I don't have to describe all facets of all topics.
Assault rifles are already regulated and I'd be stoked to see dangerous dogs at least regulated
Assault Rifles were completely illegal until 2004. Since then mass shootings have skyrocketed, with the majority being committed with Assault Rifles.
If you want to make an argument about something, you should probably know what you're talking about. I am arguing that we should go back to the way things were in 2003 when you could not legally own an assault rifle without significant credentials.
Assault Rifles are a bad idea, and do more damage than good. Same with Pitbulls. None of this "individual responsibility" bullshit, I want less dead people.
Miss.
You could buy an assault rifles in any year with the right paperwork. It was just incredibly hard to acquire.
Regarding recent mass shootings, you're thinking of semi automatic ar15s so maybe check your shit
I wasn't licensure, accountability and consequences
