Oregon ballot measure to ban "Assault" Weapons

[stanc]

I disagree Stan,LR55, dysfunctional type personalities will use what ever is readily available to harm others during a rage of uncontrolled anger.

Probably true, but a lunatic with an AR-15 and 100-rd magazines is capable of killing a helluva lot more people than a nut with a knife.

There is a reason why we have so many mass shootings, and so few mass stabbings.

There are over 250,000 deaths every year in the US because of medical malpractice, yet most people will never hesitate to seek medical help when sick or injured.

Again, not relevant.

The good out ways the risk logic.

Therein lies the problem: The "March for Life" people see no good in having rifles like the AR-15, and too much risk.

There have been 262 million victims of democide in the last century, yet many people wish to ban the very firearms which could help prevent such disasters. Division of power logic.

What sane person considers democide in this country to be even remotely possible?

In 2014, there were 248 murders with all types of rifles,"not just the AR type" in the US from the last records we have from the FBI. Considering mass murderers use other types of weapons and means to commit such acts, banning the AR type rifles is going to achieve very little.

You don't know what the effect would've been if the perpetrators of mass shootings had not had access to guns.
