Ok now that we are all caught up with our gun control terminology and we understand the facts and exactly what an assault rifle is we can now have a more educated debate on the assault rifle ban.

Going back to the points I made in my assault rifle ban facts infographic. Here is my breakdown of the infographic:

First and foremost, Assault is an action, not a thing. the term is simply used by gun grabbers to scare uninformed people into thinking that an ordinary firearm is some military weapon of destruction. It is false and not politically correct to call them that.

The only historic use of the term assault rifle referred to a fully automatic machine gun. ALL full-auto firearms are illegal for civilians to own. Again more misinformation from the pro gun control movement.

AR does not stand for assault rifle. It stands for Armalite, the company that originally manufactured it. More misinformation.

AR style firearms are no more deadly than any other firearm! They fire at the same rate of fire as any other modern firearm. You only get one shot per pull of the trigger.

Choosing the right weapon is crucial to the success of a mission. If you are planning mass murder in a small confined area like a school or nightclub, a handgun would be the best choice. You can smuggle it in easier. You can have one in each hand for twice the firepower. It shoots just as fast and the target acquisition will be much faster.

If you are planning mass murder in a big outdoor area like the Vegas shooting, a high powered sniper rifle like the bold action Remington 700 chambered in .308 would a good my choice. You could make much more accurate shots and do way more damage in the same 9 minute time frame. Yet these weapons are not in question. Not that they should be.

Even a real assault rifle would not be the ideal weapon of choice for mass murder. It is best on an open mid-range battlefield. The only reason AR’s are a popular gun for mass murderers to use now is that they are a popular gun all around. It is the new norm. Get used to it!

If Mcdonalds has more instances of food poisoning than any other restaurant, it is not because they are the worst restaurant. It is because there are more people eating more meals there. This obviously raises the chances of someone getting sick there.

Over 7,000 murders are committed a year with handguns. Only 403 with rifles. The government is going after what they are scared of, Not what is dangerous to US citizens. They don’t mind using the naive and uninformed to do it.

Our founding fathers wanted us to have the same weaponry as the government. anti-gun advocates like to say that modern firearms didn’t exist back then. But muskets did and we both had exactly the same weaponry. Some plantation owners even had cannons in their backyards. If you have a large ranch and you want to patrol your property with an Apache helicopter, you should be able to. Obviously, misusing the vehicle is already illegal.

Assault Rifles were already banned! We already tried it and it didn’t make any difference. 16 mass murders still happened.

The solution is not more gun control. We already have that. How many more times can you restate the same law? Murder is illegal. All you can accomplish is penalizing innocent citizens who have done nothing wrong and make it harder for them to defend themselves against criminals who will still have guns.

If you want to have a gun control debate about real solutions that will actually make a difference like investigating straw purchases, better mental health care, and reporting, and early detection systems that will alert us when someone is about to crack, then we can argue that. At least that will be more productive gun debate.
