Dick's Sporting Goods will stop selling assault-style rifles

One, maybe two more massacres, I reckon.

 

one or two in the immediate future and I would say people will start to organise.

 

All situations differ.

When business owners have used AR-15s to defend their place of business during urban riots, the rioters were kept some distance away I believe.

People use such guns for hunting as well as defense. Hunting often involves long range shots.

But even if an AR-15 is used to defend against an attacker is at close range, the greater stopping power of rifle bullets plus their ability to punch through Kevlar is still of great benefit.

 

The idea that our civil rights belong in the past is chilling and Orwellian.

 

Study the NRA's history of blocking that regulation.

And study how the courts strike down unconstitutional regulation.

 

That is too vague to have meaning.

"Gun control" can refer to something that doesn't violate people's rights and helps solve a problem.

"Gun control" can refer to something that violates people's civil rights without solving any problem.

You proposed something that would violate people's civil rights without solving any problem. Nothing reasonable about that.

 

Everyone has the right to life, why does a axe wielding maniac NEED to kill.

 

Even a blind man on a galloping horse can see that massacres are a good reason for restriction. Restricting the type of gun is not restricting your right to bear arms because, guess what, you will still have guns!

Just because a piece of paper says you can have a gun, doesn't mean you can pick any type you want.

Why don't you strut down the street or protect your family (good grief) with a GE M134 Minigun?

 

`
That's a business decision that Dick's Sporting Goods made. That's their prerogative. Thankfully our economy is not run by communists.

Assuming your attacker is a policeman in SWAT gear.

 

A gun law isn't a step forward. There are t

So you consider those who understand that more laws won't fix the problem are unreasonable and irrational? I see it in exactly the opposite way. Creating more gun laws is irrational unless our society wants to do something to control shooters.

 

Pretty darn close to a non sequitur, but the 'need' is in their brain, regardless of the tool at hand.

 

If somebody owns a tamale stand and wants to change it to a hamburger stand, they can.

If somebody owns a shop selling Bavarian memorabilia and wants to change to Nazi memorabilia, they can.

If somebody owns a shop selling KKK memorabilia and wants to change to baseball cards, they can.

 

Chuckles. I don't know if it was mentioned yet but ah... Only 5% of DSG stores even sold guns like the AR-15. Rofl. 5%

Yep it was smart. They lost nothing and will gain quite a few leftist snowflake hiking boots sales.

 

But for you to need a gun is in your brain. You're brainwashed into this need.

 

The problem with uneducated opinions like yours is you is well it's not knowledgable enough to have anything other than an emotional opinion on this subject.

At this point after numerous threads educating leftists on what exactly an AR-15 is.. Not what it looks like I can only come to the conclusion that it's willful ignorance due to needing a political platform to run on. Since the economy and immigration are lost.

If you ban AR-15s you literally have to ban every rifle other than single bolt action rifles in America.. Literally.

Look :

The AR platform can be adapted to dozens of different calibers, like this Rock River Arms LAR-6.8 chambered in 6.8 Remington SPC.

.223 Remington / 5.56x45mm. ....300 AAC Blackout / .300 Whisper. ...6.5 Grendel. ...6.8 Remington SPC. ...5.7x28mm. ...7.62x39mm. ....458 SOCOM.


The AR series of weapons are not one rifle. They are a platform.. What's a platform? It's just a fancy way of saying a stock, action, and a barrel.

I wish leftists would at least research what they are trying to take away sigh. It's not feasible or ever going to happen. It's just politics and the media is fueling leftist hysterics.

I have pointed out repeatedly that Americans right now can, do, and will continue to buy fully automatic real weapons of mass murder potential every day online but no one cares. Don't believe the lies of anyone saying it's hard. It's not, nor is it prohibitively expensive

But those facts don't fit the agenda. No one really cares

 

Nice broad, generic, unspecific - and thus, meaningless - statement you have there.

 

The 2nd will never be repealed.
Feel free to prove me wrong.

 

Indeed.
Unlike the AR15.

 

Your question is in no way relevant to my statement.
Please do try harder.

 

If you are swayed by fallacious appeals to emotion, sure.
For rational, reasoned people, not so much.

Just like banning Islam does not restrict your right to religion, because you can still be a Jew.

Just those that qualify as "bearable arms".
Feel free to present a sound argument that semi-automatic rifles do not.

 

Purpose designed for the military. Modified to meet the legal requirements of the civilian market.

 

You are fully aware of the fact both of these statements are false.

 

Tell that to the victims of gun shootings.

 

I'm fully aware that your agenda doesn't encourage you to admit it.

Me, I call a spade a spade.
Your political corrects are your own.
