CA Rep wants to "Ban Assault Weapons, Buy Them Back, Go After Resisters"

[Sticks]

Well, Australia reportedly has not had any mass shootings with rifles like the AR-15 since their ban...


Oh, please. Not that silliness again.

In case you hadn't noticed, there is a very real concern about such shootings throughout the country, not just among some California politicians.
To dismiss the issue as a "scapegoat boogeyman created by tyrants" won't help anyone deal effectively with the reality.

The concern is fueled by the media and politicians. Keep people focused on the that one tree, and they will not see the forest being clear cut around them.

Some violent person kills multiple people with a rifle, it's a tragedy, but it's insignificant to the number of other deaths that could be prevented.

Prescription drug deaths - should we ban those? Well that would be silly, since they (Rx drugs) save more than they kill.

Drinking and driving - Prohibition again? We saw how that worked. Lot of people drink alcohol, an insignificant number drive when they shouldn't, and has fallen off the radar since the '90s.

Texting and driving/distracted driving, yet we still have not even considered banning cell phones or required them to shutdown when moving faster than 5mph. We just make gadgets to make it easier to pay attention to the phone hands free.

Influenza.....30k +/- in the US. Guns...13k +/-. Mmmmmkay. The billionaires and politicians would rather get guns away from the peasants than find something that keeps killing off a lot of the young and old every year.

Bad Doctors and Hospital mistakes...Rich people that spent a lot of time and money send a disturbing amount to the basement.


OMFG!!!! Gotta get rid of the guns.

Stanc - You are great at dismissing everyone else, and (I'm sure) examples that I have listed above, effectively supporting these gun control measures. Do you not have a position to oppose these actions by the left to impose more restrictions on firearm ownership?

Are you actually in favor of the continued restrictions that we (the average paranoid gun nut) are fairly confident will lead up to the US falling in line with the rest of the world in removing firearms from the hands and homes of the average population?

I am fairly sure this has been asked of you before, and i have no desire to go searching the several hundred 2A threads looking for it, so please, I am asking it again.
