no the facts don't . Abolishing 2nd amendment rights isn't the answer.Yes sir it is, and the facts say so.

a better way to put it is why would one want to buy an AR 15 in the first place?
I would really love to have a tommy gun. I'm not a rich man, so I have better ways to spend my money.Because too many Meal Team Six members have a military fetish.
I doubt we agree on regulation.
I think we should ban the manufacture of new firearms for 20 years.
Until the 2A is altered or eliminated, you're not going to get support from gun owners on banning guns. I do think you might get enough on board with an assault weapons ban, which I think the previous iteration was fairly effective.Nonsense. Banning objects/weapons has stopped mass killings in other countries and would do the same here. The 2nd Amendment as currently interpreted is NOT working.

The same applies with banning the manufacture of guns. The courts would strike that down in short order unless the 2A is modified or eliminated. And I don't see gun owners supporting that.
Regardless whether you agree with them or not, you'll need buy in from gun owners to see lawd passed increasing the regulation of firearms. Nothing is gonna happen without building bridges and meeting them halfway. Maybe over time, you get more buy in from more gun owners.
A lot of guns are manufactured overseas, so you'd have to address that as well. Keeping guns out will be about as effective as keeping drugs out tho.apples and oranges.
There aren't black market gun factories. Every single gun used in a crime was manufactured legally, and sold to a "responsible gun owner" the first time.
Eh, guns have long been smuggled into the US in addition to drugs. Criminals will find a way. It's certainly a more difficult logistical challenge, but it can be done.Let's try and find out.
I would argue that the two industries are totally different. It would be much more difficult to illegally manufacture firearms and sneak them into the country than drugs.

I think most people would agree with that, including a good percentage of gun owners.A better way to put it may be that you lower the number of them.
It quite literally is that simple. Ban the AR15 and other assault weapons. To not do so at this point is lunacy.
Sure, maybe not now, but I wouldn't be surprised if gun manufacturers pick up and move to a country where they can operate freely and the ease and scale would change pretty quickly.Smuggling would be a problem - I'm assuming it is in countries that have weapons bans/restrictions in place - but I wouldn't expect the ease and scale to be the same as with drugs.
