconsistencies in their arguments).

    It sounds like you don't even know what those tools are... tools used to make guns are used to make everything else made out of metal too. Any machine shop already has all the tools one needs to build a firearm from scratch because those same tools are used to make lots of other machine parts. I suppose bullet molds arent useful for anything but making bullets, but its also not hard to make a bullet mold ...unless you want to ban jewelry making tools as well.

    How did Biden "cause" inflation? Did he pull the wrong lever in the Oval Office?
