Ok. You mean the ban of specific guns or types of guns. I do agree that assault weapons bans are troublesome, mostly because the people deciding what makes a gun an “assault” weapon don’t really know what they’re talking about. That said, I do think there are weapons that the average person should absolutely not be able to purchase. At least, not without formal training. Beyond this, guns in general are still available, and if legislatures pass these kinds of laws, they can be rescinded with the next election if the population wants that. While it’s not ideal for gun enthusiasts, it’s not like they don’t have all sorts of alternative options.
if the police can legally use a weapon on my dog, I shouldn't be barred by any laws from owning that weapon too. this is the wrong direction to approach gun violence from
