![]() No it would not be better. You do know that most murders that involve the use of a firearm and even most mass shootings involve the use of a semiautomatic handgun, not AR-15 semiautomatic rifles? Are you going to say "if you just outlaw handguns it would be better"?
https://www.statista.com/statistics/...on-types-used/ Handguns are the most common weapon type used in mass shootings in the United States, with a total of 143 different handguns being used in 95 incidents between 1982 and February 2020. These figures are calculated from a total of 118 reported cases over this period, meaning handguns are involved in over 80 percent of mass shootings. https://www.bettergov.org/news/fact-...y-all-murders/ Firearms were used to commit 73% of all murders in 2017, FBI data show. And in at least 64% of those cases, the firearm was a handgun. In another 28% of murders committed with firearms, local police agencies did not specify the type used when reporting those cases to the FBI. But experts told us it’s reasonable to expect instances in which the firearm was not identified would likely follow the same pattern as those that were categorized. After adding nearly two-thirds of the unidentified cases reported in 2017 to the handgun category, the share of firearm murders committed with a handgun rises to 82%.

![]() I have a better idea, why don't we outlaw murder? Then we would not have to worry about people killing other innocent people. See how easy that is?

You anti-gun weenies don't like firearms? Go live under your beds until you die. You will not deprive people of their right of self-defense against criminals, civilian type, or government type. Go bark at the moon! To Hell with compromise! |

This is true. When the UK banned guns there was no dramatic drop in homicides.Nor was there any dramatic decrease when the UK implemented their prior gun control laws. So it is a bogus comparison when anti-2nd amendment trash whine how the UK or Australia doesn't have the gun deaths we do. Because even before their bans they never had high numbers of homicides to begin with.Our homicides we have each year that don't involve the use of a firearm are higher than their homicides that involve the use of all sorts of weapons including homicides. Over one hundred years of crime data in the UK proves this. https://www.gov.uk/government/upload...-1898-2002.xls online excel viewers if you don't have one on your computer. https://sheet.zoho.com/sheet/excelviewer https://products.groupdocs.app/viewer/xls

![]() A friend of mine from New York, said that they were required to list every gun they owned on their registration. Most states, all you need is a registration for one gun, and that covers the rest that you own.
